Cauliflower Brain Actually Running White House

by Wonkette Jr.  

The same thing happened at the end of 'The Wiz.'
All us crybaby liberals are all crying, “Oh no Barack Obama isn’t being liberal enough about everything, even though he is supposed to be black.” Well now we know the rest of the story: This big old cauliflower brain in the White House is not-so-secretly running everything. And you know what color cauliflower is …. [White House Flickr]

OMG, that’s the mushroom cloud warning that Condoleezza predicted!

Bruno October 29, 2009 at 12:16 pm

You can tell its a liberal cauliflower brain because of its lack of spine.

If I were the most powerful brain in the world, I would want to be in one of those Futurama head-jars

WHO IS THIS “MIZZ WONKETTE” PERSON?

Uncle Glenny October 29, 2009 at 12:18 pm

El Kabong October 29, 2009 at 12:19 pm

who is Mizz Wonkette?

Norbert October 29, 2009 at 12:19 pm

You know who else’s brain they saved in a jar…

p.s. Is Mizz Wonkette the winner of some kind of pundit contest?

RoscoePColtraine October 29, 2009 at 12:19 pm

The Metropolitan Opera is blacker than that. Also, Hi Ken! How’s the beach? You just come in for a shower or what?

SmutBoffin October 29, 2009 at 12:20 pm

Mizz Wonkette again!

(It’s just Ken dressed like the Wonkette caricature for Halloween, or something.)

I still think it’s Ana.

Wasn’t that thing in a Star Trek episode? All it needs is Kirk doing a ground-roll behind it.

The solution to the mystery is in the alt-text. That’s all I’ll say.

Uh oh. If this is true, then the other night I might have offended a member of el Cauliflower Presidente’s family.

And by “might have offended” I mean “tear apart with my bare hands before incinerating in the oven. With olive oil.”

whatever_dc October 29, 2009 at 1:01 pm

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT: The term “liberal” can no longer be used as it doesn’t carry the oomph it used to. The correct term now for people on the left is “socialist” or if especially egregious “marxist.” Thank you for your attention to this matter. We now return you to your regularly scheduled broadcast.

S.Luggo October 29, 2009 at 1:01 pm

Cauliflower? Nah. That’s a phosphate straight from Pop’s sodium shop. Hand me a straw.

TGY October 29, 2009 at 1:02 pm

Rumors of Obama’s blackness are highly exaggerated. And it could be worse: it could be a turnip brain.

Mashed colly flower also makes an excellent, low-carb substitute for mashed potatoes. That diet guy who slipped on the ice told me.

Who’s the guy tuning his guitar on the far left?

weejee October 29, 2009 at 1:13 pm

The puzzlement of Mizz Wonkette’s true identity. Since both posts have been after 12 noon, that would make both Layne and Newell possibles, and Juli less likely since she would have been drinking steady since 6:00 am. I was leaning towards Newell, in sensible pumps not high heels like Riley, but all he boyz would be using cauliflower ears for the metaphor, not brains. Binarian’s got a possible with the Emeritus Ed Ana. Mahybee, just mahybee our beloved Eds have pulled some super coup and landed someone special. Mmmm, Bristol Palin?

One Yield Regular October 29, 2009 at 1:16 pm

Good god! Is that Cheney with a rifle over on the left, behind the curtain?!?

RoscoePColtraine October 29, 2009 at 1:16 pm

[re=446329]ChernobylSoup v2[/re]: Note the craftsmanship there. No, seriously, Newell’s alt-text consists of four or five words max, NEVER about anything Broadway, IF he bothers at all. Juli, well, who knows, for all the samples we have to go on. Now it’s just a simple process of elimination. And a well-trained eye for these things….

proudgrampa October 29, 2009 at 1:17 pm

Actually, cauliflower comes in several colors, now:

I, personally, prefer purple.

Yeah. This is the coolest fucking White House ever! Space! TOS rules!

[re=446331]blinky_twinkie[/re]: Looks to me like Michael Steele hung himself from the drapes. Or is that just wishful thinking?

ChernobylSoup v2 October 29, 2009 at 1:48 pm

[re=446339]RoscoePColtraine[/re]: Okay, I get what you’re saying: so Ken Layne fucked Ana Marie Cox and they had a black baby they named Dianna Ross. Dianna became friends with a pedophillic tin man who introduced her to Sara K Smith. Sara, through Dianna’s connections, went to work with Ken and Ana until she too had a black baby. However, unlike Ana, they allowed Sara to come back and post during her maternity leave as long as she used a pseudonym (’cause of that family leave medical act thing).

Why didn’t you just say so?

pub_option October 29, 2009 at 1:56 pm

I think both i.e. and e.g. would work in reference to the Wonkette minions, although the implications would be slightly different. … i.e. Riley, would imply that Riley is the sum total of the Wonkette minions, while … e.g. Riley allows other minions to exist.

I suspect that i.e. was used correctly.

John Zacherle knew all about cauliflower brains when he hosted Chiller Theater from his secret laboratory under Times Square eons ago (conveniently shown on NYC’s Channels 9 and 11 at various times. The “cool ghoul” attempted to transfer the brain of Albert Shanker into a cauliflower one day. The cauliflower refused to cooperate. Jeez…I really am that old.

I bet Mizz Wonkette is the default author name for their template, and someone’s forgotten to change it to theirs.
