Wonkette
While we do not condone presidential participation in the idiot follies of the White House Correspondents Association Dinner, which should end each year with the detonation of a dozen limo bombs, we have not run any photos this year of the president having diplomatic talks with a comical pirate, so here it is. [Pete Souza/White House]
Captain Morgan’s our new secretary of the Navy.
Laugh if you will, but Harry Reid has already signed over half of Puerto Rico to that guy.
“Have ye got any Cap’n Morgan in ya?”
“No”
“Would ye like some?”
Hey, Obama always said during the campaign that he’d sit down with hostile foreign leaders. Guess that includes the president of Somalia. YARRRRRRRRR!!!!
I can’t wait for the Public Service Announcement to come from this meeting…
I am a huge fan of sodomy and the lash. Rum? Not so much.
That picture just reeks of irony…
Avast! Also.
Is that how Bibi’s dressing these days? Wow.
So the White House is finally addressing the Somalia issue….good.
Oh boy, here we go - Arrrrrr, Arrrrr, Arrrrrr! Curse you, Dave Barry, for taking pirate mockery out of the realm of the cool kids, and cheapening it, making it a thing of tarnish and mental rot. Not a single morsel of wit is left to be uncovered in a realm left as miserable and barren as a salt flat.
“Oh, I met a pirate with a wooden leg named Smith.”
“Really? And what was his other leg named?”
For a pirate, he sure crosses his legs like a fancy boy.
Oh, the RIAA’s gonna be pissed.
Black Beard and Black Prez discuss ways to defeat Republican ‘Mental Scurvy’. Arrrr!
“SOLD I TO THE MERCHANT SHIPS” just won the afternoon.
Newell is a ‘tag’ artiste, but if he tops that well … god bless him.
Hey who let Terry McAuliffe in?
That pirate sits like a girl, so I’m not even asking what ‘kind’ he is.
Wharrr be the teleprompter?!?!?!
“On the recommendation of Justice Thomas, the President interviews Long Dong Silver for the upcoming Supreme Court vacancy.”
Pirates of the White House: The Legend of Cheney’s Gold
Shouldn’t he be shooting that motherfucker, and upping his score to 4?
THAT UPPITY MOTHER FUCKER IS APPEASING THE SOMALIANS.
And I thought people fears about the slippery slope were exaggerated, but it’s a fucking Renaissance Fair in over there on Fridays.
Ken, Congrats on the Pogues ref. The soundtrack of my college years.
A privateer for the new Secretary of Commerce? Brilliant.
As a dedicated Pastafarian, I’m delighted our President is meeting with an emissary from the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Truly, a golden age approaches.
Lascauxcaveman: It’s the only way to avoid global warming.
Suggested caption for the photo: “I’m a lefty by necessity, as you can see. ARRRHH”
problemwithcaring: You spelled “Faire” wrong.
“I know. It’s driving me nuts.”
aye aye captain!
My favorite pic was a few minutes later, when hopey leaned back and let the seals vaporize the pirate’s head in a cloud of pink mist.
Clearly the security of the US rum supply is incredibly important, and a valid use of the president’s time. In the last depression, people were CONSTITUTIONALLY REQUIRED to remain sober. Never again!!
Was that parrot properly veted?
It’s a shout out to the Flying Spaghetti Monster worshipers!
“Arrr — it hurts when I pee.”
A pirate in the White House! But who is the strange amputee to the left of the Kenyan captain?
The guy in the photo does not look Somalian. Photo is therefore, fake.
Nice Churchillian alt-text, Mr. Layne.
When will they release the photos of Obama meeting with the other Middle Earth heads of state?
Speechwriters are the most accommadating sycophants in the world, aren’t they?
I see Mr. Layne yer czech in out the comments from the fly over that revealed this dasdurdlee treesunus plot to give us to the Somaliz Pyrates!
That is the best Wonkette headline I have seen.
SayItWithWookies: Uh-uh. I just think that spelling is socialist and un-’Merican. No offense, fag.
problemwithcaring: I’d object, but since I spent last night closing a bar that had a $2 champagne cocktail special, I’m just going to shut up.
Shouldn’t that headline be “Obama Secures U.S. Rump Supply”? ’cause that’s one gay looking pirate.
So THIS is why we haven’t sold Puerto Rico to Cuba?
We can make rum in Florida, you know.
Clearly a deceased Norwegian Blue, yet as Jorge Bush would note: “Its metabolic processes are a matter of interest only to historians!”
I hate that I feel ambiguous (i.e. stupid) about this intended-to-send-a-message ironical pix. Is it to mean everyone he sits down with has been fleecing people? I.e. the bankrz, the auto-dopes, other heads o’state (Chavez, Cuba, etc.)? If so, then ha-ha, I get it. Me so dumb.
Sexy-time boots. Also.
gjdodger: That would be a good idea! I always write in Long Dong Silver for Pres. when I vote, but Supreme Court is even better.
RabidHamster: You didn’t know the buccaneers were all gay?
Zhu Bajie
zhubajie: Isn’t everyone from Tampa?
SayItWithWookies: Well thanks. But start holding your liquor better my friend. Missed you Wonkette proliferation today.
problemwithcaring: Eh, it was just a busy day today. Those ten giant glasses of champagne had nothing to do with it.
“Sold I to the merchant ships” is oblique, but damn funny.
this pirate is not even a little bit like johnny depp.
Well, at least the pirate is not a furry.
And lo, the Whitehouse was touched by His noodly appendage…
