Rudy Giuliani Says Funny Things On Conference Call

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

As you know, the worst mayor ever of anything, Rudy Giuliani, will deliver the keynote address at his party’s convention. Rudy Giuliani is a fucking stupid rat-demon whose pathetic 5th place campaign couldn’t even make it past January after 12 months of exploiting, for political purposes, the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians whose safety he, as mayor of the attacked city, was supposed to protect. He really is the most appropriate symbol for the Republican convention that follows eight years of George W. Bush, although probably not for the same reasons that the speaker selection committee chose him. Anyway he had a conference call today and just completely bombed on it, because he’s fucking stupid.

OMG!!Each week, veteran Condiwatcher Peter Huestis (also known as Princess Sparkle Pony) provides a summary of the searing wit and infinite wisdom of America’s Favorite Princess Diplomatâ„¢!

It was a superfun Condiweek, starting off with festive drinks in Dubai and ending with an apparently drunken farewell to an old friend. In between was another OMG SURPRISE! trip to Iraq and a frightening encounter with a dangerous bird. Relive the magic after the jump!

Hillary Reams Bush About Oil

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

Isn't that preciousHillary Clinton added to the humiliation of Bush’s recent unsuccessful attempt to get the Saudis to give us more oil during the debate last night, telling the 5 people watching “President Bush is over in the Gulf now begging the Saudis and others to drop the price of oil. How pathetic.” Her plans, by contrast, would be to reform the American economy to be more green; get workers into “green collar jobs,” by which she probably doesn’t mean landscaping; and to move us “towards energy independence” which would do absolutely nothing about oil prices in the short- to medium-term but sounds really good at the debate. And, naturally, she’ll never go make nice with the Saudis when she’s President, because that’s just pathetic. [AFP via Breitbart]


Thanks for the Bombs, You’re Not Getting Our Oil

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

I could've sworn goos stepping was out of fashionOne short day after George Bush made official his intention to sell $123 million worth of precision-guided bombs to the Saudis and Congress all but said it didn’t care, the Saudis have announced that, unsurprisingly, they don’t really care if our gas prices are a little bit high.

Bush: “I’m… a… warmonger”

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

AP080115016513.jpgPeacemaker in Chief President George W. Bush got all introspective at a sword party in Saudi Arabia today, having some things he just needed to get off his chest. “I’m sure people view me as a warmonger, and I view myself as a peacemaker,” George told a friendly crowd of feudal Arab lords, astutely identifying the difference of opinion that exists on this issue.

A Children’s Treasury of Funny Wire Photos From Bush’s Trip to Saudi Arabia

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

bushtrip4.jpgPresident George Walker Bush spent his Tuesday in Saudi Arabia (they finish Tuesday earlier over there because the sun comes at different times), and boy boy boy did he have a whale of a time. He got to watch ponies dance, play with curvy fun swords, look at magical books that brown people read — why the Saudi King even let him try on some pretty dresses! Those lovable wire photographers at the AP caught it all, so check out party pix after the jump. MORE »


2007: Awkwardest Condiyear EVER

Monday, December 31st, 2007

OMG!!Each week, veteran Condiwatcher Peter Huestis (also known as Princess Sparkle Pony) provides a summary of the searing wit and infinite wisdom of America’s Favorite Princess Diplomatâ„¢!

Listicles, of course, are the year-end gift writers give themselves. But you know what? It’s been such a peculiar year for the Condibot that it would be totally criminal not to look back and reflect on its thrilling awkwardness. Join me on an epic journey through my personal (hey, get your own column!) favorite special moments in Dr. Ferragamo’s 2007, and my picks for AP’s Condirazzi photos of the year, after the jump…

Post-Holiday Giving

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

Bombs, bombs everywhere and some people don't have enough to eatBush would like Congress to approve the sale of Joint Direct Attack Munitions (like the ones pictured) and other weapons worth $20 billion to Saudi Arabia, but he’s not going to officially ask them to do so until January 15th, 2008 so they can enjoy their holidays without having to make hard decisions and crap. A bipartisan group of Congressman promised to oppose the sale unless the Saudis assured us it would never use the weapons against our troops or Israel. It’s a good thing they come loaded with Mission Impossible-style self destruct modules.. oh, they don’t? I guess it’s good, then, that the Saudi regime is so totally stable that $20 billion in weapons couldn’t possibly outlast it. [The Hill]


Laura Bush: Islamofascist Ass Kisser

Friday, October 26th, 2007

LauraBushScarf.jpgSo Laura “Crazy Eyes” Bush was traipsing around the Middle East this past week, adorably pretending to care about dangerous terrorist women’s breasts because… well, because she’s basically taken over both Condoleezza Rice’s and Karen Hughes’ jobs. At one stop, somebody got sick of looking at her head, so they handed her a scarf and, OMG, she put it on! OUTRAGE! Why does the first lady hate America? Think Progress has a superfun roundup of all the moaning and hand-wringing. My favorite: MORE »


Laura Bush Suddenly Thinks She’s A Big Deal

Monday, October 15th, 2007

For seven long, horrible years, we could at least count on Laura Bush staying out of the way and letting her clever husband and his henchmen destroy the planet. She was like the Mrs. Cleaver of Hell — and America slept just a little better knowing that the various Bush family members knew their place, if nothing else. We wouldn’t wake up to learn Laura hadn’t bombed Iran or flooded New Orleans. But in the awful twilight of the Bush Administration, it appears our First Lady of Oppression is no longer content to load up on Xanax and smile creepily through the president’s speeches. Meet the new, activist first lady. MORE »
