    Who is to blame? WHO IS TO BLAME? Duh! The Jews.

  2. MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend says at 5:17 pm, June 11th, 2009

    And yet, the Jews are all pissed off at him over his statements about settlements and the Palestinians, right?

    I’m confused!

  3. 19kevin8 says at 5:17 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Is that a fact?

  4. JimNewell says at 5:18 pm, June 11th, 2009

    forgracie: I blame the Uighurs.

  5. hockeymom says at 5:19 pm, June 11th, 2009

    I’m confused, who did Reverend Wright shoot?

  6. Kev-O-Tron says at 5:19 pm, June 11th, 2009

    I’m confused. Is it not also a fact that he’s a muslin?

  7. Advn2rgirl says at 5:19 pm, June 11th, 2009

    MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend: Maybe they’re not very good at POTUS domination? Nah, that can’t be it.

  8. MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend: Yeah, I though Obama was an anti-Semite, ever since he told the Israelis “maybe you should stop stealing the Palestinians’ land now”.

  9. Advn2rgirl says at 5:20 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Jim Newell: Uppity Uighurs.

  10. jetjaguar says at 5:22 pm, June 11th, 2009

    statement of fact: Jake Tapper saves children, but not the jewish children

  11. sad tortoise says at 5:23 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Has Jake Tapper turned into Mr. Hat? And if so, is this good news for Jake Tapper, or bad news for Mr. Hat?

  12. SayItWithWookies says at 5:24 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Jake, this does not mean that listening to the voices in your head is a good idea.

  13. Violenza says at 5:26 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Perhaps this is the post-racial society Obama has created (just like when he created the Jews) - blacks and whites coming together. I saw the Wright story and felt like Tapper would probably be the first to make the connection. He’s just that bright and enterprising.

  14. I love this game!

    Fact:Jake Tapper has an 11 year old Thai boy chained up in his basement.

  15. Mr Blifil says at 5:26 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Statement of fact: Jake Tapper smokes crack pipes and cock, not necessarily in that order, among DC’s nicer back alleys. For pocket money.

  16. WickedWitch says at 5:26 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Jake. Shut up.

  17. Hopey dont play that game says at 5:27 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Huey Lewis has not had a hit since he split with the Jews.

  18. Crosseyed and Painless says at 5:27 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Facts all come with points of view
    Facts don’t do what I want them to
    Facts just twist the truth around
    Facts are living turned inside out
    Facts are getting the best of them
    Facts are nothing on the face of things

  19. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:29 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Look guys, this is just a statement of fact… it’s just true.

    Jake Tapper was born out of his mothers ass and is controlled by moon-bats.

  20. SayItWithWookies says at 5:29 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Statement of fact: Jake Tapper is descended from a primitive African hominid with thumbs on its feet. Just sayin’.

  21. WIDTAP says at 5:30 pm, June 11th, 2009

    New category, please. Combine Fact with Fairy Tale. Now. Ask him again.

  22. dennymcden says at 5:31 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Jake Tapper is a grundle for posting this to Twitter.

    Strike that… everybody is a grundle for posting to Twitter.

  23. MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend says at 5:31 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Oooh I want to play!!

    Statement of Fact: Jake Tapper is a fucking idiot.

  24. GDuvall says at 5:32 pm, June 11th, 2009

    On the one hand, an old black man said something stupid. On the other hand, an old white man shot a guy to death for no good reason. So really, there’s plenty of venom on all sides.

  25. DirkLeisure says at 5:33 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Crosseyed and Painless: I’m still waiting…for Jake Tapper to make one ounce of sense.

  26. facehead says at 5:34 pm, June 11th, 2009

    hockeymom: Obama’s foot.

  27. Looloo K says at 5:35 pm, June 11th, 2009

    But he’s broken the spell of control by putting his feet up on his desk and flashed his sole/soul.

  28. Country Club Jihadi says at 5:36 pm, June 11th, 2009

    POTUS and the JEWS are the new Josie and the Pussycats.

  29. I got yer facts right here.

  30. lawchic says at 5:37 pm, June 11th, 2009

    So can we just sum up the “statements of fact” over the past week: a) Obama hates the Jews because he wants them to stop with the settlements, which are damaging their national security interests and our national security interests; b) Obama was really a secret muslim all along because he goes to muslim countries and starts speaking their language and talking to them like human beings; c) Obama is “run by the Jews” that he hates more than life itself. I’m starting to think this Obama fellow is not actually a real person.

  31. imissopus says at 5:38 pm, June 11th, 2009

    I forget: which one said it in a newspaper article that hardly anyone paid attention to and which one shot up the Holocaust Museum?

  32. NebraskashireGentry says at 5:40 pm, June 11th, 2009

    I have only ever called “Jake Tapper” by his given name: ABC’s Ed Henry.

  33. blogslut says at 5:41 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Wowsers! Old Jake’s stream of consciousness has become an undertow.

  34. lizard scum says at 5:42 pm, June 11th, 2009

    If Rev. Wright hates the guy so much why does Obama continue to LOVE him?!

  35. 19kevin8 says at 5:42 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Fact: Twitter makes anyone who twats sound like a fucking idiot. Even when they are, in fact, already a fucking idiot, without that the twatting.

  36. Chickensmack says at 5:44 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Twitter: Story where the headline should be.

    To all journalists out there, past, present or future: Stop whatever you’re doing, and breathe. Reassess everything you know and value, because the scoop is not nearly as worthy as the book. If you think otherwise, you’re flat wrong.

  37. EdFlinstone says at 5:44 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Statement of fact: both Jake Tapper and Michele Bachman have claimed some really stupid shit.

  38. chascates says at 5:45 pm, June 11th, 2009

    “If thou wilt, go with me to the alehouse. If not, thou art an Hebrew, a Jew, and not worth the name of a Christian.”

    EVERYBODY RUN!!!

  40. magic titty says at 5:48 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Tweetard.

  41. Mad Farmer Manifest says at 5:54 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Do you know what else the Jews control? Judaism. Statement of fact.

  42. 19kevin8 says at 5:57 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Mad Farmer Manifest: No! Say it ain’t so!

  43. DagNabbit says at 5:58 pm, June 11th, 2009

    jetjaguar: I heard that mother fucker had like thirty god damn dicks.

  44. Hooray For Anything says at 6:04 pm, June 11th, 2009

    lawchic: It’s all a part of a devious plot us Jews have schemed up to throw everyone off the scent. Soon enough our plans will come to fruition as we use Obama as a trojan horse to finally take over the entertainment industry and a large percentage of accounting and legal firms. Now that Obama’s President, we’re going to start Phase 2 which is to put in place a Jewish network executive who’ll then hire some Jewish writers to write a show starring a Jewish comedian in a sitcom about living in New York. Nobody will see it coming

    Mwah haw haw haw.

  45. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 6:05 pm, June 11th, 2009

    I have not heard of “Jake Tapper” before. Based on the name, I guess I need to familiarize myself with the up-and-cumming* stars of porn.

    * See what I did there? I took advantage of a homophone for a terrific joke! Stay in school, kids.

  46. June Cleaver 2.0 says at 6:11 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Fact: That twitter sh*t is driving me crazy.

  47. chascates says at 6:12 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Hooray For Anything: Just as long as you don’t poison our well water. And if you need childrens’ blood for baking I’m fine with it. There’s too many kids running around as it is.

  48. Wet Work says at 6:13 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Statement of Fact:

    Jake Tapper really is a butt-boy.

  49. SomeNYGuy says at 6:13 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Naked Bunny with a Whip: I used to have a homophone, but it would only make obscene calls to Lindsay Graham.

  50. 4tehlulz says at 6:13 pm, June 11th, 2009

    statement of fact: James von Brunn and Rev. Wright have shot up Holocaust memor….

    wait.

  51. iantenna says at 6:13 pm, June 11th, 2009

    statement of fact: i just got an email declaring “obama was cursed by the pope.”

  52. Vewol Mevemont says at 6:17 pm, June 11th, 2009

    And Obama is associated with Rev. Wright, which means Obama believes that Obama is controlled by the jews. The conclusion is inescapable: Obama is a racist! Racist, racist, racist! OBAMA IS A RACIST!

  53. paintitblack says at 6:18 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Fact: I would not tap that.

  54. norbizness says at 6:18 pm, June 11th, 2009

    I used to play the Root Beer Tapper stand-up arcade game in the early-to-mid 80s. I wonder if this Jake Tapper is related. I mean, Jake is related to Root Beer: STATEMENT OF FAKKKKT.

  55. Come here a minute says at 6:18 pm, June 11th, 2009

    I have a problem with this.

    If only Jake Tapper had a Final Solution to this Jewish Problem.

  56. engulfedinflames says at 6:21 pm, June 11th, 2009

    statement of fact: in the same day james von brunn and rush limbaugh claimed the prez is not a us citizen.

  57. 4tehlulz says at 6:21 pm, June 11th, 2009

    If Obama is controlled by the Jews, and Rev. Wright preaches to the Obamas, does this mean that the reverend is a rabbi?

  58. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 6:22 pm, June 11th, 2009

    @Vewol Mevemont: Your logic is irrefutable.

  59. finallyhappy says at 6:23 pm, June 11th, 2009

    I am a Jew who is a member of the ZOG. We do not control Obama- we do not have to - he is one of us-formerly one of our great hidden leaders-now he is the leader of the WORLD(and a number of planets- but I digress). The whole Muslin/birth certificate thing was started by Lord Obama to throw you off -so no one would suspect a man of Kansan and Kenyan ancestry of being a Jew. Wasn’t there a seder at the White House- hmmm?? How about Rahm Emmanuel(catch the last name if you please) as his chief of staff. I mean, how many more clues do we have to give you people? OY, GOYIM- get with it!

  60. FormerDCite says at 6:24 pm, June 11th, 2009

    The POTUS is controlled by the Jews? Really? How ironic Mr. Tapper, please tell us about your boss, Mr. Bob Iger.

  61. Cicada says at 6:26 pm, June 11th, 2009

    jetjaguar: I also heard Jake Tapper has, like, thirty goddamn dicks.

  62. DagNabbit: Primo cut jew-dicks, yo.

  63. June Cleaver 2.0 says at 6:27 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Is Jake Tapper saying that it must be true because evidence is mounting?

  64. SomeNYGuy says at 6:28 pm, June 11th, 2009

    FormerDCite: Ironically, this wouldn’t be a problem if ol’ Walt Disney was still alive.

  65. Vewol Mevemont says at 6:28 pm, June 11th, 2009

    finallyhappy: What do you mean by “you people”?

  66. 4tehlulz says at 6:28 pm, June 11th, 2009

    finallyhappy: Thanks for the updata; the ZOG lost my e-mail address.

  67. You spin me wright jew baby wright jew like tapper now…

  68. finallyhappy says at 6:32 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Vewol Mevemont: If you don’t know, you are one of them.

  69. johnnypantalones says at 6:41 pm, June 11th, 2009

    What I want to know is how Jews manage to find the time to control banking, the world government AND the entertainment industry and still make it to synagogue. I don’t even have time do my laundry most weeks and I only have one job!

  70. Harvey Birdman says at 6:43 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Where’s that ginger girl from Kids in the Hall?

  71. hobospacejunkie says at 6:44 pm, June 11th, 2009

    statement of fact: Jake Tapper’s existence begs the question Why isn’t Jake Tapper locked up in a Rhode Island Dept of Retaahdation facility?

    Also, not a homophone but has anyone here yet insulted Jake Tapper by calling him Jake Fapper?

    In the future I will refer to him only as Jake Fapper and hope I can persuade our Wonkette Overlords to do the same. And by persuade I mean write the previous sentence, because that’s as much as I care about Jake Fapper.

  72. ioksotot23 says at 6:44 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Country Club Jihadi: I think is Jewsie and the Potuscats

  73. johnnypantalones says at 6:45 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Harvey Birdman: I don’t know, but until Tapper gets 30 Helens to agree on it, I don’t think it counts as a fact.

  74. Cicada says at 6:49 pm, June 11th, 2009

    DagNabbit: Dag nabbit! I missed your comment.

  75. DagNabbit says at 6:52 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Cicada: Ha Ha No worries. I am just glad someone else has nightmares with George Washington’s silhouette covered in shadow dongs in them.

  76. problemwithcaring says at 6:59 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Statement of fact: Both Jack Trapper and Bill Clinton put a dick in Monica Lewinsky’s mouth.

  77. SomeNYGuy says at 7:02 pm, June 11th, 2009

    problemwithcaring: But the one Tapper inserted WASN’T HIS OWN!!!!!!eleventyone!!!!!!!!

  78. FormerDCite says at 7:08 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Didn’t Obama have cheese on his burger with socialist Dijon mustard? If the Jews really control him, wouldn’t they want him to keep his meat and dairy apart? These Zionists have got to get a better handle on this.

  79. What Jake failed to mention was that the Jews control EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING ELSE TOO DUH, so his statement was basically the equivalent of saying “both James von Brunn and Rev Wright agree that President Obama is a mammal”.

  80. Holding Out for a Hero says at 7:18 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Dear Barry,

    If you will send Jake Tapper to Gitmo and have him waterboarded by Rahm, I will take one of the detainees in return. He can stay in the guest bedroom and walk the dog while I am at work.

    We won’t even have to get the permission of the Queen.

    Sincerely,

    Holding Out for a Hero!

  81. eclecticbrotha says at 7:27 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Hydrogen Barackside Hussein Obama is a radical Muslin terrist controlled by the Zionist Jews. Amen.

  82. DemmeFatale says at 7:44 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Jake: and your point is…

  83. condiments in fridge says at 7:47 pm, June 11th, 2009

    …Oh, the poor folks hate the rich folks,
    And the rich folks hate the poor folks.
    All of my folks hate all of your folks,
    Its american as apple pie.

    But during national brotherhood week, national brotherhood week,
    New yorkers love the Puerto Ricans ’cause its very chic.
    Step up and shake the hand
    Of someone you can’t stand.
    You can tolerate him if you try.

    Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics,
    And the Catholics hate the Protestants,
    And the Hindus hate the Moslems,
    And everybody hates the Jews.

    –Tom Lehrer, 1965

  86. Fear of a Black Reagan says at 8:01 pm, June 11th, 2009

    In other news, both James von Brunn and Rev. Wright have claimed the sky is up.

  87. GDuvall says at 8:06 pm, June 11th, 2009

    And by the way Jake, you know, when you’re posting these little twits? Here’s a good idea - have a POINT! It makes it SO much more interesting for the listener!

  88. NYNYNY says at 8:22 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Statement of fact: Who is Jake Tapper?

    Statement of Fact: Everyone agrees Rev. Wright eats monkey balls. At least he doesn’t shoot people.

    Fact: It is incredible reporting instincts like this that have made Jack Tapper the star reporter that he is.

  106. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 3:58 am, June 12th, 2009

    You know Jack, while your logic is infallible, I don’t think your theory will get you out of those parking tickets in DC Metro Court.

  109. I LOVE IT! Obama USED to be a Kenyan Mulsim Christian Hippie Militant Communist Socialist Facist Nazi. NOW he’s a Jew Puppet Kenyan Mulsim Christian Hippie Militant Communist Socialist Facist Nazi. He’s a smorgasbord of evil!

  110. zenferret says at 9:57 am, June 12th, 2009

    Statement of fact: Rahm is a Jew.
    Statement of fact: Jews have hair. Well except Phil Spector.
    Statement of fact: Obama has hair.
    So Obama is a Jew?

  111. finallyhappy says at 11:16 am, June 12th, 2009

    Fact- My high school VP principal in the late ‘60 was Rev. Wright’s mom(this is not a joke- any Girls High girls out there?). The whole hate Jews thing I get- everyone hates us- but “THEM JEWS”? Rev. Wright- your mom was an academic magnet HS VP- it is “THOSE JEWS”. The whole street talk thing is a bad. And Rev- if you are dumb enough to think Barack doesn’t know enough to stay away from you- your poor mom(maybe she is not alive to see this) is triply upset.

  112. Komando says at 2:40 pm, June 12th, 2009

    Hmm. I thought it was the meddling Jedis. Close enough I guess.
