Wonkette

I went to Lawler School. I shall represent you, Marine Man.

My staff is preparing a LoLbrief as we speak.

Oh yah. I will represent you por boner.

Say it ain't so, Joe!

Seriously, WTF is going on here??! -- These Bush subversive-types will stop at nothing!--

Please keep us wonketterettes posted on latest developments....

Hart building, my ass!

I always thought the LHOB was better.

As a female commenter who didn't get a chance to chime in on sweet Adam's hotness the other day, I'll take this opportunity: Daaaaaaaaamn!

Also, I'll go ahead and start the hunger strike until he gets released. Let me know who else is in on it. And don't worry, coffee and alcohol don't count so we should be able to keep this up until at least Monday.

Whose the limp wrist in the Village people outfit behind and to the right of Adam?

Someone needs to teach these guys the "manly" way to put their hands on their hips.

@MedianHater:
I'm w/you! Coffee ain't my thing, but if I can have wine and scotch, I'm good to go!!

Free Our Marine!!!

My heart breaks a little every time he appears in front a camera fully clothed.

But I'm resilient. The hunger strike begins as soon as I finish emotionally eating this bag of Doritoes.

Semper Fi, son.

You continue to honor us with your service.

He ought to know the this administration is a crooked as a dog's hind leg!

In solidarity, I promise not to have hot, steamy prison shower fantasies about him until this is all over....

I'm leaving right now for DC so my shoplifting binge gets me in the same cell as our Marine.

Oh wait, DAMN. I'm a guy. Never mind.

In all honesty, we should start a fund for his court costs/legal fees. He could pay us all back with just one video...

WAIT a minute...I'm not gay! What's he done to me?

In other news, 72 women, and 4 confused young men, showed up this morning at the jail were Marine Adam Kokesh is being held, all of them bearing suspiciously saw-shaped cakes. Jail officials also said Kokesh has received 314 marriage proposals, and that a group calling itself Former Lesbians for Hunky Marines, has threatened to detonate a bomb outside the jail if videos of Kokesh taking a shower are not immediately released.

Boy, you hold up one sign documenting the attorney general's faulty memory and then next thing you know, your a cause celebre for a group of sobriety-challenged irony junkies.
Things happen fast in our modern world.

He's even better live. I wonder, does he look shorter in person? And what taller when he's prone, his chest or his nether regions? Stand at attention, marine!

Oh yeah, this is supposed to be political. Coffee and alcohol for everyone!

Power to the people!

Off to Gitmo with him. We'll have Marines on both sides of the doors now. Stupid bastard served our country loyally and came home expecting to find all the rights he left behind still here.

can't they just arrest all those code pink singers instead? do us all a favor..

Okay, so when are the hawt female vets going to start throwing their bras onto the White House lawn?

Let's bring the anti-war movement into the 21st century people!

@MedianHater: "And don't worry, coffee and alcohol don't count so we should be able to keep this up until at least Monday."

Add herbal supplements and I say Wednesday, easy.

In solidarity,
Ted

Let's keep this in perspective. These people were able to hang those banners in the atrium of a supposedly secure government building. That's a huge coup.

And I didn't see a fire hose or German Shepard in the whole arrest sequence.

Course, we don't know what happened in the basement of the Hoover building two hours later.

I'll honor his service...

@Tin Foil Hat:

where's george allen with a fire hose when you need him?

My pet name for him is "Tally McArmstrong."

To bad the video didn't show the cops taking the flag from him and throwing it on the ground.

@Tin Foil Hat: You clearly don't live in D.C.

@whiteguyinshaw: or do you mean service his honor?

So HAVE we confirmed the safety and security of our favorite Marine? I can smash my car through the Capitol PoPo lockup and bust him out. Who's with me?

Since most Americans are ignorant about the Flag Code of the United States, a U.S. flag folded into a "Cocked Hat" most likely comes from the coffin of a deceased warrior or veteran.

Sorry to rain on your parade here.

Hang in there, Adam buddy.

I think Adam is suffering the same fate as Jim Webb's staffer - you can't bring those guns in the Capitol baby!

YEEEEEEEEEEEE-HAW!

@Princess Sparkle Pony:
Hear the latest from Dear Condi?
"Let's be real about this and realistic about this, the idea that somehow 10 interceptors and a few radars in Eastern Europe are going to threaten the Soviet strategic deterrent is purely ludicrous and everybody knows it,"
http://www.themoscowtimes.com/stories/2007/04/27/013.html<...

Dude's totally my hero. Marine protestor guy for President!

The date is wrong on the video. Unless we are marking the one year anniversary. My favorite is the person trying to yank the banner down from the middle. I could watch that all day.

@Ted
I have taken your suggestion and Sexy McTallyer's biceps into further consideration and arrived at the new rule for those of us on the hunger strike:

We can injest anything we don't have to chew.

@Princess Sparkle Pony:
Whoops, missed Tally McArmstrong. I think that's better.

@kindofabigdeal: I honored his service, he serviced my honor and all night long it was service and honor.
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Simmer down, friends-- your beloved Private Adam is fine. He and and the other protesters were released yesterday evening (before happy hour, even!) and they all reunited at Busboys and Poets to refuel and recite inspirational poetry by Maya Angelou.

While Adam seems excited by all the love he's been getting on Wonkette, the most important thing on his mind remains pulling out (of Iraq, natch). So if any of you are connected to important people who would agree to meet with Adam as a representative of Iraq Veterans Against the War (I'm lookin at you, Harkin staff-- we heard about your boss' nostalgic Vietnam moment yesterday with the Taps-playing trumpet guy), I'm pretty sure he would agree to be your-- ahem-- poster boy.

If all else fails, I'd suggest you wear your hottest camo bikini to the "Impeachment Picnic" on the Mall this weekend, and then ask Adam to loan you his matching hat.

@MedianHater: Is nibbling allowed?

Nothing pulls the Wonketteers together like an alcohol-approved hunger strike for pretty marines. Fight the power! Drink for freedom.

How dare that pinko-commie Marine exercise his freedom of speech! He should have skipped out on serving and went into politics like a REAL patriot! If his parents had worked a little less on developing his conscience and a little more on instilling a love for drinking and doing a little blow, he could have been President someday. Now his life is wasted on "trying to make a difference."

What a waste.

@Cogito Ergo Bibo: And drink liberally! We have a rep to maintain.

Fur, bulging muscles, tattoos, and now a criminal record. He's orders of magnitude better than the preppie faggots DC seems to spawn in the backrooms of Axis/Badlands.

Adam, I don't ask and I dont tell. I don't kiss and tell either.

Yes I was arrested yesterday and got to do the paddy wagon shuffle over to "headquarters" for processing. But I, along with 13 other brave souls, was only charged with "unlawful assembly, loud and boisterous." We each paid a fifty dollar fine and were released after a few hours of inconvenience, pat downs, and paperwork. The ironic part about my getting the "loud and boisterous" charge, is that I did not say a word throughout the action. I was also only "assembled" with one other person, Reverend Lennox Yearwood. I may try to fight this, and wanted to take a "citation release," but the mandatory court date would have been the 15th of May, and I will be on a speaking tour in Germany at that time. I posted a couple more speak outs on my profile, http://www.ivaw.org/user/175 and will probably have one about this in a couple days. I'm still waiting to see the footage of them taking the flag out of my hands and cuffing me while standing silently at the position of attention.

Wow, he speaks German, too!

oh don't tease us about the pat downs now.. come on.

I swear, I just heard this page squeal.

SgtKokesh: As a lawyer, I say fight the citation. You can make a motion for a rescheduled court date, since you have cause.

Semper Fi.

Goph

Take one Sgt. Kokesh posting, mix liberally with the federal prison strip search video currently being featured on the Wonkette homepage, spend the rest of the afternoon slooooowly imagining Sgt. Koresh's "pat down."

Hot in here. Anyone have a cigarette?

@Cogito Ergo Bibo: Filthy minds think alike.

Crap. Just read the good Sgt. Kokesh's two new posts on his IVAW profile. Even his brain is pretty. Sigh...

Now I'll just imagine him reading me his thoughtful, incisive essays. Naked. Hey, it's still getting the message out!

Oh my God, he was in the room with us! Does my hair look okay? See what I miss when I go and do "real work" for a couple of hours? Sarge, if you need a post-lockdown rub-down, let me know.

Good golly, I've never been so happy to have kept my pervy fantasies to myself (for once).

@Ted -

don't know about German, but he claims to have taught himself Arabic - which is infinitely harder.

Bottoms up, Cogito. Though I'll leave the fantasizing to you and the Friends of Dorothy.

@SgtKokesh: I agree with Gotham. Move to continue the court date and fight this thing.

Oh, and if you feel the need to get loud and boisterous, I'm available anytime.

Is this the same guy that took note of every time Alberto Gonzales said that he wasn't sure on a tablet? Now he is jail? Never leave it on a bus, apparently.

Cheney is now demanding a Constitutional amendment retroactively criminalizing the holding of a folded American flag in a public buiding, while on one knee and wearing a hat. There will be a loophole in it for any undergraduate who also was carrying at least two automatic weapons.

@SgtKokesh:
Can we contribute?? - Go for it!!

@SgtKokesh:

Adam, listen to an old broad who's lusting after you. Don't fight it. The cops actually helped you in this.

Keep up the good work. Oh, and as a favor to your elder here, please wear short sleeve shirts every now and again. Hubba hubba. :D

AW! What fuckin' shame. Hope he rots in jail!

Hee hee: Chefpain is full of shame over wanting to fuck Tally McArmstrong in HOTT behind bars action!

Don't worry... we all do!

An interesting character. We'll see how long he lasts once the media get a hold of him. once again, its not the message its the messenger. Presentation is everything. I'm curious to see what the Anti-'Anti Gonzales hero Marine' will look like. Musclier?
