YES WE CAN'T

Common Criminals Love Barack Obama

It is our time, for you to do time!
At least you people limit your Barack Obama fetish to tasteful artwork such as this naked Obama upon the Unicorn. But for America’s very lousy low-level criminals, there’s nothing like some cheap bootleg knockoff YES WE CAN t-shirt to really make a mugshot special. [The Smoking Gun]

  1. And somewhere, in the cesspools of NRO’s the Corner, this is going to be cited as proof that Ashley Todd was a prophet.

  2. Darehead says at 1:26 am, December 18th, 2008

    Whereas high level, uncommon criminals support Rod Blagojevich.

  3. obfuscator says at 1:33 am, December 18th, 2008

    at least 4 of these guys could be my dad. HI DADS!

  4. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:36 am, December 18th, 2008

    As a frequent patron and contributor to Mug Shot Photos of Black Folks Wearing Obama T-Shirts Being Arrested. com
    All of these people deserve SUSPENDED SENTENCES.

    Not in the picture: Their drug paraphernalia also feature the ubiquitous Obama logo.

  6. Wonks Adventure says at 1:44 am, December 18th, 2008

    what’s that, wonkette readers? you don’t have enough nightmares yet? oh, allow me to assist you:

    (the collection of obama supporters is #1 out of the 20 best mug shots … this particular gentleman was linked from the original post of #8 in that same list)

  7. contentsunderpressure says at 1:53 am, December 18th, 2008

    Wigger alert! And of course he has the freshest T.

  8. This dude is the president-elect, not Martha bloody Stewart. What’s next? Are we going to have the Obama “Black” line in Kmart to compliment Martha’s “White” line of home furnishings?

  9. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 2:02 am, December 18th, 2008

    Yeah, just wait for the next big prostitution sting, and the run of hookers in “Palin ‘12″ T-shirts.

  10. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:04 am, December 18th, 2008

    Wonks Adventure can eat itself. There are ethnic groups into one thing, but there are a larger collection of whites (who make up 90%) in this shit stain country that WE ALL COUNT ON AND LOVE so of course we should find blame and be afraid of that collage er whatever of angry white people in makeup.

  11. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:16 am, December 18th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: You will adheed the woman’s advice and sleep now.

  12. CuntryFirst says at 2:20 am, December 18th, 2008

    wait a second, is that Cosby on the lower right?

  13. Numbat Dundee says at 2:34 am, December 18th, 2008

    Bring me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses yearning to be free, and I’ll give them a nice t-shirt to wear for their mug shot.

  14. Jukesgrrl says at 2:40 am, December 18th, 2008

    Any one of these guys will do more time than Madoff, and whatdaya wanna bet they’ll not wait for their trials in Park Ave. condos, ordering take-out from Le Bernardin? What a country we live in.

  15. I have a T-shirt with a picture of Alan Greenspan on the front of it. Does this make me a free market montarist or a criminal or both?
    I have a T-shirt with a picture of Larry Summers on the front of it. Same question.

  16. lepidimus says at 4:31 am, December 18th, 2008

    Wonks Adventure: Unfortunately, his Obama 08 tattoo was bleached out by the flash.

  17. AngryBlakGuy says at 5:08 am, December 18th, 2008

    …this reminds me of a really fukked up version of the “Brady Bunch!”

  18. Darehead says at 5:18 am, December 18th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: You know, that is much more than a hunch.

  19. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 5:57 am, December 18th, 2008

    I knew that Obama’s “T-Shirts for Felonious Hobos” campaign was a bad idea.

  20. sowbelly says at 6:01 am, December 18th, 2008

    All those people look alike to me anyway, so great fucking disguise!

  21. badgerworks says at 6:12 am, December 18th, 2008

    When did we catch Adam Gadahn?! (top left)

    Hey, something is different about this site. I can’t quite put my finger on it. New fonts? No, not that. The background color is still the same. I’m sure it’ll jump out and be as obvious as a big, honking picture of Campbell Brown.

  23. Come here a minute says at 6:43 am, December 18th, 2008

    8pm CNN weeknights — NEVER FORGET!

  24. shortsshortsshorts: Or SUSPENDERS for their PANTS! AMIRITE?!?!

  25. loquaciousmusic says at 7:41 am, December 18th, 2008

    jagorev: God bless you for getting there first. I was going to say that K-Lo probably shat her Spanks™ when she saw this picture.

  26. Darehead says at 8:02 am, December 18th, 2008

    I’m typing in my sleep now in the middle of a dream, in which it is 8 a.m. DC time and the witch of Wonkette, Campbell Brown, is no longer anywhere on this page! I wonder how long this dream will last! Please, no pinches!

  27. WagTehGod says at 8:26 am, December 18th, 2008

    I had no idea Dave Grohl was an Obamabot. Or a criminal.

  28. Darehead says at 8:29 am, December 18th, 2008

    Is it just me? Or do those common criminals above look, well, not bad, compared to mug shots of the usual rich and famous, people named Mel, and Nick, say for example:

  29. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 8:47 am, December 18th, 2008

    Darehead: It’s the hope in their eyes.

  30. Dan Perino says at 9:08 am, December 18th, 2008

    It’s as meh that the criminals become involved in politics as it is meh that our politicals become involved in crime. Opportunity to move from petty to stately plain of Randy “Duke” and Blagodicks.

  31. PoliticalGraffiti says at 9:09 am, December 18th, 2008

    ooh let me guess: drugs, fighting, drugs, drugs, drugs, fighting

  32. There’s a group of guys who sing doo wap songs in metro stations (I saw them on the green line after the Vampire Weekend show). They have the most fabulous, yet obviously black market (get it? BLACK MARKET?) Obama gear. Lots of puffy letters, LOTS OF SPARKLES. They have the Blingy ™ versions of the shirts Barry tried to sell us for $35 via email.

  33. Don’t you mean ‘love Barack HUSSEIN Obama’? The favorite of criminal, terrorist doofuses.

  34. norbizness says at 9:52 am, December 18th, 2008

    I am concerned about the effect of the demise of The Chappelle Show on crime statistics: lower-left looks like the “Can I holla atcha girl?” guy, and lower-center could be Ashy Larry minus the ashes.

  35. Criminals? Just ’cause they have mugshots? There isn’t any police state action to crack down on Obama supporters? Keep drinking the kool-aid, losers!

  36. I thought that pic was from Sesame Street segment. Sign along, I know you know the lyrics!
    One of these things is not like the other,
    one of these things just doesn’t belong….

  37. Darehead: You can spot them by their pompadours.

  38. slithytoves says at 11:16 am, December 18th, 2008

    All right - this pisses me off. I sent in fifty bucks the first time Plouffe promised me a limited edition Obam t-shirt - and two days before the election I got a crummy “Democrat Party, Not for Sale” t-shirt (which I believe, does qualify for irony). Who did these losers blow to get theirs?

  39. DMX is in the tank, literally

  40. I wanna see a picture of 6 law breakers in McCain shirts. Oh wait … they’re not in jail. They’re frolicking naked in piles of bailout bucks.

  41. Wonks Adventure says at 12:25 pm, December 18th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: um … what?

  42. heathenish says at 1:03 pm, December 18th, 2008

    Are these guys political prisoners? Makes it easy for the cops - they just pick up the people with Obama t shirts?

  43. problemwithcaring says at 3:49 pm, December 18th, 2008

    The real crime is what will happen if the guy in the top-center washes an iron-on sweatshirt.

  44. The right-wing equivalent of these awesome pictures would be those of people being booked for their DUIs/indecent exposures/domestic batteries in their “Old Glory” t-shirts. When Barry decrees the reintroduction of the Fairness Doctrine, every “urban” arrestee in an Obama tee will have to have a mullethead offender in a “These Colors Don’t Run” tee next to it.

  45. HillGirl says at 9:37 pm, December 18th, 2008

    obfuscator: That just made me laugh out loud.
