A: Obama. Leafing through the New York Times. While sitting on a sunburned zebra.
Seriously, people. These things are starting to write themselves.

How long before the Obama Permanent Campaign hires this animator to do their TV ads?
It is May Day bitches, and Obama has an election to win!
Leafing, not reading. If it’s not an article with pictures or an article about him (he prefers articles with pictures about him), he’s not too interested, is he?
Watch this drive.
This is objectively racist. Denounced.
Denounced and condemned.
FORWARD! … INTO THE PAST!
Our New Regressivism
Sorry. I was trying for a “Firesign Theater” moment.
I’m getting old. Sod.
I gotcha, batboy. We oldsters need to stick together.
Shoes for Industry! Shoes for the Dead!
VDH rocks again, Lee.

Denounced and condemned.”
But is it indefensible?
Totally a coincidence. I don’t get the big fuss. In the meantime, I think I’ll go fly my new big red kite because I’m feeling a totally Righteous Wind.
That is one of my all-time favoritist NYT crossword clue: black and white and red all over, with no question mark to indicate an amusing stretch, the solve was PRAVDA.
Pull over. I think I need to throw up.
Lybd -I hurled too
LYBD: that link has finally made me understand what Obama meant by “most transparent administration ever”.
It certainly is.
Jugears is “speaking” to the Troops via teleprompter from an undisclosed location.
Probably the WH basement.
Here’s some Mylanta, JD
Ya know, for all Dubya’s faults, he truly loved the folks in (or who’d worn) the uniform.
Quietly showed up on Thanksgiving or Christmas in Iraq of Afghanistan, picked up a tray of turkey & stuffing, and sat down to eat and shoot the shit with the troops.
A few photos, sure.
But for this asshole?
When the DevGru SEALs/ CIA guys/ SOAR pilots & their air crews pulled it off, well, shit. It was all “I” and “my”.
“I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority . . . even as I continued our broader effort. . . . Then, after years of painstaking work by my intelligence community I was briefed . . . I met repeatedly with my national security team . . . And finally last week I determined that I had enough intelligence to take action. . . . Today, at my direction . . .”
Had it all gone wrong? Guess who gets the blame? I’ll give you a hint, it ain’t king Barry.
A recently disclosed memorandum from then-CIA Director Leon Panetta shows that the president’s celebrated derring-do in authorizing the operation included a responsibility-escape clause: “The timing, operational decision making and control are in Admiral McRaven’s hands. The approval is provided on the risk profile presented to the President. Any additional risks are to be brought back to the President for his consideration. The direction is to go in and get bin Laden and if he is not there, to get out.”
Which is to say, if the mission went wrong, the fault would be Adm. McRaven’s, not the president’s.
And because his little Bill Clinton ad backfired and his dick is in the dirt, he’s off to Afghanistan to do the “we” thing.
Disgusting.
Liz Warren’s genealogy/ideology.
Here’s a nice companion piece to LYBD’s Mylanta. It’s worth a read if you haven’t come across it yet today.
Q: What’s black and white and red all over?
A: My groin during the crotch-hongo season? Somtimes?
I tend to believe there is a lot of truth in this “account“. The new prediction here is probably right on along with forgiving all those student loans the same month. Nice illustration too.
bh,
From JSOC to the Pentagon, to Langley, to Meade…I’d bet the umpires have all (privately, of course) thrown penalty flags on that jug-eared “look at me!” idiot for dancing in the end zone in front of the whole fucking world.

Violent projectile vomiting.
palaeomerus ,
As a non-boarded, unlicensed MD, I’m gonna go ahead and diagnose you with Swamp Crotch.
Avoid the tropics. And Houston, TX in July.
“most transparent administration ever”
It certainly is
Winner, winner. Chicken dinner.
Did anyone have the stomach to watch his speech on national tv?!
I didn’t. I just turned off the tv before the speech started and now I’m watching the NBA playoff game between Philadelphia and Chicago. I can’t even stand to see Obama’s bs dissected on O’Reilly, Hannity, and Greta.
Did anyone have the stomach to watch his speech on national tv?!
Nope.
Deadliest Catch and the finale of Top Shot are on tonight. I don’t wanna hear Barry doing that hiss thing he does with any words that have an “S” in them (actually, hear him say any words at all really), be pissed off for the night, and still throwing my nice stuff across the room when my shows come on.
I’ll read Treacher or Dave Burge’s twitter feed later tonight and get the gist.
Thank you for pretending I might be doing something other than watching porn or gambling.
Quite right, though. It’s all opera or charity work on the schedule for weeks, my good sir.
there was a speech?
here is a transcript
what a fucking farce if they’d known this cowardly whore would end up pissing all our efforts in Afghanistan away I don’t think hardly anyone would have supported this fiasco
here is a transcript
I listened to a whole 32 seconds (I’ll take a slow golf clap).
From that video? He could be speaking outside of a garage at Ft. Hood.
Remember that time Dukakis rode in a tank?
That was awesome. And worked out well for
himus.It is a farce but not a particularly fresh one.
Muslim Brotherhood meeting with the White House. Our strange allies in Libya. The Assad dark comedy. Obama’s old neighbors/babysitters/ghost writers leading freedom flotillas against Israel. That tape the LA Times won’t release.
First as farce, then as tragedy, we’re told. What about the 197th time?
on the picture on Drudge it looks like they made bumble hide behind these big armored thingies
I guess the Secret Service didn’t have a lot of confidence they’d secured the area
whores
Mr. bh you should list his vaunted Peace Prize thingy in there somewheres
it’s emblematic of his farceyness
I’m no expert, but that speech looked like it was shot in front of a blue screen. He looked super-imposed to me. Those humvees or deuce and a halfs behind him also looked about as real as wallpaper on a computer. The shadows were all wrong and the whole thing was static.
I’m not saying he didn’t go to Afghanistan, just that that speech could have been recorded weeks ago at any armory and no one would know the difference. I just hope the soldiers didn’t have to get up early to watch it. On the teevees. Maybe someone dvr’d it for them so they can all say bad things back to him at their leisure.
He wasn’t even in the room with the troops?!
Bh – don’t lie. Like me, after swimming 2 miles, you are watching Duck Dynasty
Happy, did he say if the Taliban still reserve the right to throw acid in the faces of little girls who dare to attend a school?
He covered that in our “Historic Agreement”, right?
and abide by Afghan laws…
I’d laugh, but Afghan laws is an awful joke.
Taliban…from foot soldiers to leaders – have indicated an interest in reconciliation.
An interest? A maybe? At a “reconciliation?” On who’s terms?
Gen. George Patton, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, and President Dwight D. Eisenhower were violently spinning in their graves, and thus, unavailable for comment.
it’s awful Mr. Lamont it’s got fuck all to do with American values and he knows it and he fucking loves it cause that’s just how anti-American Soros bitches like him roll
I haven’t watched a presidential speech in years. I allowed myself to overhear some of TOTUS’ inaugural logorrhea, but all I heard were platitudes. He had to have used up an entire Bartlett’s Quotation-a-Day calendar to write it.
That suddenly makes me think about an earlier post here today where Johan Galtung let loose his inner Nazi. He’s a Norwegian peace person, right? That might be a very small world. Wonder if there are any interesting connections between that sick fuck and the Norwegian Nobel Committee.
No he wasn’t, JD. The time in the chyron said 4:00am (Afghani time, I guess).
He supposedly spoke to them in person and there are pictures of his wearing a suit and talking into a microphone. At least he spared us the sight of him in a flight jacket this time. Pisses off all the pilots I know (especially the husband) when he wears that thing. It’s even embroidered with “Commander in Chief” over the breast pocket.
He’s such an ass.
I can’t be sure about this but I suspect that after swimming 1.5 miles I’d probably just drown. I could probably wind-swim a few dozen times until I threw up though if that ever becomes a thing.
I am sure the Taliban negotiate in good faith. Just like the Palis.
The wind sprints in the pool are Thursday mornings, bh. Good stuff. Puking underwater is less painful, and less embarrassing.
Does a slow walk to the larder count as a windsprint? ‘Cause by the time I get there, I’m for damned sure winded.
Uh, yeah. We didn’t do that 10 years ago. Fucking punk.
I’m glad you guys are into all this punishing exercise. I did high impact aerobics for years and years and my knees and ankles remind me every morning.
I figure flexability of spine is important at my age and some strength training. I don’t like to do a lot of weight, though, since I get a lot of definition in a hurry and I don’t need to look like a ripped Linda Hamilton in The Terminator anymore. Anyway, stretching and weight reps and walking the dogs are as hard core as I’m getting anymore.
The Mylanta isn’t working.
Veterans For A Strong America kicks Bumblefuck in the nads.
Bh – don’t lie. Like me, after swimming 2 miles, you are watching Duck Dynasty
If I could swim two miles…I’d have to be a duck…or some sort of thing that lives in the sea.
I like the duck, cuz it can swim the distance and then fly.
Some super heroes can’t do that.
Pr’olly a sin to shoot ’em, but man they taste good cooked right.
Pablo, that link was teh awesome.
It had flavor, texture, the right amount of spice, and the perfect blending of “you’re an undeserving asshole”.
It was delicious.
Pablo – what Lamont said. A good swift kick in the teeth, well deserved.
This time it sounds like the reward is real.
I should have said “self-serving” asshole.
But something tells me everybody here already knew exactly what I meant.
Motionview, if it was possible, Breitbart would’ve got it. Law? Pish-posh.
Shit is sealed up like Ft. Knocks.
How and why? Sorry mate, the likes of Woodward & Bernstein in “journalism” have shuffled clean off the mortal coil.
LMAO…uh, lemme try “Ft. Knox.”
I can’t even blame Firefox for that.
Speaking of Woodward and Bernstein, The New Yorker has been rattling the bones of Watergate in a long piece on Ben Bradlee.
Nixon’s dead, let him be.
If I could swim two miles…I’d have to be a duck…or some sort of thing that lives in the sea …
After the first mile, you kind of curl up in your pain cave, and go on auto-pilot.
That was one badass finale on Top Shot.
LYBD I thought maybe it was like Command College after the School of Hard Knocks or something. Maybe the jester could take over where the media ignores?
Happy
May DayLoyalty Day from Dear Leader.Those SF riots trashing 30 or so small businesses? Infiltrators and the cops.
Motionview, that guy is gonna get flagged for “spam” and get his account suspended at any minute.
After the first mile, you kind of curl up in your pain cave, and go on auto-pilot.
That’s the part where I can just say, “fuck it”, and drown, right?
Kidding. I’m “stalwart”. Happyfeet told me so the other day.
And, indeed. This was the best season of TS so far.
stalwart and true like a mount rushmore head
Don’t tease happy.
Cuz there’s still room on that thing.
I’m not National yet, but I rescued 3 puppies from a neighbors pool once.
And I didn’t eat a one of ’em.
Actually, the area whores were the only thing they’d secured.
Thanks, I’ll be here all week.
So when they backstab us in a couple years will it be unexpected or because we asked for it?
I like to plan ahead.
Not like a sphinxter head, though. )
(A closer look at the avatar, in case you might be curious. Dan Collins, bless his wickedish heart, captioned it ‘Sphinxter’.)
