Lame White House Abandons ‘Enemies List’

The Politico has been goin’ around the Internet telling people that America’s beloved Enemies List, where you could sign up your friends for free torture sessions in Bagram — the greatest birthday gift of all — is dead. Your Wonkette has verified this. There is now some website called “Reality Check,” which is just Andrew Sullivan’s blog. First the pubic option, now the Enemies List… by tomorrow morning, he’ll have repealed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. [Politico]

    Along with ‘pulling the plug’ on the Enemies List, when will Obama pull the plug on Grandpa Chuck Grassley?

    Dammit!

    I was just about to email B.O. my enemies list in order to free up my weekend.

  3. The Station Manager says at 2:10 pm, August 17th, 2009

    Great. Now what the hell am I supposed to do with this here pitchfork and torch?

  4. This would be the Pubic Enemas List?

  5. Gopherit says at 2:12 pm, August 17th, 2009

    But…..how will the FEMA trains know where to stop?

    This White House is not exactly Nixonian. If the birthers keep up their tirade for another week or two we might see Obama-Barry-Gwyneth admit he really was born in Iceland or one of those other over-there kind of places.

  7. Poopley J. Crandleberry says at 2:17 pm, August 17th, 2009

    Its okay folks,

    now report enemies to new secret list at BarryS@whitehouse.enemieslist.gov

  8. Country Club Jihadi says at 2:20 pm, August 17th, 2009

    Try fag@whitehouse.gov just to see who gets it.

  9. June Cleaver 2.0 says at 2:23 pm, August 17th, 2009

    Now this post would make even Obama laugh.

  10. SayItWithWookies says at 2:31 pm, August 17th, 2009

    The WWF asked Rahm Emanuel to stop the enemies list because it was too much of a strain on the world’s fisheries.

  11. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 2:34 pm, August 17th, 2009

    This just shows how Obama hates freedom. Iranians have the freedom to send their enemies list to Ahmedinijad, and they get results.

  12. Obama is such a pussy. Every time the wingtards put up a stink about any of their stupid little conspiracy theories, he caves. He needs to shank one of the just to get his credibility back.

  13. Rodney Badger says at 2:45 pm, August 17th, 2009

    What made you think Obama would accept email from the laughing stock of Twitter?

  14. They can’t shut that down. I’ve had a great time turning in people who annoyed me. I still have some names on my list, too!

  15. Hooray For Anything says at 3:02 pm, August 17th, 2009

    Terry: I spent all weekend working on my list and now it was just a waste of time. I totally had enough information on my ex-boss to get her sent to a FEMA camp for sure.

    Spike: I’m trying to think of it more as a “Jesus Fucking Christ, let the babies have their bottle” move.

  16. likeafox says at 3:02 pm, August 17th, 2009

    oooh, what a fun site. Now I can watch sexy Obama staffers explain why they totally need to kill my grandmother and disable child. For America!

  17. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 3:03 pm, August 17th, 2009

    Country Club Jihadi: George Stephanapolous is going to be mighty pissed that you gave out his email addy.

  18. Chickensmack says at 3:15 pm, August 17th, 2009

    Let’s see… he’s also covering up torture evidence from the previous administration, and he’s sold out twice on the warrantless wiretapping issue.

    Tell me exactly, why, again, I shouldn’t vote for Michelle Bachmann/Turn’er Over in 2012? At least a mandate from Jesus will get more fucking traction than Barry will.

  19. AnnieGetYourFun says at 3:16 pm, August 17th, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: Why drag Randy Orton into this?

  20. Oh, sure. It’s fine when a white Republican has an enemies list, but let a black Democrat try to carry on the tradition, and it’s suddenly a problem.

    I smell racism!

  21. shadowMark says at 3:25 pm, August 17th, 2009

    AnnieGetYourFun: Because all those guys are as fishy as you can get. That’s why the pandas took away their letters.

  22. Politico: “White House ‘failed permanently’ reports important political blog!”

  23. Atheist Nun says at 4:03 pm, August 17th, 2009

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw. Another burning torch is extinguished.

    The (r)epublican Debate Cowards© will just have to whip their foaming-at-the-mouth yahoos into a frenzy over something else… how about: Obama is secretly a member of the Illuminati? No, too obscure. Um… Obama is building up an army of aliens from the UFOs that landed in the backyard of the White House? Naw, that’s so 1999. Oh, I know: Obama’s birth certificate was printed on the tender, newly tanned flesh of 17 white babies who were sacrificed to Satan, their blood drained to provide a warming bath for our Infant Demon Overlord as his delicate young demon horns were filed down to give him the appearance of a human child.

    (r)epublican Debate Cowards©
    We’ll do or say anything that keeps us far, far away from having an honest debate, because we all cheated in high school.

    Ten bucks says the email account got so overloaded with mail from wingnuts screaming about the communist enemies list that the WH decided fuck it, it ain’t worth the trouble.

  25. hobospacejunkie says at 7:26 pm, August 17th, 2009

    White House pussies cave again. By this time next year I expect Obama to have ceded the White House to Chuck Grassley and the Senate Dems to have turned over the Senate to Mitch McConnell, just in case he was offended by anything the Dems did.

  26. Robert Zimmerframe says at 1:01 am, August 18th, 2009

    I’ma send mine to the WWF Anemones List from now on.
