“I hate socialist abortionist foreign black people,” the seal said, running off to join a Tea Party rally. [YouTube]

You jest, but you know this clip will be heavily featured in some hysterical, ominously scored ad by the Not Gay Tea Party Patriot Brave People who Love the Constitution and Have Honestly Read It, of Real America, for a Whiter Tomorrow in the near future.

man, that teleprompter can update itself quickly.

Cue "Told ya so, as it was prophecized in Revelation" screed from Bryan Fischer and the AFA in 3…2…1…

Oh for fuck's sake. They're just parodying themselves at this point.

Kitty_Sanchez October 6, 2010 at 8:02 pm

They really take the fun out of it when they're that predictable, don't they?

Crap.

Gleem_McShineys October 6, 2010 at 8:06 pm

Goddamn it! What the fucking fuck are we going to use to power our snark, when these fuckers completely and utterly destroy satire forever?

One_who_wanders October 6, 2010 at 3:28 pm

And then along will come the overwrought allegory from someone at the NY Times or Slate or Time. You can't be first but you can be next.

Oh please, I was hoping that wouldn't happen, but I know it will. Instead of "The screws on the seal had not been properly affixed into the podium," it'll be long pointless screeds about how this is an important metaphor for Obama's presidency, and having nothing to do with gravity or cheap screws made in China.

emmelemm October 6, 2010 at 4:11 pm

That would involve acknowledging that gravity exists, and therefore, that science exists.

Or the fact that we are completely and utterly dependent on China, and all the flag-waving trucknutz patriotism isn't going to change it.

"cheap screws made in China"
Why does the focus always return to Sarah Palin?

housbinfarteen October 7, 2010 at 1:06 am

Cuz when people think of loose screws, they think of Sarah.

SayItWithWookies October 6, 2010 at 3:29 pm

This wouldn't have happened if President Obama had continued Dubya's practice of drawing the seal on the podium in crayon.

nounverb911 October 6, 2010 at 3:37 pm

Didn't the original Constitution state that the sign only had to stay up 3/5ths the time?

Naked_Bunny October 6, 2010 at 5:02 pm

By law, now that the seal has fallen on the ground, the podium, the Oval Office, and the President must be burned.

imissopus October 6, 2010 at 3:46 pm

Good thing it wasn't his precious teleprompter or he'd have really been up shit's creek, amirite?

LionelHutzEsq October 6, 2010 at 4:01 pm

Perhaps it was the teleprompter that attacked the seal for taking up all the limelight?

neiltheblaze October 6, 2010 at 4:07 pm

The Right will think this is an OMEN. Just like the phalanx of geese at the Beckapaloozathon was supposed to be a sign that their sky-wizard god gave a shit.

finallyhappy October 6, 2010 at 4:43 pm

I didn't hear that- that's a joke, right. Because we have so many goddamn geese in the metro area, if geese are a sign then the golf course near my house must be home to the ark of the covenant, Noah's ark and the true cross.

I couldn't make this up:

glamourdammerung October 6, 2010 at 5:43 pm

Well, there was the goose-stepping.

housbinfarteen October 6, 2010 at 6:44 pm

I think I saw Geese Witherspoon.

PresBeeblebrox October 6, 2010 at 4:16 pm

Let's use the same ol' formula again:

1. Otherwise innocuous and unremarkable event shows complete lack of dignity & respect for US America held by Obama administration.
2. Rotting corpse of Ronnie Reagan.
3. ???
4. Profit (i.e., GOP winz in November)

savethispatient October 6, 2010 at 4:29 pm

When the seal was asked for a comment, it said "Arf! Arf! Arf!" then ate a bucket of fishheads.

lochnessmonster October 6, 2010 at 5:52 pm

I don't know why it bugs me so much but when did those giant backdrops start appearing behind every presidential speech? To me it is a giant waste of money and I'm curious about what they are hiding behind it. I'm thinking it was with Bush Jr. but correct me if I'm wrong (it does happen occasionally).

PoisndRationlty October 6, 2010 at 6:46 pm

Todd Palin walks into a snow machine repair shop looking for service …. The tech looks up and says "Hmm, looks like you blew a seal" Todd blushes deeply and says "No, no, that's just ice in my mustache"

JustPixelz October 6, 2010 at 7:16 pm

Beck said the Constitution was hanging by a thread, but he was WRONG WRONG WRONG. So fuck you Glen (I mean that figuratively, if you touch me I'm screaming.)

JustPixelz October 6, 2010 at 7:18 pm

Perhaps the seal is telling us something. Obama won in a landslide. The Demoncrats practically ran the table for House & Senate. And yet, it's as if the Repubicans are still calling all the shots.

deanbooth October 6, 2010 at 8:36 pm

"You know who I am" = uppity

7pilesofwisdom October 7, 2010 at 2:12 pm

I told them not to let Chrysler build that podium.

beforei October 7, 2010 at 5:04 pm

Barack Hussein Nobama is a half-breed sociolist muslin from Kenya. He is not the president of this land of freedoms. I can't wait until this midterm election bloodbath for the libruls. Then is ass will be justifiably impeached.
