Wonkette
Look at the nice picture of the Obama family, with friends and assorted Jews, celebrating the second night of Passover! Passover, of course, is the Mexican holiday in which the Easter Bunny flew over a village and decided not to kill anyone who had smeared the blood of a virgin on their doorstep. Modern Jews celebrate the occasion by choking down a few bites of pike mousse and reading from a coffee pamphlet. TRUE STORY. [White House blog]
teh jews? They’re like teh gays, right?
Secret Luo tribesman? More like Jew-o tribesman! Hey-o!
Does Elijah have to be cleared ahead of time?
“WHO…are all the PIRATES?”
Gefilte? I barely even knew her.
PS Nice rackage in front of the fireplace, but arms are a little hammy. I’d hit it for a reverse shiksa thang.
But how deep die he bow to Benjamin Netanyahu, or was he picking something up off the floor, or is Netanyahu really tiny. Or maybe he served Hawaiian pizza or something.
Protocol-assholes must know.
All of my knowledge of the Exodus comes from 80’s pop songs:

Biden’s not at the table. That’s probably good.
Is there some kind of symbolism I should be aware of with that suitcase next to the table?
those chairs are fugly
are they drinking at lunch? What is this, Mad Men?
Perhaps Barry presented each guest with a kosher iPod.
Mmmmmmm…. Pike and moose, both? I, I can’t make up my mind. May I have a little of each?
Is that elitist Desirée Rogers sitting with a pillow?? What, the hard wooden chairs are too country for your elitist lower back?! Wait..that might be Grandma Robinson. And WHO is that girl sitting next to Reggie Love? I want some Reggie Love if you know what I mean! And I think you do.
(And no, I did not download the high res picture and zoom in and scrutinize it’s minor details for a few minutes)
Sigh.
He’s my favorite honorary Jew! He’s my favorite commie muslin! He’s my favorite Jew AND muslin! ALSO!!!!
Do you know what kind of tablecloth that is?
MUSLIN.
Tommy Says Soooo, Jugdish!:
The Matzo is hidden in her cleavage.
Somewhere in Malibu, a Mel Gibson rages in anger over this news.
TGY: Kosher iPod? Won’t play Rock Lobster?
(sorry)
Barry is asking which of his guests were first born. The Angel of Death (Cheney) will come visit their homes later.
shortsshortsshorts: It’s Good Friday so he’s probably watching The Passion and whipping himself.
cranky: Yeah, they put the rather delicate and valuable Chippendale chairs in storage for this event. Can’t risk having one of those wonderful pieces get crushed under the weight of a miserable, fat, disgusting Jew.
(Whew! My repressed Catholicism is really flaring up today. Happens every Good Friday.)
I’m not a jew, so I’m no authority, but it seems to me like noone is reclining in this picture. For my money, (of course excepting the 4 half-glasses of wine) that’s the best part of a seder - reclining.
Isn’t the meal supposed to take place after sundown? Or is that past Sasha & Malia’s bedtime.
NoWireHangers: Well, yeah, I downloaded it. I blame Custerwolf.
NoWireHangers: And with every stroke he screams “Sugartits! Sugartits!”
Now here’s the kind of pandering I like. The supporting Israel no matter who it elects and whatever crazy shit it pulls in Gaza kind of pandering, not so much.
Finally, a succinct description of the meaning of Passover that a former catlick can understand. Now, can you please unravel the mystery of The Transubstantiation and The Virgin Birth?
Thank you SKS!!11!1!!!
I hope Barry is not stinting on the Mogen David!
NoWireHangers: Desiree got to sit next to Reggie (le sigh) and Granny needs the lumbar support. But to Louise Brooks over there trying to emulate Michelle’s sleeveless style - UR DOIN IT RONG.
My good Jewish friend summed up all Jewish holidays for me:
“They tried to kill us, we won, let’s eat.”
Since Hopey is charged with not being able to get protocol correct, I wonder if Jeff Dunham and his “Achmed the Dead Terrorist” were the entertainment. “I kill you … boom!”

I downloaded the hi-res pic and I still can’t find the TeLepRomPteRz in it! Where are they?
That Hopey is SO slick. He just had this dinner so the Jews would stay at the office and work on the economy. He didn’t want them going home for the whole weekend. HE can be flitting all over the world, bowing and scraping and touching Carla Bruni, but the WORKERS … I had a boss just like that once …
Bruno: He’s a doctor. They all are.
AfghanVet: The version I got was, “They tried to kill us, and here we are and you’re going to be successful where the goyim weren’t, what, you couldn’t find a nice Jewish girl? Eh, eat, if you can live with yourself.”
My god - that photo looks an awful lot like Grant Wood’s “Dinner With Threshers.” Is Iowa not only gay now, but Jewish as well??

NoWireHangers: As another who didn’t download the 2.19 megabyte high res image, it is an oddly dressed group. Many of the men aren’t wearing ties, the cleavage-y woman wears a LBD and evening-type accessories and, if one looks closely, Barry looks a bit faced.
Nice product placement for Maxwell House with their name on the cover of the book with all the “a Rabbi, a Muslin and a hot First Lady walk into a bar” jokes.
@ChernobylSoup: or cheeseburger in paradise.
They only had one pillow? Is the WH run by teh airlines?
ChernobylSoup: Pulling Mussles From a Shell
NoWireHangers: they all have pillows. i’m pretty sure it was because it would be too disgusting to have your special place that close to those disgusting, gold spray=painted, fucked up tacky-ass chairs.
it’s the white house man, not my house! your chairs should not match my tablecloth, ever.
i totally went high res and wondered the same thing, who’s poaching reggie?
Tommy Says Soooo, Jugdish!: the guy sitting next to her seems to agree!
Every plate has a little chunk of Jesus flesh. It’s a Catholic thing, I think. Firstest they’s kilt Him, thenest they’s a et Him. Etcetera…
Why does barry get such a tiny menu? Cause all they is is Jesus, for befores durings and afters.
I’m sure Michelle, high priestess of fashion and kick-ass mom, is thrilled that her young daughters have to stare at what looks like a high-class hooker all through dinner.
Wasn’t there a Hebrew warrior named Barack or Barak in the Bible? Just sayin’.
One Yield Regular: Thank you. This is why I read Wonkette — for the culture (and the all-year-around Iowa coverage).
From The White House, this is the Guest List for the 2009 White House Passover Seder, and all of these guests were seated at folding card tables in the adjacent Green Room:
Jerry Seinfeld and wife, Steven Spielberg and wife, David Geffen, Jeffrey Katzenberg and wife, Carl Reinter, Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, Buddy Hackett, Mort Sahl, Woody Allen, Tony Curtis, James Caan, Sarah Silverman, Selma Blair, Paula Abdul, Gene Simmons, Anthony Kiedis, David Lee Roth, Bob Dylan, Adam Sandler and Lenny Kravitz.
The real scandal is that they have a picture of a young Queen Elizabeth looking over them. Looks like Lyndon LaRouche was right.
shortsshortsshorts: NoWireHangers: Gallowglass: et al.
Ah thank you, thank you. I’m happy to see that all of you.were affected by The Passion like I was. Now, we all know why we’re here, and I believe we all what needs to be done.
But, I think it’s best we don’t talk out loud about it until we have most of them on the trains heading to the camps.
Thank you, thank you very much. Now, in order to do what we all know needs to be done, we are first going to need more support. I think we should all go out and take at least one other person to see The Passion.
Yes, and then we can begin the cleansing, if you know what I mean.
And as we march for The Pasion we should also voice our support! So, when I say “Es ist Zeit für Säuberung,” you all chant back “Wir müssen die Juden ausrotten.”
Lionel Hutz Esq.: Cartman, is that you?
Aw, they’re using the Authorized Maxwell House version, which means they really ARE Jewish. Who knew?
Oy, to be a fly on that wall.
Israel-first, dual-national, AIPAC paid?
Lascauxcaveman: Speaking of religious animosity and all… I got a calendar from the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception (…whew… try saying THAT 3 times fast while being diddled by a priest!) and every single page of the damn thing is “Mary this” and “Virgin that” and “Regina Caeli over here”… hmmm… they ain’t got too much to say about Jeebus, those Catholics… maybe that’s why they’re called “Mary-worshipers” by folks who (unlike me) give a damn about all that airy-fairy mumbo-jumbo hocus-pocus…
Damn, you Obama! Now I have to change my name to SocialistJoo!
Isn’t it obvious? He’s one of those African Ethiopian Jews like Whoopi Goldberg & Sammy David Jr.
cranky: Yes, crappy white house furnishings. To be comfortable some even need an extra pillow to go on their chair.
the painting above the fireplace, J.S. Sargent? my god it’s beautiful! the satin is rendered like butter, or some other smooth creamy substance like butter or satin or something. who does it portray? anyone?? the guy was such a master but considered too “facile” by some. i love his work so much that if he was alive today i’d suck him. (provided he promised not to tell my wife and children.) i’d wash his brushes and stretch his canvases (canvi?) (if he promised not to tell my collectors) I LOVE JOHN SINGER SARGENT. there i said it.
That Woman-with-the-20s-Style-Bob’s decolletage is tres inappropriate for the Whitehouse.
