USS John McCain To Nuke George Will

by Ken Layne  

  • Michele Bachmann, Joe Lieberman, Sarah Palin, the Washington Post op-ed section and New York City all spent the past week being complete assholes. [Paul Slansky]
  • Even if you look like some big bald chipmunk-cheeked giant baby — you know, John McCain — that doesn’t mean you will necessarily lose elections, like John McCain loses elections. [Alex Pareene]
  • John McCain’s girlfriend Lindsey Graham went on a Sunday news-chat show and started lisping about John McCain’s dumb criticisms of Obama’s cool handling of the crazy Iran situation, and George Will said, “You, Lindsey Graham, are a pathetic old fool.” [Think Progress]
  • John McCain is such a belligerent jackhole for making his idiotic, dangerous comments about how if HE somehow had become president, he would make sure that whole Iranian democratic revolution crashed as quickly as every plane he ever piloted … or so says Peggy Noonan, anyway. [Wall Street Journal]
  • An actual Navy destroyer ship called the “USS John McCain” has gone rogue and will soon attack North Korea, to get back at Charlie for good this time. [Fox News]

The Washington Post editorial pages is quickly becoming the Marxist International Vanguard Quarterly except for neocons… you know what I’m talking about: that place where the last few remaining adherents to a long dead, long forgotten, ideology gather to publish jargon-laden tracts that seem blissfully unaware that what they have to say is little more than a quaint, if anachronistic echo of debates that were all the rage so many, many years ago, but no one outside a miniscule circle of ossified scholars (most of whom are on the editorial board) has taken seriously in decades.

Seriously though, perhaps WaPo should get fight it out with Pravda to figure out who’s more irrelevant?

I feel moved to speak on two points: Lindsey Graham is a fucktard, and on that Sunday chat-show he was again spinning the fabrication that Obama was being “timid and passive” on the situation in Iran.

My second point is that George Will made sense on Yiorgo’s Obtuse Table today and that means trouble. Additionally, the fact that Reich agreed with Will on healthcare means the rapture is imminent.

mollymcguire June 21, 2009 at 9:37 pm

“He’s been timid and passive more than i would like,” (Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-Closet)) said of Obama.

I guess I was wrong about Lindsey. I always thought he was a bottom.

It’s Sunday and it’s Father’s Day. Why are you working, Mr. Ken Layne?

Also, Graham. Effeminate.

Phew! Ms. Noonington had me worried for a sec…she was actually making sense for the first 2/3 of that article, but finished off with a rant about how Twitter and Google’s names are inappropriate historically and future innovators should be more thoughtful. thanks for not totally abandoning the crazy, Peggs.

Good Morning, Wonketteers!

Since rouge US Anti-President John S. McWalnut (R-Fail) is determined to start his long delayed WARGASM before his ‘missle’ falls off from age and disuse, perhaps the rest of us can prepare for the coming carnage by playing a few rounds of Amateur Surgeon – it’s almost as good as a EMT course, and so much quicker!

chascates June 21, 2009 at 11:01 pm

I call on all teevee moderators to ask any show guest who is no longer in office, or who has made the same remarks in the past two weeks, or who is running for future office:

“You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?”

Let us have a round table of of working people, or the unemployed, or the retired rather than give any more weight to those whose ideas are meant to serve only their own agendas rather than the nation.

And let us have legalized cannabis and the public flogging of Rush Limbaugh.

Obama could do a lot more to assist the Iranians:

– Encourage the early release of Twitter 2.0 Beta
– Fly Blackberries into Iran tied to little balloons.
– Free Flickr PRO ™ accounts for EVERYONE in Iran
– Moolah for Mullahs II
– Get a Fatwah ordering everyone in Iran to upgrade to IE 8.0
– Give a speech on Iranian TV: I-ran we can!
– Spread a rumor that Ahmaddinnajhad has Herpes
– Revoke their international centrifuge operator’s license

Are Noonan and Will joining our side?
We’ll accept Peggy. She’s fun. George, not so much.

Hmmm…rusty ol’ North Korean freighter versus an 8900-ton Arleigh Burke -class destroyer that can do 30-plus knots at flank speed and armed with 90 ASROC missiles and 5-inch main gun? Uh huh, that’s a confrontation the NK skipper would want to avoid, so good luck with that.

[re=344122]CivicHoliday[/re]: Oh, she goes off the rails well before that. I think that you just succumbed to Noonan hypnosis before you noticed, though. Look, she says this:

If the American president, for reasons of prudence, does not make a public statement of the government’s stand, he could certainly refer, as if it is an obvious fact because it is an obvious fact, to whom the American people are for.

C’mon — it’s like Henry James arguing with himself. Is there a simpler way of expressing Ms. Noonan’s thought? How ’bout, “President Obama should say who he supports.” But no, that wouldn’t be roundabout enough.

hobospacejunkie June 22, 2009 at 3:23 am

[re=344143]mrsixinch[/re]: I get so turned on when you talk like that. Moar pleeze.

[re=344126]chascates[/re]: Instead of a public flogging of El Rushbo I call instead for a public tickling. You flog him he only becomes a martyr for the brain-challenged. You tickle him and everyone will see what a big fat baby he is, crying, saying uncle, doing anything to make it stop. Whatever respect he now commands will vanish instantly.

[re=344117]x111e7thst[/re]: A quick image search of Natalia Vodianova implies that she is not a big fan of clothing. If Putin concentrated on creating more of this type of export the Russian economy wouldn’t be subject to the ups and downs of the price of oil.

[re=344147]SayItWithWookies[/re]: So you’re saying Our Peggs is paid by the word?

SayItWithWookies June 22, 2009 at 3:57 am

[re=344150]hobospacejunkie[/re]: Just that she’s incapable of being direct. In this case, because she can barely bring herself to state that President Obama took the right position. She buries that statement in the middle of her essay, then quickly counteracts it with a “he made a mistake,” referencing something I’ve not heard. Well — she reached across the aisle for that ten seconds — shame on the Democrats for not reacting in the spirit of bipartisanship.

hobospacejunkie June 22, 2009 at 4:16 am

[re=344151]SayItWithWookies[/re]: I understand Peggy’s inability to say in 5 words what she can say in 55. I’m not sure if it’s considered a talent, but it’s something special.

I was trying to conjure the memory of a William Shatner appearance on SNL (12/20/1986) where he takes questions from a group of convention attendees whose brains he just cannot get through to. They take the wrong idea from his every pronouncement. So I was trying to show that I was taking the wrong idea from your earlier explanation, and not understanding the Pegginess of Pegg. Of course, this falls under the “if you have to explain the joke…”

And now it is very late. Until the morning.

SlipperyDick June 22, 2009 at 4:33 am

Lindsey Graham is NOT John McCain’s girlfriend. He’s McCain’s magical pony.

Does this woman have performance incentives in her contract that give her extra money for the most egregious overuse of commas in a single sentence?

x111e7thst June 22, 2009 at 7:26 am

In addition to the clothing-averse moddles Pravda provides important information such as:
Beheaded human body can stay alive and kicking!
Invisible poisonous skyfish fly at 300 km/h all around us. (This explains so much)
Greenland to become 51st state of the US.
An important slideshow of the most horrific bone fractures in soccer. (Are you paying attention here Hobo?)

All this plus tons of ads for the Russian Military Industrial Complex.

Who could resist?
