2. I loved sadlyno.com
sometimes the comments are funnier than the posts, but they really stick it to the right wing pundits and blogs.

18. Thank you very mucho! Gotta love the Rude Pundit >>>




9/07/2007
Bush at APEC, OPEC, Whatever:
So while the Rude Pundit was trawling the cable news websites, filled with such fascinating factoids like that Hulk Hogan's son was given warnings for speeding (it's true), creating a masturbation fantasy about joining the mile-high club with the Hooters girl who wore a skirt deemed too short for the prigs at Southwest Airlines (Motto: "It's like the cheap seats on a train crossing Bangladesh, except with less goats"), the Rude Pundit came across the latest manly man quote from our fearless leader. Talking to the Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, upon arrival at the APEC summit, President Bush said, apparently in reference to how things went in Iraq, "We're kicking ass.

Just how eye-rollingly embarrassing can this President get? If you thought the answer was "pretty fucking," you be off by an adjective degree or two. Indeed, knowing that George W. Bush is our nation's leader is not unlike knowing that Jeffrey Dahmer's your brother: yeah, it stinks for you to have had a brother like Jeffrey; no, you never sucked the eyeballs out of a boy-corpse and then fucked the socket; and, really, it's better not to think about it whenever you can put out of your mind what you could have done to prevent all the death and depravity wrought by him. Ultimately, though, you just gotta shake your head and wish it would go away.

For, indeed, in speaking to an audience of business leaders at the Sydney Opera House, Bush may as well have shit himself and smirked while saying, "I pooped mah drawers." Not only did he call the APEC summit "OPEC," but he thanked the "Austrian troops" in Iraq, apparently longing for a time when someone like him might have been defended by the Austrian military. Then, as AP reports, "Then, speech done, Bush confidently headed out -- the wrong way. He strode away from the lectern on a path that would have sent him over a steep drop. Howard and others redirected the president to center stage, where there were steps leading down to the floor of the theater."

Shaking your head yet? Howzabout this little detail: "The event had inauspicious beginnings. Bush started 10 minutes late, so that APEC workers could hustle people out of the theater's balcony seating to fill the many empty portions of the main orchestra section below -- which is most visible on camera." Yep, the business people of Australia couldn't give a holy wallaby fuck about what Bush had to say.

Then there was the surprise bitch slapping by South Korea's Roh Moo-Hyun, who, at a press meet, confronted Bush over why the United States has not formally ended the Korean War, an act that Roh believes would make negotiating with North Korea a helluva lot easier. Bush, fumbling like a schnauzer with a hard-on trying to fuck a water buffalo, spat out something about North Korea needing to get rid of its nuclear program, which, as you know, was the cause of the Korean War. What must have driven Bush nuttier was when Roh pushed him for more information, saying, "If you could be a little bit clearer," to which, back in America, Congressman Henry Waxman said, "Good luck, Roh-man."

Another meeting with leaders of other countries, another rank humiliation, with Bush oblivious or just apathetic to how much he's walking around with piss stains on his pants, except now others are pointing out the wet marks to him. Bush, though, doesn't give a fuck. Why should he when his own nation doesn't seem to?

7. thanks! hysterical - excerpt >




Fred Thompson for Praysident!

I seen him on TV! He's avuncular! I wanna have a malted and a bourbon with him! I dunno what he stands for but goddamn I know his face and he ain't said anything I disagree with! Hell, he ain't said anything I agree with!

He plays a tough guy lawyer! He will be tough on Osama!

I bet he hates the French! I can't stand the French! The French flag is white! Their women don't shave their armpits! Their hats are flat and they have stems on 'em! They hate me! I know it!

But Fred Thompson is like Ronald Reagan! He was a Republican! He hated commies! Fred Thompson hates commies, too, I bet! I hate commies! Russians! Hate 'em!

I like Fred Thompson! He looks tough but tender like I think I imagine I remember my daddy looking when he wasn't hitting me with a sleeve of Saltines® awake every morning before school! I would get really high and drunk the night before and then in the morning my daddy would hit me awake! And hard, too! "Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up!" he would yell with every swing of the sleeve of Saltines®! (I still sprinkle salt in my hair and lashes before I go out on a date, I tell you!). "I'm up! I'm up! I'm up! I'm up!" I would scream back! That's why I've always been a morning person! Rise and shine! Start the day! Like Fred Thompson starts his days! Daddy had to be tough! But then he was tender! I was lost! "You are lost!" he would shout! But boy did he find me! That's how I feel when I see the next praysident Fred Thompson!

He has a pretty wife! I want a pretty wife! She's blonde! I want a blonde pretty wife! I like pretty wifes!

Fred Thompson!

8. Here's one...
The blog of Canadian humourist Scott Feschuk is very funny.

For example, his hilarious take on Larry Craig titled "Smokin' in the Boys Room" is here:

9. lol! "Larry Craig’s timeline to immortality:"


• Craig enters a men’s room at the Minneapolis airport and proceeds to cast glances at a man through the crack of one of the stalls for roughly two minutes. With his actions he seems to be saying “I am in the market for some hot gay sex” or possibly “I have a sentimental attachment to that particular toilet, so step on it, would you?”

• The senator enters a neighbouring stall and places his roller bag up against the door to block the opening. Clever! None of the other men in this public washroom will suspect you are having hot gay sex if you somewhat block the view. They’ll just hear the sounds and think you’re both playing paddleball.

• Craig begins tapping his foot. According to police, this is consistent with the behaviour of a man angling for hot gay sex. It also explains why, for the better part of his adult life, Gregory Hines could rarely use the men’s room without the onset of a serious misunderstanding.

• The man in the other stall responds with foot-tapping of his own. Each man moves his tapping foot closer to the other’s, until the feet touch. At this point, it is understood that the men are on the verge of having sexual contact or, failing that, joining the cast of Stomp.

• Craig swipes his hand under the divider that separates the two stalls. The man in the other stall responds by reaching under the divider and flashing police identification. Any fleeting hope on Craig’s part that this is merely foreplay from the cop in the Village People is dashed as the undercover officer orders Craig to exit the stall.

• After being escorted to the airport’s police control centre, Craig hands the officer a business card identifying him as a member of the United States Senate. He asks: “What do you think about that?” The officer responds: “Well, I think you must be a Republican.”*

11. Ashley Morris: The Blog
http://ashleymorris.typepad.com

or better yet:

http://fuckmook.com

which should give you some idea where the Perfesser is coming from.

The New Orleans-based blog is in a twitter over Vitter, of course:

http://ashleymorris.typepad.com/ashley_morris_the_blog/2007/09/yow-yow-yow.html

http://ashleymorris.typepad.com/ashley_morris_the_blog/2007/09/larry-flynt-hea.html

but there's always time to skewer the "mooks" who dare trash New Orleans, or just look at AshMo the wrong way:

http://ashleymorris.typepad.com/ashley_morris_the_blog/2007/09/sometimes-i-j-1.html

http://ashleymorris.typepad.com/ashley_morris_the_blog/2007/09/ohso-thats-why-.html

And yes, the "KamaAina" who leaves comments there is the same one as here.

So pop open an Abita :beer: , if you're where you can get it, click, and enjoy!

Can Rep. McHenry's Hostel for Strapping Young Republican Lads survive this?

Mitch McConnell
Senate Minority Leader

Dear Sen. McConnell,

I'm going to be blunt. By buying into the libislamunistfascist spin about Larry Craig being a homosexual, you are destroying the party's ability to retake the Senate for decades to come. Larry Craig is not a homosexual. He's told us that. He's just as heterosexual as you and Lindsey Graham. You shouldn't have tried to force him to resign. He deserved to be treated the same way you treated Sen. Vitter, who admitted to breaking the law by paying a harlot to change his diaper--that is to say, you should have given Sen. Craig your full support.

I understand that after hearing stories about Sen. Craig sucking anonymous little soldiers in restrooms across this great nation, it's easy to jump to the conclusion that he might be dancing with Dorothy. But think about it. Isn't it just as likely that this very heterosexual married man was looking for something his wife was unable to provide for him: a hot, throbbing slab of hard salami to swallow? We've all been there haven't we? We want something that our wives can't give, so we exercise our patriarchal privilege to get it elsewhere.

But now that you've adopted the Democratic frame that such behavior is homosexual in nature, you've jeopardized the careers of a lot of good, anti-homosexual politicians who are also rumored to be looking outside their marriage for a little sausage slurping action, good men like Sen. Lindsey Graham, Representatives David Dreier and Patrick McHenry, and even yourself.

>I'm especially worried about Rep. Patrick McHenry. His name seems to be coming up a lot in connection with that GOP heterosexual naked wrestling triangle's murder-suicide investigation. One of the dead men, anti-homosexual political strategist and former executive director of the Georgia Republican Committee Ralph Gonzalez, was connected with a service that would send men to hotel rooms to help husbands get what they wanted. He is also said to have been Rep. McHenry's close personal friend, perhaps even a former guest of Rep. McHenry's Hostel for Strapping Young Republican Lads.

How do you expect him to explain himself if it comes out that he too loves to occasionally suck a little soldier in a completely heterosexual manner? You've pretty much sealed his fate, haven't you? Perhaps you've sealed your fate as well, and Grahams and Dreiers too for that matter.

Heterosexually yours,

Gen. JC Christian, patriot

21. we have more than enough concern-trolls right here at DU
"Cindy makes us look bad! MoveOn makes us look bad! Dn't get me wrong! I hate (Bush, the war, the republicans) as much as the next guy! But this (protest, ad, thread, position) makes us look bad!"

I see another one bit the dust last night. The mods are on it.
