Afghanistan Asks: Et Tu, McChrystal?

  • Matt Yglesias needs some hot German tracks that he can sing in the shower. We recommend: Kraftwerk, Sammy Deluxe, and uh, Trio. [Matt Yglesias]
  • Before there was AdultFriendFinder.com, men of questionable character had to solicit sex over VHS. [The Daily Dish]
  • Michele Bachmann reveals the secrets of the universe. [Think Progress]
  • The 111th Congress class picture was ripe with the usual ass-grabs and suggestive hand gestures. [The Caucus]
  • Who murdered the War in Afghanistan? Was it McChrystal, in the ballroom, with classified documents on a CD-RW? Or was it blabbermouth Admiral Mullen, in the harem, gossiping with a teenage hooker? Or was it a jealous White House staffer who framed McChrystal because McChrystal is so handsome and it’s just not fair? Or? [Weekly Standard]
  • The Wise Latina thinks she can play baseball better than a white male. Composure, Lindsey Graham. Composure. [Swampland]

  1. Nothing on the humiliation of Lanny Davis’s pet coup in Honduras? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8269722.stm

    Well, we know the Wise Latina does the mambo better than Tom DeLay (no, you don’t get extra points for that show-off knee drop, you digusting pig). So why not baseball? If douchy white men are born with automatic rights to power in South Carolina, at the very least Puerto Ricans can all be born with pitching arms.

    There’s a British band that’s been getting good attendance in Hamburg — the Beatles or something. Yglesias should give ‘em a listen.

  4. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 4:51 pm, September 22nd, 2009

    As much as I love Kraftwerk, Matty should really pony up to the delicious Krautrawk that is Propaganda

  5. V572625694 says at 4:56 pm, September 22nd, 2009

    Jukesgrrl: That would be your Dominicans who are dominating beisbol this days, if I have my ethnic stereotypes in order.

  6. Together, the Fox News network and Bachmann create a very “truthy” tag-team.

    Oh, I can’t wait to see how long that lasts. “Teabag Team” Anyone ?

  7. teebob2000 says at 4:57 pm, September 22nd, 2009

    On the dating video thing — tell me the guy who starts at 0:57 isn’t talking about his date’s corpse after he’s tortured and raped her for 3 days in his basement/dungeon, and then slowly bled her to death and cut her into tall-kitchen-garbage-bag-sized pieces.

  8. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 5:02 pm, September 22nd, 2009

    Wow. Bachmann batshittery at its finest: “Alaskan caribou favor oil drilling because they like the warmth of the pipeline.” What? Did Michelle take a caribou poll or something?

  9. Note to Michelle Bachman: When O’Reilly finally teabags you for being such a good wingnut, those won’t be falafels you’ll be smelling.

  10. ManchuCandidate says at 5:03 pm, September 22nd, 2009

    Wingnuts will go apoplectic if the Wise Latina throws the baseball better than Lindsey and then demand a chromosome test to verify if she’s really female like a South African athlete recently was.

  11. Bachwomann in the shower with a VCR?

  12. ManchuCandidate says at 5:11 pm, September 22nd, 2009

    Bachmann Obi wan Kenobi Overdrive

    “Use the Factor, GOP”
    “The Insanity is with you… Always”
    “Your facts can deceive you; don’t trust them.”
    “The Factor is what gives a GOPer their power. It’s an energy field created by all insane things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the GOP together.”

    Re: Sully’s video
    @ 50 seconds isn’t that Lt.Dangle?

  14. rocktonsammy says at 5:16 pm, September 22nd, 2009

    $50 bucks for the first photo of Bachman getting out of a car with no underpants on.

    I gots to know if that thing is full bush or not.

  15. ManchuCandidate says at 5:19 pm, September 22nd, 2009

    rocktonsammy:
    Just $50?

    I’m sure that she’s “found” a verse in the bible that considers a Brazilian/landing strip a sin.

  16. “The 111th Congress class picture was ripe with the usual ass-grabs and suggestive hand gestures.”
    Did you mean, was RIFE with? Just askin’ …

  17. Extemporanus says at 5:33 pm, September 22nd, 2009

    While Sonia is throwing out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium, Lindsey will be catching the first pitch at Yank-Me Gaydium.

  18. I understand what Coburn’s little aide was talking about. After watching those hunks on VHS, suddenly I’m gay. Really, really gay.

  19. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 5:42 pm, September 22nd, 2009

    George Wills must be rolling in his grave now that his beloved baseball has been so tarnished.

  20. Johnny Zhivago says at 5:46 pm, September 22nd, 2009

    The Single Worst Political Website EVER!

    Holy shit, the parody is actually better:

  21. Paul Tardy says at 5:47 pm, September 22nd, 2009

    VHS! Why did I get BetaMax, why oh why?

  22. hockeymom says at 5:50 pm, September 22nd, 2009

    Bachmann “People vote with their feet”.

    I’VE BEEN DOING IT WRONG!1!!1

  23. Accordion-o-rama says at 5:52 pm, September 22nd, 2009

    Not only caribou, but Michele herself and, in fact, most of the RNC love a warm pipeline.

  24. slappypaddy says at 6:01 pm, September 22nd, 2009

    matt and michelle can get together and sing the horst wessel song to the caribous, that’s a favorite. then they can lay a little warm pipe together, see what kind of new batshit crazy they can generate.

  25. user-of-owls says at 6:06 pm, September 22nd, 2009

    queeraselvis v 2.0: Did Michelle take a caribou poll or something?

    You wouldn’t believe what those vile ruminants think about immigration and the estate tax.

  26. Tundra Grifter says at 6:53 pm, September 22nd, 2009

    hockeymom: That certainly explains why AlGore lost in Florida in 2000 - those stupid Democrats were voting with their hands!

  27. Tundra Grifter says at 6:55 pm, September 22nd, 2009

    user-of-owls: Don’t forget that the modern Alaskan caribou were imported from Siberia in the late 19th Century! This was pre-Commie Siberia, of course, so that makes them Czar Caribou!

    Or, perhaps that is the name of a popular Russian luncheon dish.

  28. user-of-owls says at 7:16 pm, September 22nd, 2009

    Tundra Grifter: Czapas! 100% Red-free!

  29. Neoyorquino says at 8:08 pm, September 22nd, 2009

    Trio’s ‘Da-Da-Da’ is okay, but ‘Drei Mann im Doppelbett’ would have been funnier.

  30. Robert Zimmerframe says at 9:34 pm, September 22nd, 2009

    I recommend Deutsch-Amerikanische Freundschaft, in particular ‘Der Mussolini’.

  31. flyingspaghettimonster says at 9:53 pm, September 22nd, 2009

    Nina Hagen’s version of White Punks on Dope is always a crowd pleaser

  32. The gem of this round-up was the blog post at the Weakly Reader…errr Standard where one of the interchangeable conservatards that work there opines that our President, is falling down on the job when it comes to spontaneously celebrating the slaughter of the browns in the third world shit holes where we invest our defense dollars.
    The limp thrust of the effort is our dusky overlord is “dithering” over a strategy that will bring decisive victory to our blessed war makers in exotic Afghanistan so it must be someone in the White House who leaked the ultra secret military report titled “Afghanistan: We are so fucked”. The Weakly blogger couldn’t explain why it would benefit the White House to do something like that and readily admits he has no proof such a thing actually happened but since it would be a felony, he sure hopes it was somebody in the White House.

  33. LowerdPeninsula says at 4:40 am, September 23rd, 2009

    Que? McChrystal is handsome?

    And, the Yankees have a “director of Latino Affairs”? Shouldn’t that be the other way around?

  34. remembers when Wonkette was funny says at 10:10 am, September 23rd, 2009

    I think poor over-taxed Mom Ms Bachmann just got fatigued, and got her statements crossed.

    Clearly, Caribou vote with their feet, and dear Michelle loves herself a nice warm pipe.

  35. BeWoot: I’m starting to think he may be using dictation software…
