Political Humor

This week’s RL Political Humor Quick Hits goes European like our Creampuff-In-Chief on his current leg of the 2009 World Apology Tour but without all the hugs and endless repetitions of  “Kumbaya” by the campfire.

Obama Apologizes for Nuclear Weapons

While North Korea tried to launch a missile with the potential to carry a nuclear payload Sunday, Obama’s response was to tell the world sorry for being the leader of the first country to use nukes as weapons:

“As a nuclear power – as the only nuclear power to have used a nuclear weapon – the United States has a moral responsibility to act,”

Loxodonta, a commenter on Hot Air had a great reaction to that line:

“So, while on European soil, the current occupant of the White House is blaming FDR for ending WWII.”

It was actually Truman, which is mere semantics because the point of the comment is still valid: Nukes ended the war and saved more lives in the long run.

Not to worry though Lox, Obama is calling for tougher UN sanctions.

That should be a big help because asking them to solve a problem is like asking a crackhead to safeguard your money.

As insurance Hillary was dispatched to the UN to schmooze China, a country that told us recently our dollar is worth nothing, and Russia who wants gold backing for money, all in the hopes the two nations would lean on North Korea.

I think that is what they mean by “Overseas Contingency Plan.”

With plans like these who needs enemies?

UK Funds Anti-Christian Literature

Obama was right. The war is not against Islam but Christianity in the UK:

“A Government-funded charity was at the centre of a row last night after a magazine it publishes for children appeared to depict Christians as Islamophobes who regard Muslims as terrorists.”

Yes that is a Christian cross but Natasha Finlayson, trust chief executive of the charity in question But Who Cares doesn’t see it that way:

“When I saw the cartoon, I didn’t think of that character being a Christian because I saw the cross as ‘bling’, as jewelry. “

Bling? Jewelry? So what’s the hijab, a fashion accessory?

It would not have been so bad if she didn’t preface it with this:

” ‘…the charity had received a complaint but did not agree the cartoon was derogatory towards Christians. I am a Christian myself, so when a woman called us, I went back and looked at the comic strip from her point of view,’ Ms Finlayson said. ‘I am sorry that she is upset but I don’t share her view.’ “

In other words as long as she isn’t the Christian being eaten by the lions everything is fine.

Good Thing Palm Sunday Wasn’t Seven Days Earlier

If it was, this scene of penitents celebrating Spain’s Holy Week might have been completely misinterpreted by the American Drool-By Media with Obama just hundreds of miles away attending the G20.

When our idiotic media mistakenly attributes a thrown shoe as an insult to the guest and not the host of a Middle Eastern country you can only imagine the negative spin on something like this.

I couldn’t think of anything funny to say for today’s post. So…

Political humor pictures are best when passed around. Please just give us a link back to this page.

Thanks to JumpOut for the minefield clearing idea.

Today I’m filled with hope because I can see that change is right around the corner. January 20th of 2009 is going to be the turning point in American World history. How do I know this? Because the Clinton’s are back!

Just kidding. Not about the Clinton part, that’s true. It seems Obama’s promised Big Change involves getting the band back together from the Clinton years.  I was being sarcastic about the hope thing. Matter of fact, I’m going to continue to be sarcastic. It keeps me from ranting.

The officially leaked list of Obama’s Cabinet candidates looks like a Who’s Who, Chinese menu of liberal main courses and side dishes.  Very few have been actually offered or accepted a job -officially.  We’re all going to have to wait until Christmas to open that fortune cookie and see all of those who are really (and officially) inside.

Below is a best guess list of supposed Cabinet members, based upon official statements and unofficial conjuncture. There’s nothing like having a transparent government that we can believe in.

While our first black President (who was all white and shouldn’t to be confused with the current President elect who is half white, says he’s black but remember, it’s not about race) will not be rejoining the current administration -in an official capacity- but the author of Hillary Care will. Oh happy days!

While I can’t believe she would take any position (any position that doesn’t involve grabbing the hips from behind anyway) that contains the word Secretary in the title , still Obama is supposed to announce today, that Hillary has accepted the job as Sec. of State. That’s right S.O.S.

The Obama cabinet is shaping-up (read: rumored) to be an all-star ensemble cast that includes such notables as Tom Daschle and Bill Richardson. How’s that for earth shattering, I-can’t-believe-it change?

Richardson, who was the former Energy Sec. and a UN ambassador under Clinton, could be the next Sec. of Commerce. And Daschle? Wasn’t he something insignificant like Senate Majority Leader, before South Dakota kicked him out, and a good friend of Clinton’s? Now it looks like he might be the new Sec. of Health and Human Services.

Bill Clinton should be able to give Tom a few pointers on the Human Services side. I wonder if Daschle enjoys a good cigar? Now there’s a question fraught with innuendo.

Greg Child ring a bell? He’s going to be White House Counsel or maybe Chief of Staff or… He’s the same lawyer that tried to get Bill off during the Lewinsky scandal. I’m not sure how I mean that. Speaking of Monica, isn’t there a slot or something for her? Sorry, I’m really having trouble getting the sentence structure right and my mind out of the Liberal Lane of the Beltway; the gutter.

Child also worked with Albright and Teddy K. But wait there’s more! Remember Elian Gonzalez, the sweet, little Cuban boy who Janet Reno had removed at gunpoint from a relative’s home in Miami? Child was Elian’s father’s lawyer. Now if he would only advise Obama to do the same for all the other illegal aliens.

Then there’s Lawrence Summers, former Treasury Sec. during the Glory Years of 1992-2000, who will now head  the National Economics Council… maybe.  Can you say change?

Bernake and Paulson are jokes, so who are they talking about getting to fill one of those soon to be vacant positions? Well, none other then Little Timmy Geithner, WHO HAS BEEN ADVISING THEM!

Sorry, got a little worked up. It seems that stupidity know no bounds when it comes to political appointments.

Don’t forget the Kerry/Gore question. Even though neither are on the official short list, rumors fly. Which one of them might still get a shot at “saving” the great outdoors as Sec. of the Interior?  You got to admit, that’s a stupid title. I suggest we change it to Sec. of the Backcountry. Much more fitting for either one of them. Yep, S.O.B.

And the list goes on and on and…

Makes you wonder if George Stephanopoulos will be rejoining the team. He’s still on TV, right? He might as well since our conservative satire blog has more fans than his show does.

It doesn’t matter who President Obama picks, one choice will be just about as bad as the next. Which leads me to this:

Hope for change all you want, you stupid ass liberals, duped Republicans and ignorant Independents, ‘cus you got what you asked for. Obama lied right to your faces and you were just too lazy to even open your eyes or unplug your ears.

Change is coming all right. Better hope it’s wearing a rubber.

Always be safe, wear a condom.  Les is wearing one right now. You can find more of his sarcasm at the freak show that is Sideshow Mirrors.
