John Boehner Doesn’t Want The Red Pill OR The Blue Pill: He Wants His Usual Horse Tranquilizer

by Riley Waggaman  4:57 pm July 24, 2009

  • John Boehner has yet to talk to a doctor who thinks his skin in a natural, healthy color. [Think Progress]
  • Yes yes, so Barack Obama used “red pill” and “blue pill” in the same sentence, which all you cultured assholes think is just so funny and ironic. Jesus Lord. Are you upset the Wachowski brothers didn’t brief Obama on health care or something? [RedState]
  • Like all the other 6-foot-5 giants in the world, Matthew Yglesias is a happy man. Don’t forget the little guys, Matt! [Matt Yglesias]
  • Andrew Sullivan is still “on holiday” which means the Daily Dish is still an icanhascheezburger RSS feed. [Andrew Sullivan]
  • So just how bad was yesterday? You remember. You were there. It sucked. [TPM]

The AMA–Curing (sometimes) and screwing (mostly) its patients since 1947!

It’s the weekend — now go out there and roll a dildo in glitter!

Red pill, blue pill. Just don’t take the brown acid!

A Congresscritter actually talking to someone who doesn’t have the exact same opinion has he/she/it does? Riley, you big silly.

So, an orthodontist has a teddy bear with dentures? Big deal.

My court ordered sex therapist has a pedobear with vagina dentata.

Huh, I could swear I saw Andrew Sullivan on a flight from Christchurch to Sydney earlier this week – I would’ve gone up and asked if it was him, but then I’d have to admit in public I knew what Andrew Sullivan looks like.

Blue pill was from Total Recall staring Gov Schwartzawhatever. Red pill? Help me with this.

Extemporanus July 24, 2009 at 6:26 pm

[re=370520]m_supercomputer[/re]: Would it have made it more or less embarrassing to have only recognized him from behind?

Kingbee July 24, 2009 at 6:32 pm

Combine the Red Pill and the Blue Pill and you get the Purple Pill, which gives you a Boehner!

[re=370520]m_supercomputer[/re]: Evidently he likes hobbits and sheep.

I find Andrew Sullivan without Andrew Sullivan to be much more measured and interesting than the usual fare of him masturbating to pictures of bloodied torture victims and political protesters.

Boehner has the exact same color as the smeg from a half empty bottle of beer that has 3-5 cigarette
butts floating in it.

Riley, why do you and TPM hate our happiness? Is it our Democray? Is that it?

Besides:

[re=370522]Paul Tardy[/re]: Its from The Matrix.

Take the blue pill and see how far down the rabbit hole goes. Or Just have some “shrooms”.

Fun fact: The Wachowski Brothers and Michelle Obama went to the same high school!

If Matthew Yglesias is 6’5, I’m Yao Ming.

Boehner speaks only to Doctors of Veternary Medicine, who are pissed that gerbils will not be covered under a national health plan. Gerbils are pissed too, particularly the one trying to squirm its way out of Leather Face’s lower colon.

Sunfire July 25, 2009 at 10:42 pm

Matthew Yglesias fails at statistics and should become a pirate to reduce global warming.

I was listening to All Things Considered (because I am a Liberal and a Jew so I am required to listen to it). They were talking about Orange John and pronounced his name “Bay-ner”. Wonkette staff- please call them and tell them to correct it to the proper “BONER”

All the brothers understand that red pill and blue pill are Black Panther code words for “nows the time to kill whitey”.
