A Children’s Treasury Of Furries At CPAC, Part One

by Jim Newell  

Wonkette’s annual CPAC attendee friend Garrett Quinn, who is insane for still going to these things but great for sending us the laffs, has delivered the first batch of terrifying furry photos from Day One. They depict an astroturfing eagle and a monstrous grey squid-elephant walrus fetus that isn’t Dick Armey. (Maybe.) Six demerits to each from Mittens, we guess? UPDATE: My god, is it actually Cthulhu??

Oh, sorry, this isn’t a furry, he isn’t even wearing his human costume yet.

MOAR! FEED MAH MOAR PLASMA CRACKERS!

It’s Snuffaluffagus and Big Bird!

Oops. I mean their “proper” Right Wing Values family low taxes and no homo equivalents. “Bert the Elephant” and “Ernie the Eagle.”

Doglessliberal February 18, 2010 at 3:14 pm

what the fuck is that? A squid?

Joshua Norton February 18, 2010 at 3:15 pm

Maybe they don’t like dressing up as much as they want to disguise who they really are. I know I would.

edgydrifter February 18, 2010 at 3:16 pm

I guess Joe the Pilot won’t be speaking at this one.

freakishlystrong February 18, 2010 at 3:16 pm

It ain’t CPAC until the hideous furries show up on our Wonkett! Yay!

Joshua Norton February 18, 2010 at 3:17 pm

Needs more capes.

Welcome to CPAC — home of the Flaccid Pachyderm.

CTHULHU !

At the risk of asking the obvious, these people really have a weird costume fetish, don’t they?

elburrito February 18, 2010 at 3:22 pm

CPAC as Hunter S. Thompson would have seen it.

Lawndarts February 18, 2010 at 3:22 pm

I think NineInchNachos is right – it is CTHULHU!!!!

freakishlystrong February 18, 2010 at 3:22 pm

The elephant? is very deflated and sad. Like the Republican Party.

Now that’s funny. Thanks.
My eyes are watering.
Help.

This’ll probably be meaningless to anyone except other who’ve lived in the Chicago area, but I think that must be Eagle Man, ready to lay his car insurance eggs:

is that last one Cthulu?

It’s the Joe Stack Memorial Service. American Solutions, indeed.

Y’all are confused: K-Lo just looks slightly different without her necklace.

Smoke Filled Roommate February 18, 2010 at 3:37 pm

The Eagle has landed. And it has no eyes.

Ducksworthy February 18, 2010 at 3:44 pm

Crap. Now I’ve just wasted 20 minutes reading about Cthulhu. Thanks a lot Jim.

qwerty42 February 18, 2010 at 3:44 pm

Needs more Klingons. And Imperial Stormtroopers. And Batman. Heck, some confederates too?

RoscoePColtraine February 18, 2010 at 3:45 pm

Since “elephant” is letting us see his human hands anyway, why not go ahead and prop up that trunk in an upright, “triumphant” position? Either that or incorporate a few different materials into the costume next time. I hear styrofoam works.

Extemporanus February 18, 2010 at 3:46 pm

Shit! If I’d known a furries post was on deck, I would’ve held off on linking to last month’s issue of <a href=”FURVERT Magazine“>FURVERT Magazine in the previous thread.

bfstevie February 18, 2010 at 3:47 pm

[re=515401]gurukalehuru[/re]: On the “American Solutions” web site “general chairman” Newt Gingrich, in the “about” section, uses the same Einstein quote of about insanity used by Joe Stack. Coincidence?

I dutifully reported this to the wonkette tips department, and expect to be ignored, just like in real life.

Oddly enough, I have some hours in a PA-28-140.

On a more positive note, Raven has really polished her “Disco Critter” characterization.

Extemporanus February 18, 2010 at 4:10 pm

[re=515440]SayItWithWookies[/re]: During one especially boring CPAC break-out meeting, the Eagle quitely slipped away to the men’s room where he furtively rubbed one out, patriotic tears and semen falling at his talons like so many broken American dreams.

HipHopOpotamus February 18, 2010 at 4:11 pm

I’m just excited to start reading Craigslist M4M “MWM seeks same, discreet, in town for weekend only” posts again. Oh, wait, FIRST.

coolcatdaddy February 18, 2010 at 4:12 pm

An eagle with duck feet?

Extemporanus February 18, 2010 at 4:15 pm

[re=515445]freakishlystrong[/re]: Oh, if no one objects, I most certainly will. And next time I’ll even try not to fur-up the motherfurrin’ HTML.

(Also, the color’s off because the pic was created for print. I’ll try to upload a spiffier web-friendly version as well.)

S.Luggo February 18, 2010 at 4:17 pm

Wild thing, I think you move me.

SayItWithWookies February 18, 2010 at 4:21 pm

[re=515487]Extemporanus[/re]: And Photobucket will sell you a mug with that on it, too. The picture, not the semen or tears.

[re=515490]coolcatdaddy[/re]: Shhh…and don’t ask to see his birth certificate either.

[re=515391]JMP[/re]: Look at those loooow rates!

Squidephant needs better shoes.

Jukesgrrl February 18, 2010 at 4:31 pm

One of those furries could be that Pennsylvania Republican staffer who tried to lure a school boy into a dog house. AND HOW WOULD WE KNOW?

crookedE February 18, 2010 at 4:33 pm

[re=515421]Smoke Filled Roommate[/re]: and, for some reason, flippers.

[re=515436]bfstevie[/re]: NEWT GINGRICH DID IT! Tipster/commenter bfstevie writes, “Saw the ‘American Solutions’ furry on the Wonkette. Turns out this is a ‘tri-partisan citizen action network’ whose General Chairman is Newt Gingrich.”

You got props!

Magnus Maximus February 18, 2010 at 4:47 pm

Those yellow tights are going to haunt my nightmares

lochnessmonster February 18, 2010 at 5:02 pm

I DON’T want what they were eating/drinking/smoking when they decided those were good costumes and they’d wear them in public.

Maddow Loves Cox February 18, 2010 at 5:23 pm

It’s an ‘obama job creation fail whale’.

http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/5005/slide_5005_69308_large.

So, that explains that.

There was apparently a Bush Not Killing Thousands of African Americans Fail Whale, but it was in New Orleans when Katrina hit, so ironically it was able to swim to freedom.

GleepGlop February 18, 2010 at 5:32 pm

Is the elephant/cthuhlu guy wearing a suit under there? Look at his shoes.

mrwizzy February 18, 2010 at 6:23 pm

I would totally hit that eagle.

Maddow Loves Cox February 18, 2010 at 6:29 pm

I apologize for my broken link. Please don’t unleash the Fail Whale on me. Or, if you do,
please put a caption on it, so I can tell what the fuck it’s meant to be.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/18/cpac-2010-photos-images-f_n_467857.html

It’s the second photo in that slideshow.

Maddow Loves Cox February 18, 2010 at 6:31 pm

‘That’s Fucking Retarded.’

I only knew he was a Fail Whale, I didn’t know his given name. Suits him.

blinky_twinkie February 18, 2010 at 7:18 pm

I don’t care what *they* call that grey blobby thing. *I* think it’s a Squidephant. The cheap shoes are a dead giveaway. No Fail Whale worth his blowhole would be caught DEAD in those fucking retarded shoes.

Allyson February 18, 2010 at 7:32 pm

1. Someone get that poor bald eagle some decent tights from Wolford! Expense be damned, no living creatuer should be condemned to wear those awful yellow things!
2. That elephant (assuming that is an elephant) looks clinically depressed. Break out the Prozac!

Allyson February 18, 2010 at 7:33 pm

(Meant to write “creature” in that post, but my eyes are still recovering from that awful yellow…)

Smoke Filled Roommate February 18, 2010 at 7:48 pm

[re=515694]Maddow Loves Cox[/re]: I was doing my best Rahm.. However, you are correct–it’s ‘Fucking Retarded’ the Fail Whale.

@JMP Eagleman just laid an egg on the roof of my car.

Wingnutia February 18, 2010 at 10:06 pm

The highlight of the event will be of course when the furries alternate blowing newt gingrich (he’ll marry one of them, he’s got a lot more hypocrisy left in that giant head with the evil, tiny face) and dick cheney will demonstrate the christian compassion of the right by torturing some unemployed black guy they dressed up like obama…ah, conservatives, they’re a lot more interesting when they get off of their meds and into their weird furry and “patriot” costumes. Come to think of it, is it any surprise that the GOP senators once bukkakied on General Patreaus’ dress uniform? weird costume fetish, indeed.

Mr Blifil February 19, 2010 at 12:58 am

Whatever that bulbous gray thing is, I hope it doesn’t start wriggling around.

I recognize my sons shoes sticking out from the sad deflated gray blob-thing..he thought he was gay so I wallpapered his room in a nice Palin print (GOP endorsed) and now he’s just fucking crazy. Its for the best.

Those attendees are sadder than Comic Con.

That is some totally CPAC hair on the dumpy red sweater lady behind Webby and the Fail Whale.

slowuncle February 20, 2010 at 2:35 pm

what is American Solutions? An Amway spinoff? If they sell door-to-door, those costumes’ll be a real deal-closer!

American1st February 21, 2010 at 3:03 am

Wow now we know rappers learned how to be potty mouths from the educated foul mouth libs who were their teachers in schools.
Please will all you assholes promise to move to iran when we elect sarah palin?
Dont we all love how fast america woke up and saw what morons you so called educated liberals are?
If you liberal progressives ever had to earn an honest living you would starve like the ignorant little piglets you are.

libwakman February 21, 2010 at 9:18 am

Will be dining on roasted piglet this evening as we educated liberals have our weekly meeting to hatch plans to drive god out of America and our gay-lesbian-transgender friends plan their route to “homo-up” school children everywhere.

knobwurst February 21, 2010 at 4:12 pm

Who knew bald eagles were gay? I sure didn’t.
