THE MOST FRIGHTENING IMAGE KNOWN TO MAN (AND WO-MAN!): It’s your Wednesday Fun Link, everybody. And… OH JESUS GAH!! Kathleen Sebelius’ face is on fire! “Sebelius had a basal cell carcinoma removed from her forehead on Tuesday during a successful standard outpatient procedure, according to HHS spokeswoman Jenny Backus.” Gross. Take it back to Wichita! If this is what they mean by “health care,” we don’t want any part of it. [Washington Post]

Just in time for Halloween. [Hum (who knows the words anyway?) Thriller to self here].

Looks like someone’s dr. doesn’t want health care reform, Kathy.

Umm, Im pretty sure that’s just cum….

Knock it off. It’s not like she’s toting an Andy Warhol biography around.

Extemporanus October 21, 2009 at 3:23 pm

Now that she’s third eye blind, will see need to use a seeing eye dogma?

ManchuCandidate October 21, 2009 at 3:23 pm

Looks like the Silver Fox Sebelius went to the same surgeon as Janmakain did.

My sh** for brains Congress Critter, John Culberson, is running a poll on the homepage of his website. Vote for or against H.R. 3200. Only about 134 votes so far with the knuckle draggers in the lead by about 70% to 24%. http://culberson.house.gov You know what to do!!!

It’s gangi, from Arrested Development, basically.

skyinator October 21, 2009 at 3:25 pm

I had this same surgery, only the basal cell was near my eye and I looked just like her afterwards. It looks worse than it really is but I do feel for her. Cancer sucks.

Shit. I won’t even Blingee that.

I’ve had similar procedures without looking nearly so fucked up. Then again, I wasn’t exposing myself to the national media, either. Someone should’ve told KS to stay home. I imagine a few lunches were lost after seeing this abomination.

Oldskool October 21, 2009 at 3:30 pm

I thought one perk of being a big shot gubermint person was to avoid the public on your bad days.

This one is over the line, guys. Please move on to something funnier. Also.

Missed opportunity to Rock the Pirate Eyepatch.

Plus, I’m superstitious as hell and don’t want to end up looking like that.

…although…

it WOULD give me a reason to wear an eye-patch…

hobospacejunkie October 21, 2009 at 3:44 pm

If you have to get cancer, this is the one to get. Relative to the deadly cancers, basal cell is hardly worthy of the name. Provided you visit a dermatologist once a year (and you all should if you can afford to, skin cancer can fuck you up, a friend of mine couldn’t afford it & died at 27 when it spread) your doctor can easily remove pretty much all instances of basal cell. It’s really the pussy of cancers, very unlikely to metastasize or kill you.

shadowMark October 21, 2009 at 3:46 pm

[re=440904]gurukalehuru[/re]: I agree with you. Not funny.

thejesusandmarycheney October 21, 2009 at 3:47 pm

In addition to her Secretarial duties, Sebelius also writes for the snarky politics blog Wonkeye.com.

eclecticbrotha October 21, 2009 at 3:48 pm

Loved her when she guest starred in “The Corbomite Maneuver” episode on Star Trek. Kirk would probably still do her. Also.

Jim89048 October 21, 2009 at 3:54 pm

I wouldn’t hit that now, but up until Monday afternoon? OH, yeah…

Monsieur Grumpe October 21, 2009 at 3:56 pm

Looks like she had it removed with a cheese grater.

[re=440906]GreatOldOnesParty[/re]: Eye-patches are pretty fucking cool.

I attempted one in your stead (more of a tasteful Phantom of the Opera/Twilight Zone vibe), but Blingee is operating more like Tardee, and near impossible to use. I guess my eye-patch causing curse will have to wait until another day..

(A little too hard, apparently. Sorry Katester!)

It’s like I died and went to heaven Chicago.

She’s from Topeka, where preachers hate fags; not from Wichita, where right-to-lifers kill doctors. Big difference.

JohnnyMac October 21, 2009 at 4:07 pm

As a guy ignorant of such things I am curious: Is it standard practice to put makeup on your bandage, or is that only when you go on national TV?

Honestly, can’t we all just get along without making fun of someone’s physical deformity? (Peels off facemask to reveal lizard head.)

Only 220 votes counted? I voted that many times myself! FIX!

Extemporanus October 21, 2009 at 4:12 pm

[re=440933]Extemporanus[/re]: I vowed never to use that phrase, and then I go and use it in a literal sense.

I’m immediately kicking myself out of this thread, and sending myself to my room to reflect on what a bad person I am. I should’ve stopped with the bad “third eye” pun…

[re=440909]hobospacejunkie[/re]: My one was touching a tear duct so I had to have a special procedure, and it was _still_ almost trivial. This being Hollywood (well, Burbank) I escaped without a mark. (City statute: Dermatologists who let you go around looking like that photo can legally be culled.)

Wear sunscreen. Also.

Come here a minute October 21, 2009 at 4:21 pm

After the broken limbs for Hillary Clinton, Sonia Sotomayor, and Jill Biden, I guess the prez decided to get surgical on Sec. Sebelius — watch out for that guy!

Also, that image is very disturbing. I wish you’d have chosen something else. I realize that it’s a shameful part of American history that we should never forget, but it’s too much.

Rep. Culberson might want to rethink his position. Or redraw his district.

Trying to understand: is she brave, oblivious or just too far on the other side of attractive to give a fuck? At least consider the children!

[re=440905]Suds McKenzie[/re]: That’s what I thought. But I would go for the secret agent look. It could have been cool.

She might, perhaps, have considered wearing sunglsses for a day or two.

Oh, I dropped my Kathleen Sebelius doll and now its eyes look funny.

Trigvhe from Texas October 21, 2009 at 7:20 pm

That’s why we call her Kathleen Sebaceous.

thefrontpage October 21, 2009 at 7:22 pm

Kathleen Sabellisusuus told us that “going rogue” is British slang for unprotected anal sex.

She heard from some people who go to the College of the Ozarks, so it must be true.

Okay, isn’t the perfect example of when you should wear sunglasses indoors, or at least an eyepatch to make the surgery injury look cool? To go all Two Face bells-palsy on us ain’t cool, Madam Seb.

Scooter October 22, 2009 at 7:32 am

This one time, when I had basal cell carcinoma, the doctor cut out a big chunk of my lip and like threw it away, and then sewed it up real pretty but then it got way swollen, and some neighbors came over unexpected like the next day and when I answered the doorbell they both cringed. Well, this is kinda like that.
