Did Obama Barf On Japan’s Prime Minister?!

by Ken Layne  


Oh noes this is almost a diplomatic incident or something! Here is Barack Obama leaning ominously over the lap of Japanese Premier Taro Aso during a fancy G-8 summit dinner. White House photographer Pete Souza has surely been around long enough to remember the horrifying incident of 1992 when President George H.W. Bush vomited in the lap of Japanese premier Miyazawa Kiichi — after all, Souza was the White House photographer way back when Reagan was president. What, you don’t remember Bush 41 throwing up in his buddy’s lap? Well come on and look at the video!

Ahhhhh, Bush barf…good times indeed.

El Pinche July 9, 2009 at 1:49 pm

Yes, but his barf smells like lilac and is an anti-aging miracle cream. He Taro Aso should be so lucky.

In Japan, nothing says “You are my bitch” more than a lap full of puke.

Monsieur Grumpe July 9, 2009 at 1:50 pm

Papa Bush started a trend. In Japan it’s now considered impolite not to puke in your host’s lap.

InsidiousTuna July 9, 2009 at 1:52 pm

Gibbs is investigating any puking action with great intensity.

[re=358764]BillyClubb[/re]: Almost certainly, there is an entire Japanese subculture devoted exclusively to vomit porn.

It really looks like Barbara is trying to suffocate him. “You embarrassed me for the last time Georgie!”

dum librul July 9, 2009 at 1:53 pm

Sadly, another false start to the oft-promised release of “Two World Leaders, One Cup.”

Sarah Palin (vp@whitehouse.gov) July 9, 2009 at 1:54 pm

Hell, *I* could do that. Also.

It never gets old.

And how ’bout that dashing Kofi Annan jumping over the table to save the day?

Dolmance July 9, 2009 at 2:01 pm

I wish it had been his guts.

taylormattd July 9, 2009 at 2:01 pm

Jesus.

Couldn’t H.W. have pretended he dropped his fork or something so he could puke under the table, like a normal human?

Nasty old man.

His granddaughters could teach him a thing or two about surreptitious puking.

Lascauxcaveman July 9, 2009 at 2:02 pm

And W barfed all over, well, pretty much over the whole world, now that I think about it.

NoWireHangers July 9, 2009 at 2:03 pm

[re=358778]tehbenton[/re]: No, it never does.

Oh the Bushes. Classy all the way.

Na-ga-da-it!

rambone July 9, 2009 at 2:03 pm

Occupational hazard of rimming Babs.

taylormattd July 9, 2009 at 2:05 pm

[re=358787]rambone[/re]: Urp. Gawd, I was about to have lunch. But you do, in fact, win the thread.

Min July 9, 2009 at 2:05 pm

It was an omen, a precursor of things to come, when Bush basically threw up all over the U.S. Constitution.

But really…how could we have known?

Min July 9, 2009 at 2:06 pm

[re=358792]Min[/re]: Correction. When his son basically threw up all over the U.S. Constitution.

proudgrampa July 9, 2009 at 2:06 pm

[re=358787]rambone[/re]: Eewwwww!

PopeyesPipe July 9, 2009 at 2:08 pm

[re=358787]rambone[/re]: Holy fucking shit.

azw88 July 9, 2009 at 2:09 pm

How fucking tied to protocol about not being rude by leaving the table early do you have to be?

At least he had an excuse, sushi, sashimi, and Saki can be hard on an old man’s stomach. (seeing Barbara every night, sans make-up sure as hell doesn’t help, either). As for his son, he managed to shit on most of the rest of the world and wipe his ass on the Constitution and get re-elected afterwards. (makes you wonder just what Jeb would have to do to top the family legacy if he were elected prez)

Terry July 9, 2009 at 2:14 pm

Our Barry is too smooooooooth to throw up on a dignitary.

Extemporanus July 9, 2009 at 2:14 pm

I can’t decide whether the phrase “Barfing Bush” sounds more biblical, or more sexual.

Both?

Cogito Ergo Bibo July 9, 2009 at 2:17 pm

It looks more like he’s checking out Taro Aso’s weiner. And possibly reaching out to, er, bridge the gap between countries. “Is that your G8 or are you just happy to see me?”

jbd July 9, 2009 at 2:19 pm

Ah, it never gets old, does it? Nostalgia….

whiskey tango foxtrot July 9, 2009 at 2:19 pm

Slow news day!

[re=358787]rambone[/re]: I just meta-barfed.

Alt Text: You call that a dick?

BlueStateLibtard July 9, 2009 at 2:24 pm

Every NORMAL person would have found a way to avoid puking in another person’s lap. But the Bushes probably grew up with servants who would hold out their hands for the mess so the Bushes wouldn’t be inconvenieced by running to the toilet.

rereridiculous July 9, 2009 at 2:27 pm

[re=358769]user-of-owls[/re]: The entire Japanese culture is devoted to vomit porn.. the subcultures only degenerate from there.

user-of-owls July 9, 2009 at 2:29 pm

[re=358809]Extemporanus[/re]: We sure would’ve gotten a much more interesting version of the Ten Commandments if Moses had chatted with the Barfing Bush.

Today, we are all metaphorical cookie-tossers.

Mr Blifil July 9, 2009 at 2:39 pm

Heh, Phil Hartman at the end there. Poor Phil Hartman. Another unsuspecting schmuck shot while sleeping. Why do such things never happen to…oh never mind.

bitchincamaro July 9, 2009 at 2:40 pm

Of course we remember. And Michael Jackson was guest-anchoring for ABC back then.

SayItWithWookies July 9, 2009 at 2:46 pm

[re=358798]PopeyesPipe[/re]: That’s what she said.

(Sorry, couldn’t help it.)

Extemporanus July 9, 2009 at 2:47 pm

The image of an ominously fantastical and impossibly hairy vagina vomiting forth commandments—“Thou shall hold your womankind’s hair”, “Thou shall purge if thou binge”, “Though shall not say ‘I just threw-up in my mouth, just a little bit’”, “Thou shall not let a little puke interfere with an unfinished cockgagging”—is an inspiring one to which I shall now reverently fap with the utmost of queasy devotion.

Extemporanus July 9, 2009 at 2:48 pm

[re=358873]SayItWithWookies[/re]: That’s what she said, also.

Dave J. July 9, 2009 at 2:48 pm

[re=358787]rambone[/re]: I just puked. Not a little, not in my mouth.

shortsshortsshorts July 9, 2009 at 2:50 pm

Bush 41 was so much more eloquent then Bush 43.

davesnothere July 9, 2009 at 2:53 pm

Now the truth can be told: like careful examination of the Zapruder film, this historical evidence gives up its secrets. With improved technologies we can now clearly see that Bar, having lured the old a-hole out of the country, takes advantage of the moment to chloroform his ass, and replace him with a space alien. When Bizarro-Poppy stands up, grinning sheepishly, the coup-d’etat is complete.
This was necessary because Poppy was going all conscience soft about Marvin and Neil stealing billions for the fam in the S&L scam. If he was queasy about that, Bar knew he’d be trouble with the bigger plan, to just totally take down the entire US treasury through wars and shit.

…and Babs is so great for staying calm and getting a napkin. Good god.

[re=358809]Extemporanus[/re]: To me, it’s a new spin on the Mulberry Bush– a place where kids go to blow chunks (so early in the morning).

nightshift July 9, 2009 at 2:59 pm

Was that the anchor that said “what the fuck are you doing” while live? Just to divert this thread in another entertaining direction…

4tehlulz July 9, 2009 at 3:00 pm

You know, in Bush’s defense, he did just see his first bit of tentacle hentai, so his vomiting is understandable.

Extemporanus July 9, 2009 at 3:01 pm

[re=358885]Smoke Filled Roommate[/re]: Blow chunks = fellate fatsos?

rereridiculous July 9, 2009 at 3:03 pm

[re=358855]user-of-owls[/re]: The Japanese are as transparent as W compared to the literary genus Demint.

magic titty July 9, 2009 at 3:07 pm

[re=358787]rambone[/re]: Dear god man. That was wholly umpleasant.

greywindz July 9, 2009 at 3:26 pm

[re=358766]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: Can that be termed Poppy overdose?

June Cleaver 2.0 July 9, 2009 at 3:27 pm

[re=358787]rambone[/re]: Rambone, I have no idea what you said, even though now I think I’m making good guesses.

finallyhappy July 9, 2009 at 3:27 pm

I’m pretty sure B is showing his magical all powerful karate chop to the Premier.

Maxfretless July 9, 2009 at 5:14 pm

Don’t the Japanese also have vending machines that sell vomit stained schoolgirl panties? It truly is an ancient and profound culture.

Pithaughn July 9, 2009 at 5:49 pm

[re=358829]BlueStateLibtard[/re]: Maybe he saw Mr.Creosote the night before on the hotel pay per view? “Call over the cleaning lady for Mr. Creosote!!”

[re=358787]rambone[/re]: UGH. I vote Rambone be henceforth banned. Not just from the Wonkette comments, but from the human race.

Pithaughn July 9, 2009 at 5:54 pm

So SNL was mean to Palin? She’s lucky Carvey is guy who almost does not look like a woman. Imagine Carvey going all Church Lady on Palin.

Neilist July 9, 2009 at 9:00 pm

Bush Senior had his problems.

But puking on the Japanese PM was not one of them. Indeed, it should happen more often.

“It seems like only yesterday I was strafing so many of your homes. Here I am today, begging you not to make such good cars.”

Hot Shots, Part Deux. (Possibly the funniest film ever made.)

Quasi July 10, 2009 at 2:39 am

That was an old naval tradition (Papa Bush was a Naval flier) that dates back to the 18th Century, as noted in the 1811 edition of Captain Grose’s Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue.
