POLITICO MUST BE BOMBED TO HELL, RIGHT NOW: “Obama has been photographed several times without his shirt as a presidential candidate but he’s about to step into the White House — so how much skin is too much? There is a fine line, experts said, and this time at least, Obama was on the right side of it.” And in the next paragraph, there’s a quote from an expert! He says it’s normal for the humans to take their shirts off at the beach! And the expert’s name is “Howard Bragman,” which is clearly made up. Ugh. We’re not even going to link to this article. [Mystery Link]
What is the mystery link? I am on cold meds so I don’t get it(does anyone?)
“It’s normal for the humans to take their shirts off at the beach!”
Not. Good Muslim men do not take their shirts off!
Topless Obama makes the Wingnuts uncomfortable and feeling all throbby.
The stupid, it burns!
And Bitterz are bummed cuz it coulda been a topless Hillary.
Yeah, I think Bill Clinton showed a little too much skin at the white House, in the Oval Office, with Monica Lewinski. As long as Barry doesn’t cross that “fine line” he can walk around the White House shirtless for all I care.
It it was on on Politico then expect the comment:
“NOBAMA IS A MUSLIN, THEY DON’T REMOVE THEIR SHIRTS, ONLY SHOES11!!!1″
Topless bathing: is it Lincolnesque? Politico reports, you decide.
This is such a double standard. When SnowBilly was basking by the pool at the GOP Guvs convention in Florida, everyone paid attention and we couldn’t see any of her girly bits.
Its time to step up to the plate Snowbilly - if you want to be presidential, start acting that way.
If you stare at the mystery link picture long enough you can see the word “Hopey”
Bruno: ugghhh! Must use teh brain bleach. Thank g-d i’m teh gay
There’s lots of pix of Kennedy with his shirt off, poolside. Point is, no matter what their politics, most presidents know when the world doesn’t want to see them with their shirt off. Nixon? Reagan? Either Bush? No, and no thank you.
Bruno: By these standards, Paris Hilton is more presidential than SnowBilly
How does Politico manage to be so boring? It’s boring to look at, boring to read, boring to think about. Do you suppose they have an in-house Director of Boringness who exterminates all interesting information or graphics?
As a regular reader of Talking Points Memo, I know boring when I see it.
finallyhappy: well, im pretty high, and i think it’s moving…or is it?

The mystery link…that’s a penis for sure.
We can be grateful that we never saw W with his shirt off. However, one of his loyal retainers guarding our Homeland is named Shirtoff. A befitting name for the team of Bush, Dick and Cuntileeza.
Muslim men can go around shirtless all they want. Aladdin only wore only a vest and MC Hammer pants.
Finally a President I can wank to for his policies, power, and looks. This is why McCain/Palin lost, Sarah never walked around showing off the sweater meat.

ManchuCandidate: Shirtless Obama means nothing to the wingnuts. He’s above age 12.
Shit, Obama is 15 years older than me and if I had his body, I’d only wear a shirt of you staple-gunned it to my chest. I wouldn’t even own any shirts unless they were skintight. I’d go to work shirtless with a jacket and tie, and my only concession to the cold would be band-aids on my nipples. You do you, Hopey.
Wait…it’s NORMAL to strip down to your civvies on a tropical island in the sun?
Exposing your breasteses for all the world to see?
Why can’t women, then?
You know Rick Warren would hit that. C’mon.
He’s not naked enough.
Perot le fou: I feel the same way looking at the Mystery Link as I do when I read Michele Malikin.
That Politico column seems to be full of both Bias and Bull.
“Eat your heart out, Sarkozy,” wrote one commenter on The Huffington Post, one of a select few outlets to receive the images Monday.
Heh, heh — Politico won’t grab the pix from TMZ. Babies.
Darehead:
For you.

More the Politico’s Style of swimwear.

God I hate slow news weeks. And I don’t mean that as a shot at Wonkette; just in general, slow news weeks make for little snark. I can barely get excited about the vapidity of Politico.
Animal Collective, the Wonkettes? You too?
…well he certainly looks more comfortable than Michelle!
Thanks a lot Wonkette. Between the mystery link and the strobe-esque LED lights that I bought for their energy-saving goodness, I will be queasy and/or having an acid flashback all morning.
Monsieur — so that’s Trig’s real mother! It all makes sense now.
AngryBlakGuy: Hey, Burkinis are all the rage now.
Waldo Geraldo Faldo: The Jim only talks so much trash about dope-smoking Second Life hippies cause HE IS ONE.
The fact that Barry won’t allow Michelle to be topless too proves that he is a Muslim.

Did that come out ok? I scratched my eyes out….
Drudge has a poll asking his Drudgetards who looks better shirtless?
Obama or Putin?
Putin is winning.
I like the mystery link more than anything I see on Politico.
Inna-gada-da-vida baby!
Darehead: …you should should see the tan lines!
These are the important issues in this country, which is why we must all be firebombed immediately.
Ugh, that’s so dumb.
Delicious: …oh my god, I thought you were joking, and no. No you are not. Isn’t asking his target audience of self-loathing gay men who think they can pray their orientation away which guy looks hotter shirtless going to cause their brains to implode?
Delicious: That’s just ’cause the Drudgetards look into Putin’s soul — his shirtless, man-titted, autocratic, baby-eating soul — and get hot. It takes all kinds.
People take their shirts off at the beach?
What about the obscene bare skin offending the sensibilities of the young ladies?
Next thing you know, women will be wearing short dresses showing off bare ankles or something. Hmph.
Can you stop with these stupid pictures? It’s like the Peggy Noonan thing–why, and who the hell cares? It’s a guy on the beach on vacation–like tens of millions of other people every week. Do you guys not ever go to the beach? We all love Wonkette–but, really, no one cares if someone goes to the beach. No one cares. Move on! Next news story, please! There’s a lot going on the world.
Howard Bragman is a famous flack.
thefrontpage: Really- something more important than the photo of our hot new president? Looking for News of the boring- ever hear of CNN or NYT?
I don’t understand this. Where is the spandex costume that Hopeyman wears beneath his secret-identity “Barack Obama” garb?
Does this mean that Teh Gheys forgive him now?
thefrontpage: Here you go! You’re most welcome!
A Geek Tragedy: Nope
Don’t most experts in how much skin you should show mostly work in porn?
Don’t forget the White House Christmas card of 1911, featuring naked gastropod William Howard Taft sprawled out on a bearskin rug in front of a fire.
Serolf Divad: Either that or religion.
To: Politico
From: Hooray for Anything
Really?
The go to celebrity for shirtless, Matthew McConaughey, will do a spot on Today with body apologist Al Roker.
thefrontpage: Here here! I care deeply if someone goes to the beach! Hopey in trunks = Ah OOO Gah! BTW Mystery Link = Nausea
Putin is not going to allow this shirtless gap to continue. I suspect they are planning a shirtless counter-strike within the next week. If we are not careful we could have shirtless escalation that will bring in the French and then it will be totally out of control.
Who or what is the so-called “”NIA-MALIKA HENDERSON”" who graces the pages of Politico, and what does she/he/it — pronounced “sheeeeeit” — want? Has ’sheeeeeit’ got the hots for Hopey?
What’s the deal with this alleged “Paparazzo”? Is there some scheme afoot to inflame the loins of AMERICA, and weaken our Moral FiberTM?
C’mon, Wonkettes. We must get to the bottom of this.
AfghanVet: I cannot accept any additional escalation in the shirtless cold war until Kim Jong Il bears all.
‘And in the next paragraph, there’s a quote from an expert!’
Now, this ‘Naked Obama Expert’ job you speak of, can I apply for this on Obama’s employment webpage, or is this more of a freelance position?
Answer me this, Howard Brag Man: why does Mr. NOBama not wear an american flag bikini like my muse, the saucy snow-queen, America Lovin’ Sarah Palin. And where’s his gun? And don’t talk about that curly little prawn in his Speedo®. Real Americans don’t trust the sharks to behave themselves.
That’s what this country needs, dammit! More fetching nudity in the White House!
pourmecoffee: Everyone would hit that, to be fair.
People who say they wouldn’t are lying.
According to our press, we are a nation of retards.
