Barack Obama Insults All Women (Sarah Palin!)

by Jim Newell  

The real loser here is George Stephanopoulos, who seems to be the target behind Obama’s terrible, TERRIBLE rage. “George, we’re in Prague — a castle in the ancient city of Prague — with Russians, actual Russians, signing actual real-life treaties to get rid of some nukes, and you are asking me about Sarah Palin’s latest pre-kindergarten bullshit. This is what you’re doing.” How does George Stephanopoulos even put on the straight face to ask these things, being the biggest Greek Democrat in history? [TPM/YouTube]

Oh but she is, Preznit Barry! She once saw the movie “By Dawn’s Early Light” on HBO for like five minutes till she changed the channel to Skinemax or The Home Shopping Channel.

Sharkey April 9, 2010 at 1:23 pm

KABOOM!

Mr Blifil April 9, 2010 at 1:23 pm

Hah, he basically said she can suck his dick. In fact that’s what he actually said, literally.

geminisunmars April 9, 2010 at 1:24 pm

I lurve that guy more and more. (Barry, not George – who doesn’t seem to be much of an expert on nucular or political stuff either, if he can even ask crap like that). I know, not really snark.

rocktonsammy April 9, 2010 at 1:26 pm

George Snuffalupagus and Sarah Palin, biggest stupidest asshole cunts ever!

jetjaguar April 9, 2010 at 1:27 pm

YES

That should be the format used for every reply to every comment Palin has ever babbled.

“I really have no response to that. Last I checked Sarah Palin is not much of an expert on X.”

Whereas “X” can be substituted with any topic every conceived my mankind.

THE END

BlueStateLiberal April 9, 2010 at 1:28 pm

[re=552552]ManchuCandidate[/re]: There was also that mini-series in the ’80s, Red Dawn, or something like that, and she watched almost 45 minutes of it.

SmutBoffin April 9, 2010 at 1:29 pm

Shit, what’s next, G. Steph? Askin’ Barry to respond to Teahadi claims that he’s a Kenyan clone of V. I. Lenin?

geminisunmars April 9, 2010 at 1:29 pm

[re=552554]Mr Blifil[/re]: I think that, figuratively, Michelle would knock that dick out of her (SP’s) mouth. But I wish she wouldn’t because I don’t care what we need to stuff in that orifice to silence that horrible voice.

snideinplainsight April 9, 2010 at 1:31 pm

She knows that “SALT” has something to do with nucular missles. See, it says so right on her palm.

Texan Bulldoggette April 9, 2010 at 1:32 pm

[re=552559]jetjaguar[/re]: Whoa hoh, my good man (I assume). You undersell Snowbilly. Things she’s an expert on:

1. making lots of $$ for giving word salad speeches
2. sucking the last molecule out of someone until their usefulness is gone & they are tossed aside like Trig’s shitty diaper
3. grifting/snagging every free thing possible

x111e7thst April 9, 2010 at 1:32 pm

[re=552559]jetjaguar[/re]: What about the retards? Surely you concede her ability to speak autoritatively on this one issue.

geminisunmars April 9, 2010 at 1:32 pm

[re=552559]jetjaguar[/re]: Oh what a fun game! Leads to hilarity.

After watching that I kinda feel the way I did after watching Eric Roberts play Dorothy Stratten’s husband in Star 80. Too arcane?

GoinGreen April 9, 2010 at 1:34 pm

[re=552559]jetjaguar[/re]: Except for the topic of “whiny, nasely, fuck-throated, retarded comments”. For this, she is the premier fucking expert!!!

ella April 9, 2010 at 1:34 pm

I guess Barbie’s never heard of St. Ronnie of Reagan. Among other things.

Surfeit O'Hubris April 9, 2010 at 1:34 pm

But… but… bein’ an expert on things is elitist. Also.

Jim Demintia April 9, 2010 at 1:35 pm

That is pretty much the story of America during the Obama presidency.

“Mr. President, you’re in the middle of doing serious thing X. What do you say to the mob of retards and street-corner lunatics who believe you to be building death camps and signing the country over to Islamic Communists?”

weejee April 9, 2010 at 1:35 pm

Palin for Prez!!! She’s obviously the only one really qualified to lead us halfway through the Apocalypse.

BOOBIES! April 9, 2010 at 1:38 pm

That’s right, Sarah. Now get your ass in the kitchen and make me something to eat.

geminisunmars April 9, 2010 at 1:40 pm

Who does Georgie work for now? Can we deluge them with complaints?

SayItWithWookies April 9, 2010 at 1:40 pm

Not much of an expert on nuclear issues?! What the hell — when the rest of America was freaking out about Saddam Hussein’s potential nuclear attack on the United States, who was keeping Alaska safe from that mushroom cloud? Okay, it was someone who was governor of Alaska before Sarah Palin — but she was governor right afterwards. So really, I think President Obama owes Sarah Palin an apology. For which she will criticize him.

mumblyjoe April 9, 2010 at 1:40 pm

OOOOHHH SNAP. It just got REAL

As a quick side-note: this is the only appropriate way to respond to any and every situation in which an African smacks down some dumbass.

nappyduggs April 9, 2010 at 1:40 pm

But she bombs at every turn,regularly sees large clumps of hair in her drain, and breaths through the gills located on either side of her asscrack. She knows about nuclear after effects, then. Doesn’t that count for anything?

Joshua Norton April 9, 2010 at 1:40 pm

NEEDS MOAR FLAGPIN !!11!!!!1!! Also.

GoinGreen April 9, 2010 at 1:41 pm

[re=552574]thesheriffisnear[/re]: No – you are right on. Palin is the Paul Snider of American politics. She is just a pimp cunt that crashes everyone’s party – but, left unchecked, she will eventually blow our goddamned financial brains out and assfuck our quivering economy. For that, you can be sure.

GOPCrusher April 9, 2010 at 1:41 pm

Just for that response, we should consider the man for President For Life.

freakishlystrong April 9, 2010 at 1:41 pm

“In what sense George?”

Oldskool April 9, 2010 at 1:42 pm

I wish Barry would unload on that crazy Cheney. Oh, the female one. Shit, the daughter. Damn, the hetro one.

As he said “uh” at the beginning, you know there was an original answer that he decided not to give. I’d love to hear the first thought that went through his head.

imissopus April 9, 2010 at 1:44 pm

I love the “I really have no response to that.” I think Barry had to sit on his hands to keep from reaching over and smacking Steph on the side of the head while yelling “ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??!!” Or maybe I’m just projecting.

comicbookguy April 9, 2010 at 1:44 pm

I guess you guys missed it when Putin reared his head over Alaska and blocked out the Sun. You won’t be laughing when you get rickets.

nappyduggs April 9, 2010 at 1:46 pm

Also, I for one would love to follow the precedent set by the Halfsies herself, take out of context what she says in that clip, meet her in a schoolyard, and slap her upside that empty head.

She will not retaliate! NO BACKSIES!!!!!1!11

Well done, Mr. President.

maven April 9, 2010 at 1:48 pm

Gotta give Huff Post credit on this one, they attached a youtube video of Palin’s mindless babble on this subject (during the VP debate) to their presentation of this story.

chascates April 9, 2010 at 1:48 pm

The only expertise she has is related to human conception and buying expensive clothes.

Lascauxcaveman April 9, 2010 at 1:48 pm

“George, if you ever want another interview, you better stop wasting my time.”

donner_froh April 9, 2010 at 1:49 pm

Georgie should be muzzled permanently. Asking the President “please respond to this harpy whose strident, shrill, twangy voice makes a fishwife sound like a choir of angels” makes him ineligible to ask anyone anything on camera.

thesheriffisnear April 9, 2010 at 1:51 pm

[re=552590]GoinGreen[/re]: I was referring to the painful embarrasment I felt for Snuffalupagus after he humiliated himself by bringing an irrelevant lightweight into a conversation of such obvious gravity. That said, I like your analysis better because it implies that I’m reflective and not merely kneejerkingly ideologic.

Nappied Hypotenuse April 9, 2010 at 1:52 pm

The Biggest Greek Democrat is Dora Bakoyannis, not Snuffleupagus. GET IT RIGHT, NEWELL!!!1!!!1

WIDTAP April 9, 2010 at 2:05 pm

In Sarah’s world when the kindergartner shoves the 6th grader on the playground, it’s the 6th grader’s responsibility to pull out a shotgun and blow the little punk’s face off. Otherwise the bigger kid is not recognizing the exceptionalism of the 6th grade. Also.

mustardman April 9, 2010 at 2:21 pm

George is dead to me now. In all seriousness, I actually respected him as one of the few serious journalists out there until this stunt!

It was George Stepanopolopolopolous who solemnly asked then-Sen. Obama if “Revered Wright loves America as much as you”, wasn’t it? So his continued douchenozzelry should hardly come as a surprise.

gurukalehuru April 9, 2010 at 2:36 pm

[re=552686]mustardman[/re]: You must have missed the time that some Republican asswipe he was interviewing confused Nepal with Tibet, like 3 or 4 times, and Steppinoffthebus failed to call him on it, because he undoubtedly didn’t know the difference either.

I think Bill Clinton is a great man, but why he had this moron on his team is beyond me.

gurukalehuru April 9, 2010 at 2:48 pm

The beauty of the formula is not only that x, equaling any subject on which Sarah Palin is not an expert, can refer to almost any subject at all, but y (Palin)is also quite flexible.
“I really have no response to that. Last I checked:
Rush Limbaugh is not an expert on healthy lifestyles
Glenn Beck is not an expert on global warming
Sean Hannity is not an expert on economics
Newt Gingrich is not an expert on basketball
Tim Pawlenty is not an expert on bridge construction
Chuck Grassley is not an expert on the difference between his ass and a hole in the ground
and so forth.

Cape Clod April 9, 2010 at 2:50 pm

I hope that this is the clarion call for all responsible people to start slapping down the stupids.

GOPCrusher April 9, 2010 at 2:51 pm

It’s a sad statement when MSM gives Bible Spice some kind of credibility. Faux Noise is understandable, but ABC? Maybe it’s time for the FCC to pull their broadcasting license.

Anonymous Office Zombie April 9, 2010 at 3:03 pm

Thank you, serious journalist, George Snufalufagus. Thank you for doing your best to lend credibility to the screeching idiocy of Sarah Palin. Were it not for enablers like you, politics might degenerate into boring matters of rational discourse and informed policy making.

NOT too arcane. After seeing that movie, my stomach knots at the mere sight of Eric Roberts, to this day. It might make him the greatest actor in the world, but I’ll never know because I can’t watch his movies.

Aside to Newell: Never put the words “Stephanopoulos” and “bigger” in the same sentence. His height, talent, and intellect are all correspondingly tiny.
