An Ugly AP Photo of Every Major Presidential Candidate Today

Saturday, January 19th, 2008

uglysc1.jpgTHOSE ARE MIKE HUCKABEE’S LEGS! They look like unfried, defrosting unbreaded mozzarella sticks from the Old Country Buffet, Ukraine version. More ugly photos of major presidential candidates from Caucus/Primary Saturday after the jump, including bona fide evidence that Hillary Clinton is the dementor who let Bellatrix Lestrange out of Azkaban.

Fred Thompson Doesn’t Care About Black People

Friday, January 18th, 2008

Grampa Fred Thompson might look like a harmless geriatric with under-eye bags you could smuggle a goat in, but it turns out he’s just another sinister millionaire creep who hates AIDS babies in Africa. “With people dying of cancer, and heart disease, and children dying of leukemia still, I got to tell you — we’ve got a lot of problems here,” he told a reporter who asked him if he supported Bush’s global AIDS initiative. Then he chortled loudly as he picked his teeth with the bones of orphans who died of an easily preventable disease instead of something respectable, like lymphoma. [Washington Post]


McCain to Fix Economy With Greenspan’s Corpse

Friday, January 18th, 2008

bernies1.jpgWhile Dipshit McGoo Thompson thinks the economy can be saved by calling it “boring,” respectable old man John McCain has an even more WALNUTS! plan to fix it: make Alan Greenspan do it. MORE »


Thompson To Save Economy With ‘Law & Order’ Joke

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

thompsonecon.jpgFred Thompson was asked today what he would do with the economy. Instead of making a real answer, he said something about Law & Order on TNT. When pressed for a real answer, he said economic stimulus plans sound “boring.” Oh shucksy humdinger, that ole Dipshit McGoo sure knows how to tickle the underbelly. He can get away with such things, however, given his reputation as the smartest, least lazy presidential candidate in American history. MORE »


A Conversation Between Friends

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

Fred, I’m your friend. I thought you made the most awesomely random DA ever in Law & Order and friends of mine that worked for you said you were a hell of a boss. But, Fred, honey, don’t let them put that much make-up on you in an advertisement again. I don’t know whether it’s the lighting or what but, holy hell, if you had on slightly darker lipstick and a wig, you’d be Rudi. Also, you seriously either need to stop trying to emote by moving your head or see a doctor because, friend, you worry me (and not just because you’re 100% pro-life, because friends can disagree). Why don’t you and Jeri head home, take care of those kids and enjoy the L&O residuals, my friend?

Diagnosis Fred

Friday, January 11th, 2008

He’s going to lose! But, actually, this time we don’t think that it’s his utter lack of a chance or his poor acting chops that are the problem. Ten seconds into his new commercial, I got palpably dizzy from all the bobbing and weaving his (shrunken-looking) head is doing, and then he announces that it’ll feel good getting back to “home territory” in South Carolina. One problem: Fred’s from Tennessee, which doesn’t even border South Carolina. Uh-oh. MORE »

South Carolina BBQ: GOP Debate Wrapup Horror

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

Well, that’s done. Fred “It’s All About Huckabee” is on Fox News talking to that punching bag … what’s his name, Alan. And now Huckabee is on, pretending he didn’t hear Thompson. Maybe they’ll let Dr. Congressman Ron Paul on soon, who will claim he didn’t hear anything that happened all night, even though he will not condemn those who said it. Oh, and to our special make-believe GOP debate spokesmodel Miss Teen South Carolina, let’s just say all is forgiven. You are forgiven! Thanks everybody for another gruesome night of debate coverage and comment. Drive safe, everyone (back to the liquor store). Our fun-filled live-blogging posts are 1) here and 2) here and 3) here.
