ST. PATRICK'S DAY CONTEST!

White House Fountain Is Puke Green!

It's teevee's Linda Blair!Who exorcist-puked in the White House fountain? Maybe nobody! Chicago street organizer Michelle Obama “ordered” the pretty fountain to be ruined in this gross way, because this is how Chicago people “celebrate” the Irish Plague, “Saint Patrick’s Day,” which is apparently today. SPECIAL CONTEST MISSION: Go take a comical picture of this, use props, make dumb faces, whatever, and send it to us, quickly, and the best pictures will be posted right here with a link to your livejournal or whatever. SPECIAL CONTEST PRIZE: Best Picture Taker wins a coveted Wonkette Operative t-shirt. Newell will bring it to your house tonight. [We Are Dead Serious]

    Fuck the Green Fountain. I’ve got plans.

    Oh the words that he spoke
    Seemed the wisest of philosophies
    Theres nothing ever gained
    By a wet thing called a tear
    When the world is too dark
    And I need the light inside of me
    Ill walk into a bar
    And drink fifteen pints of beer

    Iam going, I am going
    Any which way the wind may be blowing
    I am going, I am going
    Where streams of whiskey are flowing

    I guess the Potato Famine was the final revenge the English took on us for the War of 1812. “Let’s see how those Yank bastards love millions of unwashed, alcohol-soaked, Hibernian starch-gobblers!”

    it’s cuter than i thought it would be, but i am still so very ashamed.

  4. BillyClubb says at 2:07 pm, March 17th, 2009

    …it’s the first time the water in the White House fountains has been dyed.

    Really? I thought Cheney regularly dyed the fountain’s water with blood. Just for fun, and to show that he could.

    So now they’re secret Papists too? Do they also take orders from the Great Whore of the Vatican in addition to Allah and Karl Marx?

  6. smashtheduck says at 2:09 pm, March 17th, 2009

    I have a friend working at the OEOB but he won’t take a pic for me. Something about classified and secret service and can’t afford to lose my job haven’t stocked up on hobo beans….wimp.

  7. Serolf Divad says at 2:09 pm, March 17th, 2009

    I knew I should have voted againt O’Bama. This just proves my fears correct.

  8. NoWireHangers says at 2:10 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Yes, each year in Chicago they “dyed” the Chicago River green, but the sad thing was that Bubbly Creek was always some disgusting shade of polluted.

  9. jagorev says at 2:12 pm, March 17th, 2009

    NoWireHangers: I assume mostly with Rahm Emanuel’s body parts/victims?

  10. horned_viper says at 2:15 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Let’s hope it is food dye and not from nuclear waste drums.

  11. smashtheduck says at 2:17 pm, March 17th, 2009

    The white house fountain has the clap. Awesome.

  12. DoctorCulturae says at 2:18 pm, March 17th, 2009

    BillyClubb: Darth did, but only because the plumbing backed up. And of course no one “noticed.” I certainly “didn’t.”

  13. skyinator says at 2:18 pm, March 17th, 2009

    If I make sexy-time photo with green fountain and by chance win, can I get a can o’hobo beans instead of t-shirt? I’m friggin’ starvin’. Thanks.

  14. Happy St. Muslin’s Day!

  15. Bronkers says at 2:20 pm, March 17th, 2009

    … so, we’re seeing the first glimpses of redecorating? So much for measuring the drapes.

  16. space stout says at 2:20 pm, March 17th, 2009

    now we know why its impossible to find shamrock shakes this year.

  17. Hedley Lamar says at 2:21 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Do they still have a “white’s only” fountain, or just the colored one?

  18. tunamelt says at 2:21 pm, March 17th, 2009

    skyinator: Maybe it’s a beef jerky t-shirt.

    Beat the Irish.

  19. Today, we are all underdressed leprechauns.

  20. Bronkers says at 2:22 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Hedley Lamar: FTW. **raises a Guiness in salute

  21. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:23 pm, March 17th, 2009

    YAA AN’ TEH CHICAGO RIVER IZ ONLY GREEN CUZ ITS FILLED WITH CORRUPTION MOONEY.

  22. AngryBlakGuy says at 2:28 pm, March 17th, 2009

    …well Dick Cheney made the fountains spray blood, so I guess this is an improvement right?!

  23. Accordion-o-rama says at 2:29 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Looks like someone’s ectoplasm containment unit has sprung a leak.

  24. NoWireHangers says at 2:29 pm, March 17th, 2009
  25. Lazy Media says at 2:30 pm, March 17th, 2009

    That fountain may be green on the outside, but inside the plumbing, it’s pure Red.

    OK, that doesn’t make sense. But here’s a thought: St. Patrick was Welsh. Which means this is secret Muslin code that B. Hussein Obama is going to Welsh on his promises to the American people. Hengh? HENNGHH?

  26. Come here a minute says at 2:31 pm, March 17th, 2009

    SKS is also farting green.

  27. Bronkers says at 2:32 pm, March 17th, 2009

    NoWireHangers: Inspired. You’re the decorator, obviously… I mean, what’s more chic than NoWireHangers?

  28. WadISay says at 2:33 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Also, to make the fountain more like Chicago today, the coins that you throw in for good luck are being called “bribes”.

  29. Mr Blifil says at 2:35 pm, March 17th, 2009

    The bagpipe is a Scottish instrument btw. The Uillean pipe is the Irish version, and you don’t march around playing it, you set it on your lap. So if you see a bagpiper walking around in a fucking skirt, kick him in the nuts and piss green beer on him. My people did not suffer the indignities of the famine to be travestied in this way.

  30. magic titty says at 2:40 pm, March 17th, 2009

    If I open my door tonight and Newell is standing there, I just might catch a case of the vapors.

  31. Botswana Meat Commission FC says at 2:43 pm, March 17th, 2009

    First Lady Michelle Obama came up with the idea for the festive touch, said spokeswoman Katie McCormick Lelyveld.

    Is there nothing that woman can’t do? I’m fairly sure her gaze of otherworldly blinding light will make your AIDS go away.

  32. Gin-o-saurus says at 2:56 pm, March 17th, 2009

    The sexy-time hibernian reminds me …. does every holiday have to turn into a halloweenesque sloor fest ? I mean REALLY, its still march ladies, i love drunk christinas as much as anybody, but save the green nails and whore shorts for the jersey shore.

  33. Botswana Meat Commission FC says at 3:02 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Gin-o-saurus:
    Whore shorts are never out of season.

  34. qwerty42 says at 3:07 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Mr Blifil: when I was in Ireland, I visited a small town to the south of Dublin. They were having a parade that day. A pipe band from the Irish Army was marching down the street (the Scots really did well with that “tartan” idea and all — the army band wore green kilts so looked somewhat like a cross dressing pipe band). The tune they played was something I had not heard in many, many a year. My old father used to sing it. It took a bit to recognize it. The song the band played that day was “Marching through Georgia”.

  35. saggyboobedhag says at 3:18 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Is that Meghan McCain with her belly airbrushed?

  36. hobospacejungle says at 3:24 pm, March 17th, 2009

    I’ll take the woman in the bra, please. Minus the bra. And the gnarly green clothing.

  37. Accordion-o-rama says at 3:30 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Mr Blifil: Learning time. Uilleann pipes are only one type of Irish bagpipes. The Irish Army uses the Irish Warpipe when marching. An long, though still incomplete, list of bagpipes may be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bagpipes

  38. Mr Blifil says at 5:01 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Accordion-o-rama: You’re right, I stand corrected. But the Uillean pipe is from the countryside, and is the old traditional type nevertheless. Thanks for the link though, without it I would never have seen this dude’s “huge instrument.”

  39. Will work for shoes says at 5:09 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Bronkers: I don’t care what they do to the fountain but, Lord please, get rid of all the yellow curtains.

  40. Atheist Nun says at 5:12 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Considering an Catholic Irishman James Hoban architect born Callan County Kilkenny Ireland designed the White House, they should have painted the whole thing Green. Also designed the Parliament In Dublin Ireland, which he used as an inspiration! for the White House. Checkmate ignoramus….LOL!!!

    As regards an image it would be you wearing a Dunce cap piss sprayed green….
