FOX News tracked down Bill Rice, some guy who up until yesterday had ten fingers and now he does not, all thanks to the public option. As it turns out, we all dodged a bullet with this guy who could, if he so desired, easily, easily stand to gain from this whole ordeal a reality show, a 15,000 profile in Vanity Fair (as told to Willow Palin and William Langewiesche), and the VP slot on the 2012 GOP ticket. Plus, BONUS common decency cred for telling the FOX anchor that having your hand eaten doesn’t make you a hero, it makes you a highly medicated guy with nine fingers.
Anyway, Bill Rice is happy to answer your questions about his finger and the man who is currently digesting it! Let’s summarize these important points, together.
Q. Where is the cannibal? Is he at large?
A. He is at large and probably getting hungry again.
Q. Who started it?
A. The nine-fingered guy started punching the finger-eater because the latter called the former an “idiot,” an antiquated slur directed towards people with ten-fingers.
Q. Couldn’t the doctors just re-attach the pinky?
A. No. The bacteria from the finger-eater’s mouth had compromised the health of the digit.
Q. Bill Rice, man of nine-fingers, you will sue the flesh demon, yes? For such is the American way!
A. Nah.
Here is the 20 point essay question: It is entirely incidental, is it not, that the finger-biter and the former finger-haver happen to disagree on issues of health care policy? In no way is this a WIN for any side, because it is a BIG LOSE for all humans everywhere? Please use complete sentences and six of the seven vocabulary words from lesson four.
This little piggy went to townhall.
This little piggy wisely stayed at home.
This little piggy had some healthcare
This little piggy had none.
This little piggy got bit off by a fucking psycho at a townhall so he cried wee wee wee all the way to the hospital where they charged Uncle Sam $7000.
Did the biter gain the courage of the finger, as some cultures would have us believe?
Adds new meaning to the expression “gave him the finger.”
Mama said: “Don’t go sticking things in people’s mouths. They may get bitten off.”
Words to live by.
He forgot the face and genitals.
Sincerely,
The Chimps
Asshole has fingers made of “rice” and sticks them in my fucking mouth. What was I supposed to do?
No sympathy here!
The biter did gramps a favor. No more worrying about trimming that nail. Probably had a nasty fungus growing on it anyway.
Oh irony. He’s on medicare. I hope medicare refuses to pay. No free rides or socialism for you Mr. 9 fingers.
Butterfingers is just an expression, dumbshit.
Today, we are all nine-fingered old men.
Holy Cow!![re=402639] ManchuCandidate: [/re]: yes, indeed!
William Rice’s trip to the emergency room was covered by Medicare, said Steven Mikulan in LA Weekly.

Holy Cow!!: Having 10 fingers is a pre-existing condition for losing one of them. Also.
I stopped eating other people’s digits when I realized you could get the swine that way.
If they both had guns this guy never would have lost his finger.
I keep feeling grossed out every time I imagine that the biter actually had to chomp down on that nasty thing (who knows where it had been!) and then have it in his mouth before spitting it on the ground.
But also, how cool of a story is that? I hope he tells his grandkids someday. “Yeah, he got his pinky right between my back molars, so what could I do? I CHOMPED right THROUGH THE BONE (grandkids squeal in delight) and then all that blood filled my mouth, it tasted like pennies! So I SPAT it on the ground and just cold walked away. And that’s how we did it back in the day, kids.”
His nickname should be Chompers.
I love how Fox news puts it “A guy advocating for Obama’s health plan” bit your ‘freakin’ finger off…”
Well, Obama is a half-muslin commie from Africa, and everyone knows they’re cannibals.
Uh and hey, bonus? Maybe they’ll be a bit more hesitant to show their asses at town hall meetings?
We can only hope that they have all learned the lesson of Nine Fingers.
marioninnyc: No need to include that the Bitter initiated physical violence and punched him twice! THAT’S A FAR-LEFT FACT.
Heh I also like how throughout the segment Neil’s producers can’t help but laugh off-camera at this guy’s plight.
Advocatus_Diaboli: heard that on NPR this a.m. The biter should have taken a few more fingers.
Lesson to Olds on Medicare. Quit going to healthcare reform rallies and protesting healthcare for the rest of us. Next time, it won’t be no stinkin’ pinky, assholio.
Q: Sir, because Obama’s health care prevented you from getting your finger,
how will you toss anyone’s salad now?
A: I dont know..my life is over..*Sniff*
It was on his left hand which is The Devils Hand! so now he is now twenty percent less evil. This should help him gain entry into heaven which, at his age, could be any minute now.
“Do you know him?”
“Not socially. His name’s Jaws. He kills people.”
You know, the biter must have a fairly good dental plan.
These two guys are going to have some amazing make-up sex this weekend.
What about the poor biter? Afterall, he had this dude’s booger spoon/sphinter scratcher in his mouth. Nas-Tee.
“I’m Gonna Find You….” Ca-Reepy!
Also, if you hit a guy with your left fist, a pinky goes in his mouth and your punch closes the jaw with force, could you not punch your own finger off? Just sayin.
Highlight of the interview:
Cavuto: How are you doing right now? Are you in any pain?
Guy-who-could-be-confused-for-murderer-of-Inigo-Montaya’s-father-but-in-the-opposite-way: No, I’m medicated right now. I can’t fucking feel my face.
Jesus, when is that rapture thing going to happen so we can raise the overall IQ of the planet.
Let’s think this one over from the biter’s point of view.
You have a political dispute with a guy. He doesn’t like what you believe, so he punches you. Hard. Twice. Should you be required to walk away meekly, face bruised or bleeding? Or should you man up, like John Wayne would have done, and cause the puncher some pain?
In short, should you be a whimpy liberal and do nothing, or a courageous conservative and bite the finger?
Did Cavuto say “Were you able to finger the guy who did this to you?”. And if he didn’t, why not?
Thank goodness there was no chomping down during the Teabagging demonstrations…
I smell the next Dead movie. Someone get George Romero on the case ASAP.
I’m pretty sure this guy said once in his life, “Man, I’d give my little finger to be famous for any reason whatsoever someday.”
Someone dust off the MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner for this jack sauce.
So much for pussy liberals. Punch us in the face, we’ll bite your fucking finger off.
From now on, I will wave my fingers in the air and bare my teeth at any wingnuts who get too close.
freakishlystrong: perfect
“Bite the Finger.” Hilarious. It sounds like “fight the power.”
Nurtz: I’m pretty sure the choice of “walk away meekly” and “maim someone” is a false dichotomy.
Mmm…dick.
JadedDIssonance: if you hit a guy with your left fist, a pinky goes in his mouth and your punch closes the jaw with force, could you not punch your own finger off?
See? That’s just what Mike Tyson said that time Holyfield wouldn’t stop smacking him in the face with his ear!
New Bumper Sticker:
My Socialist Dental Plan Can Bite Your Kid’s Dad’s Finger Off
See, Barry? You bite their fucking fingers off, they start to show some respect.
We leftist healthcare reform advocates call it “long pig.”
JadedDIssonance: could you not punch your own finger off?
It’s better to leave those sorts of metaphysical questions to the experts, like Mark Trail.
weirdest part is right at the end when Cavuto says “I’m goin’ find you…”
and what? take a punch at him and get your finger bitten off?
I’m going to miss the batshit crazy health care carnival of august ought nine… wait, no I’m not.
Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. I’m looking for the man with nine fingers who killed us with his joke about keeping government out of hid Medicare.
The nine fingered guy is probably just thanking his lucky stars it didn’t happen in a mens-room stall and he had some other “fleshy appendage” in the biter’s mouth. After all, he’s still got nine of ten left, whereas it could have been “one and done.”
Hi there fellow libtards. Here is my latest strategy, start asking all your conservative, bible thumper, old, fat , white friends and aquaintences questions about guns and ammo. It goes something like this ” I am concerned that all the hate rhetoric from (insert famous pundit here, Bachman , Beck , Cheney who ever )will send some psycho over the edge and assasinate the President. If that happens all the coloreds will riot and I will need some protection, so what is the best gun and ammo for that purpose? And how do I get a concealed carry permit? ”
See, this will spread the message that libtards are to be feared because they might eat, shoot and leave. Like a Panda, sort of.
This is how health care is going to be decided - Mr. Nine Finger here against Mr. Nine-and-a-half Finger (Rahm Emanuel).
Handicapper’s tip: The half-finger (and the psychotic temperament) give Emanuel the edge.
ann coulter will not like the fact that right-wingers , too , can get hurt , when they piss people off . won’t think it’s fair …………..
Bitter vs. Biter! Without a pinky, this poor guy won’t be able to hold his cup properly at the next tea party.
Is the biter’s name Smeagol/Gollum?
“And then a minstrel of Gondor stepped forth and begged leave to sing… ‘Listen all ye, and I shall tell you the tale of Nine-Fingered Bill Rice and the Health Care Bill of Doom.”
Scruffy_The_Janitor: He can still toss salad, he just can’t administer the shocker.
badmuthagoose: WORD
Monsieur Grumpe: yeah, truly. ‘Tis no trivial thing to bite through bone! I still have trouble seeing this actually happening. Could it be a hoax?
WhatTheHeck: This reminds me of my favorite scene in Harlem Nights:
-Oh, so now you gonna shoot me in my pinky toe?
-I am not playing with you, Vera. I will blow that gnarled, black, little dead crusty motherfucka the fuck off ya foot. You will be the 9-toe-havingness, limpingness bitch in Harlem if you don’t quit playing with me, now put the razor away.
In response to “idiot,” this dumbass forgot that in Shakespeare’s time, you bit your OWN finger at someone else.
From Resivior Dogs (I’m paraphrasing)
Mr. White: “If he won’t tell you what you want to know, cut of one of his fingers…the little one. And tell him his thumb is next. He’ll tell you if he wears ladies underwear.”
Well? We’re waiting.
problemwithcaring: Hahaha! Yes, things always boil down to the simple logic in Harlem Nights. “Kiss my ass! Suga!”
Calling someone an idiot is not illegal and you can’t sue someone because their teeth cut your fist when you hit them in the mouth.
Good Lord Cavuto is stupid.
Medicare should start behaving like the fine, upstanding icons of the American Spirit (TM), the private insurance companies, and rather than pay for the hospital stay, find an excuse to drop coverage. Where’s his long-form birth certificate?
“No, sir, I’m not a litigious person.”
Just violent.
If the MSM had better writers, it would go something like this:
“You want a finger? I can get you a finger, believe me. There are ways, Olberman. You don’t wanna know about it, believe me.”
And. Also.
“Who’s the fucking nihilist here? What are you, a bunch of fucking crybabies?”
The question that needs to be asked of this guy:
You punched the guy in the face…You punched the guy in the face again—and he bit your finger off…If he hadn’t bitten your finger off, how many more times would you have punched him in the face?…If he answers: “Until he bit my finger off.”…Well then, what do we do then…
A Pox on both their houses…
This has truly been a Nigga Moment for Our Time.
Biting off a fellow citizen’s finger when you disagree with him politically is the highest form of patriotism.
You wanna know how you do it? Here’s how, they throw a punch, you bite off a finger, they pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That’s the Thousand Oaks way…
Sick Puppy: I like this…It’s the old Don Drysdale rule: “You hit one of my players, and I’ll hit two of yours…You hit another one, I’ll hit two more…
norbizness: Not unless he eated it…
this teabagger is going to have a problem remembering how to give all them libruls “the middle finger” now. Frankly I don’t think he will be able to figure it out.
marioninnyc: I love how Neal seems so disappointed.
“What?! You don’t want to eat this man’s children and wear their intestines like a feather boa as our Lord and Savior Jebus H. Kleist commands of all U.S.Americans!?”
“Mmm. No, Neal.”
“Well, then can I eat them for you?”
Oh, fine. Now I’m hungry.
This dumb fuck is lucky he got off with a tip of a finger missing. Some of us really do not take too kindly to random assholes hitting them and could do some real damage.
Searching for the mad Health-biter? Just look for somebody who just caught arthritus on his lips.
You’d have to be crazy running around biting every blue-hair that punches you.
They carry diseases and bugs and fungus and everything else, yeeeech just the thought of it.
Healthfinger
There has been no reference in this thread to “Frodo of the Nine Fingers and the Ring of Doom”, or of Sméagol/Gollum.
It was liberals who invented the Shocker. So this dude’s not missing a thing.
“What did you do with your pinky?”
“I left it at the hospital. I thought about bringing it home and stir-frying it with a side of fava beans and a nice chianti.”
PUT THE FUCKING LOTION IN THE BASKET!
