Forgotten Political Book Now Free With Two Packs of Camel Lights

by Ken Layne  11:48 pm February 23, 2010

'Gimme some Winstons and stick that fockin' book up your fockin' ass, asshole.'
Our dearly departed Juli Weiner sends this New York street scene of a newsstand that doesn’t show nearly enough respect to TIME magazine’s “The Note” blog-to-book, Game Change. Come on, can’t we put this important work somewhere better than, say, next to the pimp/old man cigars? Shouldn’t it be on a pedestal of sorts? Maybe by those little crack pipes disguised as “plastic roses” or whatever? [Thanks Juli we miss you!]

PABT == Port Authority Bus Terminal

I’ll take a pack of Camel Wides, a box of Swisher Sweets, some of those naked lady tees…and…gimme one of them Game Change political book thingies. Oh, and a Powerball ticket.

No one commuting back to Jersey on the bus wants to think all that hard.

WARNING: Please purchase a condom from the dispenser at your left and put it on before reading this book. Preferably over your eyes.

You think that’s bad, I bought two tacos for 99 cents at Jack-in-the-Box and they dumped the putrid remains of Jake Tapper’s journalistic integrity in the bag for no extra charge.

Beowoof February 24, 2010 at 12:25 am

You know I think the two packs of smokes would better for me.

[re=518672]Beowoof[/re]: On the other hand, “Game Change” might produce a more satisfying smoke when burned.

OK–I have nothing better to do late at night, so I will go ahead and say wtf is “Game Change”? And it doesn’t look like it has dirty pictures or even writing, except maybe for a little of the gaysex. Do you have to live in the metropolitan area to get it? I *would* like a pack of smokes and two condoms with that, please.

Slowly kill myself, or just read Game Change?

Smoke Filled Roommate February 24, 2010 at 1:21 am

Perhaps it’s a subliminal ‘Game Change’ to the Kodiak that isn’t selling.. Nah, ‘Dirty Sexy Politics’ will be up above the Capris in no time.

J February 24, 2010 at 1:30 am

Hmmm,let’s see now, what is more valuable – a MetroCard which gives you access to a 24/7 NYC transit system that takes you basically anywhere in the city…or “Game Change.” Yeah, tough call.

OK, I get it that “Black & Mild” refers to Barry, but what is “Jewels, Sweet” about?

Someone from Jersey probably dropped it. Immigrant shopkeeper’s windfall.

O.K., Mr. Smartypantses, when is Wonkette going to write a book? Huh?

ElitistMarxist February 24, 2010 at 3:35 am

[re=518676]Mad Brahms[/re]: Wait — how thick are the pages in Game Change? I think it’s being offered as competition to the EZ widers & the blunt fodder. A little more expensive, but you can roll Marley-sized joints and it’s got a lot more “leaves”…

ElitistMarxist February 24, 2010 at 4:22 am

On the other hand, the Bible’s pages are thinner than TOP or Bugler (just saw the header)…

Maybe this is what Tina Brown (from the Daily Beast) had in mind when she called Game Change “a smoking new book”?

Lionel Hutz Esq. February 24, 2010 at 5:59 am

Silly merchant. How does he expect to sell any copies when it is next to a “No Returns” sign. And you know he won’t be relaxed about it after you open the book and end up vomiting all over it.

Extemporanus February 24, 2010 at 6:05 am

Fock Winstons, asshole!

Take Dutch’s fockin’ advice and send Chesterfields to all your fockin’ friends!

I assume it’s being used to hide this month’s Hustler.

freakishlystrong February 24, 2010 at 7:41 am

Gawd, we’re a stoopid cuntry. There actually has to be a sign that says; “No Returns on Newspapers and Magazines”. Really?

BlueStateLibtard February 24, 2010 at 8:15 am

[re=518679]Red Zeppelin[/re]: Game Change is the groundbreaking book that broke how John McCrazy swears a lot and is McCrazy, Sarah Palin doesn’t really know much, etc. In short, all the stuff you could have learned by reading Wonkette last year…for free! Also, yes, it is the dear Port Authority Bus Terminal.

Monsieur Grumpe February 24, 2010 at 8:31 am

I suspect it’s just a fake cover for a copy of Jugs. Personally I’d be more embarrassed buying the book.

What Fresh Hell is This? February 24, 2010 at 10:42 am

I don’t smoke. Could I get a couple of packs of Twitter?

Tundra Grifter February 24, 2010 at 12:56 pm

[re=518700]Extemporanus[/re]: W.C. Fields had a radio show sponsored by Lucky Strikes. On it he would often talk about his son Chester. Eventually Lucky Strikes (L.S.M.F.T. – Loose Straps Mean Floppy Tits) figured it out…

So, they call him MetroCards, those which you use to access the subway, but dare call it the NYC Metro, &, ‘aw, shit!’ I’d be leaking if I pulled that.

Another reason for me to dislike the New York subway. Loved Madrid’s, admired Bucuresti’s (for what it was trying to be), like & sometimes love DC’s… But NYC & Barcalona can suck it. Just horrible.
