CAN'T IGNORE IT

America’s Television Channel: What The Dickens Do We Do About These Muzzies?

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Fox News’ in-house eugenicist Brian Kilmeade had a provocative suggestion this morning, on his network’s A.M. comedy show: “KILMEADE: Do you think it’s time for the military to have special debriefings of Muslim Army officers — anybody enlisted?…Because if I’m going to be deployed in a foxhole, if I’m going to be sticking in an outpost, I got to know the guy next to me is not going to want to kill me.” Got to know it, man, Brian’s just got to know it.

OUCH

What Shame Feels Like: Elie Wiesel Condemning You, On Twitter

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Hey, moron with the “health care reform = Dachau” sign at yesterday’s protest: freaking Elie Wiesel hates you, or at the very least… you know… considers that a false equivalency. On Twitter. [Twitter]


SUPER BOWL OF RETARDATION

Such A Vulgarian, This Teabagger

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Wonkette motorist operative “Marcus” sent us this telephone picture of the rather uncouth car he was stuck behind yesterday, during the Super Bowl of Retardation. This fellow hates Obama so much that he — and we’re presuming “he,” because how unladylike! — chose to attach a massive cut-out of a donkey shitting Obama’s head on his rear windshield, at the expense of his visibility. Another sticker reads, “King’s Dream is a Nightmare.” Oh that silly Martin Luther King Jr., always ripe for a joke. After the jump, another wacky leftover operative photo, from a Hill office.

New York Times Explains This ‘Ten Percent’ Concept

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Look kids, this is what 10% unemployment looks like — one Men’s Room sign out of ten is filled with warm piss! The very important New York Times graphic adds, “That’s 15.7 million people. If the unemployed lived in one state, it would be the country’s fifth largest.” Great! Move ‘em all to one state, nuke it a few times, problem solved. [NYT]


KIND OF A CRAPPY RAINBOW

Check Out What The Christian God Did Today

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

So that horrific killing spree put a real damper on the day’s comedy prospects, although we’re sure Wolf Blitzer’s trying his inadvertent best to make us all laugh again. But know that before the sadness in Texas, God painted the teabaggers a rainbow. And then someone in an office took a picture of the Teabaggers’ Rainbow and e-mailed it to K-Lo, the end.

HOORAY!

Some Strange Website Is Yelling Mean Things About Your Editor

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

We have been drawn, via our referrals, to some new thing called the Atlantic Wire, which tells you what every pundit and blogger is writing about at all times! It is the anti-porn. But “incoherence” is our goal here, so thank you weird new hyperspeed Atlantic thing! [Atlantic Wire]


JOKES WILL RESUME SHORTLY

Thursday, November 5th, 2009
  • JUST TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT: The news out of Fort Hood keeps getting worse: 12 people have now been confirmed dead, with 31 injured. The two gunmen were soldiers stationed at Fort Hood and “the shootings took place at a readiness facility, which is where soldiers go before deploying overseas.” It started just before a 2 p.m. graduation ceremony. UPDATE: Uh oh: “The suspected gunman was identified as Major Malik Nadal Hasan.” The Internet will give this one another 45 minutes or so, out of respect, before a veritable World War II of furious accusatory typing begins. We’re getting out now. [NYT]

ACE JOB WITH THE RECITATION

Terrible Congressman Comically Screws Up His Precious Pledge Of Allegiance

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

This one is a beauty. Congressman Todd Akin, speaking before the Bachmaniacs at the Super Bowl of Retardation, delivers a glib lecture about the Pledge of Allegiance, its history, and its awesome inclusion of “Under God.” He asks the crowd to join him in the Pledge, because it “drives the liberals crazy.” And then he screws it up.

TAXPAYERS WILL PAY JANITORS OVERTIME TODAY

And Here It Is, A Bunch Of Trash Outside Pelosi’s Office

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Hooray, America is free! Unless Steny Hoyer memorized the House health care bill verbatim — AS WAS YOUR JOB STENY — and can transcribe it by votin’ time Saturday night, Pelosi’s AbortionCare is gone forever, strewn about on the floor outside her office. Independent and moderate voters must be so impressed with the Republican leaders’ professionalism today. [TwitPic/Mike Madden]


SUPER BOWL OF RETARDATION

Maybe Waiting In A Thousand-Person Line To Get Into A House Office Building Should Be The Time To Realize, ‘What Am I Even Doing?”

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

A top secret operative sends us this video of the line of folks looking to get into Longworth, which is super lengthy. Clearly the guards are ACORN thugs trying to slow down the security process, the bastards. But hey there’s another House office building right across the street, so they will just run back and forth between the two buildings all day trying to find the shortest lines, as one would do at the supermarket check-out.

PURGEMASTERS

Meet The New, Very Violent Michael Steele

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Michael Steele was so enraged by RNC Chairman Michael Steele’s original endorsement of Scuzzlebutt, the Maoist “moderate Republican” candidate in the NY-23 special election, that he has killed that Michael Steele and invented a new Michael Steele to dress up and run around on television as. This Michael Steele despises any semblance of moderation and promises to go Stalin on those moderate motherfuckers he’d already selected to run in various 2010 races. Moo moo, baby, motherfuckin’ cow on the tracks, can’t catch me, I’m on fire… MORE »
