Newdow on the roof

From the Sacramento Bee’s review of a one man musical play by controversial atheist Michael Newdow:

But [Newdow’s] budding musical career, which he put on display in a one-man show before a sparse audience Tuesday night, may be cut short by, of all things, lack of God-given talent.

Christ, do I wish I’d written that.

(h/t Angry Clam)

    It’s alright. Do you know why? Cuz we know you would have.

  2. thirdfinger says:

    I think I sense one of those “mysterious ways” thingys here.

  3. Murel Bailey says:

    Wouldn’t doing a review sort of imply you having to watch the God-awful thing? I imagine that would have been as much fun as adult circumcision.

  4. MarkD says:

    Further proof that there is a god.

  5. MC says:

    Uh, oh. Doesn’t this mean another suit from the ACLU against the SacBee is forthcoming? You know, by shaming him in public with a linkage to a pledge-like manifestation of the deity…

  6. Lou says:

    I have a picture in my mind of the one man dance routine done by the Big Lebowski’s landlord.

  7. Patricia says:

    Yeah, the writer is home lying in bed grinning, taking a long draw off his cigarette. wink

  8. richard mcenroe says:

    It’s a critic’s wet dream… sometimes they just hang that curve ball out there…

  9. Does anyone remember that production of The Diary of Anne Frank featuring Pia Zadora in the title role?

    Apparently she was so bad that when the Germans finally burst in to the house towards the end, the whole audience was shouting out “she’s in the attic!!!”

    No, me neither…

    Love on y’all,

    Roberta

    Mebbe you should end each of those missives with an appropriate tag…

    Just as a suggestion, may I recommend the always useful ‘{/linkwhore}’

    Mjusane hmmm

  13. ed says:

    Hmmmmm.

    @ Jeff

    ROFLAMO!  Oh shit man.  I snorted a half-cup of coffee reading that.  Coffee is definitely not improved by coursing through the sinuses.

    Jesus that’s funny.

    I like to be in America!

    OK by me in America!

    File legal suits in America!

    For a small fee in America!

    I like the city of San Juan

    As for a God there is not one

    I’m free but still do what I must

    To try to get rid of ‘In God We Trust’

  15. IWood says:

    Well, goddamn!

    And so on.

  16. richard mcenroe says:

    So is anybody else visualizing the episode of Will and Grace where Jack addressed the Supreme Court?

  17. McGehee says:

    Damn The Bee and its registration scheme! I’m traveling and have no Bugmenot so I can’t go see if the author is anyone I used to know.

  18. gail says:

    I am positively sick with envy. A review for the ages.

  19. Lost Dog says:

    Whoever wrote that review should get a Pulitzer.

    That is REALLY fucking funny….

  20. It was Blair Anthony Robertson, McGehee.

    Newdow should’ve thrown in a song about the evil Bushitler and his Undead Army of Jesusland, and he’d have had ‘em on their feet.  It’s all about knowing your market.

  21. Drumwaster says:

    Springtime for Bushitler and his Zionist McChimpyburton imperialist oil cronies, and Germany…

    (Man, I can just feel the Tony nominations rolling in…)

  22. JWebb says:

    Sparse audience might suggest tickets were purchased through American Express, in which we trust.

  23. “Mebbe you should end each of those missives with an appropriate tag… “

    I will if you come on over and look at my thigh, drumwaster. I have a feeling we’d hit it off once you get a look at the actual product…

    You see, a whore in real life and in link – what more could you ever want from a lady?

    Love on ya,

    Roberta {avaliable to whore at weddings, funerals and bah mitzvahs…… as long as she’s allowed to link there}

    They’ll be here sometime today

  24. McGehee says:

    It was Blair Anthony Robertson, McGehee.

    Egad. A kid trying to grow up in Sacramento with a name like that would’ve been tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail.

    To Woodland.

  25. It was Blair Anthony Robertson, McGehee.

    Poor little mite. Still, it could have been worse….

    They could have called him Tony Blair!

    You’ll need to be quick to catch a glimpse my legs! (before they close…)

  26. Fence-Sitting Atheist says:

    This is the first story I’ve ever read that caused me to question my atheism.

    I’m definitely thinking Judaism now—Newdow’s performance is so totally the work of a God with a sense of humor …

    Turing word “game”—God 1, Newdow 0

  27. Buddy Larsen says:

    West Side lyrics, Lebowski’s landlord, this is comic *fugue*….

  28. PacRim Jim says:

    Newdow should sue God for his lack of talent, but first he should sue him for not existing.

  29. AST says:

    I heard clips of him singing when he was on the Michael Medved program.  The Bee is too kind.

    This guy is trying to cash in on his notoriety, but there’s nothing except his arrogance and contempt for everybody else to make him famous.

  30. Mike says:

    Further proof that there is a god.<blockquote>

    Of course there’s a God, and he has a sense of humor.

    Hence idiots such as Michael Newdow.

    > I imagine that would have been as much fun as adult circumcision.

    Implimented like in the first season of Nip/Tuck, no less.
