The wat is over. This is reality: Osama bin Laden, killer of people in office buildings, is dead. President Barack Hussein Obama overcame his devotion to Allah and the cause of the terrorists to do what the white idiot who preceeded him could not: our armed forces cornered the bastard in a SUBURBAN MANSION and the president made the call to take him out in a firefight. Americans shot the bearded troll, pulled out his body, and now that the CSI checks are over, the United States is in the possession of its greatest enemy’s corpse. Oh God, what do we do with this body? And, uh, can we maybe close Guantanamo and have our civil liberties back now?
12:22 AM — Uh, Pakistan, you got some splaining to do. Sounds like we have another war on our hands! Yay!
12:23 AM — Whoops, sorry Obama took so long to release that birth certificate. Was a little busy KILLING BIN LADEN.
12:28 AM — President Obama needs to come out and address his people. CROWD SURF, SIR.
12:31 AM — This is how badasses walk.
12:32 AM — American forces are on high alert. Remember when that was something that concerned us? Yes. We are very remember. Very terrorism.
12:36 AM — Oh, we see wingnuts on Twitter are declaring this a victory for Bush. Good! God forbid America come together over this again. We MUST bring lots of politics into this, quickly!
12:44 AM — The U.S. lost a helicopter in this Bin Laden battle; no lives. A new helicopter will have to be purchased. Hooray! The military-industrial complex wins again!
12:49 AM — We’ve been waiting a long time for this. We’ve had TWO Hollywood Spiderman franchises in this span.
12:52 AM — Oh, you guys are still up? Barack Obama isn’t. He’s sleeping. Like a badass baby.
12:53 AM — Jesus Christ, Pakistan was letting Osama bin Laden know our movements. The U.S. figured that out, so they didn’t say anything before this operation. We kind of have to go to war, don’t we?
12:53 AM — A MILLION DOLLAR MANSION. Seriously, fuck Pakistan.
12:55 AM — Osama bin Laden lived in a bigger mansion than Sarah Palin does, from the sound of it.
12:58 AM — Did Bin Laden have a swimming pool and hot tub, like all our mansions in the suburbs here? Because if he was lounging in the Jacuzzi during all of this, fuck him one billion times more.
1:03 AM — Let’s remember the pain some people are going through tonight:
Stay strong, Fox!
1:11 AM — Okay, your editor needs to get to Manhattan so he can take some crappy iPhone photos for you. Ken or Riley may be here soon (if they have an OUNCE of patriotism), but otherwise, inform yourselves in the comments!

Hitler was declared dead on this date, 1945. 2003, Bush declared "Mission accomplished." Celebrity Apprentice preempted by the Bin Laden coverage. Is this real life?
Seems more like a cheap paperback political thriller.
Hitler was killed 66 years ago. Donald Trump is turning 66. Has to be a total conspiracy. Where's Bachman when you need her?
Sarah Palin sent her first tweet on this date?
May Day! May Day!
Also, 61 years ago today Francis Gary Powers was shot down. Fuckin' freaky, man.
Fuckin' freaky, out of thousands upon thousands of historically significant events, an entire handful of them just happened to fall upon the same one of 366 possible dates.
Rarities are commonplace, yes.
And Elvis married 'scilla!
I want OBL's head embalmed and put at the World Trade Memorial where people can spit and piss on it.
I agree. Honestly, that guy was almost as bad as some Republican congressmen I know.
Orange AND white. And Peter King.
Throwing him into the ocean somewhere took away the potential gravesite for his followers to venerate and gather around. Now, they have to take a ride out into the middle of the Indian Ocean. (I'm assuming it was the Indian Ocean, as that one is closest).
This is a relief. The head is cut off the snake. He had ten years to plan, though, what would happen once we got him.
They have said that his corpse will be dealt with in traditional Muslim fashion. So, pretty much, yes.
That or they are going to wrap it in plastic explosive and throw it at a bunch of civilians.
so like he said, traditional Muslim fashion*
*WARNING: Culturally insensitive.
well, maybe before they threw him in the ocean. So I just got up- how is the right making this a bad thing Obama did?
Ayman al-Zwahiri picked the wrong day to stop huffing paint.
…Yes, and don't call me Zwahiri!
OK, Shirley.
Hahahaha!
Republicans: Financial collapse while Bush was president because of Democrats. Bin Laden killed while a Democrat is president, Bush gets credit.
It is always a liberal's fault. NEVAR FORGIT.
They'll find a way to criticize Barry for taking too long too. Just wait.
Trump will claim this happened three days ago and they withheld the announcement just to screw with The Apprentice … in 3, 2, 1 …
it is better that what GOP usually said: "it is all Carter's fault "
So….explain to me again why Dubya invaded Iraq?
Jesus told him this day would come, but Bushie had to get the ball rolling way back then in Iraq of all places. I don't get it either.
Poor sense of direction. My partner shares this affliction, albeit with only humorous consequences.
As the afflicted partner in my couple-dum here, I like this – from now on when my handler/hassler asks why I can't get my shit together and know where I am, I shall remind him of how fucking funny and non-lethal it is. I bet it makes him less frustrated (or maybe that'll just be me). Either way, Thanks FO!
WMD's and the hippies.
30 year LSD hangover. BTW LSD = Lone Star Draft.
It was the fault of Judith Miller — and, consequently, that damn liberal New York Times.
Because he could never remember which Korea is which.
Dubya said Saddam want to kill his Daddy,,,
Cause he took a wrong turn at Albuquerque?
He mistakenly believed OBL to be in Costelloabad
Because it was there.
Not for oil or daddy issues vendetta, no sirree bob!
Because Clinton got a blow job?
Conservative Press is blaming the long duration of the 10 year search for bin laden on the Unions.
i thought they blamed Planned Parrenthood
My president kicks ass.
The very best part about this is watching Fox's stilted, sullen, begrudging coverage.
They need more water on the set, because they're choking as they try to get the accolades out.
I watched it for as long as I could, but the sad attempt to slurp Dubya at a time like this disgusted me.
I'm pretty sure all the credit should go to Charles KKKrauthammmer or David Brooks…
Wait, this will run smack into the "weak and timid and 'over his head' " talking point.
Needz moar hatred!
*poorly suppressed snicker*
I think somebody's ass hurts.
I bet the market is on fire tomorrow.
i was going to say the exact damned thing.
It'll probably crash, because good news for a Dem president is bad news for teh moneez.
From the BBC – US dollar and shares climb on news of Bin Laden's death
What a fucked up world we live in. Wall Street'll bet on anything.
Gas better fucking start heading south too!
Oh, I'm pretty sure most of Islamabad.
I'd rather the traders themselves be on fire.
Hulk Hogan v. The Iron Sheik? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nI2-Y-8wxY
Hell, my prez is The Rock!
So, has FOX News started putting an "(R)" after Obama's name yet?
Obama bin Laden was as feisty as they intend to get tonight. Give it time…
Nah. They put a "D" after Bin Laden, though.
A couple of months ago actually.
No, just the whole "Obama Bin Laden" bullshit. It's also been happening on other networks, tonight. I just don't get it. I know it's just a letters difference, but it's a world apart. I've never made that slip of the tongue.
You would think that they would extra-double-super-proofread that tonight…
An infinite number of monkeys typing at an infinite number of
typewriterscomputers could produce the works ofShakespeareFaux Newz. Actually 'bout 3 might be closer.Had to read this twice!!
Bin Laden wasn't hiding out in Iraq, after all, so Dubya must be contrite…
The compound in which Osama was found was reputedly a $1 million estate that didn't have an Internet connection. Surprisingly, how one little thing could undo you…
Thank you Pope John Paul! You defeated Communism again with your mind!
finally got that miracle! or the polish kamikaze pilot finally succeeded!
That's beatific!
Criticism from the right for Obama killing bin Laden instead of capturing him so we could torture him in 3, 2, 1……
I said something along the same lines in the first thread.
But yeah, we know it is coming.
And if he'd been captured, the assholes would rail against the timid liberal mercy-muffin.
Mmmmm…muffins.
Somewhere, in a dark, dark, corner of the world Donald Trump and Sarah Palin are comforting each other.
Oh, screw you. I can never unsee that image. Pass the brain bleach, please…
And a sharpened spork.
So, who the hell are the GOP going to use to frighten the olds?
The impending danger of affordable health care?
One of Seth Meyers' best lines last night: "Stop using my tax dollars…to take care of me!"
Blacks, Hispanics, gays, socialists, Burmese pythons, …
Patagonian armadillos… those little bastards.
If you thought the old were afraid of the blacks, just wait until they get a gander at the lepers.
Robots. Always robots.
I am sure that Glenn Beck will be covering the up-coming Roomba revolution over the next few nights.
Funny, just yesterday my friend offered to give me her Roomba. Maybe I should say no…
The metal men will come for you.
Robots are everywhere, and they eat old people's medicine for fuel.
The idea of a black man in the White House. No need to change the plan just because bin Laden's dead.
"The negro in the White House is using the US MILITARY to kill his enemies!!!" Check. Mate.
Death Panels?
Oh, just everything else and the kitchen sink.
I'm sure tomorrow we'll be hearing plots about China training suicide bomber dolphins or some shit.
Sharks with lasers?
Yes, and dogs with bees in their mouths, and when they bark they shoot bees at you! Thank you The Simpsons.
"All of them"
"And, uh, can we maybe close Guantanamo and have our civil liberties back now?"
May I have some of what you're smoking?
Still have to take off your shoes and belt to get on an airplane. Have some respect…those TSA guys need their jerbs.
In a word: Never.
Yeah, I wish. A "freedom dividend" would be nice round about now.
The funniest thing to come out of this will be watching the Republican presidential candidates do a 180 on their support for continued military action in Afghanistan and start demanding that Obama bring the troops home.
Why aren't the troops home? Why does he hate America? Why is he keeping troops in harm's way? It's unconsciousnessanable.
-Sarah Palin
FromyourlipstoGod'sear.
That, and complain that it took too long, and that if we were only a little less concerned with nabmy-pamby political correctness, we could've *already* been out. $10 says this is Palin's actual line.
Michelle Bachmann: Where's the birf certificate?
What do you bet they held this till now to let our bestest allies hold their wedding and not steal the limelight like a tarty bridesmaid?
President Badass-007 is not only lethal, he has impeccable manners.
"President Badass-007." I like that. He should start wearing a tuxedo and sunglasses everywhere he goes.
How could he keep that cool at the dinner , cracking the jokes and knowing this was about to go down? He is the coolest cat of all time.
Having your enemy at gunpoint is very calming, almost cheering.
That guy always seems three moves ahead, or at least in hindsight I can almost see his game that far.
Jedi mind warrrior gots some force on his side.
And that is why I always keep the faith, MrLmeylizzie laughs off the haters and doubters by saying “He plays the long game, he is so far ahead of everyone else” .
That's why he always wears the dark suits, so we can't tell when he's pissing himself.
Fox Headline: Osama bin Laden (D-Saudi) Dead
Well played. Also, accurate.
I think you mean (D-WI)
I've never watched Beck's show or Fox "news" I may have to tune in tomorrow to watch their empty heads implode.
The correct spelling of that word in the Fox universe is "assplode." Hate to correct you, but sometimes it's just unavoidable.
Thanks for your "correction erection" and you know you are my heart. Sharing this moment with you makes my molars buzz. You rock!
Get a room, you two!
This won't phase Beck. Clearly, bin Laden had passed his usefulness to George Soros.
I'm also looking forward to what Rush says. He'll probably have to stay up all night thinking of ways to insult Obama and it might be hard since he probably drinks all weekend.
Hey! What's wrong with drinking all weekend?
In Rush's case, it's that whatever he's drinking isn't poison.
I actually watched Fox tonight, just to see how they were going to spin this one…
And? How'd it go?
Expect demands for the Death Certificate; the Long Form, not the short form.
Michele Bachman's statement consisted of the Jean-Luc Picard facepalm gif.
This is so awesome. Right wing heads are exploding everywhere! Makes that joke that Barry made at the WHCD about the stress of Donald firing Gary Busey particularly delicious.
I've been reading free republic (a filthy habit, I know). They're spinning so fast that you could attach them to a dynamo and power New York.
One of the nicer comments on theblze blog.
Damn these people are pissed and not in a good way.
"What a publicity crock of sh@te!
I was watching Donald Trumps “Apprentice” and seconds before he was going to announce who was fired they cut in for this special bulletin.
Like it couldn’t wait ONE more minute? It had to interrupt Donald Trumps show at the most critical point?
F’n RUBBISH!
I hate Obongo even more now after this political cr@p tactic."
Yes, it did have to interrupt Trumps show. The cake needed a little bit of frosting
12:31 AM — This is how badasses walk.
I am going to play and replay that until I climax.
“Some folks look at me and see a certain swagger, which in Texas is called "walking."” –George W. Bush
The gif works better when you play the theme from "Shaft" over it
I added this as the backing track http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nH62yywcECw
i.e., once.
Pat Tillman (among lots of other people) was shot in the back by friendly fire for this moment.
Somehow I just can't work up a lot of happy happy about all this.
It's not happy-happy. It's drunkenness combined with Schadenfreude.
But if anything could vindicate Tillman, this does. So there's that. Now how about a nice court-martial for Stan McChrystal?
I feel no joy over the death of Osama bin Laden, but I don't feel any sorrow, either.
The glee I'm feeling is over the absolute deliciousness of our superhero president giving the entire right wing a giant fucking mollywop.
Seriously, right wing. OBL was killed on a negro Democrat's watch. How do you like that?
Teach your children well.
With women leading the Departments of State and Homeland Security.
OH SNAP!
MONDAY OFF FOR JACK STUEF'S LATE WEEKEND WORK!!!
Seriously. this is a big fucking deal.
Might I say , this is a BIG FUCKING DEAL.
Osama, YOU'VE BEEN BIDENED!
I'm upfisting everyone tonight. So great.
Killing bin Laden is a fucking valuable thing, you just don't give it away for nothing
And one hell of an announcement it was: http://i.imgur.com/IDsF2.gif
OH GOD!! That's awesome.
Wait until Anniegetyerfun sees that video. We may all hear about it.
Not bad for Kenyan muslin, uh?
I'm sure the Romans were high-fiving each other and saying, "That ought a put a stop to this nonsense!" when they crucified JEEBUS!
Bin Liden Risen'??!?
They buried him at sea? Is another Pirates of the Caribbean movie in the works?
Head on a pike or STFU.
Osama sleeps with the fish.
Barak is an all american gansta bad ass
Well it took a democrat to not outsource this job.
Winning!
a rotting head is a little unsanitary for apple and starbucks, no?
Nothing four shots of espresso, 20 oz of corn-syrup and some new ipad apps can't help.

Friday, release long form birf certificate. Saturday, make fun of trump's hair. Sunday, have bin laden killed. Trifecta of win for barry.
$10 says he totally got laid tonight.
If I were Michelle right now, the sheer badassery of it all would be better than foreplay.
Best comment on big journalism:
"Doesn't change the fact that Obama is still a failure as POTUS. One Osama Bin Laden doesn't equal 14 trillion dollars of debt, 9 percent unemployment, or $4.00 and rising gas prices."
I don't normally troll or downfist, but what an anti-American douchebag. And the pansy bitch calls himself "war machine." Fucking tool.
I'm guessing the closest he's come to war is yelling at the ethnic store clerk how high the price of Cheetos has gotten.
booyaka!!
"war machine".
Pretty sure that is one of the mentally handicaps that has trolled here. Funny though how it took the Breitbart crowd less than 30 minutes to start their whining about the death of Osama bin Laden though.
Pressure point: lost. Still time to ask why we haven't killed Gaddafi yet.
…and then whine about how we opened the door for radical Islam if we do.
I'm in ur base killin ur d00dz
Obama delivered the news so classy, too. Imagine (and it will take a big leap of imagination, I know) if bin Laden had been killed when Dubya was president. Can't you just see the smirking and good ol' boy comments that would have been made by Dubya?
…while riding a tomohawk missile onto the deck of the USS Ronald Reagan.
Never forget :
BUSH 2002 on Bin Laden: "I am truly not that concerned about him."
CONSERVATARDS, READ THIS AND WEEP . THEN EAT SHIT.
Also in 2002
"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
Maybe the Breitards can try to organize another boycott since they seem so upset at the posters here enjoying the death of someone.
See how liberals celebrate the culture of death? It's quite sickening, really.
Did Mahatma Gandhi ever kill Osama bin Laden? Nope. Nobel Badass Prize 2012 in the works.
Sorry, that prize goes to Teddy R., now and forever
Yes, but Gandhi never denied raping and killing a girl.
Kama Sutra poontang?
Is there some way for Trump, Palin and Breitbart to claim credit for this?
I think the government will follow the traditional Muslim burial rites and bury him within 3 days. Other than that might start riots across the Mideast even though he hasn't many fans. Then the attacks will come from the right.
I bet the Saudis are revealed [relieved I mean. Good thing I bough Weller 107 yesterday]. He had to have known too much about the royal family.
24 hours, not three days. My guess is that they will be more flexible with this. But who will wash and bless the body? I'd be hard pressed to think of anyone that (1) would want to do it who (2) isn't already on the FBI's Most Wanted List.
I understand that George Bush has some experience with whisking members of the Bin Laden family out of the country on short notice.
I'm pretty sure they'll claim that the only reason Obama continued to hunt for bin Laden was because of their tireless and heroic efforts to shame him into it.
It is my understanding that Jon Stewart has booked them for exactly that purpose.
He had to promise not to speak, it is going to be absurdist theater.
I heard one asshole on CBS say this operation "started" under Bush.
I CALL BU$HSHIT!
Team America Marathon!
Fuck Yeah!
"Oh God, what do we do with this body?"
Mall tour across America! Think of the corporate sponsorship opportunities!
can you imagine being the special forces guy that pulled the trigger.
wow.
He was probably in middle school when that asshole attacked us. I want the entire team to split the reward money, too.
Future President? By all that is Holy, I hope not.
So what made Pakistan finally give this fucker up? I bet the money ran out
BofA finally called in the loan on Bin Laden's "million dollar mansion." This was just part of the eviction process.
Most likely, despite everything, the USA has deeper pocket than OBL.
You know Glenn Beck is huddled in a corner of a darkened room, sobbing uncontrollably right now, and his tears taste delicious. Beck paranoia raised to Defcon 5.
Oh, Beck already has an answer — the man is thorough above all else. I'm betting it's something like, "This is exactly what an antichrist would do — trick the people by an act that so unites them behind his cause and makes them feel he is righteous that more and more of the populace are blinded to his sinister plan."
The fun part is that that accurately describes Dubya standing on top of that pile of rubble several days after 9/11, whenever he finally managed to get his ass up to NYC.
Pakistan was letting Osama bin Laden know our movements.
Pakistan: "Ruh ro!"
No kidding. Those fuckers have some explaining to do.
No F-22's or M1A2 Abrams for you ! (for at least 2 months)
A MILLION DOLLAR MANSION.
Operation Foreclosure has been a huge success! What are we talking about again?
It was one of those tacky PacMansions.
Palin has tweeted:
"Thank you, American men and women in uniform. You are America's finest and we are all so proud. Thank you for fighting against terrorism."
No love for Barry? This is the woman who gave credit for President Obama's long form birth certificate release to Trump and she can't mention the POTUS in this, something much larger?
Stay classy republicans.
Palin can eat kracken balls. She is dirt now.
Apparently, dying for Bush's lies should be considered a lofty cause.
Palin just doesn't like niggers much.
Palin knows that as a Muslim, Obama only killed bin Laden so that he could absorb his power.
There can be only one!
She. Is. Such. A. Cunt.
Interviewed on WBBM-AM Chicago, Ill. Sen. Mark Kirk congratulated US soldiers, US intelligence, and "our Pakistani allies" but made no mention of Obama.
Christ, what an asshole.
I'm sure a notice has already gone around. That's what they got Rinse Preemie for.
I hate this flaming turd more than the fire that fails to consume it. I finally had to blacklist his emails after his last push-poll.
Should we go with the Republican budget that will save America and give each natural-born citizen a free unicorn foal, or the president's budget that will consume us all in molten magma and usher in a new epoch of Satan's rule on earth?
See you next Tuesday Palin?
oh, peter king is on. good will *record scratch*
flabastida Fernando Labastida
Rep. Peter King, Republican of New York, giving "full credit" to Pres. Obama for a successful operation on CNN.

Great. Now we can start the investigation into who really destroyed the World Trade Center. Not holding my breath.

# NEVER FORGET WHO LET 9-11 HAPPEN INTENTIONALLY!
"Oh, you guys are still up? Barack Obama isn’t. He’s sleeping. Like a badass baby."
Like hell he is! He's banging Michelle like a boss!
May they be knocked up by tomorrow morning. More Obamas! As long as there is no Planned Parenthood in Washington DC, near the black peoples, that is.
How great would that be? A new Baby Obama and the killing of Osama would mke his poll numbers very, very good!
this is the greatest day in years. Feelsgoodman. Now if some Iraqi SEALS kill bush in his mansion everything will be totally cool.
Slowly…
My vote is for a death caused by every Iraqi orphan giving him a papercut
I like it!
Some of my wingnut friends are reporting that bin Laden's body will be "treated in accordance with Islamic law." I can find no proof that anyone has suggested this, but it's a great way to freak Sharon Angle the fuck out.
OK, found it. But seriously, who would say the blessing?
Maybe they'll just say grace.
Burial at sea is not exactly according to Islamic Law.
Bin Laden arrives in hell and finds out that his promised virgins are all hairy dudes. Sucks to be you!
Hitler and Bin Laden both die on May 1st. Hopefully, their anniversary cake in hell is a Fudgey the Whale Caravel ice cream cake.
I'm trying to come up with a funny rejoinder but got stuck. It's the Old Weller.
Made of pork.
Hmmm. It's hell, so maybe the anniversary will be eternity by the ball pool in Chuck-E-Cheese listening to squealing children whilst waiting for a sausage pizza.
OMG. That IS hell, and I've been there…. the horror.
With bacon bits and matsoh sprinkles!
Brought to their table by Dina Lohan.
Not that it is unexpected but these Fox assholes really do hate anyone who isn't just like them. And you can tell they know the "Bush did it" crap just isn't going over.
also: i made a joke about barry's bad dad pants earlier this week.
like donald trump, i was pwnd.
The Breitfarts are desperately clicking thumbs-down and sobbing like little bitches right now. "YOU GUYS AREN'T CLICKING FAST ENOUGH HURRY UP *BOO HOO* OH GOD , I HATE MY LIFE!! *CLICK* *CLICK* *CLICK* "
So here is a pure i love and so proud of our country moment. AMERICA FUCK YEAH!!! We now return to our normal programming of unadulterated snark
BBC reports Pakistan was not told of the operation until after it was over with. Which is probably why it succeeded.
OK. So can we now blow off the remaining al Qaeda gang (estimated to be 100 recently), the hell with the Taliban, and just get the fuck out of Afghanistan & Pakistan??
Yesh, get the fuck out. We have no business there.
Wouldn't that be nice? I mean, I'm not counting on it, but it would be so nice to have my friends home again…
BBC is also reporting no response from the Pakistani government, either from Zardari or from anyone else. The ISI must be going *insane* right about now, regardless of their involvement, which might not be so minimal.
(Keep in mind, of course, that the Indian press loves to make a game out of chasing after Pakistani shadows) http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/Bin-L…
Real spontaneous patriotism is so much better than the artificial, republican stage crafted made for TV kind.
No word from the mayor of 9/11? Where's Rudy?
I'm drunker than Cooter Brown right now, so forgive me. How many times during the Bush administration did people in DC, or anywhere else, ever gather at the White House at midnight, or anywhere else to cheer anything the POTUS ever did? Just curious….
Best thought of the night, babe. Bottoms up!
Back at 'cha! Cheers!
i know me too and i was thinking we were like egypt and libya and tunisia.
only then i remembered we KILLED somebody which is not necessarily the same thing.
still!!
Barb, I love ya and I'm as drunk as, well, me, but there was a time when people gathered outside the White House and cheered during the Bush admin.
When he was deposed by Oninja.
I love you more and I am drunker. I'm going to have a few more drinks and then drunk dial you. "I love you!" "You made something of yourself, like Obama" "I hate that cunt, Palin" "I hate Bobby Flay" "Who was fired on The Celebrity Apprentice tonight?" "I gotta go, Domino's is here"
You hate Bobby Flay too??? Swoon
You are wise to hate Bobby Flay, my step-daughter-who is only 10 years younger than I am-is a food-stylist on one of his shows and he is "difficult".
Wot? You don't remember the "Mission Accomplished" Codpiece Cotillion? It was estimated at 200,000 or more, and spread from the White House to the Lincoln Memorial, lasting weeks.
Never forget.
Babs, you've got that "wise drunk" persona down pat.
Your post makes me wish I was still a drinking man, Barb. Makes me wish I was young again since I have no fucking idea who Bobby Flay is, also, too.
Wow. Just wow. What a great moment for the US. Obama's speech was the definition of class. I am glad that this chapter is over.
Now, can I haz a job, please?
No, you may not. You'll have to wait for a Republican president to trickle down upon you.
Didn't you just move here to Texas for a job? What IS IT with people like you?
That was a consulting gig, Chas. I finished my projects about a month ago and moved back home. I would like to say that I love TX, except for the heat and the humidity.
I spent several months in San Antonio. I already miss the River Walk and TX BBQ.
Sorry to lose you. Texas is a foreign country and needs the help of visitors. It's been hot in Austin and since I always sweat like a whore in church I've been dreaming of Portland or someplace up northwest way.
CANADA????!?!?!?!
Wha? I was watching 13 Assassins. Just got outta the movie theater and apparently I missed the whole damn thing.
Hey, somebody from the Pentagon call the FBI with a tip: http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/wanted_terrorists
"Bin Laden is left-handed and walks with a cane"
Or not.
Sara Benincasa's gonna have one hell of a column this Friday…
If she ever gets her hands out of her pants.
— House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH): "This is great news for the security of the American people and a victory in our continued fight against al-Qaida and radical extremism around the world, ,,, "I want to congratulate — and thank — the hard-working men and women of our Armed Forces and intelligence community for their tireless efforts and perseverance that led to this success. I also want to commend President Obama and his team, as well as President Bush, for all of their efforts to bring Osama bin Laden to justice."
Eric Cantor was very similar
Tonight, we've learned that justice has been done. The man with the blood of more than 3,000 Americans on his hands, the man who forced us to begin to think the unthinkable – is now dead.
Families who lost loved ones at the hands of Bin Laden and his terrorist organization have grieved for far too long and this sends a signal that America will not tolerate terrorism in any form. The men and women of our armed forces and intelligence community have fought valiantly for the last decade and this is a major victory and testament to their dedication. I commend President Obama who has followed the vigilance of President Bush in bringing Bin Laden to justice.
Shorter:
"he man with the blood of more than 3,000 Americans on his hands … .President Bush"
Also thank you Newt Gingrich because…why not?
What, no one's thanked Reagan yet?
YET.
Michele Bachmann will thank our "founding fathers", and then "the constitution", and then lapse into another catatonic staring fit.
Proving once again that sour grapes are, indeed bitter.
My favorite teabaggy website is carrying a dignified statement from President…Bush:
http://www.thecypresstimes.com
Hey fellaz? Your guy didn't get that guy. Our guy got that guy. I mean, it's nice Bush approves and all, but it's a little like Hoover taking credit for the New Deal, know what I mean?
AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!
The gulf between Obama's announcement tonite and fucknutz Bush getting his photo op on an aircraft carrier is too immense for human speech to describe.
My Pet Goat also too.
Copy that, Donner. Well said.
i am so very glad my old gay supermodel cat – who's being having issues of late – outlived bin laden.
An upfist for you and I wish I had another for your cat.
I'm holding out for the long form death certificate.
I am amazed it took this many posts to put up my idea. Beaten again! (holds head in hands, whimpers)
You know what's weird? 90% of my Facebook friends are, like, HOLY SHIT OMFG THIS IS INSANE WOW and then there are the 10% who are posting photos of their cats watching TV.
My aunt has one better: a photo of her cat watching the Obama speech.
Mind. BLOWN.
I was sincerely hoping Mr. Obama would tell us all to take Monday off to celebrate because there's no fucking way I want to go to work tomorrow.
I agree, but to be fair I didn't want to go to work last week either.
Hey Steverino, whenever you mention your son who was wounded , I am always just brought to tears so I hope your family can celebrate and scream in the streets .
hey! can we put the bin laden's body on ebay to pay off the fiscal debt?
Blessings for that, sir.
Or madam, I believe.
A+++++++++++++++++++ – body bullet riddled as described. Delivered by military jet. Would purchase from again
You'd think I would at least drag my cursor over an avatar before posting, right? It's my age AND bourbon.
Not surprised about Pakistan's role in all of this. They needed Bin Laden as a boogeyman even more than the Bush administration did. Musharref in particular needed to keep Bin Laden alive in the worst way. Every Pakistani administration since has needed the threat of Bin Laden to claim legitimacy.
Well, you can bet at least one Paki National has enough money this morning to fund one Helluva Political Campaign for regime change.
Greta Van Susteren on a personal mission right now to start the case for war against Pakistan.
Does this mean we can finally stop killing the "Number 3 leader" of al Qaeda"?
Yes. Because they'll be promoted to number 2 now.
"I am Number Two."
"Who is Number One?"
"You are Number Six."
"I am not a number! I am a free man!"

Great comment there:
Reviews: I really like this neighborhood till it got shot the hell up.
Yeah, the commenters are having a field day –

Fuck HTML, I give up
Damn. How long did that take? Three hours from rumor to pinpointing?
I love the internet.
Thanks for the great links (all the time).
If you can back that map off a bit more, you see how conveniently close the mansion was to the Attaboy-bad Golf Club. I wonder what Bin Laden's handicap was?
And to quote the Beeb: "The Abbottabad residence is just 700m (800 yards) from the Pakistan Military Academy – the country's equivalent of West Point."
Ouch. Good work, Pakistan…
The whole damn area next door is military / semi-military residences. The "Cantt" in the police station is for "cantonment", as in "this is where we keep the men with guns". His men probably got his insulin from the same drugstore as half the troops in the city.
(Yes, yes, I'm sure he had housecalls, but just roll with the metaphor)
Well, that settles it, we have to punish Pakistan the only way we know will actually work: "I was glad that India won the Cricket World Cup". BOOM!
W's reaction.
That pic is actually W discussing Pickle's pooper with Turd Blossom.
God i hope his first victory lap interview is on Fox. It'll be so beautiful to see them kiss his ass and ask for seconds.
Wat, war is it good for for, say it again, good Gawd!
Boned…in the USA, I was.
For conservaturds who are angry. If you're lucky, maybe the GOP house can shit on more 9/11 first responders . Maybe that'll make you happy, you anti-American assholes.
So this guy Obama is as cold-blooded as Michael Corleone, running around rolling eggs on the White House lawn, telling black-tie jokes, scolding people about his goddamned birth certificate, and all the while keeping a 100% lockdown on this Smoke Bin-Laden Operation for MONTHS. Looks like the way he handled the Somali pirates was just a little foretaste. And in conclusion, BARRY! BARRY! BARRY!
And I love what some of the wacky sites have headlined.

This notion is absurd and should be dismissed by all.
He is a cool cat , that's for sure.
I JUST KNEW that skinny nigger had a razor in his shoe. I just fucking LOVE IT!
And now that place he was living in is in fire!

I say we let Pakistan pay the insurance bill.
We don't need no water, let the motherfucker burn
Burn, motherfucker, burn.
How does cement block catch on fire?
Jews did 5/1!!!!!!
Blow up a helicopter, this is probably whatcha get.
One thing's for sure: the soldier who put the bullet between Osama's eyes is getting some primo no-homo head in the showers tonight.
Unless the soldier is openly gay which – while unlikely – would be poetic justice.
That would be SO awesome.
If it were a Canadian Operation, I might agree with you, otherwise, no.
Got a rotting terrorist corpse to display? There's an app for that.
Uh oh. Somehow Jack Bauer's going to end up getting taken prisoner by the Chinese because of all this.
Thank you, Dead President Reagan!
I know revenge is a dish best served cold, but this is overripe. I don't feel anything at all. But I am sure our President is as happy as a dog with two dicks.
Today we are all half-white.
There are reports that there are celebrations in Dearborn, Michigan, right now.
EDIT: Yep!
BUT! But! But! But! But!
It will be fascinating to see how the Islamophobes spin that.
Oh, wait, I meant nauseating.
Terry Jones was here just last week complaining about Sharia Law. Eat it, Terry. Eat it and choke on your provocations.
Damn. That's the cherry on the cake. Amazing.
Fuck you, sharia-scaremongering teabaggers.
Trump presidential odds now negative infinity with British bookmakers.
I hope to fuck Michelle let Barry enjoy a celebratory Kool out on the West Lawn, or whatever lawn, tonight.
Not for the faint of heart, and a huge image, but here's an alleged image of OBL having been shot through the head a couple of times.Never mind, it was an old fake.
I assume the conspirasists will insist it's not actually UBL.
It was originally from 2010. It's some poor shot schlub who looks like OBL.
I found it on free republic. What can I say? You launch yourself into the pigpen, you'll probably pick up some shit on the way.
Fucker hasn't aged a day, unlike me.
"We MUST bring lots of politics into this, quickly!"
Some of y'all have really succeeded at this. Not the greatest round of Wonkette comments tonight.
You may begin downfisting if you must.
It's a pre-emptive strike on Breitardistan.
I'm gonna upfist you.
Rejoicing in death isn't really the done thing, but I, as well as a lot of other people, I think, have a nasty feeling of joy knowing that this evil shit is dead.
The politics? Well, this place is what it is. Politically aware people with a liberal bent. It's not going to be any other way.
Yeah it's disgraceful that the Democrats should be using bin Laden for political advantage. Why, after the Republicans used 9/11 to pass the patriot act and FISA evisceration and national security letters and detaining people outside the purview of any law for no reason whatsoever in the name of protection from terrorists, that the motherfucker who actually did something about the goddamn terrorist in question would have supporters long-suffering under the shadow of hating America for some goddamn fucking reason, who would want to gloat about the biggest fucking accomplishment among the zillions of cans of worms opened by that odious fuckwit Dubya but never dealt with.
I forget — did you have a fucking question?
Reality-1, Selfish-0.
Hey, I agree with you. But I found it weird that one hour after the news broke some people seemed a lot more pleased about how this could somehow be bad for Republicans than the fact that we finally got bin Laden. And that seemed very Breitbart-ish to me.
As the red-faced, ridiculous, sputtering takes from the far right continue to come out, I wholeheartedly support making fun of them, as well as any semi-applicable poop/dick jokes.
*anxious yet hopeful*
And fart jokes, too, right?
Fuck you, asshole. We are celebrating with our friends. I know that is a difficult concept for you. Go suck some hairy Breitbart balls whilst we continue our partay.
You got it, buddy. I was definitely saying "don't celebrate". Or maybe I was wondering why some people were all "HA HA YOU LOST REPUGLITURDS" instead of celebrating.
Yeah, how dare we bring politics into a political site?
Hell in a handbasket, I tells ya.
So CNN is saying that they buried OBL at sea. How long until the wingnuts start claiming that it never happened at a…aw, crap.
what do we call fools who want proof UBL is dead? Deathers? doesn't have a great ring to it imo.
No doubt saved enough for I.D. Hopefully his fucking head, on a pike, with his dick in it.
DNA? Fingerprints? Dental records?
We've all seen that episode of "the Sopranos", right?
Absolutely!
I go there at http://www.gurukalehuru.com
CNN:
A U.S. official told CNN that bin Laden was buried at sea. The official said his body was handled in the Islamic tradition, but did not elaborate.
Wait, so they wrapped him an in an old Afghan and dumped his dirty ass into the Arabian Sea, right? Good.
Actually, I'd much prefer he be dropped in a volcano to prevent a Zombie OBL, but this work, too, if the sharks get to him.
Reuters wins a point for this phrase:
Trumping the Opposition
'Snap" analysis! It's all the Great Game!
Bin Laden, done. Next on the list, Koch brothers, Rupert Murdoch.
You know, if society ever descends to the point where "Running Man" gets on TV, I'd throw $5 at a PPV of the Koch brothers being contestants.
It's going to be fun waking up Monday morning and listening to the teabaggy racists struggle to sympathize with a pathological religious nut who advocated killing innocents to sustain his provincial way of life…actually, no, that is pretty much what they always do and I can't stand listening to it.
Buried at sea?!! Damn it. Someone find out which sea, so that I can pee into it.
Fox News, assholes to the bitter end, actually ran a chyron during Geraldo Rivera's reportage earlier this evening: "Obama Bin Laden slain."
Keep fucking that chicken, Fox "News."
Ah. We're there. The world's greatest journalist has chimed in on the issue.
that isn't skoal rebel!
Happily, none of this fools the sharp thinkers at Alex Jones's site. They are quite certain that this, following on the heels of the fake long-form birf certificate, is part of a massive disinformation blitz to distract us from the REAL story, although they have not quite reached consensus on what the real story is.
Also, several commenters note the uncanny similarity between the names "Osama" and "Obama," and seem genuinely surprised that the two names are only one letter apart..
These are the incurable cases of stupidity that will make a grown man cry.
Buried at sea? Buried at sea? Sounds like a whole lot of bullshit to me. That's going to be the topic of my blog, in about 45 minutes at http://www.gurukalehuru.com
Seriously, this only happened yesterday night and no details are available. You can't possibly have any solid arguments that suggest that the Osama killing was "bullshit". All you can do is reveal yourself to be innately biased against the administration.
If I were Obama, I would deliberately withhold images of the dead Bin Laden. This will cause the idiot right-wing base to go apeshit with conspiracy theories. Then I would release the photos at a politically advantageous opportunity just to smack down the birther crowd one more time.
My President is one bad ass muther….
Shut yo' mouth!
Pakistan got some splainin to do.
Pakistan got some serious 'splainin to do. The hideout hacienda was ~ 1000 yards from their Army's elite officer training camp.
I am not someone who ever wished anyone dead, well, apart from Sarah Palin, but as a New Yorker I am delighted. That day , 10 years ago, was the day I felt that I really became a New Yorker, I had been living here for about 18 months and had just been cast in my first Broadway show, we started rehearsals 5 days earlier and I was so full of love for this city. To wake up to that horror was just mind-numbing, I will never forget going to the local bodega and the Yemenis that owned it were crying and so was I and they held my hands and we all stood in the middle of the shop and sobbed together. I will never forget taking all the flowers that we received for our opening night and , together with the whole cast, putting them outside the fire station in Times Square. I will never forget the night that we performed for firemen , police and other first responders it was awesome, in the proper meaning of that word. So, this morning I am remembering all those moments and crying like a baby and this morning I am happy that someone is dead and I just love Obama.
I know what you mean. I don't think one should ever get using to celebrating murder simply because of who the victim was, but I do not at all begrudge anyone for celebrating what a murder of someone that has menaced the world and murdered scores of people, himself, means to he victims of these attacks. If we'd have caught him alive, well, for me, that'd have been different. But, he was killed fair and square after apparently being given the chance to surrender if reports are accurate, and I will not lose any sleep over this.
This part of the nightmare is finally over. I keep saying it, but no one can take his place, thank god. His underlings will be with us for a while longer, and they may get a few more hits in, but the cult of Bin Laden won't ever be the same again. He was already a martyr to them; to make it official won't change that much.
Hopefully, this coupled with the Arab spring will bring change faster than we ever could have hoped for even a year ago. Bush over-reaction to Bin Laden can never be corrected and never be justified, but hopefully, we're finally to a point where we can split the difference and where we can all learn from our mistakes.
I'm hopeful; for my sanity, it's the only thing I can be.
Hopeful is always a wonderful feeling, so hopeful I will be as well.
Meanwhile, Fox snewz is doing all they can to give all credit to "the previous administration". Who would have thunk it?
Morning Joe is trying as hard as it can to not give Obama too much credit. It's really kind of sad, but I could have expected that.
Pinochet, Sadaam Hussein, Noriega, Bin Laden. Hmmmm. What do these men have in common? Would there possibly be a lesson here somewhere? No, of course not; NUMBER ONE, NUMBER ONE!!!!!!
I would not normally link to Slate, but this is a great column.
http://www.slate.com/id/2292673/?from=rss
Barry Obama is so fucking astonishing, what a fucking stone cold temperament.
the dipshit SMU students surrounding Bush's house cheering & waving signs saying "Thank You President Bush" really says it all about our idiocracy….
Let's put this into proper context. This is probably one of the only universities Bush can still go to, unplanned, and not get the hell booed off of campus. This doesn't say much about our idiocracy, maybe not even that much about Texas, but maybe a bit about Dallas. lol
actually from what I see early this morning the Repubs are starting to chant in unison "thank you Bush!" They forget his March 2002 abandonment of the bin Laden manhunt ("bin Laden is not important, he's marginalized, frankly I'm not concerned about him").
It it makes you feel any better, he was undoubtedly passed out or hung over and missed the whole thing.
BTW, there is much talk of 9/11 in all of this, but I also don't want Americans to forget the hundreds of people killed between Kenya, Tanzania and the U.S.S. Cole bombing. So, so, so much death this man ordered and rendered upon this globe specifically targeting innocents. He left his finger print from Washington to Dar es Salaam, fron New York to Nairobi, and everywhere in between.
Who is the new number one?
Probably Zawahiri, the funny-looking pediatrician that's been OBL right-hand man for quite a few years now. Hopefully, we'll find his ass, too, because we know more than we knew about Bin Laden that he's in Pakistan.
"You are number six."
(I hope that's the 'The Prisoner' reference you were waiting for)
Probably the person in the hierarchy to be determined after they discover who #2 works for.
This is what happens when your pee gets to -1000. America will kill you.
So that's what pee points are for. It's all starting to make sense. Yes, yes…
Where's the death certificate?
Long form!
Breitbart's newest property, BigDeath.com
They are being just vile on Breitbart, of course I was being pretty vile as well, but this is a response to my calling them unpatriotic.
Serve your own master ya' citruslizardslut. If you are looking for consensus, head for Code Pink or Huffington or places where spineless anti-American degenerates flourish. There is nothing you can say or do that will persuade anyone that Obama is other than what he is, a narcissistic socialist with an agenda that conflicts with American values. And, as to you, on a personal level, put a burqa over your face and find some lara logan stalkerrelieve your frustration. If you had an iota of curiousity then maybe your pedantly liberalmind might wonder why there was such an urgency to dispose of the body of one of the most vile muslims in history. Wash your feet and be fruitful with yourself.
Their great-grandparents may have painted watercolors at lynchings, but their children will murder them in their sleep.
Mmmm. Sounds rather restrained for that lot. Open an Old Peculiar and just tell them to sod off.
"citruslizardslut"
Although I will say that this sounds springlike and refreshing.
Great. Now the Old Guard will need to manufacture a new boogieman that causes the Redstaters to wet their beds.
All your base are belong to us!
Clue: Taking flight lessons without learning to take off or land.
Clue: Building a million dollar mansion without phone or Internet.
Subtle
When are the deathers going to start asking for that certificate?
I was watching the Brian Williams' coverage last night and had to turn it off when he went to his third Republican "guest" in a row and was essentially bemoaning the sad fact that poor Dubya didn't get to announce Bin Laden's death on his watch.
He gave up on "getting" Bin Laden, Brian. Remember? No, of course you don't.
You just know that after President Cool B. Badass walked off camera he was dancing and pointing to his schlong. "YOU can suck it and YOU can suck it and YOU, Hairball Head can suck it and kiss my fine, black ass!
Badda bing. Too soon?
No. When Barry said he was hiding in a mansion in "a badda bing," I was even more outraged that it included a strip club!
I won't believe it until I see the death certificate. Long form.
Probably no surprise, but in Texas they are thanking Bush for this. Because he was the one who was directing the effort the past three years.
This is almost entirely being credited to "Obama continuing the policies of Bush, over the protestations of the far left". They, in their haste to polish the turd have completely forgotten about Bush's 2002 statements calling Osama irrelevant. Can Obamar get a fucking ounce of credit here? Jesus Christ.
It's because Lou Sarah can see the
caves of Tora Borasuburbs of Islamabad from her porch. Oh, sorry freakishly, you meant the other bush."Can Obamar get a fucking ounce of credit here?"
No. No, he cannot.
Well, seems to me that if they buried him on land and the burial site became a shrine, it would be the perfect place to orbit a drone with a shit-ton of Hellfires on board.
Has anyone asked how this affects Sarah Palin?
I reckon they would have done this last week, but they didn't want to take away the spotlight from the royal wedding.
This smirking asshat, calling Osama irrelevant in 2002…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PGmnz5Ow-o&
OK Obama killed Bin Laden. But Trump fired Gary Busey. So it's basically a draw, right?
Yes, it's true. Obama has an inspirational sign on his desk that says:
DO WHAT THAT WHITE IDIOT COULDN'T DO.
Speak complete sentences in intelligible English?
Hey, no worries. I've accepted my -28 points and moved on.
