GEORGE W. BUSH  7:30 pm July 20, 2012

George W. Bush Selflessly Chooses To Let Others Enjoy All of Tampa’s Strippers

by Jim Newell

Who?George W. Bush was president for eight years, and it was awesome and he was famous he was powerful, but now he lives in a big mansion in… Dallas… eww… and has lots of money and never wants to see or talk about politics again. For the second consecutive time, he will not be attending the Republican National Convention. Since he is America’s most popular president, perhaps even the Second Jesus, it must be a simple matter of scheduling issues. Sucks for him! He’s going to miss some fun (/unfun and predictable) themed strippers in Tampa, the nation’s worst city behind Charlotte, North Carolina.

These strippers will be state of the art, top of the line. For example: one club will feature a stripper resembling Sarah Palin, an idea that strip club owners nationwide thought would be creative within one minute of Palin’s announcement as VP candidate four years ago. Also, these will be fancy science and technology strippers from the future:

One place is bringing in a stripper who looks like former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. There are major renovations taking place. And some nude clubs have already been giving potential customers a taste of the talent online.

“Not only can you see the dancers on the stage and in the dressing room, you can also talk to them in an online chat room,” said Don Kleinhans, owner of the 2001 Odyssey on North Dale Mabry Highway.

By the time the RNC begins in late August, Kleinhans hopes out-of-towners will have already formed attachments to his dancers from watching them online through the Club Cam System, which the 2001 Odyssey developed.

So the cutting-edge strip club marketing idea is apparently, “You can just stay at home and jack off to the strippers, on your computer.” This could cannibalize the club’s revenue stream, but hey, we are not MBAs as you had all suspected.

So… uhh… how were we forcing ourselves to tie together these two barely related stories again? George W. Bush will not be able to see the strippers in Tampa but can watch them on the Internet; that’s the ticket.

Now everyone go play outside for a while, it’s the weekend.

Sarah Palin will also be home masturbating, to a George W. Bush lookalike.

weejee July 20, 2012 at 7:58 pm

A Shrub clearing brush, or a Dubbya on a stick pole?

bumfug July 20, 2012 at 8:00 pm

If Sarah's masturbating, it will be to a hundred dollar bill.

I find this comment impossible to masturbate to.

Lionel[redacted]Esq July 21, 2012 at 1:34 am

Just try harder

tessiee July 21, 2012 at 1:58 am

I *could* masturbate harder…
OR…
I could masturbate *smarter*…
which would *also* rule out any mention of silly sarah.

zippy_w_pinhead July 21, 2012 at 3:46 am

what do you think this is, Wankette?

nounverb911 July 20, 2012 at 7:36 pm

Second straight convention Bush'll be avoiding the hurricane.

johnnymeatworth July 20, 2012 at 7:37 pm

On the plus side, all the Tampa-area bars still have time to cut back on their O'Doul's orders.

WunkRocker July 22, 2012 at 9:37 pm

Just want to interject that since no secret Wonkette cabal came out of the woodwork to squat at my hovel in US America's worst city for the DNC… I will get the head start on Chase bank and move out before those assbags foreclose. If Keith Ellison or any of the other muzlin brotherhoodies want to eat skittles at my hovel, the key is under the mat. Along with the crow bar. Just break the padlock off.
Cheers.

Amazing what you can transmit over the Internet these days…

Boojum July 20, 2012 at 7:37 pm

Todd will be there.

Edit: This quote from the stripper story is teh AWESOME:

"Guys I meet online feel like we have a relationship," she said. "If someone came to town, you only had them the short amount of time … and had to part ways. Now you can still make money off them."

– Go Go the stripper

Is she not the perfect little Republican?

tessiee July 21, 2012 at 2:04 am

""Guys I meet online feel like we have a relationship," she said."

I don't claim to be any kind of expert on the male psyche, but really? Go Go thinks that because some total stranger beats his meat to an online video of her, he "feels like they have a relationship"? Sounds to me like someone had a big heaping bowl of Delusional Flakes for breakfast this morning. I'd be amazed if the guy she's fucking in real life feels like they have a relationship.

MittBorg July 21, 2012 at 3:17 pm

You have to understand that she's speaking of the *Republican* definition of relationship, i.e., just because they've been beating the meat to her online, they expect to totally fucking own her ass once they actually get to town. For free.

But she's smart enough to keep milking them for the munniez, which is really all that matters to all the hideous twisted little participants in this pathetic caricature of a human interaction.

thatsitfortheother1 July 23, 2012 at 10:16 am

But only a time or two…
Third rate romance. Low rent redezvous.

LetUsBray July 20, 2012 at 7:37 pm

Would that his scheduling conflict placed him in The Hague.

But if he's at least aware in some dim little portion of his booze- and coke-addled brain that no one wants to see him, that's something.

nounverb911 July 20, 2012 at 7:38 pm

Instead of the "Dance of the Seven Veils" will the strip clubs feature the "Dance of the Seven Sister Wives"?

Vecchiojohn July 20, 2012 at 7:51 pm

Magic G-strings!

MittBorg July 21, 2012 at 3:19 pm

I think the Magic Undies extend from neck to knees. Kinda hard to make THAT into a thong.

Doktor Zoom July 20, 2012 at 7:38 pm

The strippers will be just like the convention: No Bush to be seen.

shortsandpants July 20, 2012 at 7:42 pm

You are insinuating their masculine qualities, I assume?

weejee July 20, 2012 at 7:59 pm

It's summer, so it seems reasonable you'd find the Replugz at the drags.

Boojum July 20, 2012 at 11:27 pm

I think he is indicating that W's removed that bush a brazillion times.

tessiee July 21, 2012 at 1:15 am

His claim to fame is for clearing brush.
Well, that, and being a miserable failure.

extreme_left July 20, 2012 at 11:52 pm

I would be disappointed if I saw Bush at a strip club, I don't pay the big bucks for that.

MittBorg July 21, 2012 at 3:22 pm

WhatTheHeck July 20, 2012 at 7:39 pm

The club’s revenue stream is based entirely on male patrons other stream.

edgydrifter July 20, 2012 at 7:41 pm

In other words, George's handlers haven't been able to keep him on the wagon lately, and the party leadership can't risk any photos of Pickles and Turdblossom restraining him from "wrasslin" with Mitt.

tessiee July 21, 2012 at 1:17 am

"any photos of Pickles and Turdblossom restraining him from "wrasslin" with Mitt."

I would pay good money to see that, if I had money.
Also, in keeping with Dumbass' habit of making up a demeaning nickname for everybody, I wonder what Dumbass' demeaning nickname for Mitt is?

HedonismBot July 21, 2012 at 11:17 am

The Rehabilitation of George W. Bush's Image

Step 1: Keep George W. Bush out of sight and away from a microphone.
There is no Step 2.

OneDollarJuana July 20, 2012 at 11:40 pm

Not sure you can rehabilitate his image. For example, lepers were kept out of sight, and now leprosy is even curable, but still nobody has anything good to say about it, except the occasional sick joke.

Why did the leper go to the gun dealer?
He wanted to buy some arms.

MittBorg July 21, 2012 at 3:27 pm

Oh, I love leper jokes almost as much as dead baby jokes!

Biel_ze_Bubba July 22, 2012 at 1:32 am

What did the leper say to the prostitute?
"Keep the tip."

MittBorg July 22, 2012 at 3:37 am

The first rule of George W. Bush Club is that we do not talk about George W. Bush Club.

The only route to rehabbing Dubya is by electing someone so incompetent we look back in nostalgic sadness at the Bush years. Fortunately for Dubya, relief in the form of Mittens may be coming.

MittBorg July 21, 2012 at 4:43 pm

I always figured that's how we ended up with Dumbya. G.H.W. couldn't stand the thought of going down as the most useless, incompetent piece of shit ever to disgrace the US Presidency, and Dumbfuck was the only idiot in the known Galaxy who could make his Dad look good.

So, no Bush, no Palin. Will Dick Cheney be there? Or will he only show up if he decides he is going to be vice president again?

"Bush is kinda the herpes of Presidents"

I always associate herpes with the Palin tribe. Just when you think you're finally rid of them, one or another of them will crave attention, and we'll have to suffer another outbreak. Oh, yeah, and I also associate herpes with the Palins because they're disease-ridden trailer trash.

Thanks for the disgusting mental-image dichotomy of strippers dressed like Sarah Palin and worn out female genitals.

ttommyunger July 21, 2012 at 12:08 pm

Disgusting? Stories of strippers and female genitalia are a fabled and glorious genre' for sure, but disgusting? Why, I have invested untold hours and uncounted Dollars in pursuit of those subjects, as far East as Manhattan and as far West as Manilla, but I have yet to be disgusted. I've seen Labia so massive and talented that they could play Pick-Up Stix, shoot Ping-Pong Balls across a large room and slap a Hockey Puck into a net past two Goalies. I personally know a lady in Atlanta who has delighted patrons for years with her willingness and ability to tie her love-lips in a knot for anyone willing to pay a small fee. I happen to prefer a woman who comes equipped with fender-skirts and have been known to happily place my head between their thighs and pull said appendages up around my face like a gas-mask yodeling for hours and hours, knocking down trees, bushes and flowers. Disgusting? I've been with women whose Twinkie was so rancid and pee-crusted that I could have at it all weekend and still feel grit between my teeth at Command Reveille come Monday Morning. Disgusting? I could give some accounts that would make a Carnival Barker blush if I were so inclined….but I would never do that on the Wonkette, never.

I don't blame Chimpy for not wanting to attend the Republican convention in Tampa. I would not be able to stand it either. The only thing I can think of that would make me want to attend would be to see Pussy Riot perform the Star Spangled Banner in the opening ceremony.

Come on Putin, be a man, free Pussy Riot!

Hey, I think I saw this boid earlier today…

DerrickWildcat July 21, 2012 at 3:31 am

With the drought going on here, all the streams and ponds are drying out leaving them a fast food haven for fish eating birds. This was taken yesterday at a smallish lake here in town and I saw at least 8 Great Blue Herons gorging themselves and 3 Belted Kingfishers having an easy time snagging out fish.

va_real July 21, 2012 at 12:43 pm

So at least there's an upside to the drought, although the fishies may not be very appreciative. Are you in SoCal?

MittBorg July 21, 2012 at 3:49 pm

What are the specs on that shot? What lens were you using?

You should post links every time you take a shot. Your work is too beautiful not to share.

DerrickWildcat July 21, 2012 at 7:45 pm

That GBH Shot was taken with a Sigma 150-500 mm lens. I got really really close to it. About 15 yards away. He was a youngin and didn't quite know what to make of me. He seemed to be more interested in playing with his new fancy wings than to pay attention to me. I don't want to post many pictures on here, because this really isn't the place for it. Maybe just sneak one on here now and then late at night or on a weekend.

MittBorg July 22, 2012 at 10:18 pm

Or you could just post the link every time there's a new shot? That way you won't eat up bandwidth, but those of us Who Luvz Teh Birdeez will get notice!

OneYieldRegular July 20, 2012 at 10:58 pm

Let's see: the Republican Party won't even return the calls of their last time in power, they're putting forth a candidate the religious right utterly despises, they've alienated everyone who's not a rich white male (except for Allen West), and everyone else in the party will spend the convention battling their way through rabid Ron Paul fetishists so that they can get out and ogle contemptuous strippers dressed like Sarah Palin. Meanwhile, the rest of the country will be getting gay married in peace.

And they say Barack Obama has done nothing.

Boojum July 20, 2012 at 11:41 pm

In the case of Michele Bachman, I think "alienated" refers to the extraterrestrial lunch box they made from her skull.

fuflans July 20, 2012 at 11:56 pm

If Bush does show up, hopefully they will have pretzels at the club; or maybe he could go out shooting trapped ducks like a sportsman with Dick Cheney.

el_donaldo July 20, 2012 at 11:24 pm

It would be almost as awkward for Republicans to find W at the convention as it would be for you to find your mom at the strip club. Or maybe finding your mom at the convention would be nearly as awkward for you as it would be for the GOP if W attended a Tampa strip club. I don't know. I'm almost out of whiskey. What do you people expect?

C) Over 1/2 of deaths every year by guns in the USA are suicides (true story)

D) Wolf Blitzer can expel 18 liters of bullshit per second

E) Barbara Walters either has a semblance of a soul or is one cheap bitch

F) F is for Fake

Further to Designer_Rants' post, one could make the argument that singing 'Hey Joe' at the ballpark instead of 'doG Bless America' might be more intellectually honest. I've always been more partial to Hendrix's version, Patti Smith also too, than the Leaves' take, but either way it might be nice to tone-down the violence and make it more like ♪♫ Hey Jim ♫♪.

MittBorg July 21, 2012 at 4:35 pm

Those birds are natives of the mid-Western states, I think. Certainly not the far western ones. We do see great blue herons and snowy egrets, but a lot of those birds are not familiar to me at all. And you should see Derrick's pic of a Pileated Woodpecker. The resolution is simply amazing. Also too the bird looks so good, it's almost fake, if you know what I mean.

I have a thing for birds.

DerrickWildcat July 21, 2012 at 7:49 pm

No where near as exotic as SoCal. I'm in Lincoln, Ne. Nebraska is actually a pretty good place for birds since it's centrally located and right on the Central Migration Super Highway. We get a smattering of Eastern, Western, Northern and Southern species. Just got to know where to look for them and the time and patience to do it.
