STFU

MAYBE THIS WILL HUSH THEM UP: Ahh, here’s a much deserved article in the Washington Post about how insanely rude and distracting it is for people like Dick Cheney and Andy Card to be whining about how Obama is helping the terrorists win with his LACK OF A SUIT COAT during the first few weeks of a new administration, and an economic collapse. These people should imitate their suddenly more dignified ex-boss, George W. Bush, and shush. [WP]

  1. I think the only reason we haven’t heard from Dubya is he’s in a tequila coma.

  2. shortsshortsshorts says at 4:12 pm, February 6th, 2009

    I would like to see Barry in a pant suit.

  3. Tommmcatt says at 4:16 pm, February 6th, 2009

    …and where is his little round hat? Don’t those people always have to wear little round train porter hats?

  4. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 4:18 pm, February 6th, 2009

    To the guillotines! Allez-y!

  5. freakishlystrong says at 4:20 pm, February 6th, 2009

    The best part of that article was by far, this; “Cheney Dunk Tank Raises $800 Billion for Nation”
    Courtesy of The Onion of course…
    Oh and Bush-ites, go the fuck away also…

  6. magic titty says at 4:23 pm, February 6th, 2009

    That article blew. There was no mention of Cheney as a marauding phony and a lunatic. I was hoping for something along the lines of, “Suck a dk. Kthxbai.”

    FMA: …pronounced: Te-Kill-Ya!

  8. facehead says at 4:28 pm, February 6th, 2009

    shortsshortsshorts: I always knew you were a closet PUMA.

  9. american mutt says at 4:30 pm, February 6th, 2009

    FMA: If true, then I would’ve voted for him for that reason alone.

    On the one hand they’re trying to undermine Obama’s administration and on the other they’re trying to salvage their own legacies.

    Reagan may still be seen as a John Wayne-type leader (and John Wayne was merely an actor playing his stage persona in real life) but Bush & company will be seen as the train wreck they were.

    If Obama can turn the economy around, bring some semblance of peace to the Middle East and retain civil liberties he’ll be seen as the real ‘Reagan’ of our age.

    The patch over cheney’s eys confirms he’s a pirate, and not the good kind.

  12. AngryBlakGuy says at 4:33 pm, February 6th, 2009

    …I would belly crawl across rubbing alcohol soaked razor blades to see someone hit that son of a bitch with a shoe. And I’m not talking about a loafer, Im talking a Yao-Ming sized steel toed Timberland, that someone moon-walked through dog-shyt with!!!

  13. Brendan M. says at 4:37 pm, February 6th, 2009

    AngryBlakGuy: I concur, provided that “shoe” means ice pick.

  14. Doglessliberal says at 4:39 pm, February 6th, 2009

    FMA: yeah, I was just wondering what he is doing with his days. Golf? Clearing brush? Binge drinking?

  15. qwerty42 says at 4:41 pm, February 6th, 2009

    I’m not clear on this: if you are torturing someone, should you be wearing a coat and tie? should the person you are torturing be wearing a coat and tie?

  16. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 4:41 pm, February 6th, 2009

    AngryBlakGuy: Personally, I’d like to see his skull impaled with the heel of one of Condi’s 5-inch stilletos she got from Ferragamo. But yea, with dog shit on it too. Also.

  17. CorkPopper says at 4:42 pm, February 6th, 2009

    Hey Bush officials? STFU, eat shit and die. Torture DOESN’T make us safer, tax cuts for the rich DON’T make us more prosperous, and nobody gives a rat’s ass what Barry wears to work. Hundreds of millions of people hate you. Get used to your irrelevance.

  18. Doglessliberal says at 4:42 pm, February 6th, 2009

    AngryBlakGuy: Why is Ginsburg dying of cancer when overweight, non-exercising, red- meat-eating evil Dick still alive? The only answer I can come up with is a sort of Faustian bargain for eternal life.

  19. Doglessliberal says at 4:43 pm, February 6th, 2009

    qwerty42: depends, what did the invitation say? Business torture dress? Casual torture dress? Black tie?

  20. Doglessliberal says at 4:46 pm, February 6th, 2009

    Imagine all the fun ways you could make the world better if you had Scalia, Cheney, Rove, Alito, Roberts, Thomas, and what the heck, just for giggles, Mark Penn and Mary Matalin in one place at one time? Maybe we could have Chesley land his US Airways on the room. Or feed them all peanut butter crackers.

  21. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 4:46 pm, February 6th, 2009

    Telling Andy Card and Bertie Gonzo to eat a bag of Dicks sounds perfectly reasonable, but telling Cheney to eat a bag of Andys or Berties doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.

  22. AngryBlakGuy says at 4:47 pm, February 6th, 2009

    queeraselvis v 2.0: …most female stilettos don’t have enough mass to do the type blunt trauma I’m fantasizing about.

  23. shanemacgowan says at 4:47 pm, February 6th, 2009

    This is not surprising. This group had great success from the time Jr. was propped up as the figurehead of the Texas Rangers through Katrina by being petty, nasty, disingeneous, and catering to the whim of a very small but influential segment of the population. They had no Plan B. When people realized that Plan A was a fraud, they had no fallback position. It is all they know. That is why they keep trotting out the petty, nasty lies at every opportunity.

    Doing the same thing over and over while hoping for a different outcome may be the definition of insanity, but it is the only recourse for this group.

  24. Sure, leave us with a disastrous financial apocalyse and THEN CRITICIZE SOMEBODY’S LACK OF COAT.

    To recommend these guys eat a bag of dicks is an insult to dick-eaters worldwide.

    “They say, ‘Oh, he did things in the Oval Office where Ronald Reagan never even took off his jacket.’ Honey, Reagan didn’t even know that he was wearing a jacket.”
    - Sandra Bernhard

  26. Doglessliberal says at 4:51 pm, February 6th, 2009

  27. I personally fault the Bushies for not wearing powdered wigs and ermine robes in the oval office, although maybe they did.

  28. CorkPopper says at 4:53 pm, February 6th, 2009

    Doglessliberal: Can we invite Grover Norquist, and maybe Hannity too? Just for giggles. I don’t need them to die painful deaths, I just want them to die.

  29. AngryBlakGuy says at 4:53 pm, February 6th, 2009

    Doglessliberal: …my hunch is that he actually died during one of those strokes he had and was sent back to earth by Malebolgia(a.k.a: the Devil)to bring about the apocalypse and lead his demon army! Kinda like SPAWN!

  30. sarcasticusername says at 4:55 pm, February 6th, 2009

    that was about as harsh as one of harry reid’s sternly worded letters.

  31. AngryBlakGuy says at 4:56 pm, February 6th, 2009

    Doglessliberal: …I think I know what I’m getting my girlfriend for her birthday! Sorry but I have a serious shoe fetish!

  32. frumious_bandersnatch says at 4:58 pm, February 6th, 2009

    The sad part is that when we hit ubercritical mass and the streets of America are awash in a foul mixture of hobo beans and blood (didn’t that happen in Tommy?), the MSM will gleefully go on reporting on these assholes insisting on how it’s all Hopey’s fault. And they will be believed by many. Can’t someone smart invent a virus that kills all stupid brain cells? Sure, we’d have zombies afterwards, but hey, zombies!

  33. qwerty42 says at 5:00 pm, February 6th, 2009

    Doglessliberal: well, suppose it’s kinda like in Brazil, and the “agents” just grab you no matter how you are dressed. So maybe it could be like the better restaurants, and they could provide you with coat and tie? no matter the sex, always a coat and tie. makes things simpler.

  34. widestanceromancer says at 5:04 pm, February 6th, 2009

    Seeing that picture of him means I’ll have Benny Hill music in my head all weekend. The two are fused in my head forever now.

  35. Doglessliberal says at 5:08 pm, February 6th, 2009

    CorkPopper: yes! And Newt Gingrich

    AngryBlakGuy: those are pretty awesome.

    qwerty42: wow, Brazil–long time since I saw that.

  36. Dean Booth says at 5:08 pm, February 6th, 2009

    Obama: Casual Ties
    Bush: Casualties

  37. Doglessliberal: Black Ties for a Black Site.

  38. Hooray For Anything says at 5:18 pm, February 6th, 2009

    It’s things like this that make me think those Soviet Commie Leaders had it right when they threw all of the previous regime’s leaders into the gulag.

  39. Doglessliberal says at 5:19 pm, February 6th, 2009

    bago: For some reason that makes me think of Mel Brooks in the Inquisition number from History of the World.

  40. PsycGirl says at 5:28 pm, February 6th, 2009

    AngryBlakGuy: If Kathyrn Jean Lopez was wearing the stilettos, surely that would change things.

    The noise will stop when Cheney finally chews his own tongue off…..

    Sources tell me they keep the bloody foaming at the mouth in check though the judicious application of fetal stem cells from China, and that the wheel chair has more to do with his fear of shitting out tiny mal-formed Chinese babies than anything to do with pulled muscles…although it is well know that he has chronic anal/oral tremors aggravated by years of snorting tainted baby laxative [a homeopathic alternative to shoving a garden hose up his ass]

    Unfortunately, the condition is infectious…thus the anal/oral problems experienced by much of Cheney’s ex-staff….

    The CDC expects the expense of treatment to run in excess of 15 trillion dollars…take at least twenty years for any sign of result…and cost 200,000 lives..

    Cheney and ex-staff will of course wear a suit throughout the entire ordeal….

  42. Gayer Than Thou says at 6:08 pm, February 6th, 2009

    AngryBlakGuy: Well, play safe whatever you do. Wear a condom and, in this instance, protective head gear.

  43. Andy Card began his Washington career as George H.W. Bush’s chauffeur. There is no rich guy on Earth half as snobby as a rich guy’s chauffeur. I think it comes from having to drive a car every day you could never hope of affording and wishing you could use it just once to go cruising for rent boys. Or, maybe those billed caps are just a little too tight. Anyway, that was my experience as a rent boy.

  44. Hooray For Anything: You are SO RIGHT! You have no idea…

  45. prophet1195 says at 7:00 pm, February 6th, 2009

    STFU, Bush disaster.

  46. NamVet73 says at 7:20 pm, February 6th, 2009

    bring him to Alaska and set him afloat on a ice slab…bear food…
    Here is the guy that was to find a VP for George Bush and finds himself, bringing in his agents, Rummy, Wolfawitz, Scooter and Halliburton. Many of his acquaintances have claimed the man is deranged, unhinged and no longer the same person they had known.

    Tasser him and set off his pacer…Micro wave omitter…cut the brakes on his chair…

    Shit only the good die young…

  47. AnnieGetYourFun says at 8:00 pm, February 6th, 2009

    It reminds me of all those statements that the Clinton administration made, like when Sandy Berger mentioned casually that “Clinton himself was able to count past 11.”

  48. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 8:36 pm, February 6th, 2009

    When will Cheney get around to the thing that is really pissing him off. Joe Biden has yet to shoot anyone in the face!

  49. arewethereyet says at 8:48 pm, February 6th, 2009

  50. Can somebody throw up the video clip of Card getting booed off the stage at UMass? At least he was wearing a suit!

  51. Bearbloke says at 9:38 pm, February 6th, 2009

    So terrorist mastermind Cheney plans to live the rest of his (current) life as Blofeld to Barry’s Bond?

  52. davesnothere says at 12:29 am, February 7th, 2009

    Mr. Potter.

  53. MortSinclair says at 8:31 pm, February 7th, 2009

    These sartorial asshats have likely forgotten, given their syphilitic dementia, that it was Cheney who showed up at the 50th Anniversary of D-Day sporting a fucking parka, replete with white-fur rimmed hood.

    Are these people for real? No, they are the Republican undead. HFS.

    If Dick Cheney were alive today….

  55. Time for Cheney to catch one in the grill…

    Here is a pic of A. Card in a Howdie Doodie shirt in the oval office! Sans tie!
