HYPOCRISY!

The ‘Jay Leno Backlash’ Comes Like A Hurricane

No clue who this person is, but yeah, it’s happened. You knew this article would be written eventually, or maybe you didn’t, because of the lack of sense being made. Basically this lady wrote speeches for George H.W. Bush and loved attending the secret media Gridiron Club dinner, then, but now Barack Obama has declined that invitation while accepting an invitation to this televised clown program. She seems to think that his appearance on Leno will be as a stand-up comic… but that’s not really how it’ll work, Miss Lady? You know? [US News]

    Mary Kate Cary = Miss Cleo

  2. comradepaulson says at 5:29 pm, March 17th, 2009

    I thought Mary Cary was a porn star?

  3. Jukesgrrl says at 5:29 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Yeah, like playing the sax (badly) on TV ruined Bill Clinton’s career.

  4. IceCreamEmpress says at 5:30 pm, March 17th, 2009

    I never believed anybody’s mother when they said “The other kids make fun because they’re jealous,” but I think Stanley Anne Dunham Obama Soetoro Dunham-again could have said that and actually meant it.

  5. smashtheduck says at 5:31 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Moderated comments? What kinda pinko-commie bullshit is that?

  6. loquaciousmusic says at 5:33 pm, March 17th, 2009

    But what does Ashley think?

  7. smashtheduck says at 5:38 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Sometimes, when I get really nervous. I put my fingers under my armpits like this. Then I smell them like this. SUPERSTAR.

  8. Jukesgrrl: And Billz never used a teleprompter while playing the sex, I mean sax

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

    Oh, yeah? Well… Did Nancy Reagan’s appearance on that “very special episode” of Diff’rent Strokes diminish her… uh… First Ladyhood? Did it?!?

  10. The multi-paragraph comments on that site remind me of this weekend’s new wonkette commenters. I hope the ban hammer slapped down hard on those multipage bores.

  11. SayItWithWookies says at 5:44 pm, March 17th, 2009

    It’s a pity that Barack Obama’s (casual dress code/going on Leno/fumbling of the AIG bonuses) has diminished the office of the presidency. Why, when I worked in the White House my (blood-drenched greedhead/world-class buffoon/kleptomaniac) boss used to accord these events the dignity they deserved, albeit with a morsel of (skepticism/anxiety about which fork to use/raving paranoia). Sigh — I guess it’s just a sign of the (times/dumbing down of America/coming Apocalypse) that noble office of the Presidency is not the (old boys’ club/lonely intellectual crag/oilmen’s brothel) that it once was.

  12. Abe Lincoln, the ultimate Republican, never did any TV ever. Therefore television bad. Ban Fox News

  13. LittlePig says at 5:47 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Marrying Battleaxe Barbara “The Fartsack of Flushing” Pierce was the move that most diminished Poppy’s Presidency.

  14. comradepaulson says at 5:51 pm, March 17th, 2009

    You know, it’s simple calculus. The Gridiron dinner involves an evening spent with multiple douchebags. The Jay Leno show only requires sitting down with one for about fifteen minutes. It’s not diminishing the Presidency; it’s effectively reducing one’s exposure to harmful douche-rays.

    I do not expect this Mary woman knows anything about this.

  15. Fox n Fiends says at 5:52 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Mary Kate Cary’s vagina will diminish our erections

  16. ManchuCandidate says at 5:53 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Anyone is diminished when they appear with Jay Leno.

  17. Custerwolf says at 5:56 pm, March 17th, 2009

    She outta commit Mary Cary.

  18. wheelie says at 5:57 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Bush Jnr did his famously funny “Those weapons of mass destruction gotta be somewhere” stand-up routine in 2004. Oh my, how we laughed. No-one can top that!

  19. grevillea says at 6:01 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Leno should get someone in blackface, with a banjo. That’s way more funny than an actual colored any day.

  20. Mr Blifil says at 6:03 pm, March 17th, 2009

    I would not titty-fuck her with Charles Grassley’s dick.

  21. Canuckledragger says at 6:09 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Stealing elections, with or without complicit Supreme Court? Cool!

    Starting a war on false evidence cherry-picked for provocation rather than certainty. Excellent!

    Remaining business partners with 9/11 mastermind’s family. No sweat!

    Turning the country into an internatonal laughingstock? Wunderbar!

    Suspending habeus corpus and spying on US citizens? Superior!

    Ensuring political donors end up being huge war profiteers? Noble!

    Being the biggest mass murderer since Nixon? An achievement!

    Appearing on a late night TV talk show? Beneath the president’s dignity!

    See how that shit works???

  22. grevillea says at 6:10 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Oh, and of course now SlumMooseWasillionaire is copying Barry, hoping she’ll be invited on a talkshow, also.

  23. grevillea says at 6:15 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Canuckledragger: She wrote for Bush 41, not 43. But yes, the ACORN does not fall far from the tree…

  24. wheelie says at 6:19 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Custerwolf: A most excellent pun!

  25. lawrenceofthedesert says at 6:21 pm, March 17th, 2009

    It’s classic t.v. — The Ears meet The Chin, a genuine Mr. Potato Head moment. Whereas Mary Kate’s boss was the Ass and out of the picture entirely.

  26. Dreadful Gate says at 6:25 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Do I come on Mary Kate Cary’s blog and knock the dicks out of her mouth? What?

  27. sarcasticusername says at 6:34 pm, March 17th, 2009

    and here i thought it was being a criminal asshat who can’t form complete sentences, that diminished a presidency.

    Teleprompter

    There are some questions as to whether Obama’s use of a teleprompter is appropriate. He has been using one for almost all of his speeches, and it seems as though he was using one last night on Leno. It should be at least clarified as to why he is using the teleprompter all the time. The American People deserve the truth about these teleprompter dealings.

  29. shortsshortsshorts says at 6:35 pm, March 17th, 2009

    And who did this comment?
    WIN
    “TELEPROMPTERZ

    TELEPROMPTERZ,

    TELEPROMPTERZ AYERS TELEPROMPTERZ TELEPROMPTERZ ACORN. SERIOUS TELEPROMPTERZ COMEDY MUSLIM TELEPROMPTERZ. ALSO TELEPROMPTERZ TELEPROMPTERZ.

    BUT TELEPROMPTERZ ACORN KENYA TELEPROMPTERZ.

    REGARDS,

    TELEPROMPTERZ”

  30. Don Diego Gallo del Pollo says at 6:50 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Bruno: But Reagan, the second most ultimate Republican did TV. He never did the Tonight Show though. Therefore, TV good, Tonight Show bad.

  31. smashtheduck says at 6:52 pm, March 17th, 2009

    shortsshortsshorts: you’re welcome. Glad you could join me in that hell. It was getting lonely but at least it hasn’t turned into the doctor Phil show.

  32. AnnieGetYourFun says at 7:02 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Shorts, you’re just about taking over the comments section. Thanks for the giggle, though.

    Really, I can’t think of anything stupider to whine about. What is WITH the press these days? Sheesh.

  33. prime ministress says at 7:05 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Ugh. Do not read that article. The click through traffic will get her all excited, and she will start selling digital cable converters and writing incoherent books and buying a plumbing business without a license.

  34. Green Soda says at 7:11 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Nixon, Laugh In.

  35. One Yield Regular says at 7:14 pm, March 17th, 2009

    prime ministress: Too late for me, but l can at least second your advice, for those reasons plus the fact that she drones on and on and on as though wandering through the desert in search of an ever-elusive important point.

  36. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 7:21 pm, March 17th, 2009

    I will not click through. I’ve never heard of this cunt (and cunt she must be since my beloved Wonkette is giving her the David Denby whatfor), nor do I wish to read what stupid shit she must be saying.

  37. Barry could blow Leno on his desk in front of the studio audience, and he would still have done less to diminish the office of the Presidency than George W. Bush.

    I’m just sayin’.

  38. Acting as a click-thru proxy:

    TELEPROMPTERZ

    COMMIE LENO IS NO AMERICAN. LENO DON’T EVEN HAZ TRUCKNUTZ. ED MCMAHON IS AMERICAN. HE KNOWS YOU SHULD BUY ALL THE GOLD. AMERICANS DON’T USE TELEPROMPTERZ. OBAMA WANTS YOU TO BUY ACORNS. REZKO SOLD THE MUSLIN THAT TELEPROMPTERZ. INVESTIGATIONZ OF ACORN TELEPROMPTERZ NOW.

  39. Madeline says at 7:30 pm, March 17th, 2009

    I think Ashley Cary is the cuter twin.

  40. smashtheduck says at 7:33 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Please tell me this is one of us and therefore a joke….please????:
    “I’m not comfortable with Obama being interviewed on a prestigious show like Leno.
    Maybe if he was the band leader in the background, you know, the one who makes quips that aren’t funny and laughs extra hard at the host’s jokes. That is where this inadequate “President” belongs.”

  41. smashtheduck says at 7:34 pm, March 17th, 2009

    bago: I’ve decided this whole “all-caps” thing is much more funner than punkchoayshun.

  42. comradepaulson says at 7:36 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Green Soda: Wait, we get to sock it to Barry, then? I bet he looks good doused in water.

  43. wheelie says at 7:38 pm, March 17th, 2009

    smashtheduck: Guilty!

  44. smashtheduck says at 7:39 pm, March 17th, 2009

    wheelie: Oh christ you had me worried. WIN

  45. Custerwolf says at 7:56 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Madeline: They both look like exoskeletons.

  46. dougbob says at 8:22 pm, March 17th, 2009

    BREAKING NEWS….WorldNetDaily has exclusive proof that Obama is using the restrooms at the White House. What’s up with that? I mean, Bush was there for 8 years and held it. Doesn’t Barry want to be as full of crapola as good ol’ #43?

  47. proudgrampa says at 8:25 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Green Soda: Sock It to Me?

  48. proudgrampa says at 8:26 pm, March 17th, 2009

    comradepaulson: Missed your reply: thot Green Soda and I were the only ones who remembered that bit…

  49. Tommy Says Soooo says at 8:43 pm, March 17th, 2009

    I’d hit it if SKS was ovulating.

  50. QuestionEvil says at 10:42 pm, March 17th, 2009

    She is right. Bush would have known how to maintain his “dignity” as president and appear on Jay’s show while still showing how much superior and above us he was.

    I’m thinking a flyover in Air Force One while he looks out the window upon the little people below in LA. Hey it worked for Katrina, why not Leno.

  51. shortsshortsshorts says at 11:31 pm, March 17th, 2009

    Tommy Says Soooo: If we kill enough babies and stuffs, than we can grow enough stem-cells and ALL OVULATE. That would be pretty awesome, because if I grew breasts, well that would be nice. In addition, it seems that when a guy doesn’t fuck-up and do the minute-man thing, the woman gets to enjoy it even more than the primordial beast standing over her, humping under her, or sometimes performing behind her. In those hypothetical situations the woman gets better hump for her dollar. However, even the male of the species can enjoy the same satisfaction, as an entire heterosexual race of hermaphrodites. Ir a homosexual race of heteromites, er a hermaheterohomosecudite race of Paultards.

    When will Barack Obama denounce and reject this?

  52. smashtheduck says at 12:56 am, March 18th, 2009

    For the record, this was not mine. Truly inspiring though.:
    “FIRST THEY TELEPROMPTED DEBATES AN I DIDNOT TELEPROMPZ THEN THEY TELEPROMPT THE NOOZ AN I DIDNOT TELEPROMPZ THEN THE SPORTCENTER AN I DIDNOT TELEPROMPZ THEN THE INFOMERSHUL AN I DIDNOT TELEPROMPZ THEN THEY TELEPROMPZZ KENYA AN I NOT TELEPROMPZ THEN THEY TELEPROMPZ HAWAII BIRTH REGISTRY AN I NOT TELEPROMPZ THEN THEY TELEPROPMZ THE BRIEFING ROOM AN I DID NOT TELEPRMPZ THEN THEY TELEPROMZ ME AN I NOT TELEPROMZ SO GUD ENNYMORE ALSO TELEPROMPTERZ”

  53. Dorje Chenmo says at 1:00 am, March 18th, 2009

    Mort Zuckerman is a genius - but his magazine is almost full right wing echo chamber retard. I wish he’d hire some honest intelligent people instead of presentable propagandists.

  54. smashtheduck: please someone takecredit for this one. It’s either from over here or someone at Rumproast.

  55. I just re-read the revised comments. So much better. Thanks team, gold stars for all!

  56. Where was this chick when W was declarin’ wars on false premises? Seems to me *that* diminishes the ol’ presidency. Also, maybe the presidency should be diminished a bit, yes?

  57. AngryAtheist says at 11:42 am, March 18th, 2009

    Why is that that each new day on the intertubes brings with it yet another person I want to slap the crap out of?

    Mary Kate Cary needs to get her panties out of a knot. Skipping the Gridiron Club dinner for a Leno makes me respect the Prez even more.

    Better to spend time with a guy who knows he’s a comedian than with a group of retards who won’t admit they’re all ass clowns.

  58. Captain Swing says at 2:50 am, March 19th, 2009

    Ah yes, the dignity of High Office.OK, so President Obama is thoughtful, intelligent and articulate. But, as Mary Kate knows, it’s just not enough, is it? In order to bring a suitable tone to the Office, one has to have breeding. Only then can one display the qualities that truly make a nation proud.

    Allow me to illustrate with a modest example from the vast George W Bush Archive:

    The scene: An official dinner. The President of the United States of America requests a meeting with the Prime Minister of Great Britain- “Yo, Blair!”

    Perhaps thinking for a moment that he was back home, summoning the waiter at the local Lone Star Steak House & Saloon, and that the British P.M. was the slacker who forgot to bring the Tabasco sauce… Now that’s how you bring dignity to High Office.

    (Sigh…) Those were the days, eh Mary.
