    Mike Allen takes the loudest shits known to man. There are even key changes.

  2. germansteel says at 4:42 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    This also just in: “germansteel declines to run. Also.”

  3. memzilla says at 4:42 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    - DECIDES TO EAT SEVERAL BAGS OF DICKS INSTEAD.

  4. Cornelius says at 4:44 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Mike Allen takes the loudest craps known to man. There are even key changes.

  5. comicbookguy says at 4:45 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Only someone serious about running in 2012 would deny it in big bold font like that. He’s a shoo-in.

  6. No Drudge siren?

  7. Come here a minute says at 4:47 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Mike Allen has WON THE MORNING, LOST MIDDAY, and then WON THE AFTERNOON.

  8. chascates says at 4:49 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Instead he’ll decide who the GOP candidate is and do everything he can to make them President.

  9. Oh Ginger, my Ginger, when will you learn how to use the intertubes?

  10. V572625694 says at 4:49 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Come here a minute: 2 wins, 1 loss: Politico WINS THE DAY, mostly. Which raises the interesting question lamer: does Slate suck more than Politico, or less?

  11. Dilaceratus says at 4:50 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Watching Mike Allen do “political journalism” is like watching a mime pretend to inflate an imaginary balloon with invisible fake air. The ennui overcomes all interest in slapping the talentless fuck.

    This wouldn’t even rise to the lame level of “Glenn Beck didn’t rape and kill a twelve-year old girl” satire, were it satire.

  12. ChernobylSoup v2 says at 4:51 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Strange. I thought everybody wanted to be this century’s Bob Dole.

  13. From looking at him, I doubt Ailes has run since 1980, and rarely gets up his speed to more than a shuffle, at best, and then only in pursuit of food.

  14. Extemporanus says at 4:53 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Say goodnight, Gracie.

  15. AbstinenceOnly Ed says at 4:54 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Roger Ailes says he will not run in 2012 race, instead, he will jog slowly, wheezing heavily and clutching his chest.

  16. magic titty says at 4:54 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    HE WILL ALSO NOT RUN FOR EXERCISE. HE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RUN SINCE FIFTH GRADE.

  17. Oldskool says at 5:00 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    So does he not plan to be around in 2012? If I were him I wouldn’t bet on it either.

  18. user-of-owls says at 5:00 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    V572625694: Que es mas macho? School bus o light bulb?

  19. Come here a minute says at 5:01 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Prommie, AbstinenceOnly Ed, magic titty: “Runs” is also a synonym for diarrhea–why don’t you guys work on that one and simulpost again?

    Titty wins for all caps.

  20. ManchuCandidate says at 5:01 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Extemporanus:
    More like:

    Say Good Night to the Big Fat Guy!

  21. sati demise says at 5:01 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    AbstinenceOnly Ed: yea, cardiac malfunction wins!
    Drop dead Fox ‘News’.

    And take your little Murdock too.

  22. Nonetheless, Roger remains a figure of veneration in certain parts of the world: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/archaeology/slideshow/detail/olmec.jpg

    BREAKING! Secret Video of Mike Allen’s Brainstorming Technique!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOl2DBIrBPs

  24. SayItWithWookies says at 5:08 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Since I neither believe anything that Roger Ailes says nor trust Mike Allen’s figmentary journalism, these competing stories were just some sort of theoretical debate anyway. Although it’s harder to believe that Ailes, knowing what he’s done to people running for office, would want to put himself in position for the kind of lowdown, savage, merciless pillaging that would surely await him if he so much as ran for dogcatcher. Woulda been fun, though.

  25. Extemporanus says at 5:09 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Dilaceratus: I think that it’s less like watching a mime pretend to inflate an invisible balloon, and more like watching a a mime pretend to read an invisible newspaper.

    However, there are another two dozen instructional videos on that MeToober’s page, so a more aptly-mimed parallel may exist.

  26. Extemporanus says at 5:10 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    magic titty: Yeah, but if it were a downhill race, he’d win in a landslide.

  27. hockeymom says at 5:17 pm, October 23rd, 2009
  28. DangerousLiberal says at 5:24 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Well, this takes the edge of the news that Soupy Sales has shuffled off this mortal coil. Soupy’d be a great president compared with Ailes-hole. “Hey, kids, it’s tax time! Get those green pieces of paper out of your dad’s wallet and send them to the IRS….”

  29. El Pinche says at 5:25 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Roger “Fox is fair and balanced!” Ailes is the Col. Kurtz of the Cult of Glenn Beck (formerly the GOP).

  30. Larry McAwful says at 5:28 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Is someone running for King of All Tools? Because I’d like to nominate Mike Allen.

  31. AbstinenceOnly Ed says at 5:30 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Come here a minute: No funs! There’s been runs on puns, failure trickles down my buns.

  32. Extemporanus says at 5:31 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Extemporanus: From the mime’s bio:

    “Expert Pat Fenda directed the Homemade Mime Troupe of South Carolina and was awarded a mime grant from the State of Florida. She currently performs with The Franzini Family Circus.

    Mime grant? Mime Grant?! Margarita Keylime Foxtwat, Florida?! Was that Governor Goofy’s idea?

    And kudos to you, South Carolina, for proving that you can be just as annoying by not saying a word as you can be by shouting shit at the president.

  33. PoignancySelz says at 5:36 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Dilaceratus: There was also a Mystery Science Theatre 3000 episode, I think it was called Cave Dwellers where our hero fights an invisible monster.

  34. Extemporanus says at 5:37 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    DangerousLiberal: See ya around, Soupy.

    May you receive all the surprise naked-balloon-dancer-O-grams you could ever dream of. (And may they be in color and without those stupid black censor bars, too!)

  35. PoignancySelz says at 5:39 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Extemporanus: 22 seconds, same as SkoalRebel.

  36. user-of-owls says at 5:39 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    El Pinche: “What are they gonna say? That he was a kind man? That he was a wise man? That he was a fat man?”

  37. Tundra Grifter says at 5:41 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    I could see Mr. Ailes running for a plate of doughnuts.

    Or to stuff walkaround money into the suit pockets of Black preachers.

    For office? Why?

    BTW: Is this what all those “2012″ billboards are about?

  38. PoignancySelz says at 5:42 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Extemporanus: Extemporanus: Expert Pat Fenda means only one thing, she’s a jew!
    I think she performed at a Katherine Harris fundraiser a few times.
    Her and Rich Little, yeah, $500 a plate.

  39. user-of-owls says at 5:43 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Extemporanus: Oh, poor Ex, so parochial. Using mimes as agents of social control is a well established tradition in more progressive settings…like Bogota, Colombia.

  40. Well now, that trial balloon didn’t fly too well, now did it? The GOP must be getting pretty spooked if they are talking crap like pitching Ailes as a candidate. What next? El Rushbo? Becko?

  41. user-of-owls says at 5:48 pm, October 23rd, 2009
  42. SayItWithWookies says at 5:48 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Allen’s apparently also being beaten about the head and sholders for his Kristolesque analysis of Pelosi’s public option vote count today. Valerie Jarrett said he doesn’t know how to count votes.

  43. Extemporanus says at 6:11 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    user-of-owls: You know who else was a South American mime?

    That’s right: Tony Montana.

    (I had no idea you were such a fan of mimes. You really shoulda said…oh, right.)

  45. Suds McKenzie says at 6:43 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    oh great, .. a mime meme

  46. FlownOver says at 6:47 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Shit. And here I had my weekend all planned, painting crude “Ailes in ‘12″ posters, just as soon as I came up with a clever rhyme for “twelve.”

  47. Dilaceratus says at 6:48 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Extemporanus: Perhaps my Natural Graces led me to use an analogy, rather than the strict precision Wonkette [1] readers expect, so as to gloss over an unpleasantness: What you should be literally looking for on the YouTube is video of a dickless, overweight man whose belly flap makes reaching the area his genitals once occupied a physical impossibilty, dispassionately aping a masturbating wrist motion [2].

    I apologize for your wasted effort, although your excitement at posting your Internet finds leads to the suspicion that your ennui is not all that it could be.

    —–
    [1] i.e. “4chan -v” {1}
    [2] Perhaps the trailer for Louis Anderson’s upcoming Antichrist remake would be a good starting point?

    —–
    {1} Indeed, the best posted here in quite some time. “iPhone,” please.

  48. GreatOldOnesParty says at 7:05 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    dammit!

    won’t he reconsider?
    THINK OF THE BLING!

  49. GreatOldOnesParty says at 7:15 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Dilaceratus: Hmmmmm….
    organized sentence structure.
    werdz spelled properly.
    words longer than 2.5 syllables.
    good grammar.
    post completely devoid of trucknuttz/ bags of lightly salted poison mammoth wooly-rat dicks/ “i’d hit that” /referrences to Meghan McCabes tig ol bitties/ LULZ, also and such as the Iraq and South Africa.
    FOOTNOTES!!!1? You put FOOTNOTES in your post?!
    I smell a TROLL!
    Where are you all coming from?

    you at least got one thing partially right:
    Wonkette IS indeed the /b/ of the political blogosphere.

  50. Extemporanus says at 7:21 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    user-of-owls:

    Dilaceratus: Your decorous apology—though appreciated—is unnecessary.

    A lifetime of soul-crushing ennui has ensured that both mimes and dickless, overweight men whose belly flap makes reaching the area his genitals once occupied are always at my fingertips.

    So to speak…

  51. BobTheBuilder says at 7:22 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    This leaves the field wide open for SkoalRebel.

  52. user-of-owls says at 7:23 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Suds McKenzie: Which, in Bogota, would be pronounced, “Mee-May May-May.”

    Ok, it’s not quite, “Carne Argentina”…but still.

  53. Extemporanus says at 7:24 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Suds McKenzie: Shhh…

    I can’t see what user-of-owls is saying.

  54. user-of-owls says at 7:27 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Extemporanus: Where in the name of Magog do you find this Foxtrot Sierra?! It’s positively oxtanding!

  55. One Yield Regular says at 7:27 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    I don’t know this Mike Allen at all, or anything about him, but he certainly has a poor way with words. In just two headlines, he’s given me the impression that Roger Ailes is as docile and as incapable of motivating his own physical activity as a wet hacky-sack. I suspect this is not the impression Mr. Allen wished to convey.

  56. Come here a minute: Profit!

    GreatOldOnesParty:
    More cute kidnapped children
    and more sweaty rolls of unwashed neck fat.
    And more, you know, that thing you bang.

  57. user-of-owls says at 7:39 pm, October 23rd, 2009
  58. PoignancySelz says at 7:52 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    And this, being the weekend, we are all mimes.

  59. Extemporanus says at 7:53 pm, October 23rd, 2009
  60. user-of-owls: True. Ailes eats wet hackey sacks as if the were mallomars.

  61. Extemporanus says at 8:00 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    PoignancySelz: There are some clowns here who might not agree with you.

  62. Suds McKenzie says at 8:19 pm, October 23rd, 2009
  63. artpepper says at 9:02 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Extemporanus: Aaagh! WHY IS THE MIME TALKING?

  64. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 9:58 pm, October 23rd, 2009

    Actually, Ailes hasn’t completely ruled out a run for president. He just said he won’t run until he gets this smuggler for dumping a shipment. Ailes stated that he “has no use for smugglers who drop their shipments at the first sign of an Imperial cruiser.” But once he is repaid, he is willing to consider a run.

  65. And all around the planet jogging wear in his size lets out a collective sigh of relief.

  66. pat robertsons personal trainer says at 1:53 pm, October 24th, 2009

    the republicans finally found a candidate fatter than their average voter. unless white mike hucks has the lapband removed. (crossing fingers, closing eyes, and sending a bucket of KFC to little rock.)

  67. Can O Whoopass says at 8:32 pm, October 24th, 2009

    Darth Cheney called and said, FOX, I am your……..

    ..then his wiings appeared and he flew bac into the cave.
