When your war strategy — which seems entirely constructed to make you look like Vladimir Putin’s bitch, and to make John Kerry look more confused and out of his depth than normal — along with the lockstep “progressives” (and John McCain) who support it (this after years of anti-war leftists building paper mache Bush puppets and demanding proof of WMD stockpiles), are being parodied by Chicago’s own Second City, you just maybe have lost a bit of your Messiah’s Edge.
But take heart. Even though some erstwhile liberal “comedians” are coming after you, Mr President, the bulk of Hollywood is going to stay quiet and have your back. Otherwise, they fear they may come off as “anti-black”.
Because racism, you see.
Because liberal paternalism.
Because the soft bigotry of low expectations.
Because Obama!
(h/t Guido)
It’s fitting. Obama is the soft bigotry of low expectations.
Speaking of Maverick, Mother Jones made a funny.
Map: All the Countries John McCain Has Wanted to Attack
While I’ve come to believe the O’s actions are deliberately designed to destroy the U.S. as penance for its sins, this last bit has me flummoxed. I have a hard time believing an administration could look this incompetent on purpose.
That’s good, Pablo. Angry McCain’s. Heh.
This is so spot on it’s hard to believe it was actually made by liberals. How comedians and shows like SNL have been able to ignore all of the low-hanging fruit these past 5+ years of the Obama admin (and creepy OFA campaign, such as Jim Messina’s selfie with his hand over his heart) I’ll never understand.
“Hey, but, but, OSAMA BIN LADIN! Right? Huh? Huh?”
McCain: Obama should weigh bombing Syria without congressional approval
It’s time Maverick had a big ol’ stroke.
McCain makes me wish we’d bring back dueling.
“And, and, NOBEL PEACE PRIZE! Don’t forget NOBEL PEACE PRIZE!”
Obama has surrounded himself with incompetents, fools, and America-haters: Joe Biden, Susan Rice, Samantha Power, John Kerry, Valerie Jarrett, and Chuck Hagel (am I leaving anyone out?).
Would you trust any of these people to take care of your kid(s) for a day let alone run a war?
You know what? No offense intended to those who find this interesting, but I just flat do not.
Conservatives must have no idea how they are perceived. I don’t know how to say this other than conservatives don’t do satire and it reflects on all Americans.
Give up.
Too fucking ernest. The thing about satire is you act like the ridiculous world is normal, you do not with every breath say, “I’m doing satire, I’m doing satire, I’m doing satire, I’m doing satire, I’m doing satire.”
You must draw us into your world, leave it to us to detect your cosmology is off. I realize this is difficult to do when reality tracks to closely to satire, but that is the job. If you are advertising the whole way through from the very beginning to end to ensure that no-one no matter how stupid can misunderstand and be offended, and possibly sue, well, that’s the job of the satirist, and that attitude if that is the operative attitude that wrecks all conservative humor, then that is just so uniquely American that makes us unsuitable to even attempt being funny.
Take it to heart. Be absurd, be rude, be offensive, but for Christ’s sake, do not be so obvious.
Don’t be sad.
Democrats are worse. Their axioms worn out. Cynicism, projection, denial, psychic partitioning, misrepresentation, all that substituting for humor, no matter how amusing initially wears thin fast except when you’re stupid and except when you’re mean-spirited and emotionally damaged, that deadpanning cynicism never gets old.
Leaving anyone out? Eric Holder, earlier Reverend Wright, Frank Marshall Davis, Bill Ayers, Janet Napolitano, John Holdren

Don’t think this is conservative produced though. Sure, some conservatives approve of lefties cutting lefties, but heck, why not?
By way of Insty, Stanley Kurtz: This Was a Samantha Power Speech
Looks to me as though Stanley may be on to something firm. If he is, then twist of humanitarian intervention-wise, it might be better for the humanitarian causes were Samantha Power put down for a dirt nap, so humanitarian prospects could improve in the future. We can be reasonably certain that such measures were not what Samantha had in mind though.
“And, and, NOBEL PEACE PRIZE! Don’t forget NOBEL PEACE PRIZE!”
Just like Arafats!
if captain food stamp ever needs to use force for real he’s not going to have any credibility over and above what McCoward, Boehnerfag, and Princess Lindsey can muster at the time
this is not good but whatever it’s not my fucking problem
There’s another Susan in there somewhere and don’t forget the all powerful Kathleen.
I’m wrong Barr is gone.
Yeah, John Stewart would never telegraph his satire by mugging for the camera or anything.
