Vice President Joe Biden’s surprise two-day visit this weekend to Iraq was meant to ‘re-establish contact’ with leaders here, but some Iraqis bristled at the messenger.
Vice Buffoon Biden is being shipped out to Iraq
Whenever you think this administration can’t get any more insincere, they go and surprise you. Like when President Obama named Vice Buffoon Joe Biden to head up political reconciliation in Iraq.
As Associated Press reports, “Vice President Joe Biden’s surprise two-day visit this weekend to Iraq was meant to ‘re-establish contact’ with leaders here, but some Iraqis bristled at the messenger.”
Why?
Because Biden had angered Iraqi leadership in the past by pushing a plan to partition the country into three separate semi-autonomous nations – one for Kurds, another for Shiites, a third for Sunnis – because he didn’t believe political reconciliation was possible.
In other words, he doesn’t believe in what he’s now been assigned to accomplish.
“I think, given his knowledge of the region, the number of times he’s been there, he’s perfectly suited for this type of role,” said White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, adding that the job would include frequent trips to Iraq.
Translation: President Obama said, “Somebody figure out a job that’ll get this moron out of the country as fast as possible.”
Kids in Crystal Defanti’s fifth grade class found a little something extra on the DVD she prepared. Yup, Mrs. Defanti screwed up (you’ll pardon he expression) and added a scene from a homemade sex video she made with her husband.
Imagine this scene. You sit down with your kids to watch a DVD review of their school year. Typical fifth grade stuff. The field trip to the museum. The school play. The teacher having sex.
Say what?
That’s right. Kids in Crystal Defanti’s fifth grade class found a little something extra on the DVD she prepared. Yup, Mrs. Defanti screwed up (you’ll pardon he expression) and added a scene from a homemade sex video she made with her husband.
Parents are horrified. The school board is outraged. Defanti is humiliated. But we think they all just need to relax. We’re glass-half-full kind of guys here at IHateTheMedia.com. We think they need to look at the positives that come from this mistake:
A lot more Elk Grove fathers will be attending parent-teacher conferences in the future.
Michael Jackson fanatics have been recently committing suicide because of the pop star’s tragic death.
The Sun UK reports that Michael Jackson fans are offing themselves a bit too often. Life without a grotesque child molester, it seems, just isn’t worth living.
According to Michael Jackson’s largest online fan club, MJ fanatics have been recently committing suicide because of the pop star’s tragic death.
The Sun is reporting that up to 12 die-hard Jackson followers have taken their own lives since his passing on Thursday.
In this case, “die-hard” was probably an inappropriate choice of words.
Barack Obama has a Presidential Approval Index rating of –3. These reflects the highest level of strong disapproval measured to date and the lowest level recorded for the overall Approval Index.
In the words of the Rasmussen Report:
“The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 33% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-six percent (36%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of –3. Those figures reflect the highest level of strong disapproval measured to date and the lowest level recorded for the overall Approval Index.”

Remember a few years ago when global warming lunatics claimed that hurricanes were certain to become far more frequent and far more destructive? Not this season.
Oops. The Goracle predicted more frequent hurricanes, more powerful hurricanes.
Remember a few years ago when global warming lunatics claimed that hurricanes were certain to become far more frequent and far more destructive?
To hear Al Gore tell it, you’d soon be able to boil an egg in the surf off Miami Beach.
Never mind.
We just started the sixth week of the 2009 hurricane season and the Atlantic has had no hurricanes, no tropical storms, not even a depression.
In fact, the only depression spotted so far in 2009 is among those same global warming lunatics.

Joe Biden told the troops in Iraq, “As corny as it sounds,” he said, “Damn, I’m proud to be an American!”
Joe Biden spoke at a naturalization ceremony in Bagdad on July 4
OK, Joe actually said this on July 4th, but it was a holiday weekend and we were busy gorging ourselves on hot dogs at our neighbors’ Independence Day barbeque and just got to this story. But in our defense, it doesn’t really matter when Joe said it because any day is a good day for a bon mot du Joe.
Biden stopped in at a ceremony at Camp Victory in Baghdad where 237 U.S. servicemen and women from 59 countries were proudly being sworn in as new American citizens.
Can you imagine what a thrilling, emotional moment that must have been for those brave men and women?
That’s when Joe Biden, the Vice President of United States of America, got up to add a few special words to the occasion.
“As corny as it sounds,” he said, “Damn, I’m proud to be an American!”
BigHollywood.com summed it up perfectly:
If there’s one person, in one scenario, who should never, ever feel that it’s corny to be proud to be an American, it would be:
• The Vice President of the United States.
• Surrounded by hundreds of U.S. servicemen and women.
• Who have just become U.S. citizens.
• In a war zone.
• On Independence Day.
• You stupid moron, you.
Craigslist replaces “erotic” ads with “adult” ads. Who can tell the difference?
Let's get those prostitutes off Craigslist and back on the street where the belong
Craigslist, the hugely successful classified advertising website, announced last month that it no longer offer “Erotic Services” advertising after critics said it was nothing more than a forum for prostitution.
Instead of finding their prostitutes in the “Erotic Service” section, Craigslist customers will have to figure out that they are now found in the “Adult Services” category.
Jim Buckmaster, chief of Craigslist, says they’re banning sexually explicit images (replaced with merely sexually stimulating images) and offers of sex for money. And he really means it, damn it. Oh, and to prove how serious they are, they’re going to double the cost of an ad from $5 to $10.
In order to hone our investigative reportage skills, we went to our local craigslist, clicked on “adult services” and then on “women looking for men” and here are a few of the “non-prostitution” ads we found this weekend:

New York Congressman Peter King isn’t shy about saying exactly what’s on his mind. In this case, he’s telling the media to stop the coverage of what Michael jackson, whom he calls a child molester, pervert, and pedophile.

We would never run a video with the language in this video, but creator Jon Lajoie nails the media’s disgust for, and then after his death, love for, Michael Jackson. if you can take objectionable language, it’s a must hear.
Normally, we wouldn’t run a video with the language contained in this music video. But creator Jon Lajoie nails the media’s disgust for, and then after his death, love for, Michael Jackson. If you can take objectionable language, it’s a must hear for anyone who is sick of the media coverage his death and funeral are receiving.
To give you an idea of the content, here is the chorus (he is speaking to the media):
Michael Jackson is dead, don’t pretend you give a sh*t,
you motherf***ing hypocrites, don’t forget what you said he did.
Michael Jackson is dead, no, you never gave a sh*t,
So why are you pretending, you motherf***ing hypocrites?
EXTREME WARNING: This video has very offensive language and subject matter. Do not watch if this will bother you.
The highlight of President Obama’s town hall meeting in Annandale, Virginia was when he called on Debby Smith, a cancer victim whose voice cracked and tears flowed as she told the President about her struggle with unemployment and lack of insurance.
The highlight of President Obama’s town hall meeting in Annandale, Virginia was when he called on Debby Smith, a cancer victim whose voice cracked and tears flowed as she told the President about her struggle with unemployment and lack of insurance.
The President called her forward, gave her a big ol’ bear hug and said he’d have his people look into it. It was a warm, tender moment except for one thing:
Debby Smith is actually an Obama campaign worker who had been surreptitiously planted in the audience. She’s a volunteer for a wing of the Democratic National Committee. She also works for the Virginia Organizing Project, which has been hyping health care forums around the state. A December news report revealed that Smith moderated a “a community discussion on health care issues” in Appalachia, Virginia and told her local paper that the meeting ‘would be reported back to former Sen. Tom Daschle, who has been directed by President Elect Barack Obama to form a committee to report on health care issues.’”
So how much help can Smith expect now that the President has told his people “to look into it”? Not much if recent history is any guide.
You may remember the name Henrietta Hughes. Her 15-minutes of fame began during the campaign when Obama called on her during another town hall meeting in Fort Myers, Florida.
Here’s how HuffingtonPost.com reported it:
One questioner in particular brought to life the dire situation. “I have an urgent need,” she said, revealing that her family was homeless and needed a place to live. Obama asked for her name — Henrietta Hughes — and told her, “We’re gonna do everything we can to help you…I’ll have my staff talk to you after the town hall.”
Apparently, talk is all she got from Obama’s staff. The HuffPo story continues:
…she did get the loan of a house owned by Representative Nick Thompson (a Republican), whose generosity was widely applauded. However, as soon as the house sells, Henrietta and her son may be out on the streets again. And lack of affordable housing is one of the major factors in homelessness.
Henrietta has actually received some help from homeless service organizations and some career help from the Career Center in Fort Myers. A few days ago, WINK News in Fort Myers did a follow up story on Henrietta. Not surprisingly, but still sad, is the fact that Henrietta still has no job and is running out of options. She has been taking computer classes, along with her adult son Corey, in the hope that they would be more qualified, but they are both in a job market that is likely filled with other applicants.
Bottom line: Barack Obama talks real pretty when the cameras are on, but doesn’t deliver. The only real help Henrietta Hughes received came from a Republican. She got nothing from the President but empty promises and that’s exactly what Debby Smith should expect, too.
But to end on a positive note, at least he treats us all equally.
Yes, we hate the media. And no part of the media works up our ire more than that vaunted bastion of liberalism, The New York Times.
It's always party time at the New York Times - Democratic party time.
Yes, we hate the media. And no part of the media works up our ire more than that vaunted bastion of liberalism, The New York Times.
You’ll see what we mean when you compare these excerpts from New York Times editorials about two different 5-4 Supreme Court decisions.
First is the except from Ricci v DeStefano, the recent firemen discrimination case:
The case is already being used as ammunition against Judge Sonia Sotomayor, President Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court, who sided with New Haven at the appeals court level. If the Monday ruling says anything about Judge Sotomayor, however, it underscores the reasonableness of her views…Four of the nine justices–including David Souter, whose seat Judge Sotomayor would take–agreed with the result she reached.
Now here’s what the Times said about another 5-4 decision in a case called Boumediene v Bush:
On Thursday, the court turned back the most recent effort to subvert justice with a stirring defense of habeas corpus, the right of anyone being held by the government to challenge his confinement before a judge.
The court ruled that the detainees being held in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, have that cherished right, and that the process for them to challenge their confinement is inadequate. It was a very good day for people who value freedom and abhor Mr. Bush’s attempts to turn Guantánamo Bay into a constitutional-rights-free zone. . . .
It was disturbing that four justices dissented from this eminently reasonable decision.
So is dissent is good or bad? Or is it only good when it comes from liberals and only bad when it comes from conservatives?
We’re so confused. Or maybe it would be more accurate to say the Times is confused.
2003: Democrats insist Medicare can’t be cut. Democrats insist Medicare must be cut.
When that cold-hearted son of a bitch George Bush wanted to make relatively modest cuts in Medicare, Democrats had a hissy fit. They said he was trying to to kill old people.
Now that The Greatest President In the History of The Universe wants to cut $622 billion from Medicare and Medicaid, Republicans are still cold-hearted sons a bitches. But now it’s for some reason we really can’t fathom.

Angela Merkel is playing President Obama like a fiddle. Germany has said, “Sure, we’ll take Gitmo detainees, but only if they have some ‘connection’ to Germany.”
al-Qaeda terrorists will be trading in their suicide vests for lederhosen if President Obama has his way.
Angela Merkel is playing President Obama like a fiddle. Germany has said, “Sure, we’ll take Gitmo detainees, but only if they have some ‘connection’ to Germany.”
So in an effort to get Germany to play along, the Obama administration has come up with almost laughable “connections” for two of the detainees. No, we take that back. They are laughable.
One of the detainees is a Tunisian who applied for asylum in Germany after entering the country illegally in 1996. He lived in Frankfurt and was known to the local police as a drug-dealer and petty criminal. He left Germany for Pakistan in 1999 just as German authorities were ready to give him the boot.
The second detainee is a Syrian who appeared in an al-Qaeda video in 2001 and announced that he was a candidate for “martyrdom.” No one outside the Obama administration can quite figure out what this model citizen’s connection to Germany might be other than the his own statement that he once sought asylum at the German Embassy in the United Arab Emirates.
C’mon, President Obama, you can do better than that. Surely, these guys have eaten at Wienerschnitzel. Or celebrated Octoberfest. Or chugged a Heineken. Or watched Patton. Or spent a wild weekend wearing leather lederhosen.
Hell, any of those would be closer connections to Germany than you guys conjured up.
New-vehicle sales in June fell 28% from a year earlier to 860,000 cars and light trucks
Great news!!! Car sales are only down 28% this month!!!
Great news from Detroit. The recession is over. Cars are going to start flying off the lot any day now. At least that’s what the big three carmakers are saying and the media is reporting.
The three biggest carmakers in America called a bottom to the long decline in U.S. auto sales as the industry reported its smallest monthly sales drop this year.
Just one thing. Don’t break out the champagne and confetti yet. Things aren’t as rosy as Detroit would have you believe. Get a little deeper into the story and you discover the truth:
New-vehicle sales in June fell 28% from a year earlier to 860,000 cars and light trucks, according to the market-research firm Autodata Corp. That would be the smallest decline in any month this year.
In similar news, the Japanese government announced that Hiroshima was actually an indication that they won World War II.
Only about 100 people showed up to hear Biden’s self-aggrandizing speech on the wonders of stimulus money.
The Vice President was greeted by his adoring fans
Poor Joe Biden. The garrulous veep traveled to a small town in Pennsylvania a few days ago to tell the bumpkins about the glories of federal stimulus money. He wanted the good folks in Erie to know that the Obama administration is bringing broadband internet access to rural America.
Apparently, no one cared.
Only about 100 people showed up to hear Biden’s self-aggrandizing speech. The room looked empty. So empty, in fact, that volunteers quickly began removing chairs in a futile attempt to make it look like a full house.
This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “moving the deck chairs on the Titanic.”
This tape, uncovered by the UK’s News of the World, shows Jackson being grilled by attorneys about child abuse allegations.
Yeah, we know we’re supposed to show respect for the dead, but that doesn’t change the fact that Michael Jackson always creeped us out.
This tape, uncovered by the UK’s News of the World, shows Jackson being grilled by attorneys about child abuse allegations.
The never-before-made-public video was recorded in 1996 after employees at Neverland Ranch sued Jackson. The unseen attorney questions Jackson about his relationship with several young boys – including Jordy Chandler, Mcauley Culkin, and Brett Barnes. Jackson responds by squirming in his seat, laughing nervously, groaning and burying his face in his hands.
It’s not known if attorneys for Bubbles the chimpanzee were given an opportunity to question Jackson.
You know there’s a problem when al Jazeera runs an opinion piece that criticizes President Obama’s weak-kneed support for Iranian democracy.
You know the world has gone insane when al Jazeera shows more support for democracy than the President of the United States does.
You know there’s a problem when al Jazeera runs an opinion piece that criticizes President Obama’s weak-kneed support for Iranian democracy.
Here are a few of the Arabic news service’s pithier comments:
Zinger #1: “It took two weeks of intensified government repression against protesters in Iran before Barack Obama, the US president, moved from cautious commentary to describing the crackdown as ‘violent and unjust.’”
Zinger #2: “Obama is acutely aware of the real reason why he cannot be too forceful in supporting the millions of Iranians demanding to have their votes counted. The problem is not with US administrations long past, but with the policies of the current administration.”
Zinger #3: “The substance of Obama’s foreign policies in the Middle East and North Africa remain in many key areas strikingly similar to, and are in some cases more aggressive than, those of George Bush, his predecessor.”
Zinger #4: “Does Obama really not understand that Mubarak’s interest is not in peace, but rather in an unending peace process that ensures his continued relevance and billions of dollars in no-strings-attached American aid?”
Zinger #5: “Ultimately, it is the reality of the Obama administration’s support for a discredited status quo across the region, and not the actions of the Eisenhower administration half a century ago, that makes it impossible for the US to play a forceful role advocating for democracy in Iran at this crucial moment in the history of the Islamic Republic, and ours as well.”

Lahoma Sue Smith, an Oklahoma City prostitute, pleaded no contest after being accused of trading her…uhhh…services for a box of Frito-Lay chips. She was fined $1,142.
As Lahoma Sue Smith told her customer, "No chips, no dip."
What the hell is going on in the nation’s heartland?
Lahoma Sue Smith, an Oklahoma City prostitute, pleaded no contest after being accused of trading her…uhhh…services for a box of chips. She was fined $1,142.
Police report that undercover officers saw Smith “trying to catch a date” by flashing her headlights. (We will pause now while you make your own joke about a prostitute “flashing her headlights.”) When they approached Smith’s car, her blouse was open and a man was pulling his pants up in the passenger seat.
The man told Smith he was looking for company but had no money. He must have caught her in a generous mood, because she agreed to trade sex for the $30 case of Frito-Lay chips she noticed in his back seat. (We will now pause again while you make your own joke about the name Frito-Lay and prostitution.)
When police asked Smith if she had ever been arrested for prostitution, she said, “Yes. Two or three times.”
We assume the attached photo of Smith doesn’t do her justice. Because she’s obviously all that and a bag of chips.
School District honcho Ramon Cortines is outraged by photos of pseudo gay fashion icon Sacha Cohen “Bruno” taken with football players at LA’s Birmingham High School.
Bruno isn't half as fraudulent as LA School Superintendent Ramon Cortines
School District honcho Ramon Cortines is outraged by photos of pseudo gay fashion icon “Bruno” taken with football players at LA’s Birmingham High School.
Cortines howls that the district has “allowed our students to be used.”
We’d salute his efforts to protect the city’s children. Except for one thing: It’s nothing but phony showboating.
In reality, Cortines seems far more worried about students being used by comic predator Cohen in a Hollywood photo shoot than about students being used by real predators in the city’s classrooms.
A recent Los Angeles Times report concluded, “Repeatedly, the district failed to follow up on sexual misconduct complaints against employees once police or prosecutors dropped criminal actions. Some ended up at new schools. In at least one instance…the new principal had no idea of his history.”
Molesting your young students? No problem. Sexually involved with your older students? No problem. But shooting some funny photos with an actor? That’s a problem.
It’s not easy to be this stupid. Cortines must be a graduate of the Los Angeles Unified School District.
Looks like we were right to be concerned that the House of Representatives’ apology for slavery was just a prelude to reparations demanded by Congressional Black Caucus.
Congressional Black Caucus being abused by evil Republican slave master John Boehner
Looks like we were right to be concerned that the House of Representatives’ apology for slavery was just a prelude to reparations.
Otherwise, it’s difficult to explain black House Democrats’ reaction to a “no reparations” disclaimer inserted in the Senate version of the apology.
The Senate disclaimer says: “Nothing in this resolution (A) authorizes or supports any claim against the United States or (B) serves as a settlement of any claim against the United States.”
Those simple words have angered members of the Congressional Black Caucus.
“I would not want to have any language in place that would deny anyone, any citizen, the right to address a grievance,” said wacko Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a Texas Democrat.
“I feel that some method other than just an apology should be made. People should be made whole,” Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said.
To that we say, “Shut the hell up, Sheila. Close your pie hole, Bennie.”
Uh-oh. Have we gone too far? In that case, we would like to issue an apology for the previous paragraph. But no reparations.
