JFK IS ROLLING IN HIS GRAVE

We Are Famous On CNN’s Wacky News-That-Isn’t-Really-News Segment

Wonkette’s favorite girlfriend Jeanne Moos quoted our own Ken Layne referring to Obama’s “Ich bin ein Muslin” speech in Cairo yesterday. Other people, it appears, had the same clever catchphrase rattling around their skulls but whatever, Wonkette wins the Jeanne Moos News Hour. [CNN]

    I’m wondering how I can get one of those cartooche thingies that show Obama as the new King Tut. It would look lovely next to my genuine, limited edition Obama inauguration plate in the place of honor in my home, the top shelf of the entertainment unit.

    OMG he spoke arabic, let’s see how much “he’s a muslim” innuendo we can fit into two minutes! what does it all mean?!? we know it can’t possibly mean that the state dept. has translators, who can teach a reasonably intelligent person 5 arabic words; that’s just crazy talk! he’s obviously a secret muslin.

    Can it really be mere coincidence that I watched this video right after checking out this amazing discovery from a commenter in the “Fox Forum Funny Blackberry Questions” post?

    Jeanne is so wacky!

  5. Serolf Divad says at 9:57 am, June 5th, 2009

    The Irony, of course, is that “Salaam Aleikum” is Arabic for “I’m a jelly donut.”

  6. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 9:57 am, June 5th, 2009

    I think “Bill” needs to apologize to us now. We are all serious news journalists and shit.

  7. Aloysius says at 9:57 am, June 5th, 2009

    Please, if we could just put Jeanne Moos and Andy Rooney in a box and set it on fire, I promise to pay for the carbon offset.

    Way to go, Wonkette. Driving the news cycle.

  10. CockedAle says at 10:03 am, June 5th, 2009

    rachelv: Obama is Jacob!
    (Lostie reference)

  11. Texan Bulldoggette says at 10:04 am, June 5th, 2009

    Does this mean Ken has to sleep with Jeanne Moos in return for the shout out?

  12. MARCdMan says at 10:05 am, June 5th, 2009

    Aloysius: Insha’Allah

  13. MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend says at 10:08 am, June 5th, 2009

    Texan Bulldoggette: Yes!

    Does this mean that Wonkette has won the day? What will Politico do now?

  14. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 10:11 am, June 5th, 2009

    I think our editors should bask in the afterglow by taking the day off.

    Wait, what am I saying?!

  15. Monsieur Grumpe says at 10:11 am, June 5th, 2009

    The vid needs comedy/clown music just to give that extra wacky news feel.

  16. Obama confirms his relation to Bustaphet, the pharoah that bailed out the chariot industry after Ramses told the Hebrew National Union to get the fuck out.

  17. I just hope Ken doesn’t get the big head after this.

    BTW, is there anything our President doesn’t look good doing?

  18. windupbird says at 10:21 am, June 5th, 2009

    Someone needs to get the original batshit Muslin-sign-guy’s take on this.

  19. Haha, more like ‘Ich bin ein Pharaoh’. I forget what his touch is supposed to cure.

  20. LeastExcellent says at 10:26 am, June 5th, 2009

    Obama is taking over the world one country at a time, declared leader of Continental Europe during presidential race and now King of the Nile. There’s some international experience, he’s the friggin ruler of 3 countries at once. Also.

  21. Joshua Norton says at 10:31 am, June 5th, 2009

    Of course, former Chairwoman Inhofe attacks Obama’s “Un-American” speech.

    From TPM:

    I mean, c’mon - we all saw that one coming, din’t we?

  22. ladymacbeth says at 10:52 am, June 5th, 2009

    i had really really hoped hilz would give up the pantsuits. take a sartorial queue from michelle or something…

    but nope, hitting the pyramids in mustard fanny pack ‘merican tourist style.

  23. hobospacejunkie says at 11:18 am, June 5th, 2009

    Joshua Norton: Un-American speech? Hardly! Try Anti-American, apologizin’ and admiitin’ “mistakes” (hint Nobama: we don’t make ‘em) like US America’d just been let outta jail. As the head republican said, Al-Qa’eda better hurry & destroy ‘Murka before Barack Hussein Obama does.

  24. SayItWithWookies says at 11:22 am, June 5th, 2009

    Oddly enough, nobody’s seen Tutankhamen’s birth certificate either.

  25. NoWireHangers says at 11:34 am, June 5th, 2009

    That big eared hieroglyphic is conspiracy theorist gold…
    -Obama was sent by Aliens through the Star Gate to destroy America which is why he has Spock ears.
    -Obama is a mummy infused with the power of voodoo to walk among the living, thus no birth certificate.
    -Thomas Jefferson’s Qur’an told him to put a pyramid on the dollar bill to mark the second coming of King Tut who would be born of an acorn.

  26. NoWireHangers says at 11:36 am, June 5th, 2009

    Jeanne MOSS or Jeanne Moooooos

  27. 102415 says at 11:45 am, June 5th, 2009

    After having my eyes opened last night I just want to remind you all that this means Barry really is a God and that for awhile a least we can all bask in his Sunny glory until the damn Amun priests undo everthing and we descend back into misery. I am just wondering where Barry is going to move the capitol to?
    Sun-Ra, The Bangels and all the rest of it.

  28. hoosiermama says at 11:49 am, June 5th, 2009

    NoWireHangers: and Obama must also drink an elixir of tanna leaves each day.

  29. WhatTheHeck says at 12:07 pm, June 5th, 2009

    Way-o, way-o, way-o, way-o

    He talks like an Egyp-chee-aan.

  30. Mr Blifil says at 12:40 pm, June 5th, 2009

    When Jean Moos got all up in that quarter’s face with her magnification thing-gummy, I just about busted out laughing. SHE’S OFF THE HOOK!

    May she never be abducted by Islamist zealots and made to endure a diet of goat. And I certainly hope that if she were abducted that she would somehow avoid being decapitated. Because that would be awful.

  31. Where Jeanne Moos, Campbell Brown once was. Just sayin’.

  32. proudgrampa says at 1:02 pm, June 5th, 2009

    NoWireHangers: I say we move the capitol from DC to Giza! Think of all that Pyramid Power!

  33. loquaciousmusic says at 3:03 pm, June 5th, 2009

    I just wanted to tell that damned tour guide to shush, keep it down now, because, obviously, voices carry, honey.

  34. sweetcandy says at 4:26 pm, June 5th, 2009

    Methinks someone here at Wonkette gave Jeanne Moos a butty call just for the site can be on teevee.

  35. If Barack is secretly a Pharaoh, does that mean Michelle is his sister?..
