Considering the Obama administration has made it clear they have not and will not release any photos of Osama bin Laden’s corpse, most people would realize the fakes floating around the Internet, which are not even Photoshopped all that well, are not real. Republican Senators Saxby Chambliss, Kelly Ayotte, and Scott Brown, however, saw these on somebody’s LiveJournal or whatever and decided they had been privileged with seeing classified photos. “The head area, obviously, he had been wounded. I can’t describe it –- give any better description than that,” Ayotte said, pretending she was important enough to be given access to the bin Laden pixx but wasn’t really allowed to discuss them. These senators apparently forgot the Internet is not just available to them.
Senator Saxby Chambliss, R-Georgia, the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, told CNN and other news organizations Wednesday morning he had seen photos. He described them as “what you would expect from somebody who’s been shot in the head. It’s not pretty.” [...]
Late Wednesday afternoon, Chambliss admitted to reporters a photo he had described earlier in the day was not an “official photo,” but rather a picture he was shown on an electronic device, and he does not know if it was authentic.
“I have been privileged with joining an exclusive club for senators that gives me access to buy one huge coupon a day at local businesses,” Chambliss continued. “But I’m not at liberty to describe it any further.”
Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-New Hampshire, a freshman Republican on the Armed Services Committee also told reporters Wednesday morning she saw a photo of bin Laden, shown to her by another senator on her committee.
“I was also shown a classified video of a child who was acting strangely after going to the dentist. And I really can’t say any more than that.”
When asked if the photo should be released, Brown said: “If it’s for informational purposes, to serve a specific goal, then possibly. Listen, I’ve seen the picture. He’s definitely dead, and if there’s any conspiracy theories out there, you should put them to rest, ok?”
Seriously, how the fuck do these people think the photos haven’t been released if they SAW THEM ON THE INTERNET? Pretty soon, one bad meme is going to confuse our members of Congress into appropriating $500 billion to Rick Astley. [CNN/WFXT]

Now you've spoiled it. What will they use for masturbation purposes now?
There's always the Chippendale's Calendar.
Senator Saxby Chambliss, R-Georgia, the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee
Holy Oxymoron, Batman!
~
Yep, especially the "moron" part.
"Chambliss also remarked that the recent photos of Elvis Presley he has seen show that the reclusive King of Rock n' Roll is in fine shape for a man his age, having lost considerable weight, though admittedly quite a bit of his hair as well."
In that case, Georgia ought just to have sent Jerry Glanville to Washington.
It's good to know that our elected representatives know what a second amendment solution looks like.
Just because this contained a reference to Saxby Chambliss, I have to remark that he is an evil, lying asshole. Thank you.
Repubs dumb; this is news?!
This wouldn't be the first time Republican senators were found to believe in something that doesn't exist in reality.
The Laffer curve?
Tax cuts = increased government revenue?
Terry Schiavo was just resting.
After a prolonged squawk.
GWB was a great Preznit.
All of the above.
It makes up for all the things they don't believe in that do really exist, like global warming, evolution, and the president's citizenship.
But Bat Boy is real, right? Right?
I've seen the sex tape and he is not only real, he is magnificent.
Many things flow through the "series of tubes." Including shit.
Silly senator, that's not a web site, it's a colostomy bag!
There's something not quite right about the font on Scott Brown's dick tattoo.
Yeah, the kerning is completely off, and the font wasn't even invented at the time of his birth…
So you're saying he's…
Sans serif.
And to think, Scott Brown is probably the sanest and smartest Republican in the Senate; but then that's like being the tallest Munchkin in Oz.
I think both the Senators from Maine have him beat. Think about that though. Maine, despite it's lovely scenery, can best be described as Deliverance with lobsters and THEY have the sanest and smartest Republican senators.
I've seen the pic, it's very grim
I've thoroughly examined him
and he's not only merely dead
he's really most sincerely dead.
"Clicking on the image led me to a disturbing Rick Astley video, about which I will say nothing further."
These people are as thick as their constituents – who will also believe <anything>.
A poorly informed Republican base being necessary to the security of media profits, the right of the People to keep and bear blingee, photoshops and LOLcatz shall not be infringed.
Yet another egregious oversight by the Founding Fathers.
They probably believe that cat actually asked for a cheeseburger.
And plays the piano.
& he needs to get paid.
Only if he is not the union member.
And wasn't owned by Schrodinger.
Maybe…
Show them noted Internet photo goatse. I'm sure Saxby would be able to parse that one out for us, too.
"…was not an “official photo,” but rather a picture he was shown on an electronic device…"
I too am skeptical of photos that are shown to me… ON A TOASTER.
Maroons!
New Headline: Bin Laden Face Appears on Toast
No reason he couldn't. I've got one of these things and it works pretty well.
Someone needs to tell Saxby it's ok to us his electronic deeevice when he goes swimmin' in the cement pond.
This photo controversy is just distracting the senators from their important investigation into why cats have such poor grammar and spelling skills as evidenced on many typewritten photographic communications found on the Internet.
They're also starting an investigation to find out just who all our base are belong to, and one into the Leeroy Jenkins massacre.
Unfortunately, the Senate does not work on Caturday.
And changing the official motto to "In Ceiling Cat We Trust."
Actually, Saxby, the photos were 'what you would expect from somebody who’s been shopped in the head'. Get it right next time, fucking ignoramus.
ironically, no one is looking for "layers" when they see what they want to see.
Behold! The stupidest thing ever done by a republican, at least until the next stupidest thing ever done by a republican is done by a republican, which will be at most a couple of days if history is any judge.
Couple of days? I would wager a couple of hours!
Read the latest post on top about the Virginia Attorney General. Mission Accomplished.
Beat me to it.
Stupid is the meme of the day. I first thought, How could they be so stupid? And why do these stupid things happen to Republics? Then I chastised myself for asking such a stupid question. They're stupid in the first place. That's why they're Republics.
Ed note: When they say the DemocratIC Party correctly, I'll let them have their an back.
Has Sarah Palin tweeted yet today?
I'm waiting on a GOPher to make a statement about Mariah Carey, naming her newborn son "Moroccan Cannon" Then she can't go to any ToyRUs within a 100 mile radius of the World Trade Center site.
I thought all the toy-stores on the Mid-Atlantic corridor were FAO Schwarz, anyway.
Okay, let's change the joke I made for accuracy:
I'm waiting on a GOPher to make a statement about Mariah Carey, naming her newborn son "Moroccan Cannon" Then she can't go to any FAO Scwarz within a 100 mile radius of the World Trade Center site.
So much better!
If I dropped out of Mariah Carey's vagina, and got named the Moroccan Cannon… well, uhh, I'd have an interesting day at school.
Please tell me you're joking about this.
Mariah Carey and her husband, Nick Cannon had twins on Saturday, Moroccan and Monroe (boy and girl)
Bob Ney, Mr Freedom Fries, was actually dumb enough to get caught taking bribes and was a Republican-in-jail, for a while. Wikipedia says he now has a radio talk show and a blog.
Scott Brown isn't very smart. He also needs to trim his pits a little.
I wasn't looking there.
Can these three be demoted to the "Freedom Fries" Committee for being such idiots? Isn't Chambilss the guy who compared Bin Laden to Max Cleeland to initially get elected? What an asshole! Georgia, you get the Government you deserve.
He also questioned the patriotism of a man that lost three limbs in a war.
if viewing the pictures results in orgasm, does it really matter if they were real?
This photograph is property of the NFL, any retelecast or descriptions of this photograph without express written consent of the NFL is violation of copyright law.
What if we have express oral consent?
OBL's brain damage was a gift from the People of America. The Repugs brain damage is simply the result of lard fried Snickers bars and do it yourself home surgery kits.
Ok, maybe the noobs get a pass… but Chambliss? Puh-leeze. That dude needs to toughen up his brain.
Between the lack of limbs of the Senator that Ol' Sax smeared & the lack of a brain on Sax, we'd have an Invisible Man.
You assume he has a brain.
It is pickled in Branch Water and Jim Beam.
Scott Brown is also calling for a Congressional investigation into how many of those Asian chicks are really just Hispanic chicks in heavy makeup.
Don't worry Scott — most of them aren't chicks.
Saxby talk Thai long time.
Filipinos?
If these idiots would spend a little time looking at real dead and gory bodies, they wouldn't have bought that picture for a minute, but of course, their junkets to Iraq and Afghanistan would never include that part of the tour.
WOW the internet has photographs of Osama dead? I thought the internet only had porn and Wonkette. Whoda thunk?
e*bay, also.
Meg Whitman — Never Forget.
It's amazing what you can accomplish with the evolution of a planet-wide organ connecting millions of minds at the same time, innit?
Death porn
The same group literally passed out cold when shown the Demon Blingee of Nancy Pelosi.
“The head area, obviously, he had been wounded. I can’t describe it."
"I especially can't describe why it was all… like… Blingy!"
"My comments were not intended to be factual……"
That's why God made him pretty.
Me thinks both…
"but rather a picture he was shown on an electronic device"
I didn't know there was a line of vibrators that had that capability.
the iVibe.
The i/oVibepad – Designed by Apple in California, Assembled in China, Sold to iDiots…
A vibrator?
It's like they got all excited over their war porn and discovered they were actually wanking to a tranny.
Senator John McCain (R-Geezerville) commented on the photos of Osama Bin Laden that were shown to him.
"It revealed the horrors of combat. He looked like a bunny with a pancake on his head."
True. We Massholes only vote for Republicans as a protest – or a Dadaesque artistic statement.
And here I thought it was an ironic gesture. Clears that up for me.
One person's ironic gesture is another's Dadaesque artistic statement. Tomato / tomahto. It's a matter of pretension.
I was actually thinking of physical thickness
No wonder Republicans are so fearful–everything on the internet is true!
The Shame:
Senate and Wonkette scooped by Weekly World News: Chuck Norris Killed Osama Bin Laden.
http://weeklyworldnews.com/headlines/32584/osama-...
As a resident of Georgia, I can say without hesitation that Saxby Chambliss is a fucking idiot.
And a drunk.
As a resident of California, but a reader of what passes for the news, I can say without hesitation that he is a knowingly evil, lying asshole.
It's also an established fact that when the second tower was hit by the plane the image of Bin Laden/Satan appears in the cloud. It's on the internetz!!!111!!!11
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tourist_guy.jpg
Judging from the photo, Scotty's got some twinkle-toes, so Obama "pussyfooting around" (per Lou) should not be that big a deal.
When are you people going to assign the blame where it really belongs, ie. the internet…
I thought it was video games and/or the dissolution of the nuclear family.
I have to wait until 2012 to conclude my Mass Effect saga.
Dammit.
yes, we barely trust these RepugliKKKan dipshits with fake photos that a billion people have seen on the Intertubes!
In their defense, they did check with Ted Stevens before using the Internet.
To be fair, traversing through an IEnumerable<Tubes> collection might take some time, especially as complexity increases.
Needz moar quantum 'puter.
What, did they use a Ouija board? Or get defrauded by that douchebag John Edwards (the other one)?
Etch-a-sketch?!
Kelly Ayotte next demanded to know who she has to talk to in order to get one of the Princess Beatrice hats everyone in the Situation Room got to wear.
They were shown these images from the inside of a windowless van parked near the Capitol? Did anyone try to touch them?
Now about that Laffer Curve nonsense…
WAIT ONE MINUTE!!! Other people are getting coupons sent to them via the internet too?????????!!!!!! I thought it was just me.
Is that anything like a Dutch Oven?
Couldn't we just have given them a virus with the pictures.
That would explain the line item expense in this year's budget, "Processing fee to release inheritance of Nigerian princess," which accompanies an overly optimistic budget surplus projection.
These guys were also privy to the secret video of Kennedy, Nixon and Castro killing zombies in the Whitehouse.
Scott Brown had to cut the interview short because he was late for his scheduled interview with Jack Mayhoffer and Rod Stiffington, after which he was to meet with Premier Poutine of Canada, and take a telephone call from the Koch brothers.
Those schemes only work if the victim is greedy and willing to break the law. So there you go, all four conditions met.
Apparently, the code name for Osama was not "Geronimo" after all, it was "Bobabooey Bobabooey."
It had to be authentic, there was a dancing Jesus next to him. Dancing Jesus wouldn't lie!
No pictures? So we'll have to photoshop them until we run out of pixels.
Here's a good one, showing OBL caught cleaning the house. http://www.freakingnews.com/pictures/85500/Caught...
"I'm not dead yet."
Wuut? Zero? Duh–Losing!
Chambliss sould be able to identify OBL. The bastard ran a campaign where he compared OBL to Max Cleland.
C'mon… I'll put my Vitter up against him any day.
Stone Sans. Clearly.
Did you know that most of Osama bin Laden’s terrorist operation funds were on deposit in a bank in Nigeria?!! I've been in contact with a Nigerian businessman who will pay me a hefty fee to help him move the funds to a US bank!
"All I can say is that I have been in communication with a very important Nigerian businessman, about which I will say nothing further."
Now, the good people of the Commonwealth of Massassachusetts didn't just elect Senatorfold Scott Brown for his looks.
Oh, wait! Maybe they did…
OMG, my intern just showed me a picture of zombie Elvis on this electronic thingy (I think he called it an ePhone or an aPhone or something? but it didn't look much like the phones we had back in MY day). It has to be official, right? I mean, NO ONE would make something like that up and post it online, right?
There's zombies on the loose people -RUUUUUUUUUN!
Brown recognized OBL from a picture published by the Al-Qaeda's magazine for women. https://picasaweb.google.com/11400799981044075510...
shorter saxby: i am aware of all internet traditions.
Does anybody around my age (mid to late 20s, early 30s) remember a series of children's books about a family called "The Stupids?" They were a family, and they were all stupid. Apparently they've all joined the Tea Party caucus now. The author of those books was a prophet.
Yes! I remember them because my kids are your age. I should look at the bin of books I put away for the grandchildren(who do not exist) to see that.
I raise you one Chuck Grassley.
There is a book about this problem with these three idiots, the title is "Gullible's Travels". Face it, if you believe in Trickle-Down Economics, you'll believe in any fucking thing.
Hey, what if we circulate 'shops of Obama pale as a WASP . . .
could work.
Well, at least Scott Brown is pretty and has his looks to fall back on. The other two? Not so much.
