Kinda funny??!?

That shit's friggin' hilarious!

Of course, I'm not an unbiased source. Thanks for the link, Ace.

Take a look at the crawl.

How utterly perfect! No swimming...

Thanks, CUS, for pointing out the crawl. I spewed my drink all over the place!

Priceless.

What a friggin' beauty!

This is payback for the CNN Cheney deal, right?

Pretty funny stuff.

I gotta wonder if 20+ years from now folks will still associate Cheney with official support for torture. How many Chappaquiddicks would it take to equal Abu Gharaib for damage to the US image?

Happy Thanksgiving, all.

Hey Turbino, you gigantic horse's ass,

Let's compare the number of dead young ladies at Abu Gharaib to those at Ted the swimmer's great adventure, shall we?

Never let a sense of proportion stop your constant rant of "America is wrong!"

And yes, we have a great deal to be be thankful for this year: the fact that you and your fellow scum are still out of power. As is the case with most liberal idiots, image is everything.

Cheers.

There's a difference between Chappaquiddick and Abu Ghraib. Ted Kennedy was driving the car, but it wasn't George Bush pointing at those Iraqi genitalia.

There's a difference between Chappaquiddick and Abu Ghraib.

And here's another difference: people went to prison for what happened at Abu Ghraib.

Posted by: SJKevin on November 23, 2005 06:10 PM

Hey tubby:

Happy Thanksgiving to you too. I wish you and your family all the best.

That being said:

BRING BACK CEDARFORD!

C'mon Ace. Take pity on us. We're dying for a good troll here.

"And here's another difference: people went to prison for what happened at Abu Ghraib."

Yep - and didn't Teddy just get a raise, courtesy of our tax dollars? I wonder what the folks in prison got, other than a size-eight a**hole from Big Bruce and his 9-inch Stick of Discipline?

Cheese Grater, why do you need to drag Andrew Sullivan into this?

Just FYI, the word is spelled "inadvertent" -- not that I plan to lose any sleep over it.

Posted by: Guy T. on November 23, 2005 09:28 PM

You guys are right.

I should have picked Henry Kissinger as comparison.

No jail time (yet - no statute of limitations for war crimes).

WAY more dead folks.

And there's the MOVIE! Catch Christopher Hitchens' best work, (available in print or on film), before the spirits lifted him away: The Trial of Henry Kissinger.

I was so very glad when the move to appoint him head of the 9-11 investigation was properly rejected.

[note to geoff: I know it was attributed to his inability to reconcile conflicts of interest. I also know that a lot of people decide to spend more time with their family -- when it's time for them to go.]

Posted by: tubino on November 23, 2005 11:21 PM

Yeah, because Ace of Spades HQ has always been a big advocate of Henry Kissinger for president in 2008? I mean, seriously. Just what are you on about?

You came into a joke thread, dropped some completely off-topic and irrelevant attempt to disparage Cheney. And then, when it is knocked down as the nonsense that it is (as even you seem almost willing to admit), you change the subject to Kissinger. Kissinger?!

This is why people don't talk to you.

Try staying on subject. Try admitting when you're wrong. Try avoiding straw-men arguments. If you have a world-view to share, do it in a constructive, honest, and relevant manner.

If you do these things, people will debate with you. If you don't, then everybody will continue to believe that it is a waste of time, and they will ignore you. You'll get some satisfaction from convincing yourself that we're ignoring you because we can't handle the truth, though. And, hey, have fun with that.

When are you flaming anuses going to learn?

I'm not here for honest debate. I'm here to spread propaganda; demoralize.

This is how I get my kicks. I'm a lonely loser with nothing else to do with my life.

Jay Leno had a funny on this. He showed news photos of Cheney w/ the X, Teddy w/ XXL, and Bubba's Lewinsky speech w/ XXX

The crawl is hysterical!

Tubino is....well he's.....he's.......typical leftist idiot.

Happy Turkey Day All

Hey, we can take tubino (see, T? I honor my bets), but will somebody please pluck spurwing plover? Every time he flies over a thread, we have to run around and put the cellophane over the deviled eggs and three bean salad.

Hi,

Well, I just think there's something special about the way folks remember it as a Kennedy=Chappaquiddick thing, after all these decades. It doesn't always work that way.

Kissinger's crimes were about the same decade as Kennedy's, no? But is there that kind of durable memory of association?

Anyway, that's what I was wondering initially about Cheney. If the guy lives another few decades, will people associate him with a move to make torture an official part of US policy?

Kind of a stretch of a comparison, but... there you have it. Hey, speaking of war criminals (Kissinger), how about that Pinochet? First the tax fraud indictment, then once again for kidnapping etc, and on his 90th birthday.

Ah well. Wrong scale. Kill one person, you're a murderer. Kill thousands and you get immunity -- at least till recently.

Posted by: tubino on November 24, 2005 11:33 PM

kill millions, and become an icon for leftists worldwide.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over

"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)

No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.

Now they've lost 84%.

Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.

Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...

@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.

Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.

Nick Lowles
@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party

STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.

Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.

Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:

That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time.
I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
