OH BOY

Hey It’s Barack Obama Sitting On Some Stairs

George Will is dying right now. The president is sitting on a pile of trash, basically. And is the fellow on the left wearing dungarees and flip flops? Can we get a column on flip flops, George Will? Close those legs, Obama. [Pete Souza/White House]

    Flip flops in DC? The Republic is on its last legs.

  2. shortsshortsshorts says at 7:51 pm, June 10th, 2009

    THIS IS VERY OFFENSIVE. I HAVE BEEN 4 BLOCKS FROM THOSE STAIRS.

  3. El Bombastico says at 7:51 pm, June 10th, 2009

    How dare you?!? I was FOUR BLOCKS AWAY when this person paired espadrilles with jeans!

    This will never get old. Wait, it already is.

  4. ShamWow says at 7:53 pm, June 10th, 2009

    Obama’s open legs just made me starburst

    This is all Eddie Bauer’s fault!

  10. AngryBlakGuy says at 8:07 pm, June 10th, 2009

    …shouldn’t he be facing the east?

  11. facehead says at 8:08 pm, June 10th, 2009

    An exquisite shot of George Bush Sr. groping a wombat.

    Needs a tad more grope though.

  12. peggynooner says at 8:10 pm, June 10th, 2009

    shortsshortsshorts: Hilarious meme. Work trucknutz in and you’ll get a gold star from the overlords.

  13. facehead says at 8:10 pm, June 10th, 2009

    El Bombastico: FOUR AND A HALF BLOCKS ALAN!!!!!!!!!

    Now it is dead.

  14. schvitzatura says at 8:12 pm, June 10th, 2009

    George Will needs to have the benefits of selvage serge de nimes explained to him.

    Double-vented jacket paired with demi-huaraches? Call DHS and have this suspected enemy combatant shipped to sunny Palau!

  15. Country Club Jihadi says at 8:12 pm, June 10th, 2009

    When I finally become Reggie’s girlfriend, I shall scold him about wearing flip-flops in Paris.

  16. goodluck/badluck says at 8:15 pm, June 10th, 2009

    He probably sat down to save the guy on the right from the embarrassment of being photographed next to the president with such a wrinkly motherfuckin shirt on.

    Counter-clockwise from Sandals it’s like the evolution of footwear… “boots” are probably implied.

  17. upsidedownpaddle says at 8:19 pm, June 10th, 2009

    Is the Print ad photo for The Wire Season 6?

  18. DC Hates Me says at 8:20 pm, June 10th, 2009

    This is one of those smooth jazz albums, isn’t it?

  19. Hopey dont play that game says at 8:21 pm, June 10th, 2009

    Is this a dockers ad from 1988?

  20. iantenna says at 8:23 pm, June 10th, 2009

    “let the coolness get into our vertebrae.”

  21. Cicada says at 8:25 pm, June 10th, 2009

    Where is the promised picture of Bush with a wombat? Dammit, Jim, is there no accountability?

  22. Extemporanus says at 8:28 pm, June 10th, 2009

    Is that an ad for Banana Republic’s new Muslin Loafer Summer Collection?

  23. Country Club Jihadi says at 8:31 pm, June 10th, 2009

    Of course, I will also Dick Morris Reggie’s toes like there’s no tomorrow.

  24. AngryBlakGuy says at 8:36 pm, June 10th, 2009

    …where is his pack of Newports and cup of Kool-Aid?

  25. EdFlinstone says at 8:36 pm, June 10th, 2009

    Jesus this is George Will’s nightmare; jeans, no ties, flipflops, sneakers, rolled up sleeves and no snazzy bow ties.

  26. JimNewell says at 8:38 pm, June 10th, 2009

    Cicada: You’re right, but Reggie Love toe-fucking porn was good enough, I thought. (It was offensive.)

  27. lizard scum says at 8:44 pm, June 10th, 2009

    It’s good to see our philosopher-king holding forth.

  28. chascates says at 8:50 pm, June 10th, 2009

    Barry should declare ‘casual Fridays’ and just let the chips fall. Isn’t it hot as hell in DC during the summer? And a tie on Dick Cheney doesn’t make him less of a hyena.

  29. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 8:51 pm, June 10th, 2009

    Damn Negros and their jazz cigarettes. He deserves what George Will gives him this time.

  30. schvitzatura says at 8:51 pm, June 10th, 2009

    EdFlinstone: Yes, there is a distinct lack of obligatory late spring seersucker. Oh, the humanity!

  31. I believe this is what the young people today call “chillaxin’.”

  32. SlipperyDick says at 9:04 pm, June 10th, 2009

    How can Obama be our king if he insists on acting like an ordinary person?

  33. goodluck/badluck says at 9:13 pm, June 10th, 2009

    It figures that Barack Obama would sit on some Negro stairs by a Jew/Negro building with his Negro Assistant while a Jew/Negro/White panel of interlocutors surround him in an array of Jew/Oriental shoes.

  34. d4g33z says at 9:20 pm, June 10th, 2009

    Thank you for any half-mention of Reggie Love or indirect reference thereof.

  35. This is the most outrageous violation of the dignity of the presidency ever since William Howard Taft demonstrated his ultra-super-oversized special X-tra large bathtub. The scandalous thing is that underneat his clothes, Taft was buck bare nekked!

    But this is worse, because, Obama! OPelose! OBiden! and OFrank!

  36. Holding Out for a Hero says at 9:35 pm, June 10th, 2009

    No comments for Rahm’s khakis and white tennis shoes? And no, don’t ask me how I knew the torso on the right was Rahm.

  37. goodluck/badluck: Don’t let Rahm hear you say that about his shirt. He will fuck yo shit up.

  38. Holding Out for a Hero: Something about the posture and the foot position reveals years of ballet training.

  39. Jukesgrrl says at 9:55 pm, June 10th, 2009

    chascates: Please do not insult hyenas. If you must compare Cheney to an animal, may I recommend the boar — for the value of the homonym, as well as the fact that they were prominent in Nazi Germany.

  40. TexasCowGirl says at 9:57 pm, June 10th, 2009

    Why does our Muslin Overlord Barry Hussein positively insist on being so very sexy? These types of photos make it difficult for me to convince myself that I didn’t vote for him because he’s hot.

  41. Witsendnj says at 10:24 pm, June 10th, 2009

    Pant, pant, pant…

  42. rocktonsammy says at 10:55 pm, June 10th, 2009

    IF HE BREAKS OUT A 40 AND A SHEET OF CARDBOARD FOR BREAK DANCING, NEVERMIND

  43. WadISay says at 11:18 pm, June 10th, 2009

    When Barry’s butt is the hammer, every stair looks like a nail.

  44. Humpback says at 11:22 pm, June 10th, 2009

    The President has stumbled and fallen! Oh, someone help the poor man up!

  45. AnnieGetYourFun says at 11:48 pm, June 10th, 2009

    I… I just can’t picture the Secret Service NOT having a heart attack over this.

  46. Joshua Norton says at 11:54 pm, June 10th, 2009

    Hanging out on the front porch is a black thing. Deal with it.

  47. 19kevin8 says at 12:15 am, June 11th, 2009

    If George W Bush had died in 2002, he’d be turning is his grave, with a bandage on his face.
    If he’d died in the summer of 2008, he’d be turning in his grave while slouching at a 45 degree angle during his Olympic games interview with Bob Costas.

  48. CollegeStudent says at 2:20 am, June 11th, 2009

    dijetlo: If one was allowed to congratulate a comment with a single word indicating a victorious achievement, your comment would have garnered such a response from me.

    I can see that same picture being taken on the steps of Punahou School or in the ’80’s at Columbia. Once a dude is the one never carrying his own stash and always hitting up his friends, he’s always that dude…even if he’s the President.

  49. AnnieGetYourFun: Next he’ll be unbuttoning his shirt and draping himself artistically over benches with orgasmically shut eyes towards the sun.

    No wait, that’s my wanking image for tomorrow. Nevermind.

  50. SayItWithWookies says at 4:14 am, June 11th, 2009

    I know, I’m a whore. My excuse is that I think it’s pertinent.

    Prediction: That’s going to be the most popular spot in Paris for photographs. If the French are smart, they’ll encourage this.

  52. tehbenton says at 7:42 am, June 11th, 2009

    George Will simply does not care for this thong sandal footwear.

  53. Manos: Hands of Fate says at 8:09 am, June 11th, 2009

    Check out the bum on right who can’t even bother to tuck in his shirt. George Will no doubt is laying awake in bed, fully dressed in his pressed and fully buttoned silk pajamas over the decline of this once great Republic.

  54. Suds McKenzie says at 8:30 am, June 11th, 2009

    DC Hates Me: ” Kind of Fucked” ??

  55. Anita Cocktail says at 9:05 am, June 11th, 2009

    I must disagree. Open those legs wide, Barack, and come to mama….

  56. Monsieur Grumpe says at 9:06 am, June 11th, 2009

    Chillin.

  57. Johnny Zhivago says at 9:18 am, June 11th, 2009

    I went over to Flickr and there is not one single photo where Obama looks like a complete idiot or even sort of an idiot. Compare this to the Bush Presidency - where you could count on at least 75% of his photos being funny.

    The only conclusion I can draw is that Bush’s real problem was his photographer.

  58. George Will's Bow Tie says at 9:57 am, June 11th, 2009

    good god man, laying down on the job? no wonder we’re all going to hell.

  59. chascates: Flip flops and jeans are better than sandals and socks. Or Crocs in any combination.

  60. Gorillionaire says at 11:08 am, June 11th, 2009

    All that pic needs is a busted sofa on the front porch and that could be my rent house and roomies circa 7PM any work day 1994-1996.

  61. Real Talk says at 11:15 am, June 11th, 2009

    The President, Reggie (slippers) Axelrod (suit) and Emanuel (sneakers)

  62. frumious_bandersnatch says at 11:28 am, June 11th, 2009

    Rahm. Unf. Also: nice tuchis, Mr. COS. I hope George Will has a niiiice conniption.

  63. zenferret says at 11:40 am, June 11th, 2009

    Right-wingers idea of humor:

    How is Barrack Obama like Jesus Christ?

    Neither has a birth certificate.

    Seriously the dud thought it was hysterical.

    Specially since now we know that answer is they both hang out with guys wearing sandals.

    chascates:

    The tie on Cheney is a camouflage for his choke collar.

  64. Elastic Syntax says at 11:45 am, June 11th, 2009

    He’s got Polio! More and more like FDR everyday.

  65. Johnny Zhivago: Barry has a suspicious knack for that - not looking like an idiot in front of the camera. One almost suspects youthful modeling indiscretions.

  66. EdFlinstone says at 5:07 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Its probably wonkette warping my already sick, twisted mind but this looks like the start of some gay gangbang scene.

  67. Scandalabra says at 7:33 pm, June 11th, 2009

    I had to download that one to the hidden folder “dickfood” for later perusal and deconstruction.
