LOL

Dutch Comedy Central has some behind the scenes takes of former presidents Clinton & Bush preparing for the Haiti aid speech...

Intarweb comment of the day

James O’Keefe’s “gonna find out first-hand the alternate meaning of tea bagging.”

Hitler responds to the new iPad

Poll: majority of Islamofascicommie Hitler-lovers hate America

Overwhelmingly approve of Obama's SOTU address.

And by “Islamofascicommie Hitler-lovers” I mean “Faux Nooze viewers.”

Bonus: In a separate poll, O'Reilly's viewers give Obama 94% approval.

Heh

"International arrest warrants have been requested for George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, George Tenet, Condoleeza Rice and Alberto Gonzales at the International Criminal Court, The Hague, Netherlands.”

“Professor of Law Francis A. Boyle of the University of Illinois College of Law in Champain, United States of America, has issued a Complaint with the Prosecutor for the International Criminal Court against the above-mentioned for their practice of ‘extraordinary rendition’ (forced disappearance of persons and subsequent torture) in Iraq and for criminal policy which constitutes Crimes against Humanity.”
I know, I know, but I can dream, can’t I?

Teabaggers turn on Palin for backing McCain

Mooselini not … well, shit, there’s nothing I can say here that won’t instantly Godwinize this post.

Sarah Palin supporters are divided over her commitment to endorse John McCain’s Senate reelection bid. Though some understand and support her decision, many Palin supporters have criticized her for the decision, even comparing her to that most dreaded of creatures: a RINO.
”Where was she in VA? Where was she in NJ? Where was she in Mass?

“Guiliani showed up in Mass because he knew what was at stake. Perhaps, Sarah was too busy talking to her agent about her Fox deal. Where the hell was Sarah?”
Ummm, on Hannity?

The party of no

Guess how many fiscally responsible Republicans voted for the pay-as-you-go budgeting rules. No, go ahead, guess.

Bill O ready to dickslap Fux cronies with wet falafel

Loofah-abusing a-hole having a conniption-fit over his fellow dirtbags:

Bill O'Reilly is said to be deeply displeased that world-class anus Sean Hannity got to interview Sarah Palin before him.

He was reported to have had a "hissy fit" when Hannity got the first interview.

O'Reilly is also said to be upset that Glenn Beck is closing in in the ratings.
”There’s only room for ONE gigantic lying weasel here, and that’s me!”


Above: the fuckwit, in happier days.

Rethugs hold meeting in foreign and elitist country

Why do they hate America?

Republicans delight in depicting President Obama as hopelessly out of touch with average Americans, but the decision by the Republican National Committee to hold its winter meeting at an exclusive tropical resort is turning the accusation on its head.

[A]t a moment when millions are out of work and millions more struggling to get by, the party’s governing board is on the island of Oahu, sipping drinks poolside, catching rays on the beach that abuts the villa and raising questions about whether they’re as politically tone-deaf as they accuse the president of being.
Oh, but it's not all sunshine and pina coladas by the pool. No, no, no.
"Relax," RNC Chairman Michael Steele said while sporting a Hawaiian shirt, a flower lei, a big-busted blonde and a pina colada. "We're working hard here, trust me. This is not a vacation."
Wink wink nudge nudge. With “wheh de white wimmin at?” pic:

Criminal too criminal even for rethuglicans

Salt Lake County GOP bumps erstwhile hero/teabugger James O’Keefe from giving the keynote address at their annual fundraiser after his arrest: "He doesn't necessarily represent the Republican Party."

Necessarily. Well, maybe they can still get "Joe” the “Plumber”, who’s only cheated on his taxes.

Not-so-breit criminal an irony-deprived hypocrite

Matt Drudge's bitch Andrew Breitbart, after happily convicting ACORN without charge or trial, complains that James O’Keefe won’t be able to get a fair trial due to those meanies on twitter.

Bonus: he totally flips out on national TV.

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

From here.

Heh. Wonder if he’ll put together another legal defense fund for his wonderboy.

I did not have sex with that wo…

Drudge dickholder Andrew Breitbart – who tried repeatedly to tie Prez Obama to ACORN -- 'would like you to know that although he purchased his "life rights," hired him as a contributor, and pays him a large annual salary, he's not associated with James O'Keefe in any way, shape, or form.'

Headline from Fark. Actual story here.

Poll: US a nation of Islamohomofrancofascist socialist commies

Obama's speech was a big hit with the American people, Hitler.

A large majority of Americans who watched President Obama's State of the Union Address generally approve of the proposals he outlined in his speech, according to a CBS News Poll conducted online immediately after the President's address.

Of the randomly selected 522 speech viewers questioned by CBS, 83 percent said they approved of the proposals the President made.
I hope Boehner's crying again.

Jerk says something stupid again

Chris Matthews on the SOTU: “I forgot he was black tonight, for an hour.”

Comment on the interweb: “I facepalmed myself so hard when he said that even I forgot the President was black.”


I suppose he meant well, but still.

Andrew Breitbart a criminal, according to Andrew Breitbart

BradBlog:

So if ACORN itself is "guilty" for something or other, based on what some of their employees did, what does that make rightwing faux "journalist" and Matt Drudge poodle Andrew Breitbart, who has now admitted that accused felon James O'Keefe worked for him?

Even if we stipulate that Breitbart was not paying O'Keefe to break the law, its clear that ACORN was not paying its workers to break the law either --- at least no evidence exists to demonstrate otherwise. And yet, ACORN has long been charged by Breitbart, and Hewitt himself (a long-time leader in the GOP's phony "Democrats are committing massive voter fraud through ACORN!" movement), as being a "criminal organization" for having employed those workers who did break federal law by committing voter registration fraud in order to continue receiving their "fair salary."

So, again, if ACORN is "guilty" for all of that, what does that make Breitbart?
A hypocritical asshole? An odious, Drudge-humping cumbubble? A should-have-been-strangled-at-birth twathole? A fucking idiot? A lowlife gasbag? Much more at link above.

Poll: majority of Americans hate America

A new survey by NBC and the Wall St Journal shows that more people blame repuglicans than any other group for the country’s clusterfuckathon:

When it comes to dealing with the problems facing America, who do you blame in not finding solutions to those problems?

The do-nothing obstructionist Republicans in Congress: 48%
The lily-livered Democrats in Congress: 41%
President Obama: 27%
Yes, the “resurgent” republicans.

Traditional family values

An editor of the conservatard New York comPost is being sued for being a typical conservatard. Well, up to the point that it involves women.

Curling up like a frightened armadillo not included

Senate Dems’ unveil their new strategy: make opponents go on record on issues such as Prez Obama's citizenship status, the constitutionality of health care, whether Social Security and Medicare represent socialism, and if America should be run by a black Islamosocialofascistic commie who loves Hitler.

Rethug family values

Mooselini spawn Bristol Palin is demanding $1750 per month child support and sole custody of her 1 year old son from Levi Johnston, who "is a part of the family ... I think he needs to know that he is loved and he has the most beautiful child and this can all work out for good." Uh, yeah.

Fox Fraudcasting "hero" arrested

The FBI has arrested conservaturd fapboy/anti-ACORN pimp filmmaker James O’Keefe on a federal felony offense: Watergating a Democratic Senator. Excuse me while I go bust a gut laughing.

James “Nixon” O’Keefe, who won a major award as Republican Savior from his fellow rethuglicans, was among four men who were arrested Monday and accused of plotting to wiretap the New Orleans offices of Sen. Mary Landrieu.
Bonus: it wasn’t just the Senator’s office they tried to bug. It was the main phone system of the federal building in downtown New Orleans, which includes

The Federal Public Defender
Hyatt Regency-New Orleans
Senator Mary L Landrieu
United States Government Courts: Clerk's Office
US General Services Administration
US Pretrial Services
US Probation & Parole Office
US Secret Services

Bwwwahahahahaha! Best comment from the web:
I guess his next project will be "Exposing the Homosexual Agenda in the Federal Prison System."
Bonus flashback: 31 House Representatives honor a domestic terrorist:
"Rep. Pete Olson today introduced a resolution in honor of Hannah Giles and James O'Keefe III for their diligent investigative journalism exposing the fraudulent and potentially illegal activities of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now or ACORN."
Hee! Well, now they can honor him for exposing the fraudulent and illegal activities of conservatards, right? Not bloody likely:
”[Y]et today, in light of these deplorable and illegal attacks on the office of a United States senator by their champion, Republicans have not offered a single iota of disgust, a whisper of indignation or even a hint of outrage."
As par for the course, O’Keefe’s boss Andrew Not-So-Breitbart disavowed all knowledge. From Talking Points Memo (mostly):
Once we heard that O'Keefe got clipped, we wondered whether this was another job for Andrew Breitbart who published O'Keefe's ACORN videos. We just got hold of him and he responded: “Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Eeeeeeeeeee eeeeee eeeeeeeeee!!!!1!, adding,”Liberal conspiracy!!1!!” and "I need to find information on this. I'm out of the loop on this. I will make my determination then on when to comment."
I bet. A hysterical headline from Think Progress made me lol:
“Fox News Devastated Over Arrest Of ACORN Pimp, Says The Story Probably Needs ‘A Lot Of Context’”
Right. Rule of law! Rule of law!

Rethuglicans hate Jewish people

You know who else hated Jews?

Rather than admit that the leader of their pathetic, hateful party was wrong, rightwingers defame the head of the Anti-Defamation League.. Warning: level of hatred is almost off the charts. Link.

With his wife out of the way, Karl Rove is finally free to marry Jeff Gannon in Argentina

"It happens that this is Rove’s second divorce. Plus, Rove’s father was gay. And the timing is interesting… In right-wing circles, where rumors harden into facts at their first exposure to air — where, to cite just one example, Pres. Obama is a socialist-fascist Muslim who was born in Kenya and/or Indonesia — there is enough here to qualify as a 'solid rumor' that Rove is secretly gay and has left his wife for a famous erstwhile male escort.

"Where there is smoke there is fire, or so they say, and with all these stories floating around, Rove needs to step up and come clean about his relationship with this former prostitute. He should avoid the mistake of letting the story fester on the Internet as Glenn Beck has done by refusing to discuss his role in the rape and murder of a young girl in 1990."

So Apoplectic I Could Just Defecate

President Hopey McChangie has got our backs!!

“Let me tell you, so long as I have the privilege of serving as your president, I’ll never stop fighting for you,” Obama said at the beginning of a town hall meeting with voters Friday.

Bipartisanship

This is why we can’t have nice things, people…

”Republicans refuse to join bipartisan budget deficit panel, on the grounds that fixing the problem would make the Democrats look good”
-- from Fark.com. Actual story here, via No-Shit Daily.
Top Republicans on Wednesday were hostile toward President Obama’s plan to create a bipartisan commission on cutting projected deficits, raising doubts about the prospects of a main piece of his budget strategy.
Yes, even though “out-of-control spending is scaring the hell out of the American people,” repuglican rep John Boehner will not lift a finger to help. The Party of No, ladies and gentleman. The Party of No who keeps weeping that they’re not being included.

Oh, see also “House minority leader warns his party against working with Democrats” at Politicon, from earlier today. House minority leader warns his party against working with Democrats. Yeah, we’re looking at YOU, Massholes, and all you miserable little pantywaists in the media whining how the Prez is shutting out rethugs. Fuck you.


At press time, the article title had changed to 'John Boehner says ‘no’ to scaled back health bill'. But Boehner is still a dick.

Krugman, Superman: what’s the difference?

Yes, another article from the Politicon. But it’s got Paul Krugman! And Firedoglake!

Paul Krugman’s announcement that he is near to “giving up” on President Barack Obama is fueling a new round of iberal revolt.

“Progressives are desperately in need of leadership; more specifically, House Democrats need to be told to pass the Senate bill, which isn’t what they wanted but is vastly better than nothing. And what we get from the great progressive hope, the man who was offering hope and change, is this,” Krugman wrote, directing readers to Obama’s comments in an interview with ABC News on Wednesday seemingly advocating a scaled back health bill.

Teabagger, domestic terrorist

After Tea Party "hero’"s arrest on forcible rape charges, subsequent search of his home uncovers grenade launcher stolen from US military base.

More incriminating evidence against Dyer has surfaced in a YouTube video. The video shows Dyer, a former U.S. Marine, talking proudly about domestic terrorism. “Join the military?”, said Dyer. “Depends on what you want to do with it. Me? I’m going to use my training and become one of those domestic terrorists that you’re so afraid of from the DHS reports.”
I’m sure he was taken out of context by the libtard media.

Yeah, but can they jump?

Underrepresented and oppressed whites form all-white basketball league, are set to goosestep across the country. Bonus asshattery: they’ve called themselves the All-American Basketball Alliance. Best comment from the web: “They won't have very good peripheral vision with their robes on.”

“Would you want to go to the game and worry about a player flipping you off or attacking you in the stands or grabbing their crotch?” commissioner Don Lewis said, spitting wet chaw onto the reporter’s brogans. “That’s the culture today, and in a free country we should have the right to move ourselves in a better direction.”
”We’re not racist. We just don’t want to be knifed by drugged-up Negros.”
The Alliance announced that it intends to start its inaugural season in June and hopes Augusta will be one of 12 cities with a team.

"Only players that are natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league," the statement said.
Oh good grief.

Bush/Cheney misadministration violated civil liberties

This just in, from Duh! News: The FBI faked terror alerts to obtain thousands of phone records, say they were just following the example of resident Bush. Who also faked alerts, usually around election time.

The FBI fabricated terrorism emergencies to obtain thousands of phone records between 2002 and 2006, it's been revealed. Washington comPost and New York Times journalists were among the targets…

As well as fabricating emergencies, FBI counter-terror investigators obtained phone records by simply leaning on operators, getting approval after the fact with blanket authorisations.
Counter-terror specialists terrorizing citizens and creating “emergencies.” But it’s Comrade Commisar Hitler Obama who is destroying America.

Sweet merciful crap

I can’t believe how people can be so fucking stupid. Oooooh, Obama didn’t fix in one year those eight years of Bush/Cheney mismanagement and gross assfuckery! Let’s vote in another rethuglican! They’re only the ones who helped cause this problem in the first place!

Jeebus Christ on a unicycle. Yeah, let’s send the President a message! Vote in the same fucking morons that got us into this mess! Oooh, we didn’t like Croakley’s campaign style – Brown’s was so much more shiny! He’s GOT to be the better candidate!

Good jorb, twats.

O’Reilly laments that you can’t make fun of sand niggers anymore

Falafel-abusing a-hole Bill O’Reilly and “right of Attila the Hun” has-been Ray Stevens discuss Stevens’ compassionate conservative novelty songs, including “Ahab the Arab,” an insulting ditty filled with fake Arabic chanting, camel noises, and some veiled bint laying around gorging her yap while waiting to get porked by some towel-headed, jewel-encrusted, scimitar-wielding “AY-rab.”

STEVENS: That was ‘62. [The Council on American-Islamic Relations] wasn’t around. You know, there wasn’t evil or an intent in that song except for fun.

O’REILLY: Right. I’ll agree with anything you say, you’re a republican.

STEVENS: And, you know, as a kid I read “Arabian Nights.” I was a big fan of the whole culture. And so I wrote this song as a comedy song just for fun.

O’REILLY: So 48 years ago — 48 years ago in this country we could make fun of Arabs. … We could make fun of people in a general way, and certainly, Ahab was the Arab was a general parody. But now, we can’t. What has changed in America?
Next: we remember the good old days when we could call Jews “kikes” and hang Negroes.


Good fucking god.

Rush, Robertson take heat for remarks being Rush and Robertson

Two of the biggest assholes on the planet are getting righteously blasted for their callous comments regarding the devastation in Haiti.

The insensitivity is stunning,” says former Republican congressman.

Critics from both the left and right are denouncing their remarks as insensitive to the disaster and attempts to score political points off human tragedy.

Speaking on his radio show Wednesday, Limbaugh said the earthquake has played into Obama’s hands, allowing the president to look “compassionate” and “humanitarian” while at the same time bolstering his standing in both the “light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country.”

He added: “We've already donated to Haiti. It’s called the U.S. income tax.”

While Limbaugh received a modicum of support [from Newsbusters], nobody of note has stepped up to defend Robertson.

Now watch this drive

At the urging of President Obama, that epitome of responsibility and compassion, George Wuhhh Bush, will get off his lazy fucking keister and join former president Bill Clinton to help lead the US relief effort for earthquake-devastated Haiti.


Because we all remember how well that worked the last time…

Today’s repug pout-rage

Last year: Obama is giving press conferences. Doesn't he have anything more important to do?

Today: Obama has gone six months without a press conference. How dare he?!?

Next week: Obama is giving press conferences. Doesn't he have anything more important to do?

"I don't see one on the schedule, at least in the short term, which is precisely what I said," Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said, adding, "The last time we had this conversation here about the president's media strategy, I was informed by many of you that the president was overexposed. So blow me."
Well, he should have.

‘They’re just making shit up!’

Fox Noise comes under fire for publicizing a study they claim proves the Earth is moving into a 'mini-ice age'.

By the author of the study.

Mojib Latif, a climate expert at the Leibniz Institute at Kiel University in Germany, said he "cannot understand" reports that used his research to question the scientific consensus on climate change. "It comes as a surprise to me that people would try to use my statements to try to dispute the nature of global warming. I believe in manmade global warming.

"I don't know what to do. They just make these things up."
I don't know why shit like this continues to surprises me.

Thrice-married adulterer: “I’m the best candidate the Sanctity of Marriage Party has”

Go for it, jerkoff.

Serial horndog and egomaniac Newt Gingrich said Wednesday he considers himself among the top republican prospects for the 2012 presidential election. Which may just be true if the other candidates are Dippie McQuitter and Mike “I never met a convicted felon I didn’t like” Huckabee.

Weeping nutjob in catfight with ditz rival for airwave supremacy of stupid

‘Gotcha media’ now includes fellow Fuxer:

Recalling Katie Couric's famous 2008 question to Sarah Palin about which newspapers and magazines she reads, Beck [last night] asked Palin who her favorite Founding Father is. She gave the identical painfully awkward response: "All of them."
Even better, the actual quote was "You know, well, all of them, because they came collectively together with so much--"

To which Beck interrupted with "Bullcrap" -- and asked her again:

Obama apologizes to Haiti while secretly fistbumping, says turd

  • Haiti in Ruins; Grim Search for Untold Dead
  • Agony Sets In as Medics Focus on Survivors
  • Unimaginable Devastation: Death Figures in Flux After Haiti Quake
  • Haiti earthquake devastation 'immense'

    Then on planet Asswipe, there’s humanitarian Rush Limbaugh: ‘this Haiti thing was made-to-order for Obama, so he could boost his image with the coloreds’:
    ”I want you to remember, it took [Obama] three days -- three days! -- to respond to the Christmas Day fruit of ka-boom bomber ... He comes out here in less than 24 hours to speak about Haiti ... [snip] … they'll use this to burnish ahhh their, ahhh shall we say, ahhh credibility with the black community, both the light skinned and, ahhh, hmmm ... dark skinned black community ...”
    Good gravy, what a monstrous POS. And don’t get me started on “man of God” Pat Robertson, who Jeebus should have smited a long time ago.

    Instead of leaving it to Faux’s Shepard Smith:

  • Fox's Barracuda jumps the shark

    Clam. The HuffPo’s Warren Holstein:

    ”The end is nigh. Watching Bill Kristol's Eliza Do-nothing struggle to dress up her red-meat-tea-party talking points in snarkily delivered, barely comprehensible, pseudo-intellectual jargon on Fox News as she is coaxed by Bill O'Righty like an over-eager poodle pup, makes me think this Frankenditz might be the harbinger of the Rapture she's spent her entire charmed life preparing for.”
    No, come on, how do you really feel? : D

    Though most Fox hosts and contributors play dumb as to not come across to their audience as elitist arugula-eaters, Caribou Barbie is the real thing, says Leslie Savan:
    That's not going to happen to Palin. And anyway, real or faked, for Fox and the Republican Party dumbness in the name of demagoguery is no vice. Sarah Palin's ability to sit there with a straight face and say things so stupid that they break the sound barrier, leaving her opponents speechless, is a gift, not a failing…. At that moment, you could almost see a long line of older Republican men who helped her rise in politics, beginning with former Alaska Governor Frank Murkowski and ending with John McCain, shaking their heads in shell-shocked disbelief.

    Journamalism

    Today’s political “reporting” consists of petty, catty, gossipy, trashy sniping through anonymous, accountability-free attributions with moist ties to Cheney’s dick. Glenn Greenwald:

    ”As The Nation's Chris Hayes so perfectly put it: ‘Just when you think the news cycle can't get any stupider, Mark Halperin publishes a book.’

    “As this book and the excitement it has produced demonstrates, providing that distraction is exactly what our press corps most loves to do and what it does best. The media sleazebags who turned Bill Clinton's penile spots, cigars and semen stains into headline news for two straight years haven't gone anywhere; they're actually stronger and more dominant than ever.”

    Sarah Failin's Fox debut: Prime-time propaganda

    The continuing decline of civilization:

    What an awful politicization of TV news.

    O'Reilly introduced the newest star in the Fox galaxy Tuesday night as a "news analyst." If what Palin did in her debut is news analysis, I'm the governor of Alaska and I can see Russia from my backyard.
    "Nancy Pelosi," O'Reilly said to Palin, ".. do you think that she's a kook?"

    "I think she, too, is quite disconnected from what her constituents are telling her -- and constituents all over the country ..." Palin replied, before O'Reilly cut back in and upped the ante on Pelosi as "kook."

    "Well, she's a San Francisco liberal," O'Reilly said. "But do you think she's actually crazy?"

    "I doubt that her San Francisco constituents even are enamored with her policies and with the guidance she is providing this country."

    "Is she further to the left in your opinion than Barack Obama?'

    "Perhaps so, yes."
    How would Palin know what Pelosi's San Francisco constituents think of her?
    Or her constituents all over the country?
    What a cart and pony show. O'Reilly is a TV master, Palin's a TV player, and together they are going to bring orgiastic TV delight to right-wing viewers...

    I forgot how Palin speaks in a grammar and syntax unlike anyone else on this planet, but you get the idea. And I'll tell you what: In a protected TV environment like the one Fox and O'Reilly skillfully provided for her Tuesday night, I think she could be a red-hot ratings winner. And the country and our political conversation are going to be the poorer for it.

    An Irish bookmaker offering odds on how long Sarah Palin will last at Fox "News" says about half of betters believe she will be gone in a year.

    Fox announced Monday that Palin has a "multiyear contract" as a pundit. But the odds on Paddy Power are 8-1 that she will be gone by Sept. 1, 10-11 that she will depart between Sept. 1 and Dec. 31 and 11-10 that she will still be on the Fox payroll in 2011.

    Ari “the Liar” Fleisher, who unabashedly lied his way through the most dishonest misadministration evar, was the perfect person to handle steroid-enhanced liar Mark McGwire’s “confession” that he was a lying sack of shit and involved in illegalities. Oh, and lying to Congress.

    [F]ormer George W. Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer was involved in helping McGwire craft his message for his media blitz yesterday, and said the campaign was very controlled to cast McGwire in a favorable light.

    [Brian Burwell of the St Louis Post-Dispatch] also explained that he had seen or heard three interviews that McGwire gave, observing that McGwire cried in the same places in all three interviews, undermining his believeability.

    Matt Lauer's head almost forcibly removed

    "Today Show" host Matt Lauer saw his life pass before his eyes yesterday when angry codger John McCain snapped at being asked about Sarah Failin, choice of oatmeal.

    Was it true, Lauer asked, that the vetting of Sarah Palin was so woefully inadequate that no one from the campaign traveled to Alaska to interview her husband or any of her political opponents?

    "I wouldn't know," McCain said.
    He wouldn't know???
    Somewhat taken aback, Lauer told McCain that he found it "somewhat surprising" that he didn't know anything about the vetting process, adding "You were the presidential candidate."

    McCain testily shot back by saying that he had no intention of "looking back over what happened over a year ago," adding, "I'm sorry, you'll have to get others to comment on it."
    Brrrrrrrrrrr.
