The *Good* News Is That These Two Probably Have Swine Flu Now

Well holy jesus shit. We didn’t know Chris Cillizza was a sociopath too! It sure infects everyone, at that newspaper, doesn’t it now. Also: way to go guys, at the end there, mocking Lee Fisher for being shirtless in a YouTube that was “circulating” last week! Maybe you should have mentioned that the clip is a moment of candor from a 2006 campaign documentary, and that it makes sense in that context. Or just keep postin’ that wacky video of the shirtless Democrat Lieutenant Governor from Ohio! The smear folks who cut the clip for YouTube and e-mailed it anonymously to every blogger will appreciate your efforts. Enjoy Swine Flu, boys! [YouTube]

It appears as if the East German Stephen Colbert Cloning Project had some contamination in the DNA samples.

I think we can all sleep soundly, knowing that the Washington Post has just now — in 2009 — has found their answer for SNL’s Weekend Update, circa 1993.

dear sweet jesus give me back my 4.04 minutes.

Smoking jackets or WaPo prom tuxes? Either way, FAIL.

I’m sensing a pig theme.

How can anyone get elected to high office when they can’t speak proper English?
Oh never mind.
Nuclear also.

But that shirtless video is teh lols. “Late For the Sky”, too awesome. Just because, like the candidate, Newell has a fondness for nude blogging doesn’t mean it is normal, or isn’t funny.

Did anyone else expect to see white powder come billowing out of that envelope at the end and secretly wish it was Anthrax?

Yeah, these guys are at a similar place in the cultural curve as MC Steele. It might have been funny/edgy in the late 1980s. That newspaper thingy is dead in the water.

I am reading a book about the Holocaust. It is funnier than this.

Trace June 24, 2009 at 3:43 pm

That made me sad.

I almost feel sorry for these guys when they/if they read the comments on that video. They must have thought that this was funny or clever enough to spend the time filming and editing it and at no point during this process did anyone realize what an utter, joyless time suck it was.

This same sort of fugue must have fallen over everyone involved in the filming and production of Ultraviolet.

Chris C. should know better. With his double set of teeth (dentures?), he has the look and voice made for the printed page.

These boys are gonna be in a peck of trouble when Mrs Graham gets back from the Vineyard.

I can’t stand seeing Cillitha on the teevee. That horrible lisping thing he’s got going on distracts me from listening to the oral turds floating out of his mouth. When I do manage to focus on what he’s actually saying he never says anything but “that’s a good question, Keith” and then repeats conventional wisdom. He doesn’t have an analytical bone in his body. I have no idea why he is employed, or why KO has him on his show. He is utterly devoid of insight, and obviously was born without a sense of humor also.

I keep trying to think of something snarky to say, but the overwhelming douchebaggery is suffocating my brain. That the Post’s board decided to give this a go but shitcan Froomkin makes me hope they all get syphilis and die watching their genitals rot off.

I hope Cilizza gets anus-destroying hemorrhoids, also.

Finally catching up on all the youtubes that were posted here over the last week. But this one? Painful, painful, painful. What’s the point of Washington Post nonsense I can’t even wrap fish in or line birdcages with?
