Somehow, holding only the White House plus big majorities in the House and Senate after an epic 2008 victory in which Communism (“overwhelming majority of American voters”) defeated America, the Fascists have “passed their health care reform legislation” using “Chicago mob rules” known as “popularly elected legislators passing laws.” NOBAMA, EVER. And now Nancy Pelosi and her Klingon devil leader, Barack Hitler Obama, will speak to a grateful nation! Let’s go get our anal exams, together.
- 11:52 PM — First, your editor wishes to express gratitude to the gentleman from the District of Columbia, Jim Newell, for posting things so your editor could go eat catfish and BBQ and see Victoria Williams and Solid Ray Woods and the rest of the Pappy’s All-Stars, because that’s how you do Sunday dinner.
- 11:54 PM — Hey it’s Iwo Jima’s 65th birthday. Love her instant pancakes.
- 11:54 PM — The red carpet is in a room, with a podium. Kenya?
- 11:55 PM — Man you know Barry and Nancy are doing rails off Joe Biden’s ass right now, in celebration.
- 11:55 PM — Here he comes goddammit it’s him the guy who did it high five!
- 11:56 PM — “America’s workers and America’s families and … ” uhh, you got health care, ballin’.
- 11:56 PM — Joe Biden is there, pants back on. Barack thanks him for his “fantastic ass, a real buffet of blow.”
- 11:56 PM — Obama also thanks the staffers, which means they have civil rights again, after Boehner tried to send all congressional staffers to Gitmo.
- 11:57 PM — Whoa shit, Barry just thanked ME for writing a couple of form emails to my wingnut congressmen.
- 11:57 PM — But, hey, look at that, now we will not have to LET OUR KIDS DIE when whatever horrid disease they get isn’t “covered.”
- 11:58 PM — Common Sense! “A victory for common sense.” But isn’t that a Glenn Beck book.
- 11:58 PM — Consumer protection, for Health Insurance? Why, Mister Hussein, that is in and of itself SATANIC/atheist.
- 11:58 PM — Medicare is stronger, more solid, and we will kill off the fuckin’ old people in the next decade, ensuring in the decade after that we will have no Olds at all. Just like Logan’s Run.
- 11:59 PM — Huzzah for the Senate getting a chance to vote for a Health Care Reform bill without such Senate foolishness as the “Louisiana Drawstring,” the “Connecticut Cornhole” and the feared/beloved “Indiana Anal.”
- 11:59 PM — “When faced with crisis, we did not …” eh, another long quote. WE ARE TRYING TO TYPE LIVE HERE, BARRY.
- 11:59 PM — And that’s it, hooray for Barry, and hooray for America, may God damn us all to Hell.
- 12:00 AM — Let’s go to Fox, shall we?
- 12:00 AM — “Are we way too gloomy, maybe we have turned a corner in an untenable system?” This is the Fox News anchor guy. Oh it’s Geraldo, a common Jewish Mexican. He was ALWAYS in the tank for the Minority President we bet! (Geraldo’s still on Fox News?)
- 12:00 AM — Interesting new Fox News’ take: Hey, we actually do need this, the only question was how would we pay for it all, but of course we want it to work. Really? So it was all … kabuki theater?
- 12:01 AM — Now Geraldo’s explaining to Fox News viewers that all the stuff in the Health Care Reform will, uhm, help them all. No more people getting rejected for health insurance for having a health problem (pre-existing conditions), no more big rate hikes, kids can stay on parents’ policies for longer, small businesses will be protected and assisted in the health-care for employees thing, and everyone has to have health insurance if you’re an adult who is working.
- 12:02 AM — So, uh, Fox News, you actually love the Health Care Reform? Fantastic.
- 12:03 AM — Nancy Pelosi, Live! Her watch is set to California time. Hey, so is our watch!
- 12:04 AM — And whoa she is tired, she just said it was an education bill.
- 12:05 AM — Now she’s back, the speed is coursing through her veins. The speed of victory.
- 12:06 AM — Fiscally sound, healthy, the Founders are happy, you just can’t find anything bad to say about this, can you Nancy Pelosi?
- 12:06 AM — A salute to Harry Reid. Is he in charge of the FEMA Domestic Army yet?
- 12:07 AM — “No money exchanged” for votes, yeah right, what about the “Delaware Douche Insertion?”
- 12:08 AM — It’s Steny! We may need to pull out the picture of Steny with that crippled bird. The bird gets health care now, bitches!
- This is the stuff Rush Limbaugh will be playing clips of tomorrow. This tired Democratic leadership glad-handing, televised. Luckily, James Clyburn is now speaking, to bring some Seriousness to the issue.
- They all “locked arms, earlier this afternoon.” Gross?
- Ha ha, the Dems who voted for the Health Care Reform are the ones with human eyes and souls. The traitors will be fed to rats.
- Okay, bored now.
- CNN again, Wolf will play a “disturbing moment” when somebody yells “BABY KILLER” at Bart Stupak. HAHAHAHAH, this was great, this must be in Newell’s liveblog. It was an actual Republican member of Congress, and CNN has been asking them all, and of course all the Republicans say they’ve got No Idea who, sitting among them, yelled this so loud that the House floor microphones. Jesus christ.
- So, obviously, it was Joe Wilson.
- Sleazy car-stereo salesman Darrell Issa — an asshole even by San Diego County standards — is going to speak on CNN, so we are going to change the channel. Cry, you fucking sleaze.
- Thank you, everybody in the Wonkette World Army, for spending some of your Sunday night with us. It was kind of fun, no? Yes! Thanks for your comments, your eyeballs, your tips and especially for wiping off the keyboard when you’re done. Now let’s go out and get America sick as hell!
- Finally, here is the email Barack Obama just sent to your editor, and only your editor:
- Ken –
For the first time in our nation’s history, Congress has passed comprehensive health care reform. America waited a hundred years and fought for decades to reach this moment. Tonight, thanks to you, we are finally here.
Consider the staggering scope of what you have just accomplished:
Because of you, every American will finally be guaranteed high quality, affordable health care coverage.
Every American will be covered under the toughest patient protections in history. Arbitrary premium hikes, insurance cancellations, and discrimination against pre-existing conditions will now be gone forever.
And we’ll finally start reducing the cost of care — creating millions of jobs, preventing families and businesses from plunging into bankruptcy, and removing over a trillion dollars of debt from the backs of our children.
But the victory that matters most tonight goes beyond the laws and far past the numbers.
It is the peace of mind enjoyed by every American, no longer one injury or illness away from catastrophe.
It is the workers and entrepreneurs who are now freed to pursue their slice of the American dream without fear of losing coverage or facing a crippling bill.
And it is the immeasurable joy of families in every part of this great nation, living happier, healthier lives together because they can finally receive the vital care they need.
This is what change looks like.
My gratitude tonight is profound. I am thankful for those in past generations whose heroic efforts brought this great goal within reach for our times. I am thankful for the members of Congress whose months of effort and brave votes made it possible to take this final step. But most of all, I am thankful for you.
This day is not the end of this journey. Much hard work remains, and we have a solemn responsibility to do it right. But we can face that work together with the confidence of those who have moved mountains.
Our journey began three years ago, driven by a shared belief that fundamental change is indeed still possible. We have worked hard together every day since to deliver on that belief.
We have shared moments of tremendous hope, and we’ve faced setbacks and doubt. We have all been forced to ask if our politics had simply become too polarized and too short-sighted to meet the pressing challenges of our time. This struggle became a test of whether the American people could still rally together when the cause was right — and actually create the change we believe in.
Tonight, thanks to your mighty efforts, the answer is indisputable: Yes we can.
Thank you,
President Barack Obama

I support a movement that would encourage key House Democrats–Pelosi, Hoyer, Obey, Frank, Weiner–to wear giant foam pointing fingers on their heads, making them permanent bullet points, to remind us all of this day, of this post, of this moment when Ken showed up late on a Sunday.

Hey teabaggers, enjoy a nice big bag of dicks – it’s on Barry !
Yes we Kenya?
Geraldo is the new faux liberal.
Okay, so when do the death panels start? Can we nominate folks for that??
Best. Fucking. Milkshake. Ever.
And in honor of those who didn’t live to see this day, I raise an empty mug and say…
“”To alll my friennndds!”"
Today, we are all healthcare-grubbing socialists!
[re=536258]Barrelhse[/re]: We should call Limpballs and ask when he is putting his house on the market and hiring a real estate agent in Costa Rica. You know, could we help him with the move….
Is it wrong of me to want to wacth “Blazing Saddles” right now ?
WhooHOO! When do the death panels start?
Has anyone checked in on the retards of FireDogLake? We need to make sure they’re not gonna go all Jonestown on us…
[re=536264]Extemporanus[/re]: But you know,for slupering the milkshake, your going to die an angry, alienated rich fuck. Just heads up there.
Fine, fine this is passed. But now, what with immigration reform and the First Food Nazi Michelle to contend with….

Let us now toast one another with shots of vodka, Comrades, and a rousing chorus of the Internationale! Tonight incremental, centrist, perhaps-TOO-reasonable healthcare reform, tomorrow the Gulag Archipelago!
I’m going first thing in the morning to see if I can get my “mark of the beast” implant put in, like, ASAP. Cuz this bitch here? This bitch can afford her health insurance now!
Awwwwwwww SHIIIIIIIIIT!
Well, I must say, after that last vote, half my nose opened up and my sinus headache has abated somewhat. By tomorrow morning, I’ll be full of vim and vigor.

Huzzah for catfish and most especially for Victoria Williams! Much better than CSPAN.
Let’s hope the Costa Ricans are organizing a “welcoming” party. Something involving a mule, fence rails, and one Guinness World Records-size vat of hot fat for boiling donuts sounds like fun.
To continue for just a sec from the other thread, and I know y’all gonna kill me for saying this, but wouldn’t it be funny if Hopey got the bill and vetoed it? Jesus, don’t throw all that shit at me, I’m only kidding.

[re=536325]ElitistMarxist[/re]: Never underestimate the power of the reactionary scum bag type, particularly when the other political identities on the market don’t have the sheer libidinal appeal of hardcore Redtard politics. They have a clear, forceful, and consistent message of decentralization, no taxes, and smaller governments. We, on the left aren’t playing the game with the same intensity, or even on the same plane, and its going to show in the coming elections.
After Obama signs the bill in a few days, how long until we see fire and brimstone coming down from the skies, rivers and seas boiling, 40 years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanoes, the dead rising from the grave, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together…mass hysteria?
So inspired by this night that I’m going to name my kids “Steny” & “Dingell”. Unless I decide to sign up for the free abortions, of course.

And the 40 years of darkness began in January 1981, so maybe not quite it was only about 30, with a little time off in the 90s, but not much.
[re=536336]BarackMyWorld[/re]: The talking head on CNN said as little time as the next day, but the bulk in about 90 days.
Worth noting…just went by Fox News…someone actual Fox News correspondent named Kimberly Guilfoyle was talking to Geraldo just now and the words “moderately priced call girl” come to mind. Geez.
So when does free enterprise get killed? I’d pay to see that logical fallacy die.
[re=536344]BarackMyWorld[/re]: Hey, she’s still on….I’m not kidding. She totally looks like a hooker. Look for yourself!
Well it isn’t as strong as I wished it would be, but if it’s good enough to send Limbaugh packing, it’s good enough for me.
Kimberly Guilfoyle was talking to Geraldo

Heh heh, guarantee Erick son of Erick found the coins while filling his weekly order for anal beads.
I’ll stop being a dick for a moment to say: I finally understand why people of my grandparents’ generation would have a picture of JFK or whatever in their dining room. This is what it feels like to have a president who will kick ass on my behalf. It is awesome.

[re=536346]BarackMyWorld[/re]: She’s a total cunt, and not in any kind of good way. I rarely, rarely watch Fox, because I don’t want to give them the Nielsens, but any time I turn it on she’s there screeching out some lie.
I’ve actually never seen a hooker in person, that I know of, so I don’t know what a “moderately priced call girl” looks like. You wanna share with us how you know?

Even though I’m not too happy with this bill and we deserve better, I’m sure it’s pissing off all the right people (Teabaggers, etc.) and that’s not a bad thing, either.
But I do support the student loan overhaul that’s tacked on it.
Hey Barack My World! No, no, no, no, when you reach that level of success and respect they don’t don’t call you a ho, they call you Madame! Especially with all the real whores she works with I think she has earned the respect of her proper title. Now let’s see what is in her address book….
Well said Diabeetis. I may not agree with it either, but if it is pissing off the Teabaggers it is definitely doing something right. Judge a man (or a bill) by his enemies I always say.
“Let’s not all start suckin’ each others’ dicks yet.” We’ve still got to hold on to the House in November to keep the Republicans from stealing health care out from under the poor sods, like a baby on an Australian windowsill.

The beltway MSM wisdom maybe wrong?? Who would of thunk it. I mean they’re never wrong, because Iraq had WMDs and the economy is humming and everyone should get in on real estate in California, Florida, Nevada and Arizona because you can make some mad money flipping properties. Alan Greenspan is an economic genius, deregulation is good,etc. The only shocking part is some libs buying the broderesque bullshit meme hopey cant get stuff done and republicans(who havent done wide stance jack squat) are in for a landslide. Well just like they missed the economic meltdown, Im thinking they maybe suprised again come November.
So teabaggers, get ready for the ram-cram-jam next week and the talking head media better be in the mood for some crow. I looking at you morning douche.
[re=536322]laziestgal[/re]: You’ll get no criticism from me for being non-snarky and weepy. I went to Obama’s health care rally at George Mason on Friday with my kid who is a student there and also has a chronic health condition that would have probably excluded her from most health insurance plans pre-HCR. I can’t express how proud I am of our leaders for making this happen. Not that I wouldn’t have supported the bill without the personal angle, but it really resonates with me that we could really have been bankrupted by lifesaving medical treatments without this legislation.
Bless you, Mr. President, Madame Speaker, and Mr. Senate Majority Leader…shit, while I’m at it, bless you Bart Stupak. And from an atheist, those blessings don’t come cheap.

HAHAHAHAHAHA WE ARE SO SNARKY, GUYS, RIGHT?????
Getting past the snark, which I rarely do, I think this will prove to have been the worst week for the Rs since November 2008, or possibly even since Watergate. Consider this: 1. The only issue on which they had any traction in the polls was HCR, with only a minority of the public supporting it. This will change completely as they have to pivot from spinning lies about “death panels” to arguing in favor of taking away an existing benefit. They don’t call Social Security the third rail of electoral politics for nothing. Entitlement programs are always popular once people get used to them, which they will have by November. 2. With their mystifying failure to denounce the racist teabaggers, they now own them. In fact, pigfuckers now make up one of two main elements of the Republican party. 3. The second core element, as Boner made clear last week, is Wall Street insiders. Now, pigfuckers and fat cats are good groups to have on your side (there are, Allah knows, many of the former and the latter have lots of scratch) but everyone else hates them. This will only get worse for the Rs, since the next major issues to come before Congress will be Dodd’s financial reform bill and a jobs package. These are issues on which the Dems have 2-1 majorities in public opinion polls. It will be so easy to paint Boner et al as stooges of the Wall Street fat cats. This will distance them from the vast majority of Americans, including many of the (non-pigfucking) teabaggers. 4. Hopey and Pelosi have proven themselves to be a tough tag-team, which will create greater discipline among the Dems and force the Rs increasingly to become naysayers. As there are no more easy targets to demagogue on the horizon (I’m assuming we wait until a second term before we tread in the parlous field of immigration reform), this puts them in a very weak position both legislatively and electorally. I would expect that the general rule of large governing-party losses in an off year election will not hold true this year. We will also, undoubtedly, see the breakup of the Repub monolith on the Hill. If they couldn’t stop HCR, they damn sure won’t be able to stop financial reform or a jobs package, and you will have many more of them crossing over to vote with the Dems simply to try to keep their seats.
In all, a very satisfying conclusion to the weekend! I am going to celebrate by having a double Chivas at my favorite Shanghai bar.

[re=536412]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: Sadly, no. But Rush is being deported to his home land of Uranus.No more amnesty for these extraterrestrials Uranians that steal our jobs and shill for those big insurance companies. Dam forgins.
All I’m saying is that Dick Cheney would be skull fucking Tip O’Neil’s corpse if he had pulled off a victory like this.
[re=536410]Terry[/re]: I do not see the point, considering that the other House Republicans covering for the culprit makes it more incriminating and/or amusing.
This is not the Armageddon that the GOP promised me!
I looked at my health insurance premium bill this morning and it hasn’t changed a bit. Health Care Reform has failed!
[re=536401]Herman the German[/re]:
The only test that republicans ace with flying colors. Good thing this Bill passed, because pre-HCR this huge priapism I’m sporting mighty have been deemed a preexisting condition.
[re=536400]Red Zeppelin[/re]: It’s always better to defend an accomplishment than to try to explain ones failure to accomplish anything. Besides reconciliation might develop into a habit. It’s already being used to pass the student loan bill.
The Thought Police knocked down my door this morning and took away my entire family for “re-education.” I kind of like this new dictatorship. Can we outlaw pants next?
AHHH HEALTH CARE BILL PASSAGE HAS DRENCHED WONKETTE IN SIEMENS
Heh heh. Siemens. This is much better than Giant Campbell Brown. No Bull.
Another lesson from this: Don’t fuck with an Italian grandmother. Just don’t.
So I have to ask Senator DeMint – “Who’s Waterloo is it now, dickface?”
While we celebrate the passage of health insurance reform, let’s not overlook something else that happened last night: Student loan reform passed, too!!!
Obama – 2
Forces of Evil – 0
How’s that Waterloo thingy working out????
Geez, you know, I leave the country for a couple days and that’s when everything happens. Sorry I missed it all, you guys.
God bless America.
“Yes we can” – exactly the words Hitler and Stalin used when they forced free health care on their enslaved populations!
What next from these evil commu-fascist-nazis??? Energy independence??? Public transportation improvements???
Finally! I can go down to the farm and not worry about getting pig AIDS from the livestock and/or the farmer’s daughter.
[re=536354]Katydid[/re]:Type “escort service” into the internet search engine of your choice. Find one that seems moderately priced to you. Look at the photos of the escorts and bear in mind that PhotoShop is everywhere.
[re=536402]Red Zeppelin[/re]: But Rush now favours the Costa Rican boys also… oh, and he allegedly hates HCR enough to move there…
[re=536412]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: All Hail The Glorious Marxist-Obamaist People’s Revolution!!
[re=536420]plowman[/re]: The worst part is that I am not sure if you are joking or not.
-Katydid:Type “escort service” into the internet search engine of your choice.
Perhaps not at work, though.
[re=536412]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: Long Life Chairman Obama!!!
When we start the Glorious Peoples Death Paneling, I get dibs on Glenn Beck.
Today: Obama vetoes healthcare bill, laughs at America as he escapes back to Kenya.

I am afraid the Tea Baggers aren’t done. They have a motivated army of foot soldiers who will show up any where, any time and us Dems have a hard time doing that (fancy cheese sales, white wine tastings, abortion appointments). Plus, the Tea Baggers don’t believe in anything, so they can spout whatever they want unchallenged. The Prez is going to have to get on the road through the entire spring and summer telling the truth about this bill, what it means to ‘merikun families, etc. I don’t know what the rules are about using House videotape, but that speech from Boner should be in every Democrat’s ad this cycle. THAT is the face of the Angry Party of NO.
kabuki theater
Yep, that’s about the size of it, bunky.
God bless Obama. God bless Nancy Pelosi. And God Bless the United States of America. I am actually weeping this morning. Plus I don’t even believe in God. And I still want to tie Rahm Emanuel to a bed and suck his dick. Now more than ever.
i say that everyone should send . senator demint a copy of the abba song waterloo just for shits and giggles…and those who are really creative…dress up like abba and play/lip sync that song in his offices…after all if teabaggers can get away with the shit they do…this should be a snap.
[re=536475]MzNicky[/re]: you’re gonna have to fight Mazza for that privledge.
Can’t go to the rectal exam with you,cuz I’m off to my FREE abortion. WHOOP! What? The Republicans killed the free abortions on demand for everyone? Damn! What kind of sick weirdos hate abortion so much?
[re=536455]Beanball[/re]: Jeez! That almost put one of my eyes out!
: HEY now we know who wears the M-16s in the house! MICHELLE WHAT WOULD YOUR MOTHER SAY?
Damnit, htmlfail. I hide my face in shame. [re=536303]Lucidamente[/re]: HEY now we know who wears the M-16s in the house! MICHELLE WHAT WOULD YOUR MOTHER SAY?
Republicans should be celebrating this as well.If they get revenge-jabbed by an angry pageboy, they won’t be dropped for the pre-existing condition of being an asshole.
[re=536324]Smoke Filled Roommate[/re]: ’84 version: it’s 49 states long.
