KILL YOUR TEEVEE

With Your Host, Ba-a-a-rack Oooo-bam-a!


Here’s some “teaser” video of your boyfriend Barack Obama on Conan O’Brien’s new teevee talk show, The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. Did you watch this Leno guy? WHY?

Explain yourself, etc., and how about that show-off Barack Obama on the teevee all day. Honestly, your editor was in some shitty Mexican cafe on Highway 138 on Thursday afternoon, and this OBAMA guy is on the live teevee, which is supposed to be showing Telemundo sexytime or something, right? Instead, Obama’s leading a Toastmasters luncheon in Burbank or something. WHERE IS HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE/TELEPROMPTERS. [TeeVee]

    He also made a joke about retards, which will dominate the “New Media” tomorrow since it’s stupid and pointless. So look for that.

  2. mayor_quimby says at 12:42 am, March 20th, 2009

    How many minutes until Hopey the First gets flack for that Special Olympics bowling comment he mumbled.
    Jay one-upped him with the Water-Head dog comment, retard dogs trump retard kids any time. Dog owners are sensitive.
    (Frist)

    I’m ‘tarded, and I didn’t have a problem with it.

  4. Ken Layne says at 12:50 am, March 20th, 2009

    He made a retard joke? Wow. I WANT MY 50 DOLLARS BACK FOR THOSE DNC-OBAMA SHIRTS as I work for a seriously retarded operation here, and am going to be offended once I hear about all this.

  5. Snarxon's Holler says at 12:53 am, March 20th, 2009

    If the Special Olympics had a comic division, Barry should play there.

    WAAAY TOO MUCH WONKY-TALK!!!

    So. Not. Infotaining.

  6. SayItWithWookies says at 12:54 am, March 20th, 2009

    You fuck one goat…

  7. AWOcoholic: Looks like Jake Tapper couldn’t wait until tomorrow: http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2009/03/president-ob-15.html.

  8. Barry is not PC with respect to one thing and one thing only: intelligence. He’s a good person, but it’s kind of obvious that he values a person pretty much in direct proportion to their smarts. He was obviously raised to venerate intellect, and he’s honest enough to have some trouble concealing the fact that he doesn’t value retards about, oh, 3/5th of a person or so.

  9. Making jokes about being like the Special Olympics? He must be retarded!

  10. AxmxZ: *about = above. As in, I’m about but not above .85 at best on Obama’s private ‘intrinsic worth’ scale.

  11. WestEdEd says at 1:02 am, March 20th, 2009

    You should give him some slack on the Special Olympic cracks.

    He has to deal with Limbaugh and Glen Beck fans all day every day, so retards are much on his mind.

  12. comradepaulson says at 1:10 am, March 20th, 2009

    How dare Barry makes jokes about Bush like that!

  13. DoktorZoom says at 1:11 am, March 20th, 2009

    I’m kinda looking forward to watching Rush Limbaugh castigate Obama for being so insensitive…the cognitive dissonance might trigger a stroke.

  14. OReillysVibrator says at 1:13 am, March 20th, 2009

    WestEdEd: Who ironically are probably only good at bowling.

  15. htnacaleoc says at 1:13 am, March 20th, 2009

    I’ll be offended when brown-haired guy who’s not Steve Doocy tells me to be offended, and not a moment sooner.

  16. dickmalone says at 1:28 am, March 20th, 2009

    He should’ve used the Weird Al trick and made fun of the Amish. How’re they gonna know? They don’t watch TV!

  17. grevillea says at 1:28 am, March 20th, 2009

    Was the retard-bowling crack a simultaneous dig at Hillary AND Snowbilly? Awesome!

  18. jennylouwho says at 1:34 am, March 20th, 2009

    My news was ALL OVER IT since we hosted the retard ‘lympics. Bet his camp had a collective pants shitting over that though.

  19. cranky says at 1:37 am, March 20th, 2009

    davesnothere: it’s ok, dave’s no there, we like you just as you are!

  20. gurukalehuru says at 1:39 am, March 20th, 2009

    What? No liveblog?! Fucking slackers.

  21. assistant/atlas says at 1:42 am, March 20th, 2009

    This video? Savannah Guthrie?

    I approve.

    She is my new girlfriend.

    Also.

    She is now pregnant.

  22. Hooray For Anything says at 1:44 am, March 20th, 2009

    AWOcoholic: Look on the bright side, we’ll no longer have to hear about AIG Bonuses tomorrow.

  23. amy amnesia says at 1:53 am, March 20th, 2009

    Artie: Those commenters CANNOT get over the fact that some people, in public office, sometimes have to give speeches that are too long and written too quickly to memorize, and have to look somewhere to remind them what comes next, and since we have technology, these reminders sometimes come in the form of a teleprompter.

    I mean, absolutely CANNOT UNDERSTAND IT.

    Also many of them are racist. Surprise!

  24. chascates says at 1:58 am, March 20th, 2009

    Like his remark about ‘lipstick on a pig’ this will be fodder for about 3 days. Then it’s back to the Socialism!

  25. Jonny Lieberman says at 1:58 am, March 20th, 2009

    This ABC site is fucking comedy gold people. DUMBER than AOL!!

    “president obama, his wife michele and his daughters should immediately stop this disgraceful and shameful discussion about a dog to get for the white house. just get the dog and never discuss it at press conferences nor on 60 minutes or on the media ever again. it reflects their mental focus on something that is not dignified for a president nor his family. if this president ever hopes to get my support and vote for re-election the disgraceful public discussion of a dog as a pet should stop immediately for his entire term of office.”

    and that’s an iceberg tip

    “This is going to be a catastrophic 4 years. In just 60 days, Obama has told America to go “Green” and conserve. Yet he cranks up the White House thermostat to Hawaii temps.”

    Fuck — gold mine!!!

  26. chascates says at 2:03 am, March 20th, 2009

    Googling ’special olympics’, Leno, and Obama I got 15,700 hits. And Michele Malkin is outraged.

  27. SemiCharmedQuark says at 2:10 am, March 20th, 2009

    chascates: Michelle “ain’t nothin’ wrong with internment camps” Malkin?

  28. SpecialHorse says at 2:19 am, March 20th, 2009

    Fuckin’ secret Muslin.

  29. grevillea says at 2:24 am, March 20th, 2009

    chascates: Yeah, she don’t like the retard jokes. I made one about Sarah Palin and Triggles when I had an ID for her site, and her banhammer squashed me flat in less than a minute!

  30. Hooray For Anything says at 2:28 am, March 20th, 2009

    chascates: Of course she is- Obama just insulted most of her readership

  31. SayItWithWookies says at 2:38 am, March 20th, 2009

    Hooray For Anything: Which, thanks to the javelin throw, gets smaller every year.

    Oh, and President Obama is not some sort of special interest hypocrite.

  32. 102415 says at 2:49 am, March 20th, 2009

    McCain tried that full retard thing and it was a Fail. Still, up in backass NY it just might work for next weeks election.

  33. hobospacejungle says at 4:32 am, March 20th, 2009

    Artie: Well, I didn’t really need another reason to hate Jake Tapper, White House stenographer, but thanks anyway Jake. We can always count on you to get out in front on the really important stories emanating from the White House. You beat Politicunt and won the morning! This will teach Hopey to disrespect Big Jake during White House press conferences.

    If anyone deserves a solid cockpunch today it’s Jake. Wish I could persuade my wife to move to DC so I can be a professional cockpuncher. Post all my cockpunches on YouTube. I’ll be an internet star! Way bigger than Choc-o-late Rain guy. I’ll be worth theoretical millions!

  34. Atheist Nun says at 5:08 am, March 20th, 2009

    What’s the big deal? America loves its retards. Hell, we even had one in the White House for 8 years! (rimshot)

  35. coffeeyesplease says at 6:25 am, March 20th, 2009
  36. Canuckledragger says at 8:02 am, March 20th, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: You stopped at one???? Wow, I admire your restraint. But you realize that now you can never be a Republican, right?

  37. MARCdMan says at 8:51 am, March 20th, 2009

    hobospacejungle: And thus was born “Ow, my balls!”

  38. AWOcoholic: Nice call - Drudge and Fox News are running with it.

  39. Roger the Shrubber says at 9:04 am, March 20th, 2009

    What did Obama know about the Special Olympics, and when did he know it?

    SayItWithWookies: AIG throws money at both candidates in election years, with the bulk going to the ultimate winner.

  40. Roger the Shrubber: Keep in mind the Repubs keep showing the AIG contributions for 2008 only. Of course, no one was donating to Repiblicans in 2008 cycle - everyone knww they were going to be creamed, so the donations flowed to the prospective winners. If you back up to earlier election cycles, the AIG money tilts to the Republicans…

  41. Retards? What does ex-pres. Bush have to do with this?

  42. Roger the Shrubber says at 9:21 am, March 20th, 2009

    ph7: About 60/40. They really must’ve gnashed their teeth over the 40.

  43. Also, being on the Teevee with Jay Leno is like bowling in the Special Olympics. Even though you get to show your big, beautiful balls, you still look retarded.

  44. dsdrane says at 9:34 am, March 20th, 2009

    Free Joe Biden!

  45. Roger the Shrubber says at 9:36 am, March 20th, 2009
  46. digibal235 says at 9:43 am, March 20th, 2009

    Overall no harm done. All the voting retards live in red states anyway.

  47. dsdrane: You win a pony.

  48. americanscandoanything says at 11:09 am, March 20th, 2009

    nowhere near as good as Nixon on “Laugh In’

  49. sarcasticusername says at 12:15 pm, March 20th, 2009

    wow savannah, that AIG scandal sure sounds scandalous, i should probably be more scandalized.

  50. AngelaB says at 9:19 pm, March 20th, 2009

    Excuse me, I’m off to find every comment by a Republican who has called Obama retarded in any sort of blog or forum during the past 2 years during the campaign. I’ve heard it many times.

    Be right back, this should take awhile.

    Than I will screen cap it and use it for blackmail.
