Bee Attack!

The two scariest bees in the world.Oh noes yesterday while you were all shopping for your Seder dinner, a vicious swarm of honeybees set up shop outside the White House. They devoured six head of cattle and David Plouffe before somebody moved them to some other spot. EXCITEMENT! [Political Ticker]

  1. IT’S AN OMEN!!!!!11!!!

    But wait..don’t we have a honeybee shortage crisis?

    IT’S A GOOD OMEN!!!11!!!!

  2. Also, I could’ve lived my life quite happily without ever having seen that picture.

  3. White House carpenter Charlie Brandts, who is also a beekeeper and will be managing two bee hives in Michelle Obama’s garden, came over to the area around shortly before 2 pm wearing protective gear and carrying a cardboard box. Brandts was reportedly able to get the queen bee in the cardboard box and many, though not all, of the other bees followed.

    OBAMA IS THE BEE MASTER! (and the Right has hives.)

    …probably AFRICANIZED!

    Pedro the Bumblebee Man was unavailable for comment.

  6. I think the guy on the left has a much more attractive mullet. If you’re going to get one, you might as well really fluff up that hair in the back.

  7. TGY: What’s so offensive to your virgin eyes about “Jumpin” Jim Brunzell and B. Brian Blair? They were pretty neat back in the day.

  8. user-of-owls says at 11:25 am, April 10th, 2009

    What the media is hiding from you is the fact that THE BEES WERE INVITED! FOR SEDER! Goddamn zionist bees!1

  9. Monsieur Grumpe says at 11:27 am, April 10th, 2009

    Were they socialist bees?

  10. wheelie says at 11:27 am, April 10th, 2009

    Makes a change after 200 years of WASPS.

  11. B. Brian Bliar and “Junpin’” Jim Brunzell…THE KILLER BEES

    Nice work.

    i always said that the first lady was Queen B

  13. I read this quickly and thought it said Ben Affleck!

    ohhh dyslexia!

  14. Come here a minute says at 11:28 am, April 10th, 2009

    TGY: Have you ever seen “carpenter” “Charlie Brandts” in the same room with President Obama? I didn’t think so!

    Could He be a Jewish Carpenter? HMMMMMM?

    Godot: …please, lets not descend into wrestling nostalgia! Because I have been itching to post a “Jimmy SupaFly Snuka” reference since I first signed up!

  16. V572625694 says at 11:30 am, April 10th, 2009

    wheelie: Nice! You racist. Ha ha…

  17. Norbert says at 11:31 am, April 10th, 2009

    wheelie: bravo

  18. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:37 am, April 10th, 2009

    …and if there was any doubt that “wrestling” is the most homo-erotic thing on cable t.v., please refer to the above photo!

    I am thinking that the picture used for this post is a harbinger of what we will be seeing at the Fox News Tea-Bagging Parties (TM) on the 15th.

  20. Scandinavian Fetus says at 11:42 am, April 10th, 2009

    Siamese twins…joined at the pollen basket.

    If these were the last two men left on earth, I’d go gay.

    AngryBlakGuy: HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN FTW!!1!!1!

  23. ah pook says at 11:50 am, April 10th, 2009

    They should just send in the Iron Sheik and Nickolai Volkoff to deal with these killer bees.

  24. magic titty says at 11:53 am, April 10th, 2009

    Barack Obama is Candyman.

  25. It’s a shame they removed the bees before the network talking heads had to do their stand-ups. I just would have loved to see Major Garret slowly enveloped by bees as he’s recapping the day and the anchor back in the studio wondering if those are socialist bees that are currently stinging Garret’s lifeless corpse. Maybe next week.

    He just moved them instead of, say, calling in an airstrike? Great — if a swarm of locusts appears, it’s because the insect world perceives us as weak.

  27. Yay! Socialist honey for all!

  28. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 12:02 pm, April 10th, 2009

    wheelie: FTW.

    Also, SKS, nice try, but this pic will never replace the hideous, full-on horror that is Carrot Top.

  29. I always liked “the managers” - Classie Freddie Blassie, the Grand Wizard and Cindy Laupers buddy, Captain Lou Albano. Of course the Valiant Brothers (Hansome Jimmy and Lucious Johnny) were tasty also.

  30. magic titty: no doubt.

  31. magic titty:

    Wasn’t Sammy Davis Jr. also known as the “Candyman”?

    wheelie: Kennedy notwithstanding.

  34. sevenrepeat says at 12:12 pm, April 10th, 2009

    i have those same shorts.

  35. Editor SK Smith says at 12:14 pm, April 10th, 2009

    queeraselvis v 2.0: Ha ha I will have you know that was MY IDEA when Ken asked for suggestions for images that telegraphed “unfunny comic failure.” You’re welcome.

  36. space stout says at 12:22 pm, April 10th, 2009

    AngryBlakGuy: Me too- ‘cept I wanna somehow work in Special Delivery Jones…

  37. ProfessorJukes says at 12:23 pm, April 10th, 2009

    Those two guys in the pic - were they in Stryper? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stryper

    Or did they just buy the underoos? http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/9310/strypersz8.jpg

  38. Kinbote says at 12:23 pm, April 10th, 2009

    Swarming bees? Meh. I don’t click for anything less than Joe Lieberman staked to an anthill.

  39. AngryBlakGuy says at 12:41 pm, April 10th, 2009

    Dave J.: space stout: …dont make me go all Ted Dibiassi on your asses!!!

  40. Lazy Media says at 12:41 pm, April 10th, 2009

    Monsieur Grumpe: Don’t be ridiculous. Bees are the original believers in the absolute supremacy of the monarch. And Obama’s minions put them in their place. In your FACE, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland!

  41. smashtheduck says at 12:43 pm, April 10th, 2009

    Thank you. Finally an image horrifying enough to erase the last atrocity you fuckers seared into my brain.

  42. arclight says at 12:48 pm, April 10th, 2009

    I wonder exactly how the bees are related to the teabagging and the Capitol getting evacuated the other day. Also, are those extremely racist africanized bees involved in this?

  43. AngryBlakGuy: Snuka was great back in the day, but he and Roddy Piper were just embarrassing at Wrestlemania 25 last week.

    Ricky Steamboat, on the other hand, has still got it!

  44. Bearbloke says at 2:07 pm, April 10th, 2009

    Dave J.: no, no - Rick Steiner, about 20 yrs ago…. don’t get me started…

  45. SocialistMuslin says at 2:14 pm, April 10th, 2009

    Re: alt-text

    I though Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham were the scariest bees in the world.

  46. swarm of bees says at 2:32 pm, April 10th, 2009

    HOLY SHIT! WHERE HAVE I BEEN??!! Attacking the White House, that’s what. By the way, you guys stole my fucking avatar. It’s cool, I’ll let you borrow it, but I want credit for using it first. For real.

  47. S.Luggo says at 2:55 pm, April 10th, 2009

    They flew out of Jim Bunning ass. He’s much calmer now.

  48. Uncle Glenny says at 3:06 pm, April 10th, 2009

    Bearbloke: Yum

  49. Uncle Glenny says at 3:08 pm, April 10th, 2009

    ProfessorJukes: OK, this is weird: that Stryper pic references Isaiah 53:5:

    But he was pierced for our transgressions,
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
    the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
    and by his wounds we are healed.

    That seems positively… republican… associated with boys’ underwear.

    No silly, those are Killer B’s!

  51. Itsjustme says at 3:53 pm, April 10th, 2009

    Texan Bulldoggette: Chances are, they are both dead from some steroid incident.

  52. HuddledMass says at 6:57 pm, April 10th, 2009

    Okay, I consider myself a loyal Wonketteer, but the depth of knowledge of professional wrestling above is just TERRIFYING. You people are EFFED UP. That is all.

  53. First racoons, then possums, now bees… Obama is sending out some sort of a Cinder(f)ella homing signal to wildlife.
