    Clearly it’s a puppet regime.

  2. Clearly a puppet regime.

  3. shit

  4. Deepthroat says at 2:03 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    What the hell is Congressman Waxman doing there???

  5. Joehoya says at 2:03 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    I have this sneaking suspicion that there’s someone behind the scenes, pulling the strings.

  6. coronad0 says at 2:05 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    Thanks … now I will be unable to sleep for the next 8 nights while I imagine Muslin Puppets under my bed with miniature kitchen knives waiting for me.

    Seriously, when it comes to terrorism, that is Burqas x 10,000

  8. Morbo the Annihilator says at 2:06 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    Crab1: SayItWithWookies: Someone had to say it. You know owe each other a coke.

  9. CivicHoliday says at 2:08 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    Gah! My eyes! Old-school puppets are behind only clowns on the list of things that scare me shitless

  10. user-of-owls says at 2:11 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    I don’t remember hearing anything about Mortimer Snerd converting to Islam.

  11. Deepthroat says at 2:11 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    @ Wookies and Crab: “HEY-O!” Jinx!

  12. octupletsmom says at 2:11 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    I’ve seen this movie before…

  13. Cicada says at 2:12 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    My soul is being eaten by the ginger with the zombie eyes. And the puppet is creeping me out too. Damn you, Newell!

  14. magic titty says at 2:16 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: Crab1: Haha, you dummies!

    please kill me.

  15. IceCreamEmpress says at 2:16 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    Haudi Daoudi?

  16. Internally valid says at 2:16 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    eh. Jeff Dunham’s still not funny.

  17. And the problem with this story/photo pairing is…?

  18. S.Luggo says at 2:18 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    So many Newells, so small the blogosphere.

  19. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 2:18 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    So the Twilight Zone was right all these years: Ventriloquist Dummies are evil.

  20. Wet Work says at 2:20 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    Pupate?
    Puppet?
    Wonkette?

    Coincidence? Hmmm …

  21. ManchuCandidate says at 2:20 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    Mahmoud is Persian for Howdy Doody?

  22. user-of-owls says at 2:21 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    IceCreamEmpress: Oh no…you didn’t just do that. It hurts.

  23. dijetlo says at 2:25 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    CNN has apparently started it’s own journalism school. The graduating class looks disturbingly like Wolf Blitzer sans manscaping and the one in a sailor suit just screams “desperately gay” but all in all a distinct improvement over their current cadre of on air talent.
    Which one is going to replace Bill Bennett?

  24. Come here a minute says at 2:26 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    The next election will feature the bride of Mousavi.

  25. Monsieur Grumpe says at 2:27 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    It’s Charlie Muhammad McCartney’s family reunion otherwise known as one W C Field’s worst nightmares.

  26. SayItWithWookies says at 2:30 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    Crab1: Not only do great minds think alike, they use almost identical wording.

  27. El Pinche says at 2:30 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    Did they mistakenly post a picture of the republican caucus? (rimshot!)

  28. HipHopOpotamus says at 2:31 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    coronad0: Derka derka muhammad allah jihad

  29. proudgrampa says at 2:33 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: Crab1: You know, my twins completed each other’s sentences and other weird stuff. Any chance you two were separated at birth??

  30. Extemporanus says at 2:33 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    The guardian council has obviously been overtaken by McCarthyites.

  31. S.Luggo says at 2:37 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    IRAN TO CREATE SPECIAL COURT TO TRY ELECTION PROTESTERS
    ******
    Lindsey Graham comments that this could not have happened without the Bush Administration having led the way. Ya sucha whimp, Obama.

  32. jetjaguar says at 2:38 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    GABBO!

  33. Humpback says at 2:39 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    At least it is not a picture of the Obama daughters.

  34. norbizness says at 2:43 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    This will obviously start an international ventriloquist war reminiscent of the famous East Coast/West Coast ventriloquist conflicts.

  35. problemwithcaring says at 2:44 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    Nancy Pelosi’s never look more rested.

  36. Extemporanus says at 2:45 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    S.Luggo: Cracka also had this to say on “This Week with Gorgeous George Stephanopohplease” when asked what he thought of Obama handling of things:
    He’s been timid and passive more than I would like…”

    Hmm…

  37. freakishlystrong says at 2:49 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    jetjaguar: Judging from your Avatar to your comment, I am now officially not the only MST3K nerd out here?

  38. SayItWithWookies says at 2:51 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    S.Luggo: That’s true. Dubya led the way in creating courts without oversight or appeals that are expressly designed to convict rather than discover the truth. Asshole talks about exporting democracy and actually exports the mythical unitary executive.

  39. slappypaddy says at 2:51 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    the puppets are pulling the strings?

  40. AnnieGetYourFun says at 3:02 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    Humpback: HA! True dat.

  41. Blender says at 3:14 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    Idiots… that’s not the Iranian Guardian Council; it’s a shot of the audience from the White House Correspondent’s dinner.

  42. Hooray For Anything says at 3:30 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    Blender: I thought I saw Bill Kristol in there.

  43. wallythepug says at 3:42 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    CivicHoliday: I thought I was the only one with dual clown/puppet phobias. I’ll have to sleep with the lights on tonight.

  44. coronad0 says at 3:52 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    HipHopOpotamus: Maybe I should replace with this http://mat.ellis.name/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/clown.jpeg to take care of the puppet images.

  45. donner_froh says at 3:58 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    Candidates for the now vacant Froomkin spot on the WAPO blogs. They decided to move in another direction.

  46. bitchincamaro says at 4:23 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: Crab1: Damn you two and your duplicating machines.

  47. DirtyHarriett says at 4:43 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    So that’s what ‘Real Americans’ look like??

  48. DirtyHarriett says at 4:46 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    I find them kinda creepy, though…..

  49. Hominidx says at 5:08 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    I am completely willing to authorize bomb-bomb-bomb-bomb-bombing Iran now, green revolution be damned.

  50. AKAM80TheWolf says at 5:53 pm, June 22nd, 2009

    Hey, our very own GaySailor has got wood!

  51. 50 comments in, and no one went for the obvious marionette BUTTSECKS joke?

    I stand amazed.

  52. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 6:57 am, June 23rd, 2009

    Extemporanus: First place. Well done sir.

    Hooray For Anything: I’m pretty sure Tucker Carlson is in there also, with his bow tie back on.

  53. jetjaguar says at 9:30 am, June 23rd, 2009

    freakishlystrong: Oh I’m positive that there are others. However, my avatar is not from MST3K, so you get, like, -1 points for that, he’s from Godzilla vs. Megalon. And if you were to pronounce his name out loud, you must do so very quickly, loudly, and in the accent of a small japanese boy.

  54. The Iranian government is full of martinets or marionettes or somesuch.

    *sigh*
