Look what he’s done now.
Nothing is ever too shameless for our dear Celebrity in Chief, who couldn’t even finish his basketball game at the White House Egg Roll today because he was so busy making out with his own basketball face. From the pool report:
Four players on the court are wearing mostly red Harlem Globetrotters sweats while a few others are in black and navy. Some of the balls they’re playing with are red, white and blue with a presidential portrait …
Kids on the court practiced with some shooting and stretches until the president arrived at 11:13 after visiting a storytelling station …
Sounds like fun for everyone. Does this deserve any further reporting? Definitely not, which is why we now have further reporting on it:
WH says those b-balls w/Obama’s face were supplied by Harlem Globetrotters. Don’t appear 2 be taxpayer-paid balls. twitter.com/EamonJavers/st…
— Eamon Javers (@EamonJavers) April 9, 2012
Should point out: the basketballs with image of POTUS on them were brought by NBA/WNBA players at the WH Easter Egg Roll
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) April 9, 2012
Well, who was it, the Globetrotters or the NBA/WNBA players? Your story’s collapsing, White House. You’re finished.

Balls.
Tee-Hee
I was always waiting for Barry's balls to make headlines.
This was not what I meant.
"Barry's Balls" would make a good name for a candy.
Alec Baldwin could be the spokesperson. He'd do great, I bet.
Chef knows the recipe.
"Four players on the court are wearing mostly red Harlem Globetrotters sweats…." Are they black?
Check to see if John Derbyshire is in the area. If he isn't then they might be.
I want Obama to give me his balls.
That is the only occasion in which I would be proud to be a Tea Bagger.
There, there, LL. Taking pride in one's teabagging is essential to doing a good job, and. . .oh, you meant the cheap and ugly kind of teabagging.
Carry on (and do try to keep calm).
Beautiful.
Sarah wants her face on some balls too.
She's already had some balls on her face, so why not.
She is the Teabag Queen.
She can see balls from her nose.
Particularly Rice balls.
Obama's Balls are pretty big, just as I've always expected. Mmm….yum.
Obama's always cramming his balls down our throats!
SLAM JUNK!
So? I had some toilet paper with George Bush's face on it.
Breitbart is just mad because he never got the chance to play with Barry's balls.
And he's still dead.
Yes, he keeps posting on his blog to complain about how dead he is.
I bet Satan has balls BB could play with, for eternity.
And each time that ball is bounced the Saints cry.
And if it hadn't been for the heroes at Breitbart, the white people would never have found out. Damn.
Oh. I thought that was a red white and blue watermelon with Obama's face on it. I guess I'll just have to wait for Fox for the real story.
This is nuts. Talk about going after low-hanging fruit. Balls.
How long before someone over at BigDeadGovernment or the Daily Rentboy posts an article saying that Obama's balls are the Obama administration's Watergate?
Even the New Jersey Generals could beat Romney.
Washington Generals.
I am fresh out of ball jokes. I feel like I am dropping the ball.
Ball's in my court now?
Keep your eye on his ball.
Lance Armstrong libel!
Dittos. I was waiting for an epiphany of a joke, but the thoughts are just coming in dribbles.
Hey, I'd get a doctor to look at that.
If you don't start making ball jokes around here, you'll definitely be sacked.
The President is juggling a lot of balls right now.
I'm not playing anymore you cheaters. I'm taking my POTUS and I'm going home.____(My wonkette haz the brokenz)
Mine has been acting up too. But only twenty minutes left in the workday, so meh.
That's a picture of John Derbyshire giving his kids "the talk." Props never hurt when you want to drive home a point.
This, son, is what a BLACK man looks like. Stare at it. Let it sink in. I pray to God you never see one in real life (just hang out at the National Review all day and you'll be OK).
Brietards can't jump.
DOUBLE DRIBBLE!
White men can't tweet.
If you squint your eyes, a basketball look like a big "O".
Obviously a conspiracy by the White House.
What the… ?? OMG you're right!!! Now he's he's indoctrinating our white childrens with circles!!! What WON'T that black devil stoop to??
Ballgate?
This is just the tip of a much longer story that will take us into the deepest, darkest crevices of politics. There will be a lot of cocks. And no small amount of Balls.
Definitely going to require a deep throat before somebody gets it in the end.
Deep Throat (who was a leaker)
somebody gets it in the end
= SANTORUM!!
How many balls did Jake Tapper have to put on his face to get where he is today?
All of 'em…etc. etc.
At least they scaled them down so as not to show off.
I guess this validates George Will's accusation that the POTUS is "loutish." Can't get much more loutish than throwing your balls around and encouraging the local PD to make finger rape an everyday sport. Whoops! That latter was a gang of louts from another branch of gov't!
Jake Tapper would know about dribbling.
This makes me nostalgic for Wilson, one of Tom Hanks' balls.
Testicular jokes for all!
This story is nuts!
They're just a step down from dick jokes.
A STEP? Either your steps are very short, like a shuffling old, or those suckers hang down your pants leg something awful. Either way, have you seen a doctor about that?
Perhaps it is because of all the brass.
Testicular jokes for some, tiny American flags for others!
When Bush was president, at Easter they gave out little scale models of 500-lb daisy cutter bombs with George's face painted on them, with a little voice balloon saying "Hello Abdul!!!"
The scary thing is that I'm not sure you're joking.
It'll be hard to verify because no-one gave a shit back then, when the President was meh, not blah.
Or action figures of the little fuckhead wearing a flight suit on the deck of an aircraft carrier, that says "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!" when you push a button.
You know else who their face on balls?
Ted Haggard?
Yogi Berra?
Monica?
Tebow? Also. Too, has had his hands on many balls. Prolly his face a few times as well.
Linda Lovelace?
Rock Hudson?
OG Teabaggers?
According to comments in the link, every dictator in the history of the world ever.
Me?
And now for your obligatory Two Minutes Hate:
These ubiquitous images of The Narcissistic One are starting to remind me of totalitarian states where on ever corner can be found an adoring monument or portrait of the dictator that is still alive and in power.
Stay KKKlassy, Big Hollywood.
I for one fully support this.
Especially in the South, alongside statues of General Sherman.
AND Lincoln, Southerners never called GOP "the party of Lincoln", they always call it "the party of Reagan"
I wonder which one of the Breitbart sites will break the news about his autopsy report. From what I've heard it shows that his stomach contents were cocaine, bile and a large quantity of semen.
Glad you picked the least offensive comment.
I also made the mistake of heading over there and bottom
feedingreading… I think I might need a xanax.Or brain psyllium.
Hmm, my exposure was recent enough that brain ipecac might be more effective.
Good plan. Wait too long and one can imagine that the suppose it story can be quite painful.
He has a carefully thought out, incisive point. The face of the president on a basketball supplied by the Harlem Globetrotters at an Easter egg hunt is exactly like totalitarianism. I only wish Hannah Arendt were here to validate that.
Red, white and blue are the national colors of Kenya, too? Also?
Everybody's making with the slutty little balls jokes, but what about the basket jokes, because they are basketballs, as in Easter baskets, and….
Oh, fuck it. Balls.
Gaaa, no warning for the Breitbart link? I accidentally read some of the comments and now will have to start drinking again. My afternoon is shot.
Did someone say shot? Don't mind if I do.
Hell, it's Monday somewhere…
If you think that was bad, you should go read the comments on their RIP Mike Wallace article.
[shudder]
If the Harlem Globetrotters brought their balls, what did the Washington Generals bring?
It is a little confusing as you'd assume that it was the Washington Wizards who'd bring their wizard sleeves.
Now that the Harlem Globetrotters are supporting Obama, the Breitbarters are going to lose a bunch of money betting on the Washington Generals.
Impeach the bastard!
I hope Obama remembers to bring those balls with him the next time he has to negotiate with the Republicans in Congress.
True story!
I was still in high school when during the holidays I went to one of those shops in the mall that sells t-shirts that you can have crappy personalized, screen-printing put on. We asked what holiday images they had (yes, I was looking to have an ugly xmas sweatshirt made, the uglier the better). The man showed us some boring snowmen and trees and then he excitedly exclaimed, "I've got big Christmas balls!".
We laughed and laughed .
"We laughed and laughed."
And this just got me chucking. Awesome!
I suppose Christmas balls should be painted red and green. Sexy!
On a flocked tree, blue ones look nice.
I love that word. Flocked. Flocked. Flocked.
Pssst…
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the twentieth high jacker.
(Pass it on…)
Roger.
Someone needs to explain to FrightFart's followers how to bust some balls, since they clearly have no clue how to go about accomplishing that task.
Reminds me of the famous quote by James Carville.
"If Hillary gave him one of her balls, they'd both have two"
They'd have to find their's first.
Wait, basketball egg rolls? I thought Lin-Sanity was over?
Are those the balls they make the Guantanamo Bay prisoners play with in their $18.7 million playground? (That would be one way to make FOX News pay attention to national security issues…).
Beats the George Bush emblazoned polo mallets my kids were given at the '02 WH easter egg roll
If they keep taking Obama's balls to the hole, they'll be cleaning the boards. Something, something, rimming, yes!
Why can't they play a game that was invented in America?
I can see Obama's balls, and Romney's nuts.
I wonder if Chef made a version of these.
I have two ball jokes, but one is longer than the other.
I'd put the GOP up there with the Washington Generals.
There weren't any Zimmerman's in the neighborhood were there?
Just Ryan and Jordan.
I had a couple of dates with one of the Harlem Globetrotters, I was about 19 and 5'4" and he was about 29 and 7' tall, a match made in heaven.
7 feet tall! He could probably talk directly to God.
Well it was awkward over dinner, what with his legs and my tits there was hardly any room for the plates.
Did you find out if they called him Curly Neal for nothing? (Sorry, I only remember the names of two (former) Globetrotters).
Well, that's two more than me, I cannot remebmer his name , he was tall and black.
Guess you're not a fan of The Amazing Race then (Flight Time, Big Easy)
So, did you go up on him? (Sorry).
Nose to nose, his feet was innit, nose to toes his feet was innit, hee, hee!
The BASTARD. Giving kids sporting equipment….
I hear ya. In my day we had to get a crappy "job" that paid us next to nothing, or just go out and steal our sports equipment. Kids don't know how easy they have it today!
Well one good thing is that Andrew Breitbart didn't post that story.
Speaking of balls, I'm driving with the car radio on, and somebody called in and requested "chocolate salty balls", and they *actually played it*!:

…because we are collapsing as a nation, not because we are funnier. Everything has hidden meaning now.
Sure, basketballs. Not baseballs, which would be WAY more American as apple strudel. Not soccer balls, the worlds favorite game. Basketballs, and all of their hidden hoodie meaning. Way to give the election away! Might as well go over to Mitten's new deluxe multi-wives pad, and congratulate him right now!
"Mitten's new deluxe multi-wives pad"
I think I am going to wait until the Deluxe Multi-Wives Pad 5 comes out.
Finally the ultimate right-wing fantasy of being able to repeatedly slam Obama's face into the pavement is a reality, and these assholes STILL aren't happy. There's just no pleasing some people.
The supreme court will not let this stand. They will rename themselves SCROTUS.
The balls are for emergency use by the Secret Service. Any assassination attempts by the Washington Generals will be met with lethal dodgeball force. The ref won't notice anything amiss.
Lies! I clicked that link and it was not the London Review of Books, at all!
We must start the impeachment proceedings now!
I don't know who created those basketballs, but they would actually be pretty good swag for his campaign.
Not to be outdone, the Romney campaign is feverishly targeting its own base with Romney-visaged squash balls, Viagra tablets and yachting hats.
Drudge Siren: Andrew Beitbart is still dead.
I've been trying to post less dirty/juvenile comments on Wonkette & then Newell posts this. BALLS!
For purposes of fairness:
Tits.
This is even worse than the Dick Cheney line of extra-low hanging Trucknutz that the Whitehouse gave out for Easter in 2006.
Wow, when you have Jake Tapper defending the White House, something is horribly wrong.
After watching him roll over on us time and time again over the last three years, I figured somebody had his balls.
