In the secret quiet of labor Day Weekend, the White House fired black person Van Jones, who had some administration position related to “green jobs.” The White House confirmed that Jones was out “early Sunday,” which is right now. Why did this Van Jones get axed? Because wingnuts were angry about ….
Uh, let’s see, he said something they didn’t like at one point, in the past, before they’d ever heard of him. Wise Latinas, probably? No! He called Republicans “assholes.” Which is true! [AP/NBC Washington]
Well, I guess Van Jones, like a clock, is correct twice:
1. Republicans are “assholes’
2. You don’t see black kids shooting up or blowing up schools.
You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.
Can’t say I saw this one coming, at all. Personally, I always thought Van was exceptionally smug, but that has no bearing on anything. lol Calling Republicans ‘assholes’, though, is rather nice, no?
Sorry, I just typed four sentences, none which connect to the other. I apologize and promise to come with the snark down the road.
Someone needs to tell Barack Obama that you’re not supposed to bring a white flag to a gunfight.
BTW, can Politico get a fucking life, already? I thought I hated Huffington Post, but The Politico has finally proven itself to be a waste of bandwith. As if there weren’t enough wingnut outlets that could have ran this story of the GOP calling for an advisors head, right?
Politico is proof that you can, indeed, out-Fox Fox.
LoweredPeninsula: “Finally”? You mean the way they’re a megaphone for the raving lunatic right and the Beltway insiders who support it took a while to…sink in? Manifest itself? Just got worse?
Politico has been a right wing joke every time I tried to read it, which was a total of about three times, over its lifetime.
Oh, and one more thing. When is that sorry-shit Ensign, who boned his married campaign staffer and then had mummy and father pay off the entire damn family, going to resign? If they want to play this war of attrition, we should actually play, ourselves. Every single time want to scream about a Democrat and/or liberal, or what offends Republicans, if I were Obama I’d hold a short press conference, and repeat “Foley, DeLay, Craig, Ensign, Pickering, Sanford, Fossella, Vitter…” again and again and again until the cameramen and journalists got bored or freaked out and left.
Man, you just KNOW the Republicans have known about all about this guy since the day he joined the administration and were just waiting for the right time (ie; sandwiched in between Health Care Reform and brainwashing the youth of America) to unleash his strange on self-righteous-red-baiting-Caucasian-Middle America through the “impartial” medium of the AP and the rest of the MSM.
Silly, immature, Drudge induced fear and innuendo has been their MO for the last 12 years and will continue to be their MO as long as their are still paranoid morons out there to be frightened.
Well, uhm, “Do whatever the Wingnuts demand and hope that they’ll be nice afterwards” DOES have the word “hope” in it.
If I had known that that’s what it meant though I wouldn’t have gotten my, you know, hopes up. Ah well.
Say some stupid things, and you should be fired. Torture some people, and you should be re-elected.
What is going on here? I mean, I hear that Van Jones has just been asked to and accepted resignation over comments so very light and so far removed from either his current position or “inflammatory” as the MSM has tried to portray it w/o explanation, clarification, or context; that I don’t feel Americans actually live in a real world with adults occupying any kind of position of influence or accountability anymore. I mean, all of us have seen Bush admin officials say far worse about every class, race, and social orientation of not only every American, but of every person on this planet, with very little hubbub and NO resignations. It was actually scoff-able to attempt to have them answer for them. Obama is the ultimate capitulator. By doing this which is no more than a win for Fox News, Glenn Beck, members of the Birthers, Deathers, Seccessionists, Imbred, Uneducatable, Old, Feeble, Feeble-Minded, and Those Who Have Yet To Have Hardship That Opens Their Eyes So That They Plead To Anyone For Help Despite Railing Against Any Such Offering When They Were Mobile And Stable, and any such people who have started with health care reform to start pulling the thread away from this Cosby-sweater Jimmy Carter-lite administration; to achieve not only a win, but a supreme justification for waging this battle. The lowlife version of the Republican Party was DEAD!! with the loss of Sarah Palin (yeah, I know it was McCain’s bid but no one thought that past September), but this administration with its failure to hold anyone accountable for anything that when on with the Bush admin for expediency alone, coupled with its near sycophantic need for Republican approval on every little thing that was needed to be passed despite majorities in both houses and the bully pulpit of the presidency because of Clinton’s woes have amounted to a definite calculation of FAIL. Add to that no way of trimming rotten fruit (ie Lieberman, Nelson, Arlen “late to the party, don’t really believe in you, you just hired so many GOPhERS to the admin and I need to keep a job too” Specter, and the failure to even be able to crack some heads to get a bill signed that EVERYONE in every REGION but the SOUTH wants…..and you have a disaster. Count in throwing them Van Jones…I won’t even give the negative effects for racists will try to destroy my overall point. Suffice it to say, this is very much not change that anyone thought was possible. This is the Lazarus touch than NO ONE knew existed to a comatose party, that screamed every expletive it could think of, instead of giving up the ghost. This was a party that showed its corruption and ineptness at every level in the Bush admin, and as it died, wanted all to see how morally and ethically bankrupt it was too. Like Wall Street’s stranglehold until near death of our banking industry, Obama felt obligated to save it too with no strings attached. It will only become worse, as it looks now as he has things to hide. Hell, could’ve even kept Daschle, long as he paid the back taxes. Now this? What a weak man/president/puppet/rope-a-dope Barack Obama is.
So, a rich white guy just got a black guy fired from his job?
Nah, Glenn Beck knew he had an easy target, searched for with the help of Fox News ANYTHING that would make him seem less than completely apathetic about American’s political and racial history and POUNCED. It’s VERY easy to destroy a minority in this manner, if Sonia Sotomayor’s struggle to be on the supreme court was any indication. We’ve all seen many officials of the GOP at every level say far worse. But oh know, you can’t have a black guy with any kind of who knows what it is anymore. I just wish these Liberals had the spine of Repubs sometimes. For once, let them talk, just keep forward in your mission. Obama, YOU’RE NO BILL CLINTON! You can’t afford to let people keep chipping away and getting stronger questioning your credibility. You only make your opposition stronger in congress and scare your own base, that will start to fracture with you not really giving us anything to hang onto with your need to grow your independent and Repub margins, which you will lose anyway as you fire people over nonsense and let them question your judgment. Be careful. But no defeatism, it wasn’t overt racist, it was just enabling a overt racist to win to enable others.

I’m not weeping too many tears for the dude.
Why can’t we be assholes in not caving in to this shit? VP Cheney can yell “Go Fuck Yourself” at Leahy during a friggin’ photo session in the Senate chamber, but the Dems have to set an example via the ‘asshole’ axe? Unbelievable. Life in marvelous times, indeed.
Sorry but calling Republicans assholes is the job of anonymous message board posters. Stick to your own side of the street.
Van Jones is an America-hating, cop-hating white-hating racist eco-terrorist. It’s no wonder Obama appointed him. They are two peas in a pod!
Glad he’s out! Problem is, Obama’s administration is full of them! Asa Lama Lakum “bro”
mrsinnister: holy crap, pass the cocaine.
He crossed the tautology line, string him u……
I mean, y’know, kick him and stuff
Black Asshole:
Today, all our assholes are black
Black Asshole: And half of Bush’s cabinet were America-hating, cop-hating, black-hating racist corporate terrorists, but none of them ever got fired until they either were dragged before Congress or killed a few thousand people.
Marlowe: I believe what he meant was not that black kids don’t shoot kids in school, but that’s a dog bites man story, not a man bites dog one.
Does anyone remember a certain politician who called a certain reporter a ‘major league asshole’? Hint: his name sorta rhymes with Large Douche.
I guess you have to shoot someone in the face if you want to keep your job.
Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana called for Jones to quit, saying in a statement, “His extremist views and coarse rhetoric have no place in this administration or the public debate.”
Oh, go fuck yourself. Remember that quote? I’m certainly not saying that to anyone, just using it as an example.
tbogg: Someone needs to tell Barack Obama that you’re not supposed to bring a white flag to a gunfight.
Bingo!
But will he listen to anyone but his rahmer?
LoweredPeninsula: I have to echo Uncertainty Vice-Principal (may I call you Heisenberg for short?) - “Finally”? Politico is well along the trail of becoming nothing but a GOP mouthpiece. Restrained, official GOP maybe, but mouthpiece nonetheless.
Jones also called for investigations into whether the Bush administration was negligent (not complicit, as I maintain, but merely negligent).
However that, for some reason, is something nobody wants to talk about.
gurukalehuru: No one ever wants to talk about that because it’s blatantly fucking obvious that they were negligent.
But for some stupid reason, Obama is clinging to this fantasy that he can play nice with the GOP, and have some weak-kneed, watered down compromise bill.
Remember:
Look forward… Nothing to see back there (except for all the anti-constitutional carnage representing a country on the decline)… Move along folks.
tbogg: fucking A.
This post had me in a seriously serious tizzy, so I posted nothing.
WTF IS OBAMA THINKING?!?!?
OBAMA!!!!! TAKE YOUR BALLS OUTTA YOUR BI-PARTISAN PURSE BRO!!!!!!!!
Uh. You got the job, Obama. No need to keep firing people because a bunch of droolers stomp their feet and hold their breath. Let them fucking suffocate already. We voted for you, not them or their shitty, outdated and unAmerican ideology.
Why is he pandering to the minority party, again? Why is anyone? Isn’t it well past Shut The Fuck Up time? Do these assholes have their own nukes or something?
God I miss the Jed Bartlett presidency.
mrsinnister: tl;dr
Paragraph breaks help
Maus: Thanks for the link; I’m tired & drunk and only skimmed the first paragraph so will look at it later, but yeah, being a pseudo-science twit really bashes him in my view.
Upon reading the AP story, there’s something else (which, TBH is kinda decent grounds for giving him the boot) … APPARENTLY, Van Jones signed some petition at some point, and the upshot is that he seems like a 9/11 conspiracy theorist.
So w/e.
facehead: That’s what I’d thought the resignation/firing was about.
Ha HA! They assassinated your credibility by claiming that you believe total fucking nonsense.
Oh, throw up.
This guy had electrode burns behind his ears when they found him
oooopps
I didn’t mean to say that until tomorrow
facehead: I agree with aleks; that had been all the bad news I’d heard previously. But, I’d been willing to discount it - signing a petition is an easy thing to do, and as we’ve seen (well, some of us, looking around) signing something like that doesn’t mean you know what-all is going to be presented in the end.
I take as vague parallel a recent poll which attempted to equate right- and left- wing paranoid fantasies, as in equating birthers with truthers, yet the questions were completely unbalanced. As in, on the “truther” side all that one needed to be counted was thinking that some investigation was needed because Bush might haven’t paid enough attention to the warning that bin Laden was intending to attack. Not at all equivalent.
I dunno.
lumpenprole: could you reference wtf you are talking about?
skutre: Vince? Vince Foster? Is that you?
I thought you had electrodes attached to your balls - that’s more effective and more traditional.
Wasn’t he a Truther? Telling the truth in DC is the kiss of death, isn’t it?
I’ll never wear my “Van Jones” hat again.
Ok, I’ve done a bit more research on the two things he’s being called on. The first is this fully quote:
“The answer to that is: They’re assholes. That’s a technical political science term. And Barack Obama’s not an asshole. I will say this, I can be an asshole. And some of us who are not Barack Hussein Obama are gonna have to start getting a little bit uppity.”
Yep, can’t find any fault with this. The Republicans are assholes; Van can definitely be an asshole; and the president generally isn’t an assholes. Here’s where it gets a bit tricky, though, and it has to deal with the petition he signed with these exact words:
“The statement called “for immediate public attention to unanswered questions that suggest that people within the current administration may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen, perhaps as a pretext for war.”
The key term being “deliberately allowed.” I think the problem is that he’s never denied not reading the petition, and even if he hadn’t read it, that’s a question of judgement/competence. Either way, this is being blown way out of proportion. The folks in the last administration actually tortured, bombed, and lied their way away the around the world, and on more personal levels were far nastier and conspiratorial than anything Van could have ever been.
Somehow, though, it’s completely within reason for conservatives to seriously consider whether our president was born here or not. Somehow, that’s not controversial or crazy, right? God, these death panels can’t be implemented soon enough.
Hooray for America, A Racist cost a black man his job. Republican are assholes,they are maitre d’assholes, and as a burgeoning asshole I find that extremely attractive. With these kinds of results how can one not help but become a fan.
So Dick “Go fuck yourself” Cheney is ok, but the White House had to let this man go? They probably wouldn’t want me in meetings either.
Kinkster: Well, you got me?? If having to watch what could still be the greatest civilization on earth fall because of a whoring, whoremongerish ghetto media; which constantly tries to turn everything into a left-right argument of two equal sides and tilts to what can cause the most drama BUT never let the GOP’s really lose any arguments until 10 years after their assertions are proved without a shadow of a doubt wrong despite the cost to our treasure, civility, army and economy makes me some kind of a cokehead; then high am I.
I just believe that we should stop being so selfish and cheerleaderish ALL the time and try to be fair down the line. I mean, if Bill Clinton had ran off for a full week without telling anyone, including his Lt. Governor, chief of staff or probably even his security detail to not just another state but another COUNTRY (aren’t we still scared of terrorism) just to bop his mistress after winning because he railed so much against some youngish, good looking GOP to get his seat, I’m pretty damn sure he’d be tar’d and feather’d; much less had his family pay hush money, got his mistress’ husband a child a job only to be fired after it was over, on top of being a part of some shadowy philandering gang in some weird sex house (alleged). That’s not even including it’s a part of some Christian power-grab cult. I mean, no firings, and not even a squeak from the same media that inflated Al Gore’s Love Canal to like Strangelove proportions!
I know I’m overwrought, but this kind of thing is extremely worrying. I mean, it has real life consequences; we are feeling them now. I just want to know who’s driving and do they even serve the will of the people anymore. I live in the South, and they’ve been programmed for like 60 years to hate all conflicting views, even when they don’t challenge their already insanely myopic world or region view, told to keep my qualms that directly affect me or will, while they go rant about every conspiracy theory known to man, favor secession when their leaders are out of power, can’t find out what their own interests are and how they can be served when the country NEEDS to make them whole, all for the hate they have in the man in office, based on NOTHING! I mean, it’s gotten to the point that not just PhD’s, MDs or graduate students are being labeled elitist and thus irrelevant, but also just simple college students that don’t get their opinions from extreme right-wing sources. Our only counter is the MSM, but they are so threatened by net reporting, that they can’t risk losing what little viewership they think they have, ceding all that ground to Fox. Hell, Fox controls my Rock station, so I get propaganda there, FROM THE DJ!
In fuller disclosure, I’m an young Black male, so people think I automatically have some biased foot in this fight. Everyone I know though, know that I didn’t think Obama was up to it, and wanted Al Gore to try this time. He deferred, so I was left with a pretty thin field. I always knew Edwards was empty, so I wanted (since everyone was rooting for Obama because of 2 great speeches) a reverse of what we have now, Biden-Obama. But the progressives had to have their pretty boy and I didn’t like the entitlement that Hillary brought and everyone counted out the only true candidate with principle, Dennis Kucinich, cause he looked like an elf. He mustn’t have been to bad cause he scored big time with is wife and his region. Still, I’ve watched him get beat up wrongly in the campaigns by the same people he’s bending over to please now, under the moronic hand of Rahm and the effiminate duffus Axelrod. If he had immediately sent Holder to investigate ALL crimes, there would’ve been so many people trying to shred files that they would’ve never been able to mount the echo chamber they have now, blue dog or GOP. His failure to stick to the principles he ran on now threatens his presidency. Yeah, Van Jones seems pretty inappropriate for such a response, but I’ve watched him make mistake after mistake in not trying to reward his base, as Bush made damned sure he did even AFTER 9/11. Keith Olbermann now suggest pulling a Ted Kennedy and finding someone to run against him on the Dem side in 2012, and if we lose the majority in 2010, I’m following him. He needs to do like he said on Jon Stewart and FIRE THE BUSH DRIVER! not BAIL HIM OUT or shred his blood alcohol test. We are still in the ditch when a mandate of Americans built him a crane. He’s too busy trying to make the perfect speech to sway people with white sheets on (and nooses in hand). Come down from the mountaintop Obama, you’re not seeing us anymore. At least chew some gum to stop the popping ears so something past 10 feet or people can get in.
We need to start caring about things and each other BEFORE they directly affect us or someone we know. I’m tired of watching townhalls where people beg to their senators for things and because it gets on tele, they move heaven and earth to help THAT individual, when the reason they’re there is because it’s about plans that affect us ALL, or will. If you enact healh care reform, you won’t have to worry about the individual cases. If you stop don’t ask don’t tell, you don’t have to worry about troop depletion. They’ll feel obligated to serve because you showed you think they’re human beings. If you allow gay marriage, you become a boon to the travel and catering industry overnight. Am this is a straight guy saying this. Let’s think ahead and not be so small and petty. That’s my piece, hate as you will. My fiance’s in another land, so I don’t have to worry about this impotent s00t too much longer.
I feel so alone…Ole Van Jones is just a start of the big ole pile of DEM BONES!
mrsinnister: Wish you could edit…my baby will kill me..fiancee!
Speaking of brainwashing kids, our local high school district (and this is in one of NJ’s wealthiest and most republican districts) has decided NOT to expose our tender youngsters to the presdident telling them to work hard and stay in school.
Teachers can tape the speech and show it later - to spark “debate”. I guess that debate would be whether it makes sense to work hard and stay in school???
But no homework will be assigned (can’t let the younger kids at home be exposed to our black president and his communism) and parents can ask for their kids to be excused from any of this Obama indoctrination.
All of this due to “concern by some parents”.
mrsinnister: I bet you love Woofer.
Smoke Filled Roommate: And it’s still not even close to the Rockefeller Beck rant, not even an eighth. I was just a Red Lion, then all the BS stirred me. Sorry for the inconvenience to the attention threatened. Good morning and peace.
mrsinnister: Huh?
BTW, I think ‘Al Gore’s Love Canal’ would make a great band name. Thanks for that.
mrsinnister: the effiminate duffus Axelrod
WTF?
I know you said you’re overwrought, but that’s no excuse for that. I don’t think Axelrod is effeminate, but it doesn’t matter if he is. What does it matter? You used it as a slam, although it shouldn’t be one. Don’t do that.
Katydid: LOL! I love when people nitpick instead of going for the substance. EFFEMINATE!! What do you care? It’s even funnier when it normally is a lib too. Lib on Lib violence drove me from the Maher boards. I like how you all get so personal so fast. I’m staying above it. No, before you start, I’m not assuming you’re anything, it’ll just be funny if you were. What are you attacking me for anyway? Do you know him, are you him? Some mod wanting to pick a fight for more traffic. What does it even have to do with the overall topic cept for obvious trolling.
gurukalehuru: I fucked that up. He raised questions about 9/11. Also.
Yeah, so totally CRAAAAZY to question the official 9/11 story…
Personally, I don’t see that Jones did anything wrong except for apologize.
mrsinnister: And before it all devolves to childish sniping. I’ll like to apologize to everyone I made use their PageDown key or extraneous scrolling. I had this big red ticker on my MSN just before turning in for the night about the resignation, and having not made any political posts since he spared Lieberman the rod after being elected choose this place to vent a bit. I made apologies during and now after, so before this becomes a battle on/for style points (as many do on the web)let me bow out gracefully. Sorry for the insomniac panic, but I feel we’re going the wrong direction.
The reason Obama fired this guy is the part of the quote where he said we need to get more uppity. He was speaking about Democrats, but the subtext is clear. He speaks in praise of uppity negroes, and that will not go over well with the Southern (a.k.a. Republican) Party.
So let me get this straight. Asshole republicans can call the President a terrorist, spread lies about his motives and character, through the word racist around like it’s a birthright, and they’re American heros, but someone who is NOT working for the administration (at the time) can call these assholes “assholes” and he gets fired for it. Just to clarify.
Like a few million other people, I’d never heard of Van Jones until I heard that he was being asked to “resign”. I don’t know the gentleman but if the only reason Obama had to fire him was because he called Republicans assholes then that’s sad. Grow some balls Obama. Give the man a Presidential Medal of Courage instead!
Don’t have a Medal of Courage….. make one! Chicken George had lots of medals to give to his boot lickers.
he got in front of the bus. the bus ran him down. so it goes.
Hopey’s speech this week better be good.
That’s all I’m sayin’.
Obviously, Obama’s failure to expend every bit of political capital for a 9/11 troofer just shows that he’s no better than McCain.
Van Jones was 3 things Wingnuts fear, a smug black man, liberal and married to a white woman. The hysteria was predictable but Obama caving, I did not see that coming.
Yes, my normally entertaining @Glennbeck feed on twitter has gone from crazy to gloating. I fucking hate it when people who shouldn’t even been on the internet gloat.
Cookie_Monster_Cupcake: Someone should inform him that it will harder to keep an eye on Jones now that he’s outside the White House.
Glenn just made the conspiracy to get him stronger. Well played, Glenn; well played.
Van Jones is a nutbar, and was the wrong choice in the first place. He may be our Gonzo
2 things: if they vetted him and knew about all this extraneous crap that’s being thrown at him, and Obama picked him anyhow, then they should have stuck with him because you KNEW the Repugs (and their media howler monkeys) would make a huge stink. If they didn’t vet him and didn’t know about all that stuff, then they should have.
Either way, it’s an O-fail big time. When Blenn Geck wins, we all lose.
Ugh, bad move Obama. You do not want to give in to the Glenn Becks in any way shape or form. By firing this guy, they’re perceive you as weak and easy to cow. Think of them as spoiled brat kids or Hitler, the more you concede to them, the more they’ll try to take.
A black, former Maoist, outspoken, honest (Rethugs are assholes, white people dump their shit where poor people live) administration official is like fly paper for the mouth breathers at Faux. They should have kept him on just to give Hannity and Beck something to obsess about.
teebob2000: I read this on Dailykos “…….. Democrats and Republicans share only two characteristics in common in my experience: they both fight Democrats all the time and would never make common cause with one. Republicans defend war criminals. Democrats only defend perfect and spotless Democrats, and not even then, generally.”
I think they vetted him but as typical gutless Democrats at the first sign of contraversy they caved.
4tehlulz: Obviously, Obama’s failure to expend every bit of political capital for a 9/11 troofer just shows that he’s no better than McCain.
That’s funny.
“Refusing to jump and do whatever Glenn Beck demands” = “expending every bit of political capital”
Ignoring idiots on the extreme right is always an option too. If you respond to any idiotic demand they make it just makes you look weak, and then what happens to “political capital”?
For example his refusal to even acknowledge the demands that he “produce” another birth certificate, is this “expending political capital” too?
Perception is everything in politics, and this looks like the tiny percentage of Wingnuts now call the shots.
Bad move. Any way you look at it.
If even half of what they say about Van Jones’ “truthiness” and pseudo-scientific affiliations is true, I want to know how he ever got past the vetters.
slappypaddy: My God! You’re Linda Ellerbee!
No surpise there. Still, it leaves a sick feeling that the Bush years will never end, like your worst nightmare on a continuous loop whenever you try to sleep.
Now i see why the great editors of Wonkette don’t publish things late at night, this comment thread looks like it should be under an article Drudge linked to through Ben Smiths blog…
seriously unfunny.
Fix it.
Uncle Glenny: Are you the moderator? Otherwise, no one really cares that you had to pass on a post because you have the attention span of a goldfish.

Shoulda talked about masturbation instead. Oh wait…Nevermind.
Blue. No, yellooooooooooooooooooowwwwww!
mrsinnister: I’m sorry to hear you have a fiancée, because even though I’m probably old enough to be your grandmother — the white one that nobody in the family talks about — I would ditch my husband and run away with you in a DC minute. Which is a little slower than the New York kind, as a kindness to old people. (Thank you, Mayor Fenty — considering how young and fit you are, this consideration is really kind.) Thanks for a great read and all the thoughty thoughts. I’ll go to my grave wishing I’d met you before you met, you know, that sweet young thing you’re engaged to. *sigh*
Maus: Yes! Let’s go after Einstein now, too. You know, for that nutty E=MC squared thing. Nobody can understand it. You can’t see it. Jeez. Can you believe how long that jackass has coasted on the public’s gullibility? What’s next? Men on the moon?
slavojzizek: I pointed this out to The Washington Post in a postscript (ha ha) to a Letter to the Editor that I sent them earlier today. I’m not holding my breath for them to mention the irony of it all.
Maus: Wow, a wingnut blog that accepts Darwinian evolution - never seen that before!
As to Van Jones…if he’s a Truther, firing him makes sense to me. You want to keep even a little media focus on how fucking nuts the Birthers and similar right-wing crazies are, then don’t have a crazy person in your own administration that the media can point to for “balance.” And, as for Truther-ism in general: yeah, Dick Cheney is of course an evil fuck that I could believe would do damn near anything. But what are the odds that he’s competent enough to have kept it a secret this long?
Needs more Trucknutz.
But dammit, Republicans are assholes. What’s the problem?
mrsinnister: No prob. I agree completely and I have as much pent up frustration as you. Thanks for taking the heat and saying what needed to be said. Don’t resign.
mrsinnister: No, I’m not a troll, nor am I David Axelrod. I’m the parent of a homosexual, a lesbian, actually, and I despise when people say random homophobic things, and I tend to tell them to stop, which is what I told you.
I wasn’t trying to pick a fight with you. I was calling you on your ridiculous use of the word “effeminate” for Axelrod. There’s no reason to do stuff like that. Your response to me, even though I pointed out to you that it doesn’t matter whether Axelrod is effeminate or not, shows that you don’t get it.
Someone’s sexuality should not be a topic for ridicule. I don’t think I disagreed with anything else you wrote, so why would I address anything else you wrote? And I didn’t get personal, I didn’t even get nasty. Why can’t you understand it’s wrong to label someone as “effeminate” as a slam?
I thought it was Lincoln that Obama idolized and wanted to emulate, not Buchanan.
JooJoo Bee: Einstein said he was socialist, endorsed a seriously commie publication (Monthly Review) and, opposed the creation of a Jewish state. He would never be allowed anywhere near Washington today.
Can the dude be replaced with Cynthia McKinney?
I agree.
Our government leaders should be able to spew vulgarisms at each other like Cheney.
They should also subscribe to way out conspiracy theories on the order of magnitude of Saddam putting nukes in the hands of terrorists.
We should always take our lead from the behavior of the Bush Administration. It is, after all, the only change we can believe in.
If you subscribe to any other standard, well that just means that you are a pussy and a capitulator.
IMO: Regardless of his political leanings, any “truther” should be booted out of the administration.
And sorry, but the “I didn’t read the petition I signed” defense is a fucking joke.
Queue David Byrne:
Mr. Jones…
Put a wiggle in your stride
Loosen up
(I believe he’ll be alright)
Changing clothes
Now he’s got ventilated slacks…
Seriously, is Obama going to have any supporters left by 2012?
just because the bush league, starting with smirky monkey and going on down through little dickey “pull!” cheney, donnie “we can do without an army” rumsfeld, alberto “constitution? we don’t need no stinkin’ constitution” gonzales, and countless others, were incompetent at best, evil at worst, and inhabiting a broad swath of idiocy in between, doesn’t mean that we should resign ourselves to the breathtakingly low example they set and ask for none but the same from the obama administration. if in the interests of much more effective government than the careless looting and pillaging we put up with during the bush years, people have to leave the government when they screw up, i say thank them for their efforts and show them the door. there is serious work to be done, by serious, clear-sighted, and sober-minded men and women. we should expect and demand nothing less.
Is it true that Obama had a childhood show business career before turning to law/politics?
Someone told me he played “Token” on “South Park.”

Van Jones is a very cool name. But yes, kind of dumb to make that type of statement in an interview. He should have left it at “Obama is not an asshole.”
Which one of you wiseacres posted this comment on the Boston Globe website shark article, hmmmm? (imperiously raising one eyebrow)
“Jonny-Wingnut wrote:
The sharcks DONT scare me, but Librul deth panels and helth care reformS, that is scarie. Also brown peoples. sharx are like sociolists, with there crazee eyes and pointee teethes. GlennBeck told me about it.
teabaggers stik together allso.”
It’s encouraging that 7 people recommended this user.
Holy crap, did Our Wonkett have a recruitment drive at a tinfoil hat convention? I tend to forsake brevity myself but Simon Bar Sinister makes me look like a microblogger. So yeah, tl;dr.
Van Jones seems to ba a serial non-profit creator. He’s probably happy. He gets to say he was part of the Obama admin, but doesn’t have to take the heat for its inevitable centrist milquetoasty policy.
if anyone’s surprised at this “cave” (or just bowing to not entirely unwarranted pressure, even if from detestable elements) then you probably haven’t been paying much attention to the health care “debate.” it’s pretty clear Obama’s got no taste for rockin’ the boat. He will show that it is possible to disappoint all of the people all of the time, though he’ll be disappointing in different ways to different groups.
hobospacejunkie: “it’s pretty clear Obama’s got no taste for rockin’ the boat. He will show that it is possible to disappoint all of the people all of the time, though he’ll be disappointing in different ways to different groups.”
a true democrat, then.

Katydid: “Someone’s sexuality should not be a topic for ridicule.”
Now THAT’S funny.
jagorev: whiner.
I’ve already cut my teevee viewing down to two MSNBC hours per night, because I cannot stand the relentless rightwing noise. Now I’m just waiting for Wednesday’s speech before I know if I’ll have to dig up my English classics for my evenings, and turn off this stupid computer for the next three and a half years. Obama has really disappointed me in the fighting area. Look at how Liz and Dick Cheney get on the teevee and lie all day and night, on all the stations, and look stronger than Obama for it. Wednesday night is Obama’s last try to impress me.
m_supercomputer: But what are the odds he’d be competent enough to keep it secret this long from a completely uninquisitive press and a thoroughly trusting public? Damned good, I’d say.
Lets permanently ban this comment thread forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Wonkette is the only blog where the editors have lives and spend their weekends doing something more fun than looking at their blog.
That makes me sad.
Fix it.
WIDTAP: Part of me has the heart strings for the dude like you, but the other part just want to see him fight.
slappypaddy: Fine, the bar needs to be raised when it comes to political discourse in the country, but just as it shouldn’t be set too low, it also shouldn’t be set too high.
His language may have been caustic, but he wasn’t a diplomat. He may be a truther, but he’s not attorney general. He may have been a pseudoscience mystic, but he’s not secretary of energy or education. Unlike so many Republicans who were put in charge of things they loudly proclaimed to despise and want to dismantle (from John Bolton to Kristin Maguire), he simply ascribed to rather odd views that ultimately didn’t affect his ability to do his job.
Firing for gross negligence or incompetents will help your cause, but firing for simply being a potential political liability only serves to vindicate your enemies while ultimately appearing weak and vulnerable.
Improving the standard for political discourse in this country is a noble goal (albiet one that’s probably incompatible with the way elections are conducted in this country), but that should be kept a secondary goal, with the primary goals being “stop killing people and letting people die” and “stop being corporate shills at the expense of the citizenry.” Fix the fundamentals, then worry about something as esoteric as political discourse.
Remember: in five days Obama will have been in office for just as long as Bush was when he let a few thousand people die on his watch. Get past that milestone and the bar has already been raised, without having to fire everybody who’s ever had impure thoughts or otherwise acted like a human being.
Obama is feeding the sharks to make them go away.
EXTREMELY LONG COMMENT:
Here comes the funcooker!
This is what happens on long weekends: the editors don’t come around to give us our next bit of shiny to distract us from writing overly long posts. Damn you, Labor Day!

I-man: Maitre d’assholes is precious. But I digress. He’s fine, likes white ladies AND a radical Maoist AND calls Republicans assholes on the record? Move over Lawrence-Red’s-My-Favorite-Color-O’Donnell and Steve-Kind-Bud-Inskeep. Pinky’s got a new man. Even his name brings the seksAY.
The wingnuts don’t want Van Johnson out, they want Sarah Palin —In.
Guppy06: stop being corporate shills at the expense of the citizenry
I’d settle for this impossible dream. I was tempted to just reply hahahahahahahahahaha cuz that’s how I feel, looking at Obama’s contributor’s list. He ain’t dumpin’ the public option (much less single payer) out of principle. And if we get any meaningful Wall St reform it’ll be more thanks to Barney Frank than the Goldman Sachs cheerleaders acting as Obama’s financial team.
btwbfdimho: Back to snark! Yaaaaaayy! *claps*
What the hell . mrsinnister…uh, WTF are you talking about?
Is there a gas leak in this thread?
they should have made him white house spokesperson.
mrsinnister: I read the whole thing and I agree. Bipartisan wasn’t supposed to mean caving at every little Republics screed.
Don’t you guys think you’re being a little tough on Obama? He will run circles around the Glenn Becks all day long, because he’s smarter than them, but they don’t realize it yet. And don’t think the townhall loons and Fox News goons are making a good impression on the independents who determine who wins elections. In the end, it’s all going to come back and bite the Repubatards in the ass.
SayItWithWookies: “Oh, go fuck yourself. Remember that quote? I’m certainly not saying that to anyone, just using it as an example.”
Well, I’ll say it to the right wing. Go fuck yourselves. This is a major sacrifice for me, since back in the days I made good money in Seattle, I hired a housekeeper–and paid her payroll taxes!!! My FICA share and hers. All that wasted money, clinching my bona fides for a cabinet spot, but I’ll willing to say it again: Rush O’Beckdrudge et. al. Go fuck yourselves then eat shit and die.
Bill”I just shit my pants” Kristol says Fox News is the only media outlet talking about this story.
Thought Fox stopped its propaganda b.s when Jr. left office.
BlueStateLibtard: “In the end, it’s all going to come back and bite the Repubatards in the ass.”
I wish I shared your optimism. The GOP is like COBRA: They just keep going on and on like that. You can’t shoot them, you can only shoot at them, and with shiny lights rather than real bullets.
I really, really want to know what Van Whoever thinks of Repblicans today.
Fired or not, I still liked him in xXx. Think he’ll make another Fast & Furious sequel now that he has more free time?
Van Jones is wrong: Republicans aren’t assholes, because at least assholes have a function.
BlueStateLibtard: No, the independents will say to themselves “Gee, we didn’t have all this crazy screaming when George Bush was in office,” or “If they’re so vocal maybe they’re on to something,” since it’s not like anybody beyond Barney Frank is “answering” the accusations. And then as “White House scandals” like this pile up, we’ll end up electing a Republican in 2012 to “bring dignity back to the White House.”
The independents are the ones who elected Bush in ‘00 and ‘04, and they liked “centrists” like Clinton and McCain in ‘08. Obama was elected by crazy libtards who actually got the number of registered Democrats up during a time when party registrations overall had been on the decline. But, being libtards, they ignored warning signs like Obama’s vote on FISA, and so elected a Carter thinking he was a Roosevelt.
mrsinnister: ” I live in the South, and they’ve been programmed for like 60 years to hate all conflicting views,”
I knew there was a reason I was reading all your long, hysterical screeds. We are soulmates! I’ve suffered through the same shit as the Gaylord family attacked Democrats and labor and effectively fucked public education so these morons are too stupid to read.
sezme: Wrong dude. He’s that other black guy.
Up next for the right, Valerie Jarrett.
At some point, one might start to think that conservatives don’t like brown people.
Jones was the proverbial low-hanging fruit– a black guy with a strong, borderline over-the-top progressive background, who talked about “controversial” things like race, poverty, and the environment, probably too loosely for his own good. He was a good guy who does really good things but for this reason and all the reasons above will never be the kind of person who works in DC as the only kind of crazy allowed in DC is crazy for Jeebus. A cave in to Beck, Fox and the WingNuts yes, but like most things in DC, whenever conservatives get a case of the vapors, the press MUST investigate and address their concerns and pundits will shake their heads in concern that Obama is being too liberal.
LoweredPeninsula: I’m with you! O’Bama & Co. should start calling certain ReThuglicans out, by name, with supporting audio/video, and force their detestable hypocritical bullshite back down their throats where it belongs. After all, you Yanks love a fighter, right?
jagorev:
All in favor, expose your TruckNutz.
AKAM80TheWolf: And that is the way it goes.
BreitFart claims Van Jones was a scandal ignored by the MSM. So who’s going to step up and claim credit? I saw one article that claimed Glenn Beck was responsible. For getting Van Jones to resign I mean.
“Yes! Let’s go after Einstein now, too. You know, for that nutty E=MC squared thing. Nobody can understand it. You can’t see it. Jeez. Can you believe how long that jackass has coasted on the public’s gullibility? What’s next? Men on the moon?”
There are a million nutballs and Timecubes and PEARs that fail for every Einstein. That does not make a million Einsteins. I welcome the psychic warrior contingent to Wonkette, enjoy your stay.
“Something tells me you only weep if your figures didn’t add up.”
And?
Guppy06: Eh, there are different ways of looking at this. It might remind them of how Bush made the head of the national Arabian horseshow association the head of FEMFA, and how well that all turned out. But they’re hardly likely to notice this at all anyway, much less care. The thing about Obama is that he always comes across as reassuring, normal and smart, whereas the other side just keeps coming across as impulsive, crazy, paranoid and hot-tempered. If he can get the economy back, the independents will vote for him again. Just my humble, humble opinion, but I’m usually right.
Guppy06: You are EXACTLY right, no question. Just with the Clinton’s struggle, the middle will cave to just want civility again, even if it is placating the right at everyone’s peril. It’s why Bush 43 ended up being a viable candidate, along with Reagan. Huckabee could actually end up being that “replacement”, that placebo, to having to think and/or braving rancor for a good cause.
Things I am confused about: did Van get fired or did he just cold resign? anyone know? ‘Cause I have read both versions.
This coming on TOP of Obama ‘changing’ his little school side chat just makes it seem worse to me. jmho..ymmv
and yeah, Republicans are total assholes. They dont want me to have affordable health insurance, and that is just plain wrong. I think I could talk my way out of a death panel, thank you very much.
At least he is not a graduate of Bob Jones U. or Liberty University.
I hope all those loyal Bushies get fired for too much fundie, not enough common sense.
mrsinnister: No. Huckabee is the Christian Taliban, and after
Bush none of the Independents want anything to do with them. They hate Sarah Palin, also.
this is the reason none of the fundies will ever be in power.
trickyrick: Look, Bob McDonnell is probably going to be governor of Virginia in spite of his Regents University credentials. The fundies *like* the fundie, and they have allies with money. The GOP machine still works in many parts of the country, and those places have two senators each. Congress, consequently, is a total monkeyhouse.
BlueStateLibtard: But how long before the loudspeaker carrying right starts to muddle the overall message and we just want them to stop. Yeah, the political wonks and activists will keep up the charge, but the people who just wanted to believe in a bigger plan will simply either go back to being cynical and/or apathetic, as with the Republican revival in 1994. The Right knows this playbook, which is why Rush received a half a billion dollar contract just after Obama won, and in turn, assumed the mantle of bouncer. He helped them win before, and he knows the ways to sow distrust, fear, hate and apathy, as I seen it back then, with just the volume of conjecture and flat out lies. With so much venom then out there, people will start forgetting that this guy was good when they picked him, and will just think he found a nice hustle over them to bring in his kin. There’s plenty of examples of this with how the right wing personally attacks Michelle as being extremely uppity and Ritzy, but I’ll stop before I arouse more SNARKS (lol).
Maus: “And?”
Geez, I don’t know why else you might weep, maybe when you can’t get a particle to wave?
trickyrick: Now he seems like it. Just you wait…that calm deliberative (fake), conciliatory manner will seem like elixir to the red ears of the populace. Plus, the MSM who is already right-tilted will bow to his story as a chance to stick it to Obama, to negate charges (don’t make me laugh!!) that they were easy on Obama. If McCain had picked ANYONE except Sarah Palin, they would made it a 46-42 race (still a coin flip as who would’ve won). But expect all the low hanging fruit journalists (ie Chris Matthews, David Gregory, Wolf Blitzer, George Stephanopoulos) to try to reestablish credibility by bashing the hell out of Obama. If Huckabee makes it through the primaries, he’s then almost insured a close race. All the rest of the current field seems either wacky or boring. You couple him with a good VP chose like Tim Pawlenty, and they steal the press coverage and keep Obama on the defensive. This is not Bob Dole’s party anymore.
trickyrick: He “resigned”. But come on…NO ONE is fired anymore. It’s a save face feature for both parties. He was probably asked to get off the team politely or something, LOL.
JooJoo Bee: Aw shucks..lol. Thank you though for being an umbrella in this storm. I wish more older Americans were like you, without threat for losing everything and using their immense influence and wisdom to make people care about the things that failed when they were young. Too many people just want to appear right, glad to see there are still people that really want to get it right instead.
mrsinnister: Are you saying Huckabee isn’t wacky?
Maus: Uh, whatever the junk science Jones subscribed to, the dudes who run that Darwinist wingnut blog have clearly long since abandoned the “reality-based community.” Maybe someone should explain the difference between Darwinism and social Darwinism to them. Or just tell them to STFU.
Glenn Beck took aim at Van Jones because colorofchange.com made Glenn Beck lose advertisers.
Follow the money SHEEPLE!
Just wait, now that he’s free of the constraints of civil service, Van will open a can of whoopass on the wingnuts. He is a serial non-profit creator - I hope the next one is GLENNBECKNEEDSMEDS.ORG
“Geez, I don’t know why else you might weep, maybe when you can’t get a particle to wave?”
My problem is really with “outsider” science and parapsych, I don’t get your point. When my figures don’t add up, I have a much better ability to rethink my assumptions than they do.
idiot son of an asshole: He’s nuttier than a fruit cake. The difference is, as George W. barely showed to such high praise in 2000, he knows how to present his thoughts far better than other wack jobs. He’s charming, charismatic, and already has connections to many late night shows (which will feel hesitant to just start attacking him if he stays close to the mainstream, INCLUDING Jon Stewart) and cable news outlets. He left the bright lights at exactly the right time, making sure he was at least as close to a household name as a loser of a primary could be. He’s attacked Obama in Isreal, which brings him back closer to the right wing fold and helps him with both conservative and Libermann (lol), along with other quasi-Democratic Jewish leaders (the one issue only types not to disparage all of them AT ALL). He’s their best shot, and I see him pulling it off, if his past statements are not too damaging, if Barack fails to inspire his base and loses the middle by giving easy wins to the Glenn Beck, Rush and conspiracy ilk.
Worst. Thread. Ever.
Are you the moderator? Am I the moderator? Did someone see the moderator?
But, on-topic, Hopey is really making me wonder. I mean, this is the dude that came from Chicago to take down the Clinton machine, and these fuckers are afraid of their own shadow. I dunno, I always thought the Clintons were tough as nails and to beat them you’d have to be, you know, tougher than them?
Did he just BS some college kids and get us all to send him money and he organized a couple of communities Did I get Rickrolled? because I would gladly trade that t-shirt for the money I gave him.
I’d love to believe he is just rope-a-doping them by letting us get super pissed off and motivated, but I dunno, he might just suck.
Seriously: Obama needs to replace his Secret Service protection with the S1W. If the GOP is going to come after him like this, might as well justify it.
Plus, we can get “Flava of Love: East Wing Edition” in the meantime.
Jim Demintia: I opt for the latter.
Wait - was this guy a Muslim, a Nazi, a Communist, or an Antichrist? Or something new?
mrsinnister: The problem for the Becks and Limbaughs is demographics, their base is old and just going to get older, look at the average age of the town haller. And who the hell is watching Glenn Beck at 5 pm EST? They’re not young people working. They’re old white folks wishing the country could go back 50 years, which it can’t and won’t. And not all old white folks are mean, crazy racists like those townhallers either, so even they’re a minority.
The news says he resigned. CNN says the Whitehouse didn’t force his resignation. In any case, the Democrats need a BACKBONE. Fucking wimps.
BlueStateLibtard: And yet Glenn Beck and his demographic are driving the debate and making Obama dance to their tune.
mrsinnister: “I just wish these Liberals had the spine of Repubs sometimes.”
You could have saved yourself a lot of typing and just said that.
June Cleaver 2.0: That’s what I said the morning of his last big press conference. You know, the one where he weighed in on the cop and the professor and caused himself yet another problem. Hope your deadline turns out better than mine did.
BlueStateLibtard: “And who the hell is watching Glenn Beck at 5 pm EST?”
Never heard of a DVR?

Death Panel Wagon: you are not fooling anyone. that was super lame.
Ok, I perhaps might give up.. I might go outside or something…
Did someone put Wonkette on some “redstate”-like brainwashing blog? You guys are supposed to be scared of Wonkette..yet you are in here, making this a boring place to be….
tbogg: Exactly. Wingnuts don’t respect those who compromise with them. They want to throw down, and they’re simultaneously giddy and disgusted that Obama won’t throw down with them.
Solution: kick their asses, politely but very firmly and with some fucking conviction. Take them down, hard and fast.
Guppy06: Yeah of course, but please, I know Clownface recommends that, who do you know between the ages of 18 - 40 that watches that him? People who watch him are naive oldsters and housewives, the same Limbaugh demographic. Of course there’s exceptions. But no one with a real life wants to listen to that ridiculous ranting.
ForTheTurnstiles: To give deference and red meat to the patrons of the house Anna built…I add this: “And from the back, just how they like it”. Now can you stop griping already about boredom already? Short enough, there’s plenty of other threads to get titillated from.

Johnny Zhivago: G-d knows, O. might mention evilution!
BlueStateLibtard: I work with people who LOVE that ranting. I wouldn’t bet on the average IQ of all of you kindred. You’ll lose big. And to your earlier point, people will at first try to go against the grain. If you can’t, however, articulate a plan past a dream, and they other side, which can also include your friends, relatives, bosses and coworkers, are constantly gaining traction on destroying your savior, it’s human nature to desist. Obama needs to feed his base for awhile to reward them and have them fight his battles on the ground. At least a sacrificial few lambs…. But he’s above all that, and prefers us to do his work, while he, Axelrod (effeminate, not GAY), Emmanuel, Gibbs, and Sebelius, and Holder constantly stay conflicting things if not nothing at all.
Death Panel Wagon: Yeah, sure this thread lacks the pure euphoria of a Snow Queen-bashing thread, but that’s OK, we can’t laugh at her all the time. But you’re got a great act there, I’m impressed with the way you kept yourself from shouting by NOT TYPING IN ALL CAPS. Must have taken a lot of will power on your part.
BlueStateLibtard: I’d wager that the demographic that watches Glenn Beck also tends to be the demographic that actually bothers to go out and vote. The 18-40 year olds who voted in ‘04 voted for an idea, a pre-packaged dream that would stand up to anything that Disney puts out. But now that Hopey is actually in office and supposedly doing things, the young’uns aren’t all that keen on seeing what goes into that particular hot dog.
I’ll agree with what others have said, that Obama is on the verge of turning those first-time voters off from voting at all in the future, possibly for the long-term. And with the way elections are rigged in this country, I really don’t blame that majority of the enfranchised that won’t bother voting next year.
zhubajie: Thanks dude. Although you miss a lot of context there I think. I mean, I would’ve never known how Bush beat Gore if I wasn’t here to see such far slanted, very personal media coverage. And he still needed the Supremes, when they’re always yelling about state’s rights. Then go with the new electronic voting machines with no paper trail made by a company whose founder is a huge Bush contributor, followed with reports that Jeb Bush’s spokesperson asked for hypothetical’s on a source code to change the voting results in plain sight, lol. I definitely won’t miss this place, but I really wonder how we’ve looked to the rest of the world while you were abroad.
Guppy06: At least they’ll still be able to vote. In the coming years, the demographic that votes Repubatard will be dead. And–this is scary—but whites will be outnumbered by people of brown complexions. So let the Repubatards keep up their baiting of blacks and Hispanics, they’re only digging their own graves.
BlueStateLibtard:Fox News Light: LOL i guess that’s what I get for thinking out loud when I am high.
It’s too bad Van Jones isn’t Vice President, or he would be allowed to tell all the Republicans in congress to go fuck themselves. Also.
Holy shit, I go out to buy a little weed and the whole fucking place turns into this?

mrsinnister: When have I been griping about boredom? I’m irritated by the Clinton-like complacency I see in the white house this summer in dealing with the idiocy. Don’t match wits with the halfwits, certainly don’t ignore them, just take them down in a firm, direct, and unambiguous manner, that’s all I’m asking from Rahm and Barry.

ForTheTurnstiles: Sorry about that, I piggybacked the innuendo off your comment. That boredom thing wasn’t directed at you at all. At least the Clintons tried to fight back. Barack’s first instinct is to bend over for some reason. Props to the poster that broached it earlier and to Guppy’s great instinct in knowing that the ones we’ve mobilized to believe in this hope could get turned off for a long period of time. The Dems were given a great gift by the Bush admin, seeing that we survived it: 2 failed wars, a horribly mismanaged and damaged economy and bank structure, graft and corruption in nearly every industry tying directly to Bush officials and campaign contributions, war crimes and Geneva treaty violations, domestic spying even those of political enemies (Bill Clinton accidental, yeah right!)….and for fear of jumping the snark I’ll stop here but listed is not even a twentieth of what went down. What are they doing with it and the mobilization it caused….talking. Talking, talking, talking….just to sell the burning farm.
shit, I meant this one:

If Obama won’t even try to ram any seriously liberal legislation thru Congress with a 60 Senate & a huge majority in the House, what kind of watered-down gruel will he have to serve up to get through Congress when those majorities are reduced in 2010?

“I was tempted to just reply hahahahahahahahahaha cuz that’s how I feel, looking at Obama’s contributor’s list.”
Perfect. We saw this comin’ didn’t we Hobo? The primary dem opponents assesments of this man are coming frightengly true. The Maher/Moyer Real Time interview frames this corporate prez perfectly, & those around him. Prediction on speech: Reprise of the malaise inaugural speech: “everybody needs to grow up” theme. Wandering into the never never land of murkey co-ops & trigger nonsense. 50 million people left in the dirt. Just what the contributor’s ordered. Is Olympia Snowe our new shadow president? Van Jones, quite the draconian move. Also, shouldn’t we be standing up to straightjacketed Glenn Beck? I saw a rethug cartoon the other day with a bunch of donkeys staring at a spinal cord saying: “What is that”? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gSQ2DWkVE0
mrsinnister: There is no piggybacking the innuendos off other comments in here. You don’t do that. That’s no.
i dunno. (best way to start when i think i do know. so disarming and disingenuous.) obama has a chess master’s gift for thinking many moves ahead, and a killer instinct. he knows how to pick his battles (my cliche generator is stuck in the “on” position, sorry about that). i think he’s playing a deeper game than most of us can imagine, and doesn’t care any more or less than precisely what he needs to care about the frothings of the wingnuts and the flappings of the libtards.
i mean, i certainly want to believe these optimistic things about him, beacuse if he’s in over his head and wallowing like a calf in a bog, we’re fucked. without lube.
What now?

That’s awesome. In the new, watered-down version of the word, meaning cool or neat-o.
Unfortunately there are probably an endless supply of metaphors for weak Dems. Or rather an endless supply of weak Dems to be mocked in this manner. Or rather an endless supply of Dems whose sole reason for being a Dem is present & future electability based on demographic trends.

The demographics are going to hurt the Republicans for quite a while. thats why you have people crying at townhalls saying “I want my country back”. You aint never gettin’ it back unless there is some sort of contageous deadly disease pandemic & teh whites have a super special immunity. Republicans screwed up by making Johnny McCain denounce his own immigration bill. The Latinos are never coming back into the GOP fold, nevah-evah…
hobospacejunkie: I love it when you get all Wayne Brady on the “whore’s”.
All in all, make no mistake
REPUBLICANS ARE ASSHOLES
But the MSM can eat a galactic cluster of raw dicks. Just like the Iraq war, they are going to lead us into HCR damnation. How many hours of old fat retards with Obama-is-Hitler signs can you jam in 24 hours of cable news? Oh yeah, we’re talking about Van Jones..ok.
Now if you excuse me, I’m on my way to the previous thread to make fun of purple tuggernuts.

AKAM80TheWolf: Sorry mate…I’m still waiting for my permission slip from Guiliani. I was told though that he did sign it, but i fear in playing around with his next future wife, he either forgot to sign the paperwork or hell, just blew all the allocated money on her or his travel and thus, sadly, his post office closed. Again, my apologizes. Happy Labor Day (or Unemployment Line Deferment Day) folks…time to make some moonshine,or just show my ass all over the shops. Good night children, and fellow Donkey Punchers, though I don’t advocate domestic violence. Peace!

I agree. Now, then, and forever, it’s the economy, stupid. Doesn’t even have to be that great as long as people feel like it’s rebounding.

Brilliant. Love the Grassley Jitterbug part! Prez has kind of sort of said this over time. If you all are in good faith and not bat shit I’ll deal with ya, if not don’t let the door hit you. Everyone should read above. Well done.
Suds McKenzie: In that case I thank you with humility, and for the link.
MGBYG: Well, it’s rare but we finally have a shortsshortsshorts sighting.
Mrsinister, if you’re not going to bring the snark through brevity, then you have to lead us through the ramblings and cap it off with funny at the end, or GTFO. Sorry.
WTF happened, here? It’s like a Peggy Noonan bourbon & percocet OD. That is to say that it’s an utterly and wholely beautiful disaster.
LoweredPeninsula: If the overlords do not provide us with our weekend Noonanniness, then someone must step up to the plate and Noonan it up, so to speak.
gurukalehuru: I do prefer my weekend Noonannies, though, to be the result of misguided snark (and copious amounts of alcohol if the poster is a ‘fun’ drunk) and sometimes even idiot wingnut trolls as opposed to pure bitterness and bile from our own. I get my fill of bitter, and then some, on the other political sites I haunt.
Please, for the love FDR (may he be showered with praises foreverly, amen), let the bitters hijack other sites. I’m as bitter as the next, and was never an Obama fan as fanboys and fangirls go, but I come here seeking refuge from bitters, and I imagine I’m not the only one.
So, with that said, let’s continue our full-frontal funnies against The Beckness and his crotch-pheasant brethren.
artbot2000: “Maus,
You quote a Berkeley libertarian circle jerk blog, and that’s your peerless source for denouncing someone? What, are the larouchies too reasonable for you?”
Nah, I don’t think he’s a GOP level of worthless, but he does have a history of poor choices. I could probably search for a more reliable source and I could possibly stick up for him, but there are probably better choices for the role that have less baggage and less stupid decisions behind them. Ultimately I think he seems kind of suspect for the role, but that’s my personal opinion and has less to do with the choice for him to resign than the GOP and Glenn Beck’s reasons to demand his resignation.
Also lord knows I have enough dumbshit libertarians and LaRouchies to deal with in Seattle
The entitlement of people who get into cushy tech jobs is unbelievable, I tell you.

This is why Wonkett should not do weekend threads. They suck. And I hope Mrs. Innister finds the help she so desperately needs.
Geez Louise, people, you can always skip the long ones.

tomorrow! i love the snark i find here, but not today. today i feel angry, a few are controlling the dialogue and it has to stop. where was all this hysteria when we had a administration starting two wars, paying for it off the books, illegally spying on us, torturing at will, politicizing the justice department, handing out money to corporations with no strings attached, no bid multibillian dollar contracts, a historic deficit after inheriting a historic surplus, basically shreading the constitution. ahhhh, fuck snark! that is the country these people want back? i think we have lost our balance and fallen off the bike. i like it here but i hate to see what is happening to the neighborhood. yeah, i’m angry.
I missed whatever happened this weekend, but at least it wasn’t funny, I gather.
President Max Baucus & VP Olympia Snowe have submitted this lovely health reform bill: NO public option, crap ass co-ops over time. Jesus.
http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/09/07/health.care/index.html
InsidiousTuna: Not only unfunny, but tedious, irrelevant and bloviatory! A quatrifecta!
Republicans are assholes. Van Jones was the cannon fodder used to highlight that fact.
Today, we are all out-of-work, ranting, 9/11 Truthers,
arewethereyet: the wingnuts know in the dark and secret recesses of their loathesome hearts that they fucked up big time when they went with the bush league. the insane hatred they spew is a reflection of the self-hatred they dare not unleash upon themselves, it is so intense it will destroy them (it may destroy them anyway. bets are being taken in the back room). the lies they worship are to keep them from having to get up off their knees, wipe the come off their faces, and scream out their hatred at the criminals who took their country into the wrong war, wrecked its army and its laws, and looted its treasury. they dare not admit the role they played in all this so they lash out at anyone who tells them any truth that contravenes their misconceptions and superstitions. they stand at night under an empty sky, the idiot wind blowing through their minds.
user-of-owls: Yet you continue to be seriously unfunny.
Nerdalicious: Then surely at least they can’t say no to pre-existing conditions? I’m too afraid to look. We’re gonna get a lot of “20 million more covered is better than nothing.” when in reality it’s giving 20m more customers to the already insanely profitable insurance cos.
S.Luggo: Don’t call him Glennda! His name is Becky.
didn’t former Viz Prez Cheney tell Sen. Leahy to “F**K YOURSELF” in the esteemed hall of congress?
nobody complained at that time about bad language, etc.
but i guess repugs are exempt from the normal niceties of official interaction.
Click: So do you.
I would like to take a moment during this Labor Day lunch hour (EST) to say how very, very scary it has been over the last three days to watch this thread become progressively more demented, and not in a good way, “demented.” Could I have intervened, somehow? Perhaps. Instead, however, I chose to sit and watch the degeneracy spiral towards hell.
So, I blame myself for this crappy holiday weekend thread.
Isn’t firing a black man from a green job because some redneck doesn’t like an off-color remark showing the white fag?

Don’t read the article if you can’t bear it. It’s bad. This administration is turning out to be Progressive hell. Expected the world, then being told to grow up & get with the corporate program. There was a big hint of this in the inaugural address. I love how they drop all these shit bombs (Van Jones booted, rethug takeover of the administration), over the holiday weekend. Like nobody will notice. Glad you liked the donkey spineless cartoon, you will see more of this and then some. Any ideas for 2012? The wheels are turning…..

Nerdalicious: Here’s an brief comparison on how health care is handled in five different rich countries - maybe a better model for America can be found within:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/sickaroundtheworld/countries/
Plastic Jesus is weeping at this thread, weeping epoxy tears and such. I’m told, but rarely believe, that when Christ was hinted he should maybe say bad things about taxation by Romans, he said ‘Hey, look whose head is on this coin thing? Also, I’ve never seen one, so I’ll just keep it as a memento.’
There you go. Hopey, in Christ-like imitation, turns the other cheek. He soothes the troubled Birthers and T-Baggers and Aged Death Panel Defiers and general assholes and so forth. Did you think the first black president could go all medieval on somebody’s ass? No, his own party might string him up, again in the imitation of Christ. And thus he is a meek ass between two burdens, who, unmuzzled, treadeth out the legislation. Hey, whatever *did* happen to the Clinton health-care reform? Yeah, died a horrible death in a Dem majority senate.
Srsly, u guys!
U guys! Srsly.

Nerdalicious: You need to get some bill out of the Senate. It could be one that says that the insurance companies have the right to harvest your organs while you’re still alive and you (the insured) have to pay for it. Doesn’t really matter what it says.
Then the House passes their bill. Then the two houses negotiate a bill that will be presented to both houses. (Hopefully the House Bill will be the model of that).
Now here’s the tricky part. You have to present the bill as a budget reconciliation when it goes to the floor again. Then you no longer need 60 votes to pass what comes out of that. There are rules that a reconciliation bill must abide by, including one in the House that forbids reconciliation from raising the deficit.
http://digital.library.unt.edu/govdocs/crs/permalink/meta-crs-551:1
But you do need something in the Senate that will get 60 votes first.
fishskicanoe:
Thanks :). Spector & Daschle are for reconciliation bill. Jesus, Grassley & Conrad. They know what they can do with their co-ops & triggers. Pull the GD plug on them.
Congress Daily: “Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa., told Fox News Sunday that the tactic should be viewed as a last resort but is something he would consider supporting. Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., said last week after meeting with President Obama that it could be the only way to advance a bill. … Senate Finance ranking member Charles Grassley, who joined Conrad on CBS, trumpeted his committee’s plan to establish a co-op system of healthcare coverage as an alternative to the health insurance public option that many Democrats support” (Noyes, 8/23).
Quasi: Actually, coming back to read from where I left off, I noticed a typo.
That last bit was supposed to ask about “showing the white flag,” but if your interpretation was that I called Beck a “white fag” I’m content.
Darkness: You are right. Obama should have given Van Jones the Medal of Freedom, then no one could question him.
It is too bad that Obama is not an asshole. But I guess that is why we all liked him. He was a refreshing breath of fress asshole-less air. Now I am over it. Van Jones is my kind of asshole. Van Jones for President!
TGY: ‘zactly!
What the Obama administration needs now is a Great White Hope.

Guppy06: “The 18-40 year olds who voted in ‘04 voted for an idea, a pre-packaged dream that would stand up to anything that Disney puts out.” WTF? No, they voted for Obama because were were scared shitless of losing their job, their house, their 401Ks under another Repubatard administration led by a guy who went to bed at 8 o’clock every night, with a wack-job from nowhere VP itching to take his place.
SayItWithWookies: Awesome. It was like a flashback to when we fell in love.
So this was the first time I stuck with a weekend thread all the way through. I learned a lot and made some new friends, found some interesting links and learned about what was right with America. I regret not seeing more pictures of puppies, but I believe that was in the other thread. Is it always like this?
house of the blue lights: That expressed my sentiments nicely.
I’m not black, so here goes:
REPUBLICANS ARE ASSHOLES!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok Obama, just try to fire me for saying it, I’LL play the race card on YOUR ass!
hey that felt good. One more time before I go:

I could get used to this
trickyrick: Don’t you look forward to calling him Pres. Fuckabee?
A couple of helpful suggestions that might prevent threads like this from metastasizing:
1) Please stay on topic unless it’s an open-thread kind of post. (AND EVEN THEN SHOW SOME BASIC CONVERSATIONAL DECORUM.) We are tired of seeing the first several goddamned comments having absolutely nothing to do with the post.
2) Limit yourself. Police yourself. Do you need to make a hundred fucking comments about nothing, per post? No, you don’t. Good comments make a good site much better. Jabbering nonsense makes a good site intolerable.
BlueStateLibtard: I been hearing this about the religous right for decades. Somehow one generation replaces another and they go from strength to strength.

“where was all this hysteria when we had a administration starting two wars, paying for it off the books, illegally spying on us, torturing at will, politicizing the justice department, handing out money to corporations with no strings attached, no bid multibillian dollar contracts, a historic deficit after inheriting a historic surplus, basically shreading the constitution.”
Hopey is still doing it all. It’s the 3rd Bush admin, I’m sorry to say.

Who needs death panels?
Neilist: Neilist, I have to congratulate you. You only “contributed” to this thread once.
Before it started to bloat like that fat mutant Jap kid in “Akira.”
Or “MrSinnister.”
Same thing, probably.
:::Sniff:::
I tried to stand up and fly straight, but it wasn’t easy with that sumbitch Reagan in the White House. I dunno. They say he’s a decent man, so maybe his advisors are confused.
If John Ashcroft can be run out of office by the libtards for being a foot-washing baptist that thinks tommy chong ought to be arrested for owning a bong then a (former?) commie, potty-mouthed, Noetic-loon green-job/SCIENCE advisor deserves the same. Though it’s not even on the same scale (attorney general vs. advisor/basketball-pal) it’s tit for tat, baby, what ye have sown ye shall reap. And lay off the whole tired racist thing, it’s all too transparant and stupid, like these idiots wetting their pants about Obama wanting kids to study hard being socialist indoctrination when there’s nothing Obama could say that would please them, you all hate Alan Keyes and Michael Steele, ESPECIALLY because they’re uppity NEEEGROZE, just of the wrong political persuasion, don’t even try to deny it…
Jim89048: Yeah, but posting the speech in advance won’t stop some people from keeping their kids home from school tomorrow. They probably think he’ll ad lib an “Allahu Akbar” or two.
World Nut Daily is claiming their stringer in Israel, Aaron Klein, brought down the green czar. Beck is graciously claiming it was Americans who did it, his own efforts not withstanding.
From Washington Monthly on the subject czars:
Bush/Cheney not only kept some of the czars left over from the Clinton and the H.W. Bush administrations, but also oversaw the creation of a “food safety czar,” a “cybersecurity czar,” a “regulatory czar,” an “AIDS czar,” a “manufacturing czar,” an “intelligence czar,” a “bird-flu czar,” and a “Katrina czar.”
I doubt naming the head of a single issue something different, i.e., ‘Health Patriot,’ would mollify any loons but it would be nice to grab their key phrases. And instead of little flag lapel pins make up little pins of the Constitution. With the Pledge of Allegiance on the reverse side.
plowman: Actually I hate Michael Steele because he’s the RNC chair and has been kowtowing to the Limbaugh and Hannity crowd at a time when those folks are veering into whacko “let’s start a violent revolution” territory. It really pisses me off.
And Alan Keyes is just fucking nuts. I sort of feel sorry for him, except when he’s prattling on about abortion. Then he really lets his hate flag fly and it’s hard not to have a visceral hateful reaction.
OTOH, the folks who are raging the loudest about Van Jones are the same ones who have been saying Obama hates white people, not to mention calling liberals reverse-racists for decades . I believe the phrase you used, “reap what you sow”, is quite accurate here.
Now, I don’t feel too sorry for old Van here, for some of the reasons you mentioned actually, but the rest of your statement is grade-A BS. I kind of think you know it, too.
plowman: Can any of your kind manage to write anything without using all caps? It must have been killing you not to use them writing that, but I see you let loose at the end! Redstate is your friend.
plowman: Yeah, about that, uh, could you enlighten me as to why a (sane) grown adult would want to go around washing other men’s feet? Is it a fetish? I’m aware that Jesus washed his disciple’s feet, but he probably had the same fetish, and anyhoo, that was a whole different era. But it didn’t bother me personally that Ashcroft had a foot fetish, as the fact that he wrote this crappy piece of shit excuse of a song. That was more than enough reason to haul his ass back to the snake handling backwater he sprang from. To stay O/T, did Van ever pull shit out of the toilet and smear it to paper, then claim to have composed music? If not, I’d be cool with it if he hung around a while.
plowman: I hate to contribute to this meandering humor-free thread, but your Ashcroft comparison is a false equivalency. Van Jones was working on green jobs initiatives while John Ashcroft ran the Justice Department and was the most powerful law-enforcement official in the country, and there was concern that he carried out his duties from a biblical perspective wholly at odds with that whole “separation of church and state” thing you may have heard about. Saying ye have reaped what you sowed is an insultingly flip way of dismissing the point.
As for Keyes and Steele, neither one of them is either as accomplished or anywhere close to the same intellectual class as Obama. Keyes is a full-fledged Birther and religious nut, and Steele is just a buffoon who lacks a basic understanding of many of the issues he’s talking about and an ego wholly out of proportion with his accomplishments. And yeah, I also hate him because he plays for the wrong side. Couldn’t care less about either man’s skin color; they’re just as dumb as Limbaugh or Beck or Hannity or Breitbart.
The hatred of Obama is in a class by itself, but I’m not going to take the time or space to write a sociological essay on the reasons why. Just know that your assertion that the whole racist thing is “transparent and stupid” is wrong for a list of reasons longer than the cumulative length of the warehouse full of lightly salted rat dicks I now invite you to eat.

2 things to remember guys.
1: Glen Beck is a child molesting Cannibal. Granted, his favored prey is young boys (between the ages of 3 and 5, I’m told) but Van Jones is a big black liberal. That’s like a giant chocolate Easter bunny for a hell-spawn flesh eater like Beck. Without Secret Service protection, what chance did Van have, really? I understand at this moment Van is fleeing for the Canadian border where the socialized medicines act as a silver plated garlic crucifix to conservatives like Beck, he need only worry about Sara Palin and her liberal hunting helicopter at this point. I hope all of you will join me in the following…
Run Van! RUN!!!!
2: The battle is health care. Sometimes, to take a hill, you have to accept some casualties. We can’t stop the offensive to medivac Van to safety, he’s standing on a landmine, to quote my favorite Sgt in full metal jacket,”when he lifts his foot, it’s going to go off. Get away from him, he’s a dead man”.
Maybe that was Boys of Company C, as I come to think of it, but what the hell, this is the Internet, if a say it’s a line from Full Metal Jacket, then that’s what it is.
plowman: It’s really not about Van Jones, it’s about you guys, what you’ve done to this country and your lack of awareness or contrition. You and your jackass friends drove the country into a ditch and instead of hanging your heads in shame you snicker as you try bring down the guy we hired to fix the lame shit you left on his plate. We are hugely thankful that your demographic is dying off faster than you can reproduce.
S.Luggo: No. We usually play records, do each other’s hair, and talk about boys. Sometimes, we take Mystery Date out and play that.
imissopus: I read the whole thing and I’m glad I did. Well spoken.
(since this had long before become a meta-discussion, I declare this post on-topic)
S.Luggo: National discourse just isn’t the same without Bush:
“You know, I’m the President during this period of time, but I think when the history of this period is written, people will realize a lot of the decisions that were made on Wall Street took place over a decade or so, before I arrived in President, during I arrived in President.” –George W. Bush, ABC News interview, Dec. 1, 2008.
All the pathetic hating motherfuckers here are too fucking sad to hit page down, at least stream Jon Stewart or whatever in the background (it’s free from Comedy Central, like many other shows if you’re as smart enough to know “the funny” as you are as inept in presenting it), or look up one bit to the top of the screen. You have contractors drinking out of each other’s assholes, but apparently that’s too much a challenge for the witty here…I like how you think I give a damn about what you think..and for the record, only commenting on what’s funny…isn’t funny. Good luck posers.
I’m just hoping the wing nuts won’t realize that the N1H1 flu vaccinations that our new socialist government is disseminating are really just shots of indoctrination fluid. If Obama can just get helpless white, Republican school children to take them, he can jump start the revolution Beck is warning about.
There’s a time to be serious and a time for humor and laughter. Clapping for it like some seal or gimp does nothing but make you look like a shallow loser. I’m sure you run in packs, so I won’t risk being jumped, but I hope YOU get the help you need, or at best a whoppee cushion. Had you waited, it would’ve probably gotten to levity after the initial freak out period. But that’s why I guess there shouldn’t be any weekend threads…nothing worse than drunks at the PC’s with nothing to bring…not even their own “funny”. FUCK OFF. I await a banhammer or whatever you weaklings do for your gang and petty humor.
mrsinnister: Don’t forget to take your flu shots.
Cicada: Please accept my appologies for laying out bullshit on such an august forum, I promise to be much more earnest in the future…
BlueStateLibtard: I would’ve typed all CAOPS WIGHT PooR SPELING BUT MY KEEBOARD IS BUSTED< TOO MaNy rAT DIcks stICK in the KeYS
RoscoePColtraine: Footwashing might be slightly homo-erotic but the really strange aspect to Christianity is the whole cannibalism angle, ‘body of christ, blood of christ’, jesus bloody christ, how can anybody enjoy going to Morrison’s Cafeteria after church with all that!?
imissopus: Don’t they sell those salted rat dicks off of carts in the Phillipines, right down the street where yo’ mama takes it up the ass bareback for $2 a throw?
Oldskool: Me and my jackass friends don’t run this country, now or then, we’d institute free stickybud and beer for everybody (along with single payer healthcare, tax the fuck out of dino-fuels, get the hell out of the shithole mideast and subsidize boob jobs, free even for ‘aesthetically challenged’ chicks) even you’d notice the changes!
Is there a Rectal Banhammer?
imissopus: I must now amend your comment, and the Jim Newell internet meme, to the phrase: “lightly salted giant rat dicks.”
http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_8210000/8210394.stm
I am willing to sponsor a breeding pair of them on H1B visas so that the bag of lightly salted giant rat dicks can proudly wear the “Made In America” label.
All hail the Bosavi wooly rat!
plowman: You weren’t talking about Christianity, you were talking about Baptists, who count among their retarded adherents one former Atty Gen John Ashcroft, whose song-craft causes me to long for the comfort of a padded room and complimentary shot of Thorazine. There is no comparison at all between Ashcroft and Van Jones. You are quite the Simple Simon to equate the two.
mrsinnister: And you could have had such a fun time here with all us “sinisters”, but you had to blow it by being an asshole of gaping, fuckable, proportions.
plowman: Nope, you are still a queef without teef.
mrsinnister: Poor little bitter asshole; go find someone else’s chest to shit on, you fucktwat.
Too soon; too vulgar?
mrsinnister: Banhammer?
Dude, you’re post 125, 144 and 205 of 270. Newell will likely hit the PC literally bleeding from every orifice after a long weekend of rough sex, vodka and mescaline, immediately google “trig Palin” and in moments (perhaps sooner), this entire thread will disappear into the memory hole that is the Library of Congress and everybody will attempt to go back to the funny (with varying levels of success).
If you want the ban hammer, try linking to your blog. The Gods of Wonkette really hate that, being incontinent and unfunny is not normally a ban hammer level infraction, it’s just considered bush league and not really notable.
RoscoePColtraine: Thought they were one and the same, to hear Baptists tell it they are the only real Christians. I think we all completely understand your discomfort with Ashcroft’s songcraft but what part of “Though it’s not even on the same scale (attorney general vs. advisor/basketball-pal…” can’t you grasp? If Van is such a peon then why the enormous outpouring of angst in this strange thread? Because Hopey is smart enough to retire a very junior person who’s source of pointless controversy when he needs everyone’s attention focused on things that actually matter? Or do you lunatics actually think this is a great injustice done a great man by the evil Bushies who actually run the world from the secret underground Skull and Bones command center? The guy is a loudmouth who doesn’t pay attention to what he’s getting involved with, he never should’ve been there, there’s only so much room for folk like him AND Joe Biden in one administration… (damn it, those caps again)
the problem child: Just in case I see an issue I want to vent on and get stuck with people who tell maybe two jokes then call a place their home (yeah, the smoke filled stoners on your couch), without paying for not one kilobyte of bandwidth, please enlighten me on what I should do to procure safe passage through your neighborhoods, waters, unknown lameness (by sheer denial)? I swear I’ll be a better citizen to your countries on the web elsewhere (you fucks are everywhere, contributing nothing, hating everything). I like how the shrill call people bitter. I know you lot don’t have anything you’re playing for. Republican, Dem, you usually go both ways and love taking whatever you get for the check, usually without the courtesy of at least washing for you interact with the rest of us, pretending we don’t see the stains on the back of your trousers, skirts, etc. Please enlighten me. I defer to your most wisest counsel, for I hear you own much land.
mrsinnister: Jeezalu, you just don’t know the value of moderation, do you? The problem is that you write paragraphs and paragraphs of the exact same comments that you can find anywhere on the web. It’s boring, that’s why you’re getting shit. Not the message, you dumbass.
LoweredPeninsula: No; and no.
mrsinnister: Congratulations on your imminent banning.
mrsinnister: Wow, you sound miserable. I’m sorry!
plowman:If you were going for sarcasm, I totally missed it. This is the problem with posting on a thread dominated by the unfunny earnest types with an axe to grind. My sarcast-o-meter gets all out of whack.
Gah, I might as well be over at HuffPo.
I just don’t know why people can’t just go to another thread, if they’re too sad to scroll a little. Didn’t expect to walk into a gang war, sorry. Grew up in the hood, didn’t think the fair had them too, although they’re creepily attached to their nightspots. They seem to always want to bouncers to feel you up extra good, and still look like you don’t belong there. Still, you people don’t know me. I’m like 210 of muscle with a great disposition, but I just have a bullshit allergy. I don’t get how anon people love to talk shit, and if someone without cause calls me a bitch again, I’ll provide my address to settle this out. If I say on topic, I expect others to do the same. Be funny around me, there’s plenty for everyone. I know much of the snark comes from dwelling from the closet, but I get too much vitrol directed from me just for living. I need some time off. Now if I was shitty enough to vent at a member, I could understand the treatment. But you lot wanted me to take it personally, and I have.
plowman: “Yo’ mama” jokes? Really? Your parents need to do a better job of monitoring the sites you visit on the interweb.
mrsinnister: Don’t have the energy to read back through this thread, but either your comments are entirely dickish and brought about angry responses, or you’re just whiny. Go brag somewhere else about how awesome you are.
memzilla: That is one giant fuckin’ rat. It must be said: I for one welcome our new Bosavi wooly rat overlords.
ForTheTurnstiles: Gracias.
dijetlo: Word. These long weekend threads never fail to attract someone who really should just get his/her own blog, doesn’t really get the Wonkett, and by Tuesday is banned back to the stone ages or AOL as the case may be, while a grateful commentariat seal-claps and awaits more shallow humour.
Cicada: Find another thread then. Attacking someone only makes them respond to the attack, or are you really just a simple troll. It’s hard to tell coming into realm of others, but I try to be respectful. I had only ranted twice, then interacted. Sorry if that doesn’t fit in your micro-jet setter world, but constantly seeing the lame attack the minor is also boring and tedious. I get you don’t like Denby, but damn, stop fucking projecting your lack of any awareness on me. I understand how you fucks feel already. I’ve said so. Still, I’m interacting, I’m not going to pack up and go cause a few morons want jokes. They have plenty of immediate resources.
El Pinche: Dude, in three months I’ll be happier than you’ll ever know. And a lot higher. There’s plenty of threads with issues I haven’t spoke about. I know that’s what these attacks are about, but I was through venting. This place will not be a home for me. I won’t have to attack people for cred…I’m just not that sad, despite the current discourse. Have fun though, not being sarcastic but there’s much to gain for it. I wish you lot well.
mrsinnister: Dude, quit digging. You’re like a prospector who’s totally sure there’s oil down here if you can just go another twenty feet.
You know, they really shouldn’t let us go this long without adult supervision.
I’m gonna go run around with this pair of scissors, ‘k?
mrsinnister: “you fucks are everywhere, contributing nothing, hating everything.” But some day a real rain will come (etc.) Yes?
mrsinnister: Well I now officially hate your ass. Wonkette is a filthy bitch who loves her comments funny and lean. GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE. What, did you end up here on a re-direct from TPM? Do you have no concept of what the hell this blog IS? This isn’t some wank-fest for you to vent your issues. No wait, you made it one and that’s why I fucking hate you. DIE!!! DIE!!! DIE!!!
No really, fuck off.
plowman: Because Hopey is smart enough to retire a very junior person who’s source of pointless controversy when he needs everyone’s attention focused on things that actually matter?
The point is that the controversy is pointless. Yes, Van Jones was forced out. Yes, it was Glenda Beck et al who stirred the pot. We’re not here to argue the reality of it, we’re here to mock and ridicule the stupidity of it. There is a very good reason why you failed to grasp this.
imissopus: So just like anything else, you saw a fight, then just decided you had to get your licks in too right? Share the EXP or GOLD or something. Maybe read up on what you think they’re attacking me about. Use CTR-F and type mrsinnister. That’s all. I love the lynch mob mentality of Americans. We got dat dere stranger here with his witch doctor ways…git em! Read up on why you hate me..don’t just assume my comments on being attack are directed to all of you, including the innocent. That’s all I ask. If not, stop trying to make me out to be a bitter lout. I admit I was ignorant about this place, it was the first that popped up on Google when I saw the news on MSNBC (it was breaking then, it’s just heartbreaking to see how the libs and other americans eat each other here now, but I’m in the wrong place). I was angry about a few other Obama bend-overs and vented in the wrong place. I AM FUCKING SORRY.
It really is so very predictable, this trajectory. Chump comes here, chump fails utterly to grasp or seek to understand what the place is about, chump posts stuff which is unfailingly boring/irrelevant/self-referential, chump’s posts get more frequent and longer, chump is called out, chump says ‘ban me, I don’t care’….no more chump.
Any old-timers wanna do the roll-call?
This thread makes Baby K. Smith cry.
Cicada: Fuck you. Short enough?
mrsinnister: Finally, some fucking brevity. Still no wit, but an improvement.
mrsinnister: “Share the EXP or GOLD or something.”
This from a guy with Sephiroth as his avatar?
Cicada: Baby steps!
user-of-owls: Chump could make probably weak keyboarder toughguy eat his own shoes. And would if he knew your address. Chump takes being attacked for making the wrong turn very personally. Chump wouldn’t make long paragraphs if lamers wouldn’t keep trying to earn tweet-cred off him. Chump will type more and more and stay until banned if tweeters don’t shut the fuck up. Chump wants you to know he gets your overall message however dickish anon people always need to explain things. Chump wants you to get his to before he leaves. Chump doesn’t work until Wednes. Chump can make this go on long time.
dijetlo: Full Metal Jacket…
“There is no racial bigotry here. I do not look down on niggers, kikes, wops or greasers. Here you are all equally worthless. And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers.”
Guppy06: What the fuck did I do to you? I thought you make very good points. How they always break your heart, lol.
mrsinnister: Waaaaaaaaaaaa! [silence]. Can’t wait.
mrsinnister: Wow, a three sentence post! Maybe you can stick around after all. But I doubt it.
mrsinnister: mrsinnister: mrsinnister:
You just can’t fucking help yourself. You’re absolutely pitiful. You are still bloviating as if you’re some Oreck in reverse. Quite literally, you blow. Like a toothless hooker; you blow.
Smoke Filled Roommate: And I was just going to glance just to see what links and stuff was put up. Didn’t think people would try to start or earn their little careers off me. I’m no Obama though. You want a fight, I’ll take whoever necessary.
mrsinnister: “tweet-cred” That’s actually pretty good.
This thread makes me want to carve a backwards V in my face.
mrsinnister: Tweet-cred? You delusional sad-sack. I will say this once more: this is a sarcastic, bitchy, snarky place. That is why us long-timers come here. If I wanted paragraphs of diatribe, I would go to HuffPo, TPM, or some other forum. That isn’t what Wonkette is about, or has ever been about. People tried to tell you this, but you insist on making it about your “message”.
*sigh*
Have fun necroposting. I think you officially killed this thread. Asshole.
mrsinnister:
Re: Your kindly offer to provide your address to settle some internet tough guy point should anyone call you a “bitch” again.
My dearest Mrs. Innister…
*ahem*
“bitch”
Gawd I hope you are idiot, errrr, I mean honourable and wise enough to actually follow through and give us your address. Rest assured that the pizzas, burritos, and chicken chow mein that will begin arriving at your door C.O.D. are just our way of helping you deal with and “settle” your issue. Which I am assuring to be one of hunger. Of course, should you decide not to post your address, allow me to cordially invite you to munch on a bag of dicks.
And to think if I was still a productive member of society, I’d have likely gone off and gotten drunk this weekend and missed all of this. Guess this
depressionrecession has been good for something after all.mrsinnister: Unashamed dick says what? So, now you’re making physical threats? You keep topping your patheticness.
Chump, chump, chump, chumb…chump, chump, chumb…chump, chump, chumb…chump, chump, chumb…yo mama’s so fucking fat that she’s a chump…chump, chump, chumb…chump, chump, chumb…
El Pinche: You are a shining example to all of us, Pinch-y. Brief, on-topic, and fucking hilarious.
El Pinche: Hee!
the problem child: An asshole of gaping, fuckable, proportions? I say hellooooo sailor!
sezme: We are who we eat.
mrsinnister: Boo, as any Asian prostitute will tell you, if you don’t fuck them long time, you don’t get the dollar.
Cicada:fucking brevity
I’m not one to pry but…I think you guys are doing this wrong.
Google “Sting, Tantric Sex” or “The eight hour orgasm” and kids, no glove, no love…use protection.
Guppy06: Sephiroth as his avatar?
Fuck! It’s midnight on labor day and now, I gots to use the googles….A FUCKING VIDEO GAME!! Oh, your shitting me, you made me google a character from Final Fantasy? You’re internet Uncle is seriously unimpressed, Gup…
Ye gods, this is turning into an Encyclopedia Dramatica article.
Good gawd, people!
It’s midday Tuesday, and this thread is still going on? I feel I should call Children’s Protective Services to look in on you poor abandoned ones… especially the gaping arsehole who keeps shitting himself and flinging it at the rest of you…
mrsinnister: Dude, you’re sad at the sacrifice of Van Jones that Obama did. We are too. You dislike the Cheney era. We do too. We all get it.
But this place is for topical snark, not just venting for venting’s sake. Mostly we keep it short and use ¶ breaks.
Good netiquette at any site you’re new to means you lurk for a while and get a feel for the place before you post. And you don’t disrespect posters like Cicada who have been around since the AMC Days and command complete crowd cred.
That’s what you didn’t do, and that’s why the attacks on you have now gotten personal, and that’s why the high pitched whistling sound of a freshly WD40-ed BanHammer is growing louder and louder.
Be short, be topical, be funny, bring the snark and be welcome.
Click:
I knew somebody would do that, Click.
I’m just sorry it was you.
Go stand over there with Gup….
I never knew “failure pile in a sadness bowl” could be applied to a person..
dijetlo: I am not a guy, and I’m pretty sure I’m doing it right. At least i haven’t gotten any complaints. And, as a female (if not a lady) I have to say that just the idea of 8 hour orgasms and tantric sex sessions makes me chapped and sore.
“I’m like 210 of muscle with a great disposition, but I just have a bullshit allergy. I don’t get how anon people love to talk shit, and if someone without cause calls me a bitch again, I’ll provide my address to settle this out.”
How in the hell did I miss that? It’s fucking comedic GOLD! You ain’t lookin’ for a fight, you’re looking for dick, son! “210 of muscle with a great disposition but I just have a bullshit allergy.” sounds like one of the many freaky Craig’s list personals, to me.
Oh, “fat bitch”. Also.
LoweredPeninsula: Bullshit allergy means he’s a bottom.
memzilla: AMC = American Movie Channel, right? Heh-heh. Oh golly, I’ve wasted my life.
dijetlo: “You’re internet Uncle is seriously unimpressed, Gup”
What, do you expect me to spend my entire weekend posting in some warblog thread? Oh, wait…
It’s not like I was getting laid in high school! Or college! Or lately!
RoscoePColtraine , Cicada:
Is this one of those 72 hour avant garde art things? Because it is sort of funny in a 1974 kind of way. If it isn’t then we’re going to have to pull this car over and make you kids ride up top with Seamus for a few miles.
mrsinnister: Here you go. you two were made for each other;
http://marmel.com/category/horrible-things/
102415: Shhhhh….don’t ruin the surprise. We have Andy Kaufman’s zombie waiting in the wings. He’s gonna totally blow the socks off of everyone by wrestling mrsinnister!
Too soon?
Guppy06: HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS
102415: I wish I could see Layne’s and Newell’s faces when they see the El Topo of threads.
mrsinnister: That impressive monologue will sound much better when you are reading it aloud as I sit on your face.
And on the eighth day, wonkette rested.
El Pinche: An El Topo reference? I fucking love you.
Quasi: I saw what I wanted to see.
Cicada: Tonight, we’re all female dwarfs.
When a Wonkette thread & a long weekend love each other very very much, something magical & mysterious happens … & I missed it.
Ooh-WHEE. A thread as big as a pornstar’s schlong, complete with ubiquitous prolix InternetToughGuy.
Anyone make a joke about the rising rate of black-on-black political violence yet? No? Then neither will I.
El Pinche: Cicada: El Topo is far more rational and coherent than this thread… but don’t trust me, cos I’m just a dirty furriner - see for yourself!
Mr Blifil: Bwhahaha!
Hellish car wrecks are the best car wrecks. Somewhere in Hell (most certainly the non-minority section of Hell), Nixon is jerking off and laughing in pure ecstasy at this sadism.
mrsinnister: [Insert humorless insult here.] Your mama, also.
Can we get to 1,000 ridiculous, insulting posts, people? I need something to hope for, now that a government-sponsored healthcare plan is hopeless.
mrsinnister: Cut me some slack, jack…chump don wan no help, chump don git no help. Jive ass dude don got no brains anyhow. chump chump chump
If I don’t see the phrase “tweet-cred” on every thread from here on out, I am never ever coming back. Never fucking ever!
mrsinnister: ” I’m like 210 of muscle with a great disposition, but I just have a bullshit allergy. I don’t get how anon people love to talk shit, and if someone without cause calls me a bitch again, I’ll provide my address to settle this out.”
I have one big muscle that people say has a relatively pleasant disposition.
Also, bitch.
Is this much-vaunted bullshit allergy some sort of environmental sensitivity like chronic fatigue, or some sort of electromagnetism-based bullshit, like an allergy to radio waves?
I’m just waiting until some adult realizes this isn’t really a funny topic in the first place and just is the better person and just move on. Pretty much the conflict killed what was dying anyway.
Again, there’s like Kabul assdrinkers up there just asking for it..lol. What’s this really all about? I know I encroached on the club but DAAAAYYYYYYMMMMMM, I’ve never seen so many closet cases needing to vent on the new person. I have other shit to do now…won’t be back..keep blasting away until you come out or get cum into, don’t care.
Rats. Mrs. Innister is leaving us! And I was starting to warm to her too. I’m sure, given time, we could have dropped the hostility and come closer as human beings. Maybe even grown to appreciate each other’s better qualities, not to mention learned some valuable lessons about friendship, judgement, and eating a bag of dicks.
You’re a cruel lot of savage beasts. If anything, no less than 25 of you should receive the gas chamber. THERE ARE LAWS, you brutes. You cannot lead somebody into the realm of suicide. Poor, poor “mrsinnister.” You fucks got hold of the news and ate her faster than a plate of deep-fried buffalo wings. You should be ashamed. While however that machine was pumping out strange, innate piles of human cum, you cannot blame the machine. The very fact that it existed is a scorn for us all to bear. To hell, the whole lot of you.
mrsinnister: You are starting to remind of any number of commenter on youtube.
Don’t you get that this site isn’t about ‘winning’ arguments yet?
Bearbloke: Yes, it’s an insult to Jodorowsky. This thread is more like Mannequin 2: On the Move.
mrsinnister: “Give me cheekbones, or give me death! “
I dont know about “innate piles of human cum”, more like a sticky sock.
idiot son of an asshole: proofread your posts, jackass.
I want heads to roll for this thread.
Won’t Ken or Jim please feed my bloodlust? Pretty please? We haven’t had nice public executions in a while.
Holy shit this thread.
There will be blood.
Awwww…no fair, mrsinister. You brightened up what was an otherwise boring Labor Day weekend (given that so many folks are unemployed, these days). And, since everyone that criticized you is a homosexaul, threaten the board with some more physical violence; speak dirty to us, chump. Come back, chump; daddy like.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
RoscoePColtraine: Lighten up Sugarboy, youz gonna hurt yo’self…
damn, i just woke up from the weirdest dream…
This thread was not a total loss. I am totally going to add El Topo to my Netflix queue.
Si it was ok for Dick Cheney to tell Patrick Leahy to go fuck himself on the floor of the Senate, but it wasn’t ok for Van Jones to call Repbulicans assholes years before he got a White House job? When are the fucking Democrats going to grow a pair? The Republicans and their lackeys have been practicing this kind of intimidation for decades and no one stands up to them. There is only one way to deal with a bully. Kick his ass, and he crawls away crying. Let’s get to it. Fuck them, they are assholes.
DoktorZoom: Dead rabbits, dwarves and heavy black clothes in the desert.Drunk will be better than stoned I know that for a fact.
Words, words, words,
What’s really important is whether or not Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990.

Why would you link back this story????? your not trying to sell ad space with 14579 views are you?
No No..Wonkette does this for love.
