‘Another Reason’ Prison Will Not Be Kind To James O’Keefe

by Riley Waggaman  

  • Gordon Liddy Youth member James O’Keefe, also an enormous nerd, will probably be denied his constitutional right to play Dungeons & Dragons in prison! Your move, ACLU. [Matt Yglesias]
  • Here is your chance to defend Erick Erickson from terrible name-calling (“Coulteresque”) and racist slurs (“tribe”). [RedState]
  • Barack Obama has a chin, just like Mussolini! REVELATORY. [The Corner]
  • Why won’t climate change conspiracy theorists “get their tea bag on” for John Kerry? [Think Progress]
  • The Joint Chiefs of Staff are homophobic zombie automatons, unless you mention the possibility of the U.S. skull-fuckin’ the snot out of Iran. Such a possibility makes Admiral Mullen leap about like an antelope. [AMERICAblog]

“Bob” help me with the climate change conspiracy theorists…no lower form, except maybe “intelligent design” conspiracy theorists…

If prisoners were allowed to play D&D, they might learn how to add a few levels of Rogue and easily put some points into lockpicking and pickpocketing; then we’d have the danger of huge escape on our hands.

armoredbore January 28, 2010 at 5:27 pm

So, Obama has a Mussolini-esque chin, and the Party of No has a Nazi-esque purity test. Dictators for everyone! :D

queeraselvis v 2.0 January 28, 2010 at 5:32 pm

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, RedState. Could you please keep your fantasies about collectively beating off Erick Erickson’s shriveled-up prawn of a penis to yourself?

ManchuCandidate January 28, 2010 at 5:33 pm

Erick Erickson isn’t “Coulteresque” he’s more “Rubenesque.” He’d have to grow a penis to be Coulteresque.

CaliforniaMike January 28, 2010 at 5:34 pm

He won’t miss Dungeons & Dragons. He’ll find plenty of new games to play, like Husbands & Wives, Coaches & Students, Priests & Altar Boys.

The Corner has 15 readers? I find that difficult to believe. I call shenanigans on Nordling-a-linger

Extemporanus January 28, 2010 at 5:46 pm

D&D or not, O’Keefe’s still gonna be total dungeon master bait.

edgydrifter January 28, 2010 at 5:48 pm

Young master O’Keefe is a 3rd level agitator and 6th level douche. Though in prison his body may be, they can never take away his multiclass glory.

SayItWithWookies January 28, 2010 at 5:49 pm

The Joint Chiefs are just a little touchy about the gays — like many an ass-slapping manly man with a penchant for bauble-covered finery.

Hooray For Anything January 28, 2010 at 5:49 pm

Bravo and Bravas Corner for coming up with a whole new dictator to compare Obama too. Guess all the Hitler/Stalin/Mao/Joker references have been worn out. How long, then, will it be before we start seeing Tea Bagger signs comparing Obama with Francisco Franco?

edgydrifter January 28, 2010 at 5:52 pm

[re=503901]Hooray For Anything[/re]: Have you seen the Baggers? The only Franco they know is Franco-American.

Redhead January 28, 2010 at 6:04 pm

Wouldn’t banning dungeons and dragons fall under the category of “protecting the inmates from further ass beatings?”
And if anyone else clicked through and read that article (or the comments)… translation please? What the hell are all those acronyms?

Hooray For Anything January 28, 2010 at 6:13 pm

[re=503903]edgydrifter[/re]: Frankly, I’m surprised they knew who Mussolini is. If they were to ever find out that both were legitimately right wing-fascist instead of liberal-fascist or really-fascist-but-confuses-dumb-people-because-the-word-socialist-was-in-it’s-party-name, they might just pass out from all that.

S.Luggo January 28, 2010 at 6:14 pm

A NYT article says that the inmate who brought the D&D suit was “sentenced to life in prison in 2002 for bludgeoning and stabbing his sister’s boyfriend to death.”

Give. The. Guy. The. Goddam. Game.

HonestInjun January 28, 2010 at 6:18 pm

[re=503911]Redhead[/re]: LARP = live action role playing. Kind of like when Michael Steele puts on a Hilo Hattie shirt & a lei and pretends to be a republican working in Hawaii.

charlesdegoal January 28, 2010 at 6:23 pm

I somehow find the name “joint chiefs” strangely inappropriate in more senses than one.

HedonismBot January 28, 2010 at 6:23 pm

I just think it is extremely funny that Mary Landrieu couldn’t scramble to the right fast enough in her pathetic attempt to win over the wingnuts, and the teabaggers STILL went after her.
Stand for something or you’ll fall for anything, Blue Dogs.
Teabaggers and wingnuts are sworn enemies of Democrats of every ideological stripe, and they see your surrender only as weakness.

S.Luggo January 28, 2010 at 6:29 pm

And Cheney has a forehead just like Mussolini and a peenie just like Ann Coulter. What’s your point, Nordlinger?

Bearbloke January 28, 2010 at 6:52 pm

[re=503887]CaliforniaMike[/re]: And O’Queef’s new favourite game, Mystery Date, which he’ll get to play with whichever convict get to him first!

Perhaps O’Queef (so named for the sound he makes when he walks) should review this instructional video to acquaint himself with the new social pressures he will encounter, then review this video to acquaint himself with that which will be involuntarily shoved up his arse 5-30 times a day…

imissopus January 28, 2010 at 7:20 pm

Plus, has anyone ever seen Mussolini’s birth certificate?

DC Hates Me January 28, 2010 at 7:36 pm

Are you saying that the Joint Chiefs are homophobic or homosexual? Because those two words look very similar.

And did you notice the blue C-Span penis between the General’s legs?

sati demise January 28, 2010 at 7:40 pm

antelopes

Bitch' January 28, 2010 at 8:31 pm

Gee, the “tribe” reference sure gets those redstaters going on the redskin jokes.

dijetlo January 28, 2010 at 8:50 pm

Meh, The Corner is like a nepotistic single “A” farm system for conservative wing-tardians. Fortunately for posterity, the winger men suffer from an epidemic of the gehz and so they have to make do with K-Lo and Lucianne Goldbergs dim witted progeny.
In that light, Mussolini? On the short list of historical figures they are dimly aware of, was there ever a question they’d eventually work their way down to Il Deuce?

CaliforniaMike January 28, 2010 at 9:22 pm

Even the Fat Man is defending O’Keefe. Maybe Rush wants to snuggle with him on one of his trips to the D.R.

lukewarm January 28, 2010 at 10:15 pm

Okay, I’m starting to get a sense of who the Teabaggers are. They’re people who’ve watched enough footage of Mussolini to be able to recognize aspects of his body language in other people.

betterDeadThanRed January 28, 2010 at 10:24 pm

[re=503917]S.Luggo[/re]: Oh goody! Maybe O’Keefe and that guy can be roomies!

snideinplainsight January 28, 2010 at 10:48 pm

Here’s the winner from the D&D thread;

‘Someone on my twitter feed pointed out that “Anything that could be used to create factions, pass coded information or let people practice manipulating others is not going to be allowed in prison.” ‘

Well, say good-bye to the Bible, then….

schvitzatura January 29, 2010 at 2:59 am

D&D banned at Waupun? Just go d20 System open source, cons! Or go the CCG route and geek out to Magic: The Gathering…

Or ship in out-of-print Skyrealms of Jorune. Where is the prison psych aide to testify that FRPs help with drug withdrawal symptoms?

Must be a Byron Hadley-type up in that Wisconsin lockup…

Get Vin Diesel or Wil Wheaton (big D&D fans) to testify as character witness on behalf of the plaintiff.

schvitzatura January 29, 2010 at 3:11 am

[re=503920]HonestInjun[/re]: LARP = live action role playing. Kind of like when James O’Keefe & Co. put on Village People-esque telecom line worker get-ups and pretend to be technicians wiretapping a sitting U.S. Senator’s phone system in Louisiana.

They should have stuck with Vampire the Masquerade…Oy vey!

HonestInjun January 29, 2010 at 6:02 am

[re=504033]schvitzatura[/re]: Or pimps at an acorn office.

TGY January 29, 2010 at 8:10 am

Only in our games are we free. Except for some bastard of a GM.

WIDTAP January 29, 2010 at 8:27 am

Jay Nordlinger suggests it is fascism whenever a negro holds his head up. It is also communism when Asian women are not sexually subservient.

JesusButter January 29, 2010 at 10:28 am

“Admiral Mullen leap about like an antelope”–I must confess this made me laugh so hard I got in trouble at work (it’s “quiet cubicle time” doncha know). Oh Riley, I do love you. *sigh*

Lascauxcaveman January 29, 2010 at 1:02 pm

[re=504032]schvitzatura[/re]: I don’t understand a single word you just said.

So, good for me, I guess.
