Harry Reid Didn’t Even Want To See Those Bin Laden Photos, So There

by Jack Stuef  2:12 pm May 11, 2011

'I don't know what this means, but my big brother showed me, and it's bad.'Senators were already acting like children by pretending they saw (or, maybe worse, thinking they actually saw) photos of Osama bin Laden’s corpse. But now that the White House has reportedly decided to let a select few members of Congress see them, but not the others, it’s elementary school all over again. Harry Reid is an ex officio member of the Senate intelligence committee, but apparently that doesn’t mean he is allowed to see the photos, while the select members of the committee are, from what we can tell from the rather scant reporting on this. Whatever, who cares, Harry Reid didn’t even want to see your stupid baby Bin Laden photos, so there. “I don’t want to see it,” he said, trying to appear cool before running off to his office to cry.

We’re pretty sure nobody in Congress is going to see these photos, but the peer pressure is going to make them all pretend like they’ve seen them so they’ll seem cool.

“Yeah, I saw the pictures. Wasn’t it gross, you guys? Or did you babies even see it?” Marco Rubio will say.

“It was, I saw it! It looked like Osama fell off the monkey bars and busted his head open! He had wood chips stuck in his blood, I think, just like Bobby Reiner when that happened to him on the playground,” Dick Durbin will say.

“I saw a condo and a lube next to his face,” Saxby Chambliss will say. “That’s what you use when you do sex stuff.”

“There was a lot of sex in that picture. It was awesome,” John Thune will say.

“Did you know when you die your face turns hot pink and poop comes out of your mouth? That’s what his face did,” Chuck Grassley will say.

If anyone hasn’t seen the Osama photos, they’re either too chicken to look or just aren’t cool, like, at all.

UPDATE:

He found it! It was in Obama's underwear drawer next to the Playboys!

So what I see when I Google "Muslin snuff porn" are not the Osama pix?

i wish i could give you more than one 'p' for that.

BerkeleyBear May 11, 2011 at 3:22 pm

Excellent, but I suspect Kirk might say something like

"Well, when I killed 18 top terrorists and won the Medal of Honor on my last tour, none of them looked like that"

Y'know, so that he could both claim cool credit and undermine the President.

Translation from Kirk speak – "when I was fapping 18 times to Lindsey Graham's bootleg of 300 during my two week vacation/reserve training, none of the glistening dead Spartans looked like that"

baconzgood May 11, 2011 at 2:18 pm

Man!!!! I've been looking at dead Osama photographs since I was 15 and never looked back.

a really cool senator would say "I saw the pics…and he looks like your mom!" Ah, kids.

ttommyunger May 11, 2011 at 2:19 pm

Harry Reid sees a corpse every time he looks in a mirror, so he's got that going for him, which is nice.

ManchuCandidate May 11, 2011 at 2:19 pm

Who doesn't want to see photos of a guy who just got his brains blown out?

I'm sure this is probably harder on the GOPers than the Demrats because they'd be torn between wanting to see them (as fapping material) or not because a Demrat Kenyan born black Muslin fascist etc etc etc preznit dropped the dime on OBL and not their guy who stopped the hunt because it was too hard.

poncho_pilot May 11, 2011 at 2:35 pm

i think the Rs can have both ways. they'll fap in private and then in an awesome display of projection, start some anti-snuff porn fapping witch hunt in congress.

chascates May 11, 2011 at 2:20 pm

Joe Lieberman won't miss this opportunity:

“I’ve been so involved in all the post-9/11 activity here and Homeland Security related, I thought if they’d offer me this opportunity, I’m going to go out and look,” Lieberman told POLITICO.
When asked if seeing the photos would provide some closure, the Connecticut independent replied: “In a way.”

CapeClod May 11, 2011 at 2:23 pm

God, he is a repelent asshole.

Fare la Volpe May 11, 2011 at 2:33 pm

Remember me, Joe Lieberman? Why won't the White House consult me, Joe Lieberman, about this issue that I, Joe Lieberman, have been so critically important in the execution of by me, Joe Lieberman. Lieberman Lieberman Lieberman Lieberman Lieberman!? Lieberman Lieberman!

Soon, a group of four Senators – a cool one, a geeky one, a fat one and another one – will go on a trip to find and view Osama bin Laden's body, while escaping the wrath of a group of bullies lead by Kieffer Sutherland, in a coming-of-age journey.

John McCain hasn't seen the photos — but he has seen the Currier & Ives etching.

So, Barry went from 7-dimensional chess player to unethical child psychologist. The self-esteem of those poor Congress-critters might never recover.

It'll turn up in Lindsey's nightstand covered in santorum smelling of shame.

Screw OBL's photos. I'm still waiting to see the photos of how Reid nearly died being struck down by that parked, stationary car. That's where the REAL story is people.

I hope this viewing is scheduled right after a lunch that features pea soup.

Weenus299 May 11, 2011 at 2:38 pm

To see the photos, they have to go together in a group, walk along some train tracks, barely escape the train as it rolls toward them on a trestle, and then fall into this ditch thing in the woods, only to come upon Keifer Sutherland with a knife.

elviouslyqueer May 11, 2011 at 2:43 pm

From the AP comment board:

Obama is such a political game player at the expense of the American people. Don't all Americans, especially those related to 9/11 victims, deserve the sense of closure that comes from seeing the photos of bin Laden's dead body? Obama's withholding these photos puts at issue not only his human sensitivity but also his commitment to the American people.

Let's review: sending a Hallmark card, remembering an anniversary, not expecting sex on the first date = sensitive. Publishing photos of a bloodied, bullet-riddled corpse with its head half blown off to satisfy someone's morbid death porn fixation = not sensitive.

Gopherit May 11, 2011 at 2:49 pm

Barry is such a cockblock. GIVE US OUR WARPORN!!!

PuckStopsHere May 11, 2011 at 4:02 pm

And morally weak. Don't forget morally weak. Ever.

finallyhappy May 11, 2011 at 2:49 pm

Pretty sure that Obama being black puts at issue his sensitivity and his commitment to the American people.

fuflans May 11, 2011 at 2:50 pm

sentiments like that make me want to punch a republican in the face.

What about sending a Hallmark anniversary card featuring a photo of a bloodied, bullet-riddled corpse with its head half blown off?

Now if it was nekkid pitchers of the new, improved Bristol, we'd take a look. Wanting to see an old man with a bullet wound above his eye, not so much.

Open society anyone? If Bush was refusing to publish any pictures or provide any more details as to what went on, a lot of you would be bitching too.

BlueStateLibel May 11, 2011 at 3:52 pm

You think throwing out a gory photo of bin Laden that'll likely just piss off some nut-cases in Iraq who will take their fury out on U.S. troops is the smart thing to do? And we all know in the age of Photoshop, the doubters will say it's phony, so what's the point? It has nothing to do with being open, it's just common sense.

iburl May 11, 2011 at 4:05 pm

not sure why the bin laden pic would piss anybody off any more than bombing their wedding party.
