I liked her better as a mermaid.

Crank Tango January 26, 2010 at 12:16 pm

ahhhh, off to Afghanistan for a little “living space,” huh?

magic titty January 26, 2010 at 12:17 pm

That’s awesome.

proudgrampa January 26, 2010 at 12:20 pm

You would think German politicians would have learned to avoid gestures like that…

Fox News Light January 26, 2010 at 12:20 pm

She could so win the SC primary for Lt. Gov

germansteel January 26, 2010 at 12:20 pm

I have it on good authority (a Tea Partyer) that Obama was on the other end of that salute.

bureaucrap January 26, 2010 at 12:21 pm

She’s not saluting, she’s just pointing the way to the bright future of national SOCIALISM!

RoscoePColtraine January 26, 2010 at 12:22 pm

She ain’t had a back rub in over two years. Someone give that woman a fucking back rub!

ForTheTurnstiles January 26, 2010 at 12:22 pm

Mach schnell, Arschloch!

canadasteve January 26, 2010 at 12:24 pm

I bet she can’t produce an American birth certificate, either!

SayItWithWookies January 26, 2010 at 12:26 pm

What’s the German word for Anschluss?

ManchuCandidate January 26, 2010 at 12:27 pm

That gesture explains why the troops are from the Das Reich Division.

SmutBoffin January 26, 2010 at 12:27 pm

The Islamofacists in Poland will never know what hit them.

charlesdegoal January 26, 2010 at 12:30 pm

Today Kabul, tomorrow an area in a radius of about 20 miles around Kabul!

Sparky McGruff January 26, 2010 at 12:31 pm

[re=501081]SayItWithWookies[/re]: The word you are looking for is “Fahrvergnügen”

Her headset just started beeping her Manchurian Candidate signal. Cue Dr. Stangelove voice: “Mein Führer! I can walk!”

Red Zeppelin January 26, 2010 at 12:33 pm

Achtung baby!

Deutschland, Deutschland über alles!

I-man January 26, 2010 at 12:34 pm

Inside of every German is a little guy with a squared charlie-chaplain mustache with a name that rhymes with hitter.

As usual, Stephen Colbert did it first, and did it better. But he’s not allowed to do it anymore.

She’s just reaching for a butterfly to pose for a statue.

Springtime for Merkel? Perhaps the goosestep really *is* the new step in town.

[re=501089]Sparky McGruff[/re]: Damn, beat me to it.

[re=501101]Katydid[/re]: Thanks for that.

Wow. How completely unfortunate.

And here I thought she was healing a member of the crowd in the NAME OF JAY-SUS!

Red Zeppelin January 26, 2010 at 1:08 pm

She has the cold, dead eyes of a killer.

That little Angela can do the Frug!!

Dashboard_Buddha January 26, 2010 at 1:23 pm

You’d think that German politicos would have learned by now to never EVER lift their right hand above the shoulder.

Jukesgrrl January 26, 2010 at 1:34 pm

Did France surrender yet?

dum librul January 26, 2010 at 1:36 pm

[re=501131]Dashboard_Buddha[/re]: McCain ran in the wrong country.

Too soon?

user-of-owls January 26, 2010 at 1:43 pm

Angela: Doctor, it hurts when I lift my arm like this.

Doctor: Where does it hurt?

Angela: Poland, France, Holland, Russia….

Joshua Norton January 26, 2010 at 1:49 pm

Jokes on you all. That’s really a picture of Kay Bailey Hutchinson.

Paterlanger January 26, 2010 at 1:52 pm

First the image of Barry in front of a mirror and now this one? It must be low-hanging fruit day.

southern mark smith January 26, 2010 at 1:59 pm

At least Politico wasn’t editorializing with their choice of photo. Lord knows how hard it is to find file photos of world leaders these days.

Buzz Feedback January 26, 2010 at 2:38 pm

They call that the “Full Schultz.”

WadISay January 26, 2010 at 3:12 pm

She used to be able to raise her arm higher before Bush goofed up her shoulder with that creepy massage.

Paul Tardy January 26, 2010 at 3:50 pm

But since they will be heavy infantry units they will eat like 1000.

But seriously, wasn’t NATO committed to like 5000. I remember that number for some reason.

I think I coughed up some Verfremdungseffekt. Götterdammerit! The only cure is a steaming plate of Fährenbalenz.
