Wonkette
Over Easter weekend while the rest of America was busy gaining 10 pounds eating ham and Peeps, President Obama occupied himself authorizing military action that left three Somali pirates dead and one kidnapped American captain alive. This feat of daring means that nobody can call Obama a pussy anymore.
A dumb liberal bleeding heart like Bill Clinton would have done the same thing as Obama, but somehow the Somalis would have been able to conquer an entire fleet of naval destroyers and murder a dozen Navy Seals, making Clinton look like an asshole.
And a wretched brainless warmonger like George W. Bush would have ordered the Navy to nuke the 18-foot lifeboat where the American captain was being held, just to show the pirates he was crazier than they were.
In sum, only a President Obama could have told the military to just make sure the captain didn’t die, and shoot if they had to. And in so doing, he has effectively ended all wars and conflicts around the world, because really who wants to mess with the US military when they don’t have a complete dingus as Commander in Chief anymore?
An Early Military Victory for Obama [Washington Post]
Actually I think Bush might’ve nuked Denmark and hired Halliburton to build military bases in Cincinnati.
Meh… If Obama really was god, he would’ve just levitated the captain out of the mess, then transported himself to Somalia to explain to the pirates how the US isn’t fighting Islam.
Is killing a pirate really killing?
i’ve never looked at W’s tactics like that — never bet against “crazy.” if only we could’ve given him more time!
F*** the reality of the situation. Do a lot of fawningly pro-Obama gloating over this rescue precisely because it deranges FOXNOOZ and the right wing neo-Confederate brigades.
Really, his skillful authorization of the use of three bullets puts him in the same league as Hannible, Napoleon and Robert E. Lee.
Roger the Shrubber: With a contract for Blackwater to take out some German polar bears.
Roger the Shrubber: Win.
Feh, there are 9 Pirates in Pittsburgh holding baseball fans hostage…you’d think Hopey would do something about it if he wants to win PA next time ’round.
McCain would have negotiated with the hostage takers for FIVE-AND-A-HALF-YEARS.
Roger the Shrubber: Nah, Bush would have let the lifeboat get away, bombed the shit out of Somalia, and then decided, You know what? We need to invade Ethiopia, too. THEN the Halliburton bases just wherever the fuck.
Hopey is no Aquaman but he’ll do.
Canmon (the Inadequate):
Nah, he would have gone there himself to personally shoot them with the MSM in tow while Meghan wrote a kid’s book for a $140 Quadrillion book contract.
for the love of GOD get the Carrot Top pic out!!!!!
Barry messed with the republicans again. They made it the most important mission ever. Obvious trap is obvious! It’s getting a bit sad.
OK, does anybody else feel it?
The creeping feeling that maybe, perhaps, there are people in DC that have a clue how stuff works?
That they maybe don’t look to add billions to themselves, but make moves for the benefi of the majority of the American people?
It’s just kind of weird.
Great Britain began losing its grip on the empire when it started calling the defeat of four poorly trained pirates in a lifeboat a “naval victory.”
Messiah? Naa. Barack is the new American CiC god, the only President in history who can wear 6 stars. BARACK ‘n ROLL, Daddy-O!
Watch out Limpballs and Sean Insanity you are about to meet your President!
Very “Fair & Balanced” Sara.
Happy Jesus went back to heaven so we can start sinning again day.
What people don’t realize is that Obama personally swam onto the lifeboat in his ninja costume, dispatched the pirates by flinging ninja bullets at them, and carried the captive to safety, all by himself. They had to fabricate this story about ‘Nave Seals’ because he’s just too modest.
…I was kinda hoping for a little “Swashbuckling” action!
It’s welcome news to see the proper use of military force. Bush and Cheney would’ve mobilized the Fifth and Sixth Fleets and the First Marine Division.
Tommy Says Soooo, Jugdish!:
Steelers fans? Definitely. Penguins fans? Sure. Pirates fans? *snicker*
The WaPo link is broken, because the HTML keyword HREF is misspelled.
Here is the link, for anyone who cares:

This is bullshit; if Obama was really serious about stopping piracy, he’d have Johnny Depp waterboarded.
EnBuenOra: you just need to go to Dailykos for that - you’ll find plenty of fawning and chest pumping. I was suffocating from all the testosterone that I hardly recognized it as a libtard gay site anymore, so I ran to wonkette so were is my snark.
bjkeefe: Thank you, but I prefer my opinions to be uninformed.
Leave it to Hopey to ruin the wingnut storyline…for the momment
and right before teabagz day too
Tommy Says Soooo, Jugdish!: Amen, Tommy.
Tommy Says Soooo, Jugdish!: Ha Ha
but didn’t those pirates pull off their own “triple play”
wonderboom: As Henry Kissinger supposedly said, it’s no good people thinking you’re crazy unless they also think you’re dangerous.
prototype: Maybe this will shut Newt the fuck up. No, it won’t. He would have killed the pirates with mo’ bettah moral clarity.
He just made a call to his cousin in Kenyastan to arrange a performance by the Mogadishu DoodleTime Community Theater Players (”I’ve always wanted to portray a pirate!”); they threw this little farce together in order to enhance his international prestige. WAKE AND BAKE UP!
The pirates appeared to be of the Black African persuasion which makes it okay for Real Americans to cheer their total and complete death. And thus, the United States is now happy. The End.
This is Barry’s form of Black-on-Black violence which is tearing the community apart. Their baby mommas will now have to be on Somali welfare and their kids will continue on into gang culture which of course is gateway into piracy on the high seas.
Dreamer: Yes, it is covered with Al Rodgers semenal sputum sanctorum. And Hopeyhand yanking. The entire Nation is now not lacking a single sharpened pencil.
Huh, right, sheeple, believe everything Obama and his fawning lackeys in the MSM tell you. Those pirates were ridiculously incompetent, and how do we KNOW they were Somali? Can you say Kenyan special ops false-flag kamikazes? Think about it!!1!!
So this means taking out the AK-47 wielding pirates did not require the use of F-22s flying at Mach 2 as that Fox pundit suggested? I was waiting for this to also turn into a rallying cry for the missle defense program.
ph7:
And let’s not forget that those pirates weren’t actually killed. Had the moonlight been shining on them at the time of the raid, we would’ve seen that they’re actually still missing a few pieces of Aztec gold.
The GOP’s new meme: Barry is wasting our tax dollars rescuing insignificant merchant captains. Teabaggers unite!
If Chimpy McFlightsuit was still president, he’d be strutting in front of the cameras
wearing a flak jacket and mumbling something about, “Mission Accomplished,
now on to Kenya”.
Obama is letting the Navy have the limelight, like he
should.
Aquannissiwamissoo:
Al jumps the shark every.single.time. The other diary about republicans betting against America for the lulz is more tolerable. They did and it’s pure comedy Obama will get more credit then he deserves because they made this whole thing a bigger issue then it really was.
WadISay: wait… are you saying bush was not both crazy AND dangerous?
Aquannissiwamissoo: Isn’t it sad. I usually go to dailykos for a dose of OMGZ, Obama is like Bush. OMGZ, he totally sold us out. I was hoping they will decry the senseless loss of life. And now Sara, WTF!
Check out Redstate. They’re saying a real President wouldn’t have let the captain rot for 3 days before taking action. It’s become better than the Onion.
Look at it this way: he’s kicked the most pirate ass since Jefferson.
Barry vs. pirates, Barry wins. Now we just have to see how he does against ninjas.
4tehlulz:
You could argue that he deserves waterboarding for that last Pirate’s of the Caribbean movie.
*Breaking* MSNBC is reporting that some Somalis are launching mortars at a US lawmaker touring the country.
However, I don’t see that on the wires anywhere else…so perhaps MSNBC is confused.
You know who this hurts the most (aside from the grieving pirate families, who are harrrrrtbroken)? The graphics artists at Fox who slaved all day Saturday on an exploding, animated “Crisis at Sea: When Will Obama Act?” counter. Stop exulting for a minute, and think about those graphics artists. They’re people, too.
Aaaaaarrrrgggghhhhh!!
Zadig: win
Does this finally put an end to “International Talk Like A Pirate Day”?
Dreamer:
You’ll occasionally find a wave of testosterone was through this blog, too. Generally, though, the guys here reserve it for lusting after women in politics who turn out to be fully bonkers. Katherine Harris, Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman, did I miss one? The female Wonketters have much better taste, as a general rule.
Dreamer:
I am kind of surprised by the lack of WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE PIRATES
hockeymom: I don’t think the two are connected. The lawmaker is in Moqdishu and the Pirates in Puntland area. The Moqdisho are is just crazy and they are probably aiming for the “Prime Minister”. There are always mortar and fighting and stuff. I don’t think they are connected.
Hopey kicks ass. The Freepers can suck it.
EnBuenOra: Neo-confederate! That’s just what I’ve been looking for! I’m going to popularize it like crazy! It explains so much.
All snark aside, I bet Obama’s not all that happy today. Dude’s never personally ordered someone killed before (THAT WE KNOW ABOUT, HENNNGGH?), and he’s sensitive enough to have some second thoughts about it.
Chimpy, on the other hand, would be giggling into his Captain Crunch after something like that, judging by how giddy he used to get about imposing the death penalty in Texas.
Terry: Hehehehe, the libtards still haven’t gotten over Stokely Carmichael’s dictum (hehehe) that the only position for women in the Movement is prone.
Male Wonketeers are far more enlightened since a woman must be upright to prepare the sammiches.
But what would Jimmy Carter have done? Probably would have involved helicopters in the desert.
AllHat: ManchuCandidate:
If Walnuts had won, I suspect a certain trigger happy VP would enjoy practicing her helecopter Polar Bear huntin’ on the evil black african socialist pirates.
The wingnuts are so sad because the nation knows that they wanted the captain to get killed. To use as talking points for republican candidates. No, they are not sad. they’re pathetic.
Zadig: Bush would have had a submarine surface right below the lifeboat killing the Japanese tourists, erm Somalis and then apologized to the pirates for crahsing an airplane flying over them.
Them pirates have been shit on by professionals.
Obama: “Make no mistake! I am The HNIC! That’s N-I-Double GRRRRR to you, punk-assed sea bitches!”
With Newt and the Redstate types, we again see the complete disregard for education and professional expertise. All trained hostage negotators and SWAT types will tell you to be patient, gather all the intell you can, work to build trust with the hostage takers, let the hostage takers get worn down, and wait for the right moment to strike if that is what becomes necessary. It seems the Arm Chair Admirals only wanted to rush in, blow some shit up, and screw the consequences for the Captain — I swear they WANTED a dead American they could hang on our dusky Kenyan leader.
It was a hostage situation. I’m a little surprised it required a presidential order to shoot, though I suppose I shouldn’t be. It’s the response a SWAT team would’ve made.
McDuff: Yeah, praying for failure as usual. Fuckers.
So, is “Sully” Sullenberger OK?
Oh. USAmerika has a new shiny?
Well alright, then.
Do carry on. And on. And on.
Come here a minute: Carter would have done the EXACT SAME THING, but the Seals’ rifles would have all simultaneously misfired and exploded, setting off a fire that threatened to sink the Bainbridge, until eventually the pirates were in control of the entire task force. Snakebit, our Jimmy, during his pres. days. I mean, who gets attacked by a rabbit?
Terry: I can deal with mindless lust. It is the American way.
prototype: I think all the elitist libtards s are on their cottages for the Easter holiday, so they don’t know yet about this.
He’s the bestest president ever.
I still like Limbaugh’s approach of blowing up the entire area, for LAFFS.
Terry: Haha, this blog is full of Bachmann hate-fuckers. Can’t see it, myself. Not even for money.
I don’t really feel any testosterone sloshing about these things. There’s always a price to be payed for violence, necessary as it seems sometimes. Though that price might be delayed, it’ll be payed by someone, sometime.
I reserve all my testosterone for fucking. Lover, not fighter, you know. It’s more fun and often less dangerous.
EnBuenOra: F*** the reality of the situation. Do a lot of fawningly pro-Obama gloating over this rescue precisely because it deranges FOXNOOZ and the right wing neo-Confederate brigades.
no joke. the crazies are po’d about this. but … then … they are crazy, so, well, of course.
McDuff: And don’t you just looooove it? The Foxtards were having a gay old time yelling about as how Obama was a big loser because he let the pirate stuff happen, which was incredibly stupid, and then Whammo! it’s taken care of! And the beautiful irony of it is that it was the Foxholes that brought it all to the forefront.
shortsshortsshorts: Is he volunteering to strap on a suicide belt for the good ol’ US of A? We could poetically set him adrift in a dinghy off the Somali coast. Or perhaps an inflatable duck.
ProfessorJukes: Us Pastafarians resent your abuse of our holy day.
Lazy Media: Say whatever you want about his policies, but (and it’s not quantifiable, exactly) it seems like Carter had the absolute shittiest luck for a president.
TEH SEALES SHUD HAV KAPTURED THEM AND TEABAGGED THEM GOOD ON THE TEEVEEF FOR TAX FEEDOM AND AS A STAYTEMENT AGINST ACORNS! 100 AMEROS EECH FOR TEH SEALES. TAX FREED!
Oh lord! I hate MSNBC and their ignorance. That idiot Contessa Brewer just said: The pirates has declared American their new enemy” WTF. Somalis are tribal, tribes avenge for their loser militia men not organizations, this aint Al-Qaida moron. Tribes in Muqdisho could careless – in fact they might cheer the Americans because they hate the pirates tribe.
EnBuenOra: Oh hell yeah. I want to ticket parades and posters with Obama with military regalia and camouflage.
And more Bo the dog. The wingnuts can’t fuckin stand that. Ask master adulterer Newt.
Terry: The straigt-male contingent of Wonkette is really hoping for Angelina Jolie to become a rightard wingnut like her dad, and enter politics, hopefully dressed up as a pirate. We actually thrive on this kind of self-loathing.
Lazy Media: All snark aside, I bet Obama’s not all that happy today. Dude’s never personally ordered someone killed before
Oh, horseshit. He knew the job was dangerous when he took it. He’s probably just relieved the mission went well and those those Navy seals didn’t make a Jimmy Carter out of him.
I spent some time at LGF over the weekend and the interest and worry over the pirate shit and old pussy Obama was immensely hilarious. It made Easter dinner with the family sweet indeed to laugh that Obama killed the pirates, freed the captain, went to church, rolled some eggs, gave his kids a doggy, renamed him Bo Diddley, managed to not brag about any of it and still look as relaxed as Perry Como and cool as Don Ho.LOOK IT UP11!!11 BAby sheeples.
Zadig: No “luck” involved.
Richard Helms as [CIA] “Ambassador” to Iran, hostage taking, [CIA] journalist Miles Copeland writing in the Moonie Times about the hostage rescure before it happened, Reagan collaborating with Iranians to delay hostage release, floating candidacy of ‘pink’ Repub John Anderson to bleed disaffected Teddy vote from Carter, etc.
Carter got ratfucked bigtime. It happens when a Prez decides to gut the ‘action faction’ of the Agency.
Where does “luck” figure into the equation?
/Dick joke.
Canuckledragger: Is this “action faction” the ones that loves them some Cheney? And killed JFK? And installed W? Just wondering.
Admiral: “We have a suitable contingency plan called BINGO LARD RATTLESNAKE in place. We can be ready to initiate within one week, as soon as a third carrier battle group is on station, sir.”
COMMANDER IN CHIEF OBAMA: Use Operation Chicago Southside instead. Shoot the bitches. Now don’t bother me anymore while I’m watching the Masters.
Lascauxcaveman: So Angelina in secksy pirate wear…. Mmmm
Oh and for the gayz some buccaneerz in ass-less knee britchez.
Lascauxcaveman: Are you boys all still hot for Angelina? She’s looking a bit stringy and bony these days, like a rawhide chewtoy. You know — that Ann Coulter look? Knees, clavicles, shoulderbones all jutting and covered with a thin layer of spotty parchment? Loose skin in folds where skin shouldn’t be loose, e.g. the armpits? Seriously? That’s still hot?
Eat your mashed potatoes, kids. Actresses in Hollywood are starving.
zenferret: Angelina from 15 years ago in secksy pirate wear, that I’ll give you. Angelina today? Somebody get that poor girl a pizza.
Oh, They shoot and killed actual for-real pirates. For a minute there I was afraid I was going to have to stop ripping music from the Interweb-tube-thingee.
wingnut crazies are calling for an invasion of somalia, john bolton is gathering a coalition of the willing as we speak. yay it looks like dick cheney is gearing up to play war again.
The Decider: Didja ask those guys over at Redstate where Osama bin Laden is, then? (I know … those folks are *staggering* in their possession of the most complete autographed set of matching double standards I’ve ever experienced.)
Prommie: Well, JFK did vow to “shatter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter the remnants to the wind,” and made some tepid moves in that direction. Didn’t happen. Coinkydink?
Carter did attempt to make good on JFK’s promise and got his ass upended by events traceable to CIA. Coinkydink?
Dubya was/is son of CIA DCI Bush I. Coinkydink?
But that fuckin’ Andropov runnin’ the Soviet Union?!?!?!11?1?! And that Putin guy today???!11?!/1!
They was both KGB! Boogitty Boogitty Boo!
i am having a great day! wearing the cutest smile while these assholes at work go on and on about how the CiC had nuthin to do with it. it wuz all the sealz!!!1!! They are cold freaking out!!
Yes we can, bitches!!!!
iolanthe: And Billy Bob says ya gotsta have some gravy with yer mashed potatoes or you’re Canuckistani:
http://www.cbc.ca/arts/media/story/2009/04/09/billy-bob.html
If’n Angelina don’t eat her spuds with gravy, Billy Bob’s gonna ask for his vial of blood back.
The consensus among the wingnuts I know is that this was not a military victory for the Hopester: the plans were created by the military and Hopey had no choice but to go along with them or incur the wrath of Real Americans. He can’t possibly take any credit for this, and by the way have you heard he’s a socialist-Kenyan-Indonesian-telepromptery Muslim.
I should really be allowed to drink at the office.
iolanthe: The lips don’t lie.
Canmon (the Inadequate): except for the part where he dies of old age halfway through year two.
sarcasticusername: you mean coalition of the bribed and blackmailed as CBC used to call it.
PerhapsSo: Except he’s the decider now, so that kind of shoots holes in that sort of spinning bullshit.
TGY: Actually, as I read the story, there already WAS a standing order that said if the captain was in danger, they were to act. Seems the admiral said as much. I’m not taking anything away from the president’s courage: he kicks ass.
no ….. W would have bombed I’madinnerjacket, blaming Iran for the proliferation of peg legs and eye-patches throughout the western world (even tho none were found — he meant to say: the INTENT to consider possibly the distribution of peg legs and eyepatches throughout the west), although his unfortunate bleat of ‘bring ‘em on’ would have resulted in fourteen brigades of pirates capturing three hundred and ninety us merchant ships over the ensuing six years - although he would have pointed out that the 2,000,037 crewman murdered and chopped into sharkbait considered it a privilege to die this way as their contribution to maritime law reform.
i saw the movie W last night, and all i want to do is punch that fucking idiot in the face, hard, and repeatedly. for all you sara jane moore’s out there, go familiarize yourself with google maps.
Mustang: He can’t possibly be successful in any way, as he’s a socialist-Kenyan-Indonesian-telepromptery Muslim.
They also keep noting that he is on a “very thin thread,” so he can’t screw up anything even slightly, because that will confirm all of their worst beliefs in him. One coworker actually said something about how “if he had restrained the military, he would have shown himself to be Jimmy Carter, like we all know he is.” I pointed out that given his positive polling numbers, he may have some room for error (terrorism-related error? oh, maybe not, but I was just throwing that out there to see what they said). The polls were promptly dismissed as either the work of the evil liberal media or evil liberals who answer their phones for polls while real Americans are out doing whatever it is they do.
I’m not saying that we should throw the President a ticker tape parade (the captain? the SEALS? yes, parade away), but can’t anyone just be happy about a positive outcome? Does it have to be “oh, look, he didn’t screw it up like we know he secretly wants to in his Muslimy heart”?
Again… oh, to have a drink.
iolanthe: Eloquent and accurate. Not that I complain, as it means far less competition for the sweet curvy little numbers. Sometimes insanity bends in my favor.
4tehlulz: “This is the day that you always remember as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sp…<>”
iolanthe: You’re right, Angelina is now officially an Old. But that’s an important element of the whole self-loathing thing that comes with lusting after the Harrises, Bachmans, Palins of the world. But in a pirate getup? Oh yeah.
proudgrampa: The thing Obama did right was the most important thing.
He said “do it when the time is right” they he shut the hell up.
Sara K. Smith the most brilliant analyst of national security issues ever and should have her pick of jobs at DoD, State or NSC.
As a supplier of peg legs, eye patches, parrots and bottles of rum…..I must maintain my neutrality.
Lascauxcaveman: Uhhh … Angelina Jolie is only 33. 33 is still a young woman.
I’m nearly twice as old as she is, and female. It’s not that she’s Too Old; she’s Too Thin for her frame.
Catch a non-photoshopped candid of her sometime. She looks like crap for 33.
I’m almost 60. I don’t have her lips or great hair or “fuck me” underlid look, but my skin, including decolletage, looks a shitload better … ’cause I bravely carried that extra 15 pounds all my adult life! ;->
Seriously, adult women are not *supposed* to be as thin as these actresses and “media personalities” are. It dries ‘em out so they look like a forgotten bag of jerky by their late 30s.
Then they get “work” … often, really really *bad* “work” … and that’s the end of the end.
I’m reminded of a line from an old Raymond Chandler book: “From thirty feet away, she looked like a whole lot of class; from five feet away she looked like something designed to be seen from thirty feet away.”
Conservatives didn’t even notice this nothing event, they have more important things to do…like tea bagging. One thing you can say about those guys they keep their eyes on the balls.
Exhibit B: Posh Beckham. Turns 35 this year. She looks like she’s living inside a plastic thorax-carapace like the one Dale Bozzio of Missing Persons wore in this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcnptUmDVQM
Hmmm … Dale from 1983 might make a good pirate.
But I bet Posh makes crinkling noises when she walks.
Lascauxcaveman:
Jolie is probably marginally more intelligent than Harris, Palin, or Bachman. I ain’t gonna touch the subject of a pirate outfit.
Personally, I lean more toward lusting after Patrick Fitzgerald. Love those Irish boys who are so straight laced on the surface.
That’s change that will kick your fucking ass.
WagTehGod:
GOP talking points:
1. Barry should have done it sooner.
2. Barry should have done it better.
3. Why was Barry hiding in the White House while all of this was happening?
4. Bailouts only encourage piracy.
4. Each of the muslim seadogs once worked for ACORN.
wait a second, i thought peeps were fat free?
Predictably, RedState sees things differently:
“In other words, today’s success was enabled not by Obama’s good efforts, but by his failure to tie the commander’s hands as tightly as he thought he had.”
http://www.redstate.com/redhot/2009/04/13/your-must-read-of-412-hooah-mac-on-the-philips-rescue-comments-enabled/
iolanthe: The less literary version of that Chandler quote: Pretty from far but far from pretty. Fourteen-year-olds can be so philosophical.
chascates: It’s started: http://www.pr-inside.com/thank-you-president-george-w-bush-r1179503.htm
Barry took out the evil Orc Warriors because he’s a LEVEL 80 NIGHT ELF DEATH KNIGHT, BITCHEZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!
chascates: Of course, everyone knows that Obama actually WANTED the hostage situation to turn into a complete clusterfuck.
“Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here. This is a war room.”
Fuck that. It’s about time the Socialist Gubament started using teleprompters to target the Johnny Depp’s of the world (post 21 Jump Street that is) instead of dickin around with 18 year-olds who understand binary code better than they do.
I like my shuffle board cheap and my lithium batteries delivered on time and without a “maritime tax”.
And that captain is so Suave. Also.
S.Luggo: George Bush is responsible for the Navy’s professionalism? Thank God they were able to show up and hit the right targets. God, the next 4 years is going to be a daily battle with such jackassery.
June Cleaver 2.0: Sad but true…
With the wingnuts in tight and undisputed control of every bit of 28% of the “adult” vote, how is it that anybody else listens to their paranoid, idiotic, ‘moranic’ bleatings? Takes our minds off the economy? They still can’t believe they’ve lost control, possibly for a generation? What?
chascates: Jeez, d’ya think they could ever believe our man Barry’s a killer? Look into his eyes–but don’t let him catch you doing it! I’ll bet a glazed doughnut he said to the Navy, “Navy, take these pirate kiddies out with maximum prejudice and don’t hurt our merchant hero captain if you value having jobs in this our Repub-fucked economy–you have until midnight Easter Sunday to get it done and do it right.” That’d put the fear of God into any swabbie.
Captured Negotiator is 16
Three Dead are 17 - 19
Are we absolutely sure Rahm Emanuel wasn’t one of the shooters? Like, you know, for larffs?
Shot at Wolf: Yes, that’s right and the remaining 72% of us are unemployed teenagers sitting in our mother’s basements in our PJs getting government handouts.
nader paul kucinich gravel: Wow. Desperate times.
nader paul kucinich gravel: Yeah, they were young, but I don’t think this was their first rodeo. And when you get into the pirate business, getting shot in the course of your workday is a distinct possibility. They could have surrendered.
S.Luggo: More assholerly from the Right, e.g. had GWB been in power the pirates would not have dared attack an American ship. Gotta agree. George’s macho aura certainly worked on 9/11.
