    Oh wow, that looks a *lot* like some of the b-roll I saw the other night on A&E’s “Secret Life of a Serial Killer”

    Holy crap! Was he calling Mittens’ old man to tell him to keep an eye on his plastic-haired, dog-torturing spawn?

  3. Any idea why old Dick was hoeing next to the baby?

  4. Remember Dan Aykroyd’s Nixon?

    That voice broke into my nightmares in the middle of the night.

  6. Dramatist says at 1:51 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Terry: Live Infant Burial.

  7. I heard that Nixon is being rehabilitated in the eyes of history, ’cause next to W he seems like Abraham HUSSEIN Lincoln.

    The good old days, when babies were on the enemies list and America was safe.

  9. TGY:

    Yeah, what’s a break-in and cover up compared to Gitmo, secret interrogation camps in Eastern Europe, invading Iraq under false pretenses, driving the Federal gov’t into the ditch, driving the economy into the ditch, etc etc etc etc

    When Nixon speaks, angels and hope all die in what appears to be a pit of fire and despair.

    You can’t quite see it in the picture, but the kid is reaching for a shoe.

    I greatly disliked my class when they attempted to vote Bush and Nixon as the historically worst presidents.

    Buchanan was gay & therefore should have been impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors.

    “no summers high?”

    “no even time for birds to fly to southern skies”

    ????

  14. Gary__Cooper says at 2:07 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Terry: I don’t think he was hoeing.

    He was digging.

  15. Gary__Cooper says at 2:09 pm, December 17th, 2008

    user-of-owls: I thought this was very funny.

    Caption: Richard Nixon smiles on his new crop of babies for Dick Cheney’s banquet.

  17. First, Nixon really lives in a crappy looking house. Hasn’t he learned to shake people down or do deals in Astana or Almaty? Also, is he trying to play snooker with that poor baby’s head.

    A remake of one of my all time favorites
    of Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton singing
    Islands in the Stream.

    I never thought a version could top them,
    but this just might do it.

    Oh
    My
    God

    Oh My God

    Did anybody notice that during the Checkers speech in the 50s, when he talks about Pat’s tattered cloth coat, he masturbates furiously for a good 10 minutes before starting again with his prepared remarks?

  20. norbizness says at 2:33 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Campbell is smiling at my last joke. STARBURST!

  21. ForTheTurnstiles says at 2:35 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Gary__Cooper: Man, Axl has had a lot of surgery, hasn’t he… This new Guns n Roses shit sounds a lot like Barry Manilow.

  22. DeLand DeLakes says at 4:08 pm, December 17th, 2008

    TGY: Nixon’s resignation heralded the death of the until-then dominant form of American conservatism, the craven, scheming, vindictive but nonetheless intelligent brand of Republicanism. Since then Republicans have figured that they are better off going with the smilingest dunderhead they can find for chief of state, while the craven, vindictive, crafty lot run things from behind the scenes (see the Beastman Cheney.)

  23. So what’s so creepy about that recording, I get a little misty-eyed hearing it and thinking of those simpler times when all our problems could be solved by bombing Cambodia, sending our ping-pong team to China and burning draft cards… And I don’t think Campbell would appreciate this level of snarkiness, so there!

  24. Since when did the Tricky One EVER do his own yardwork??? Oh please….
