JFK IS ROLLING IN HIS GRAVE  9:29 am June 5, 2009

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

by Sara K. Smith


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]

Hola wonkerados.

To improve site performance, we did a thing. It could be up to three minutes before your comment appears. DON'T KEEP RETRYING, OKAY?

Also, if you are a new commenter, your comment may never appear. This is probably because we hate you.

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!

Serolf Divad June 5, 2009 at 9:57 am

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

Naked Bunny with a Whip June 5, 2009 at 9:57 am

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

Aloysius June 5, 2009 at 9:57 am

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.

CockedAle June 5, 2009 at 10:03 am

[re=332994]rachelv[/re]: Obama is Jacob!

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

MARCdMan June 5, 2009 at 10:05 am

[re=332999]Aloysius[/re]: Insha’Allah

MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend June 5, 2009 at 10:08 am

[re=333005]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Yes!

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

Naked Bunny with a Whip June 5, 2009 at 10:11 am

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

Wait, what am I saying?!

Monsieur Grumpe June 5, 2009 at 10:11 am

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

Servo June 5, 2009 at 10:14 am

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.

Min June 5, 2009 at 10:19 am

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

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

windupbird June 5, 2009 at 10:21 am

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

TGY June 5, 2009 at 10:26 am

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

LeastExcellent June 5, 2009 at 10:26 am

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.

Joshua Norton June 5, 2009 at 10:31 am

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?

ladymacbeth June 5, 2009 at 10:52 am

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.

hobospacejunkie June 5, 2009 at 11:18 am

[re=333025]Joshua Norton[/re]: 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.

SayItWithWookies June 5, 2009 at 11:22 am

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

NoWireHangers June 5, 2009 at 11:34 am

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.

Jeanne MOSS or Jeanne Moooooos

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.

hoosiermama June 5, 2009 at 11:49 am

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

WhatTheHeck June 5, 2009 at 12:07 pm

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

He talks like an Egyp-chee-aan.

Mr Blifil June 5, 2009 at 12:40 pm

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.

qaf June 5, 2009 at 12:49 pm

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

proudgrampa June 5, 2009 at 1:02 pm

[re=333080]NoWireHangers[/re]: I say we move the capitol from DC to Giza! Think of all that Pyramid Power!

loquaciousmusic June 5, 2009 at 3:03 pm

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

sweetcandy June 5, 2009 at 4:26 pm

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

AxmxZ June 6, 2009 at 10:40 am

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