Death-Flu Chickens Roosting Outside White House

by Sara K. Smith  

Oh god oh god somebody tell the president! A family of filthy “birds” (that is common DC parlance for “tree rats”) has infiltrated the White House grounds. We must douse these animals in hand sanitizer, or boil them, or else just move them into a confined space with Joe Biden. [CNN]

This is the fault of Michelle’s organic garden. Nature attracts more nature, and sooner than you know your yard is filled with bees, birds, flowers and associated vermin. The sooner they put the oil well and spillage holding pond in, the better.

No doubt, placed there by Dick “Birdman of Wyoming” Cheney…

We really need to dose these birds with non-therapeutic antibiotics every day.

Only then will they be able to fulfill their natural role in incubating the mutation and evolution of a new super flu virus.

There is some awesome White House journalism. How did these guys miss the important questions in the run-up to the Iraq War?

Bruno May 4, 2009 at 3:57 pm

So is it fair to say no wildlife has been present on White House grounds for 8 years? (not counting furries)

Bruno May 4, 2009 at 3:59 pm

[re=307754]Bearbloke[/re]: Do you mean they are super secret spy birdz?

Your Honor, the defense rests.

This “news” is over week old. Also, “Robin and Her Chicks” could be the name of an all-girl dance band.

Min May 4, 2009 at 4:08 pm

Nature. **shudder**

DeLand DeLakes May 4, 2009 at 4:11 pm

A close-up photo of one of those newborn birds is going to wind up on an airborne banner over Notre Dame this week, I just know it.

rambone May 4, 2009 at 4:11 pm

Methinks CNN is just working its way up to showing some big black cocks now that Barry is in the hizzy.

Roosters, yeah, that’s what I meant.

Texan Bulldoggette May 4, 2009 at 4:11 pm

I figured Barry would attract hipper birds…Robins are so white bread.

swgm May 4, 2009 at 4:13 pm

Perfect way to make sure the mother abandons the chicks: stick a camera DIRECTLY into her nest. Good thing you got that footage, though, CNN, so we can see what nature used to look like once the Obama Antichrist’s festering muslin liberal fascist New World Order destroys everyone and everything.

(Did I do that right? I’m still new here.)

LittlePig May 4, 2009 at 4:14 pm

[re=307782]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Perhaps they are Cock Robins.

Carrie_Okie May 4, 2009 at 4:15 pm

Is killing Mockingbirds still a sin?

chascates May 4, 2009 at 4:16 pm

Should have left the raccoons there. Now they’ll have to import bobcats to take care of the birds.

Mild Midwesterner May 4, 2009 at 4:16 pm

All of Bill Clinton’s birds had bigger asses.

smartypants May 4, 2009 at 4:20 pm

[re=307786]swgm[/re]: I’m rather new myself. At least you have an avatar.

freakishlystrong May 4, 2009 at 4:21 pm

Aww..this is just some lame attempt to get a “Dark Knight” reference in there, right CNN???

ChernobylSoup May 4, 2009 at 4:22 pm

Dumbass new president is doing it wrong. You gotta collect the robin eggs early if you want to make a proper omelet.

choinski May 4, 2009 at 4:28 pm

So the press finds something wonderful, shoves a camera in its face (or this case, bush) and smothers it until its dead. Or until we hate it and revel in its disgrace.

Bliz May 4, 2009 at 4:34 pm

I would just like to point out what’s happening at the very end: the baby bird is pooping out a little sac of excrement and the mother robin is carrying it away. When the babies are younger she eats the sacs.

Monsieur Grumpe May 4, 2009 at 4:40 pm

Someone needs to put up a tiny little Mission Accomplished banner next to the nest.

How is this attracting Republicans…oh wait, nevermind.

June Cleaver 2.0 May 4, 2009 at 4:46 pm

Of course Robins are wholesomely chirp chirping outside of Obama’s home. When Bush was there, there was a nest of do-do birds. Cheney’s birds still come out at night — bats.

SayItWithWookies May 4, 2009 at 4:46 pm

[re=307813]Bliz[/re]: Oh, dear — they’re probably disposable.

The Schadenfried PAC May 4, 2009 at 4:48 pm

The RNC will now identify the Robin as the Gay Negro Socialist Muslin Bird, and will encourge small-balled Americans (people with arsenals of guns) to hunt them.

smartypants May 4, 2009 at 5:07 pm

[re=307822]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: Heh.

Spiderfrommars May 4, 2009 at 5:11 pm

Those are some TARP-sized worms, is all I’m saying. Are the robins in YOUR neighborhood flying around with worms that size ? I thought not. Birds and worms obvs planted for a cheerful, morning-in-amerikka MSM feel-good story intended to divert attention from whatever mayhem your socialisty boyfriend Barry is up to with his Guns Of Steel wifey. Also.

WadISay May 4, 2009 at 5:30 pm

Dodos are nesting outside Michele Bachmann’s window.

AxmxZ May 4, 2009 at 5:34 pm

[re=307904]WadISay[/re]: I resent this insult to dodos. The only thing they’ve got in common with the Republicans is they were both giant cocks.

slithytoves May 4, 2009 at 5:43 pm

Bad pet decision. Someone should have gotten a cat; nothing beats watching them on the prowl, or cleaning up vomited bird detritus on the carpet. Good nature footage for the kiddies, too.

Custerwolf May 4, 2009 at 5:51 pm

[re=307924]slithytoves[/re]: To illustrate how complusive a recycler I am – whenever my cats bring bird entrails into the trailer, I open their crops, empty out the seed and put it back in the feeder.

slithytoves May 4, 2009 at 5:54 pm

[re=307937]Custerwolf[/re]: Wow, that’s just…wow.

smartypants May 4, 2009 at 5:54 pm

[re=307924]slithytoves[/re]: Oh yez. My own little terrorista would EATS that twitter spy, then drag it forth unto the steps of my abode and display it proudly. Probably have a little muslin flag stuck in it for plate presentation.

slithytoves May 4, 2009 at 5:55 pm

[re=307937]Custerwolf[/re]: Okay – now I’m over my gag reflex. Thank you.

slithytoves May 4, 2009 at 5:59 pm

[re=307941]smartypants[/re]: They can do even better – I once tracked down screaming sounds to my garage where my cat had nailed a baby rabbit. I killed it with a shovel. The rabbit, I mean. There. Who said libruls were bleeding hearts?

smartypants May 4, 2009 at 5:59 pm

[re=307937]Custerwolf[/re]: Yeah, that’s what my birdfeeder directions said, too.

For the record – robin babies are not called chicks. They are either hatchlings, fledgings, or lunchmeat for kitties. They are NOT chicks.

sarcasticusername May 4, 2009 at 8:27 pm

firs the raccoons, now birds; there was a duck and her ducklings there today as well. they seem to have a bit of a pest problem over there; i guess that’s what happens when you let negroes move in.

Song of the South is just begging the question here.

Brer Robin

Ask Jeff ‘Boy’ Sessions…he’ll have some good ones…

I’d add him to my Western Ken Doll collection, but he’s too short. Also, he is not Western. I believe he prefers an Eastern grip.

It’s a strange world, isn’t it?

….uh….does someone want to tell CNN this is a male robin? (and not a ‘her’)

Everyone in D.C. knows “what goes around comes around”, so why the surprise at finding a nesting ‘Turdus migratorius’?
