Teabagger Style Sweeps America, Obama Makes Gays Happy & NASA Sad

by Ken Layne  7:41 am April 16, 2010

  • Thank christ we're allowed to call them Teabaggers begin, because look, teabagger!Teabagger/National High Five Day may be over, but the filth and the fury will live in our hearts at least through this morning. One collateral victim of the Crazy Crowd: Teevee heartthrob Sean Hannity, who planned to perform his variety show as the headline act at some Cincinnati Teabag Event, until Fox News bosses realized the Tea Party company was charging $20 per ticket for Hannity’s dumb show, which people watch for free, maybe, on Fox News! Sean Hannity gets Weekend Detention. [LA Times]
  • Oh what in the HELL.

  • Capitalist weirdo Barack Obama wants private industry to take Human Space Exploration away from the bloated federal government program that hasn’t done anything impressive in forty years. Why is Obama ignoring the wishes of Republican congressmen in Florida and Texas who want to keep space welfare? [New York Times]
  • I'll be your knight in shining armor coming to your Emotional Rescue.

  • But has Barack Obama done anything for America’s Gay Majority that elected him? Yes, finally: Gay people will now be able to visit their partners in the hospital, because this is something they were previously not allowed to do, in America: visit their sick and dying partners in the hospital. [Washington Post]
  • Oh look, they hate *women* too. Go figure.

  • A million people have been left homeless by the cyclone that killed more than a hundred in Bangladesh and southeastern India. And this is your Horrible Natural Disaster of the morning. [Malaysia Times]

Walking downtown yesterday, I have never seen so many fucking fanny packs in my whole life. When will someone engage the services of What Not to Wear for these ugly, racist, unfashionable morons? WHEN?!

Lazy Media April 16, 2010 at 7:50 am

What, no mention that ALL AIR TRAVEL is shut down in northwestern Europe? I mean, you can still get around by train, so I guess not that big a deal, but still! Heathrow! No planes in or out! Unpronounceable Icelandic volcano death!

TGY April 16, 2010 at 7:54 am

Not all the bags are hanging from the hat, if you get my subtle drift. And I would totally do the T-Parody girl twice: once for the costume and once for her cute, adorable self.

hoosiermama April 16, 2010 at 7:58 am

So now we’ve seen both sides of the spectrum of Hot Topic patrons at the tea bag rallies. I think Alicia Silverstone here has my vote for best snark among the youngs.

BlueStateLibtard April 16, 2010 at 8:17 am

None-Snark Post: I’m so glad the President wants to privatize NASA (and I swear he knows damn well how he’s messing with the Repubs’ heads with privatization). Because you know if we ever do find anything valuable out there, the Repubs would have no problem handing it over for free to their cronies, despite all the billions of taxpayer dollars that subsidize space exploration.

upstateNY April 16, 2010 at 8:18 am

Looks like the tea bag lady’s underwears are wriggling around in excrement. For America.

NJB April 16, 2010 at 8:18 am

So, by how many thousands has the media pumped up the attendance figures?

MMS April 16, 2010 at 8:25 am

Mmmm. I just want to dribble off them dishwater-colored hanes her way.

SlouchingTowardsWasilla April 16, 2010 at 8:28 am

Note to the fabulous organ grinder girl – if you send your parents the link to urbandictionary.com you will never have to use the word “testicles” in conversation with them ever again.

Limeylizzie April 16, 2010 at 8:38 am

That first “woman” appears to have multiple buttock cheeks, looks like a sack of kittens going in the river.

Is there nothing I can say, nothing I can do, to change your mind

Hammer Head, was deprived of his nitwititty, platform?

Cicada April 16, 2010 at 8:47 am

[re=557842]BlueStateLibtard[/re]: Are you kidding? NASA isn’t getting privatized, it’s just getting out of the manned space flight business. The reason that pisses off the Republicans is that it forces us to cooperate with the dreaded Ruskies to get up to the ISS. It’s a real blow to the old Cold Warriors.

Sorry if I missed the snark.

Bz April 16, 2010 at 8:49 am

The very fact that hospitals and care institutions denied a human right for a person to see their partner is abominable. Acting in a humane and human way is not.

the problem child April 16, 2010 at 8:54 am

You think that you’re his pet Pekinese. That is all.

coolcatdaddy April 16, 2010 at 8:55 am

To the guy in the photo with the Ex-Wife sign: There’s probably a reason she’s your ex-wife.

nappyduggs April 16, 2010 at 8:58 am

I’m fairly certain that those Lipton ornaments were in danger of steeping, not only in back-gravy seepage, but in the dense vapors arising from that broad’s sweaty crack.

And to the gentleman with the $500 limit Orchard Bank that his ex-wife just won’t leave alone: does that mean that you want to end the little skirmishes in Iraq and Afghanistan on 11/2/10? ‘Cause I might back you on that one.

Barrelhse April 16, 2010 at 8:58 am

Those teabags should be immersed in boiling water, head first.

Monsieur Grumpe April 16, 2010 at 9:06 am

The guy with the exwife sign is trying to tap into that sweet teabaggin’ skirt, ummm, I mean fannypack. Yes girls, he is single! Can you believe it?

[re=557837]MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend[/re]: The teabaggers are all homophobic, as well as racist (like our new “fried” Robespierre); which is too bad for them, because they could really use a gay friend for fashion advice.

What Fresh Hell is This? April 16, 2010 at 9:44 am

The “Ex-Wife” sign guy is still married — and boy, will his wife be pissed when she sees him on the google. Plus, I don’t think he will have ANY luck tea-bagging yesterday’s Goth chick.

WadISay April 16, 2010 at 9:45 am

[re=557877]JMP[/re]: Repressed gay doesn’t count, either; need the flamboyant.

ClusterFox was upset that they aren’t getting PAID for InSannity’s appearance! If somebody’s going to make money off InSannity’s show, they are gosh darn just going to have to buy an ad on it!

Did you hear about the endorsement deal Sheer “Am i An Idiot?” InSannity turned down?

I didn’t either.

Troubledog April 16, 2010 at 10:01 am

Since your ex-wife started crashing at my place, dude, she hasn’t spent a dime. She doesn’t even remember your name. You see that big smile on her? That’s what the founding fathers wanted. Especially Franklin and Jefferson.

My new reality show is going to be called The Real Ex-Wives of the Tea Party Movement.

[re=557840]TGY[/re]: Hmmm…would weed make a good tea or would it taste like shit?

Mr Blifil April 16, 2010 at 10:04 am

Baby Got Fannypack.

Tim April 16, 2010 at 10:11 am

[re=557884]WadISay[/re]: Well I could not help, I generally consider a fanny pack, let alone one worn around the back, to signal that someone is beyond reach. Add to this synthetic boater hats with tea bags and Uhmerkin flags and you realize there is nothing you can do but put them in an ankle length black trench coat with flag holder epaulettes and a few scattered death skulls. Done.

Chuckie Jesus April 16, 2010 at 10:13 am

[re=557903]Dashboard_Buddha[/re]: It takes like crap, but it “works”. Peppermint helps with the crappy flavor.

And now, back to your regularly scheduled program, FANNY PACK ZOMBIES, already in progress.

GoinGreen April 16, 2010 at 10:22 am

[re=557841]hoosiermama[/re]: I am strangely turned on by her snark, repulsed by her baby Abe Lincoln hat, turned on by her appearance of innocence, repulsed by her orange bracelet while wearing red, turned on by her inappropriate use of faux fur, intrigued by the fact that I can’t see whether or not her shoes were fabulous… shit, I am a mess over this little minx!!

GoinGreen April 16, 2010 at 10:24 am

[re=557903]Dashboard_Buddha[/re]: Makes a much better butter spread – easy recipe and GREAT on whole wheat bagels.

[re=557919]GoinGreen[/re]: the tights do it for me…oh and the duct tape. rowrr.

[re=557840]TGY[/re]: Oh dear lord, yes on the parody girl. How can she manage to look so hot in an intentionally ridiculous getup lick that…

Katydid April 16, 2010 at 10:32 am

[re=557839]Lazy Media[/re]: The good news, or the bad news, is that the rest of the world’s peoples are becoming more like Murikans every day:

Debbie Eidsforth, 36, spent the night at Heathrow and was trying to get back to Adelaide in Australia via Hong Kong.

“I had paid 5,500 pounds for my flights, but it doesn’t matter what class you fly in, everyone’s in the same situation,” she said.

Shame they didn’t just put the rich people up in the planes to fight it out with the ash, which is a “major threat,” and in the past 20 years has caused the near-loss of 2 Boeing 747s with 600 people on board.

GoinGreen April 16, 2010 at 10:33 am

[re=557928]Dashboard_Buddha[/re]: I’m conflicted about the boy shorts OVER the tights – does that mean she has a thong on UNDER the tights, or just another pair of boy shorts to deal with? If it is the latter, then I call foul for redundency.

Katydid April 16, 2010 at 10:34 am

[re=557899]Tundra Grifter[/re]: I especially liked the comment from the guy who challenged the LA Times to provide FACTS the next time they want to smear Hannity. That’s some thinking going on in his head there.

queeraselvis v 2.0 April 16, 2010 at 10:44 am

[re=557919]GoinGreen[/re]: Agreed on all points. And yes, we DEMAND to see the shoes. Because of synergy, is all.

predilectrix April 16, 2010 at 11:00 am

[re=557902]Troubledog[/re]: That’s a big laugh so early in the morning.

Thanks. Now I’m wriggling around in misery.

[re=557919]GoinGreen[/re]: No, the hat is perfect. It gives her that Minami Minegishi touch.

SayItWithWookies April 16, 2010 at 11:14 am

The Sean Assity gig turned out to be a win-win — FOX protects its property, Assity gets publicity and Dick Armey’s organization gets the money anyway. Oh, you think a bunch of America-loving patriots are going to start yelling for their money back because they had to listen to Jonah Goldberg? Ha — they only get mad when they’re told to.

frumious_bandersnatch April 16, 2010 at 11:28 am

[re=557856]nappyduggs[/re]: And with this, you have acheived new heights of brilliance. Plus made my whole damn day.

Are we now going to see Sarah and Bristol Palin in jester’s tights, because that’s what all the hotties are wearing?

Hey, lady in the sun hat, tea bag that thing up.

More on Hannity’s no-show.
http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20100416/NEWS0108/304160048/1055/NEWS/Tea+Party+promises+Hannity+refunds
so to sum up: refunds will be issued, and amazingly, this is all the liberals fault.

Briguy April 16, 2010 at 1:43 pm

The lady in the tea bag hat has a backwards camel toe.

GOPCrusher April 16, 2010 at 2:24 pm

[re=558116]Breakfast Bourbon[/re]: So much for The Party Of Personal Responsibility. It couldn’t have anything to do with Insannity trying to be a greedy fucker and putting some scratch in his pocket by preying on the same morans that listen to his tripe.

eheheh April 16, 2010 at 2:26 pm

I would like to point out the cute counter-protester is a student at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Why the teabaggers decided to choose a PUBLIC UNIVERSITY to protest government spending is beyond anyone’s comprehension.

GoinGreen April 16, 2010 at 2:37 pm

[re=558318]eheheh[/re]: Do you have any pics of her shoes? Just askin…

Gramps April 16, 2010 at 6:00 pm

[re=557902]Troubledog[/re]: Yeh got that right…

“***You see that big smile on her? That’s what the founding fathers wanted. Especially Franklin and Jefferson.***”

Franklin as a waggish, consort to the French aristocracy and Jefferson’s close, familiar, relationship with the downstairs help

Gotta luv them Founding Father’s…and I mean father’s, literally…!
