Lo, the White House’s Christmas dinner’s insidious dessert! What could this ACORN cookie signify? What COULDN’T it signify? The answers are “chocolate” and “vanilla,” respectively.  [Ben Smith]

Gah, those stupid Politico comments deserve a retroactive link ban FOREVER.

Grandma Robinson must be very, very lonely.

Looks like a perfectly formed moose dropping to me.

snideinplainsight December 9, 2009 at 1:44 pm

I’m speaking ex professo here.

Michelle Obama should beat Steve King with that big belt she’s always wearing.

Sharkey December 9, 2009 at 1:46 pm

Does King realize you can disable cookies in your browser?

NJB December 9, 2009 at 1:47 pm

Let’s not forget the hammer and sickle shaped croutons for the soup course.

It was the chef’s way of making sure all guests were teabagged with lovely chocolate (possibly salted) nuts. And did Steve King deny putting said nuts in his mouth and savoring them?
Well….???
Exactly!

Paterlanger December 9, 2009 at 1:47 pm

Rep. King doesn’t mention whether he ate the offensive cookie or not. That seems like an important detail.

Could also be a Frenchman with a beret.
Meanwhile, I’m wondering how people who write for Politico or other such sites must feel when they look at the comments to their pieces. Must be utterly depressing to be constantly reminded that your readership is made up for the most part of completely insane people. How do you get the courage and energy to go on writing? Alcohol? Drugs? Greed?

snideinplainsight December 9, 2009 at 1:49 pm

Yes, but did anybody think to share their cookie WITH A DUCK??!?! A HUNGRY DUCK!??!

WELL?!?! DID THEY?!!?!?!?

Suds McKenzie December 9, 2009 at 1:50 pm

I will let Glenn Becks chalkboard tell me what that thing means.

Lionel Hutz Esq. December 9, 2009 at 1:50 pm

Finally, the Republicans have found a real issue to campaign on!

Fox News Light December 9, 2009 at 1:50 pm

[re=474724]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: What? Politco comments are real? I thought it was just you guys being funny! People actually write that stuff?

RoscoePColtraine December 9, 2009 at 1:51 pm

Obama is an Afrikun muslin. How do you ‘spect him to understand what shapes are approved for Xmas cookies?

Gingerbread fetuses, also.

Come here a minute December 9, 2009 at 1:54 pm

This is something that could only have come out of the #1 asshole in Congress.

magic titty December 9, 2009 at 1:56 pm

Librulz poop ACORN-shaped poop. And then serve them at dinners.

[re=474731]Sharkey[/re]: You’re my favorite person here.

finallyhappy December 9, 2009 at 1:56 pm

Oh, I thought it was a black guy wearing a beret. POWER TO TO THE PEOPLE!!!

gurukalehuru December 9, 2009 at 1:58 pm

Ben Smith is the laziest fucker on any blog anywhere. That was about the amount of writing you would expect to accompany the story if it was in the tips box, which may well be where he pulled it from.

TGY December 9, 2009 at 1:58 pm

Well, somebody’s off his nut, that’s for sure.

Jim89048 December 9, 2009 at 1:59 pm

[re=474726]snideinplainsight[/re]: Good, though!

SayItWithWookies December 9, 2009 at 1:59 pm

I didn’t know they served the fancy stuff at the children’s table.

Hooray For Anything December 9, 2009 at 1:59 pm

Ah, but what Smith didn’t mention is that there was writing on the back of the cookie that read: “suck it Beck.”

Neoyorquino December 9, 2009 at 2:01 pm

Steve King is fascinated by teh choklit nutz.

weejee December 9, 2009 at 2:02 pm

Politico is the stealth FOX. Surprised that none of the Ben’s commentariate extolled King’s enorme cojones for daring to enter Barry’s White Howz since ol’ Steve said all the terrorists in the whole wide world “… would be dancing in the streets…” if that Muslin got elected.

RoscoePColtraine December 9, 2009 at 2:02 pm

[re=474762]SayItWithWookies[/re]: I was just about to say the same thing. You go to the White House for dinner and they serve you a cookie for dessert? What the fuck?

snideinplainsight December 9, 2009 at 2:03 pm

WON’T ANYONE THINK OF THE HUNGRY DUCKS!!!$!?/1?

bureaucrap December 9, 2009 at 2:03 pm

Acorn cookie = Obama supports ACORN = Obama stole the election = Impeach Obama!

You have to admit, the logic is flawless. Nonetheless, I agree more with [re=474728]snideinplainsight[/re]. But it’s still an impeachable offense: Moose-dropping cookie = Obama hates Sarah Palin = Obama does not side with “Real ‘Murkins” = Obama is a Muslin = Impeach Obama!

Again, the logic is impeccable. This seemingly mundane cookie is a symbolic shot across the bow for all God-fearing White Chistian Americans.

Plus which, there was no cookie offered shaped like christ on the cross.

shadowMark December 9, 2009 at 2:10 pm

Is that really proper etiquette, to go to somebody’s house for a party and then twitter making fun of the food they serve? Did the White House twitter about Steve King’s rented tux?

hockeymom December 9, 2009 at 2:11 pm

I thought there was no more linking to Politico?
Because if I don’t see it, it doesn’t exist.

FlownOver December 9, 2009 at 2:15 pm

OK, that’s it… the orders are being issued as we write. The Deadly Acorn Assassination Squad has been deployed. Neither Steve King nor Ben Smith will be around to see Christmas.

They were warned.

betterDeadThanRed December 9, 2009 at 2:15 pm

They let a nut job like STEVE KING into the White House? Near the president??? First the party crashers now this. Why does the secret service hate Obama?

hockeymom December 9, 2009 at 2:15 pm

[re=474798]shadowMark[/re]: This was my exact thought. I could hear my mother saying “was he raised in a barn?”

Gopherit December 9, 2009 at 2:25 pm

If King ever gets elected president, he can make little klan hood cookies. Fair enough?

American Spectator December 9, 2009 at 2:26 pm

Michelle Obama’s sphincter is quite talented. But how many hours did she spend squatting over the WH Lenox?

FlownOver December 9, 2009 at 2:32 pm

[re=474817]American Spectator[/re]: Ewwww. That one’s over the line, even for Teh Wonkett.

progressiveinga December 9, 2009 at 2:36 pm

[re=474761]Jim89048[/re]: Best punchline ever.

Mista Eko December 9, 2009 at 4:30 pm

Mr. King, sometimes an acorn is just a penis.

Snarkalicious December 9, 2009 at 4:43 pm

[re=474816]Gopherit[/re]: He gone hang him some Ginger Bread Nigrahs on the White House CHRISTmas Tree, too.

SmutBoffin December 9, 2009 at 4:52 pm

No matter how many posts are made about him, I refuse to believe that the “Steve King” person actually exists. That there could be someone this ignorant…well, it defies believability.

LowerdPeninsula December 9, 2009 at 11:47 pm

[re=474758]gurukalehuru[/re]: Inanity, they name is Ben Smith. But, just going off of physicality, I expect that Jonathan Martin is even lazier. His cartoon head on the website belies his actual physical repugnancy.
