STAY STUPID, my friends

His ego is expanding faster than the national debt. He once bowled a 37. Honest. He lives vicariously through his teleprompter. The police often question him, just so he can say they acted stupidly. His blood smells like arugula. Every time a pitcher throws a perfect game, he claims to know them. He's been known to cure insomnia, just by holding a press conference. People hang on his every word. They're so bored they hang themselves. He can speak Indonesian . . . in Kenyan.
He is the Most Irritating Man in the World.
"I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I make a photo op out of it."
"Stay stupid, my friends."
So Obama stuck his nose into a situation he knows nothing about. No, I'm not talking about the presidency. That's a given. No, I'm talking about Gatesgate. At his initial presser, Obama admitted, "I may be a little biased here. I don't know all the facts." But that didn't stop The Most Interfering Man in the World from giving his opinion, saying that the Cambridge police "acted stupidly."
Well, that didn't go over too well, so later Barack had to backtrack a bit: "I could have calibrated those words differently." And he invited Professor Gates and Officer Crowley over for a beer.
So how have the DUmmies reacted to all this? Lots of threads over in DUmmieland, for example, this THREAD, and we'll sample a few others beside. So belly up to the bar, boys, lift a pint, and let's all sing "Kumbaya." The DUmmie comments are in Killian's Red, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, Charles Henrickson, is in the [Barackets]:
President Obama Inviting Gates and Crowley Over For A Beer? Brilliant!
[The only thing more brilliant would be to fly up to Boston, where those guys live, head over to Bukowski's, and ask the Pittster to moderate!]
the President swallowed his ego, and worked to resolve the problem.
[The Grand Canyon could not swallow Obama's ego.]
Well, the President better not get too 'uppity' while Crowley is there: we don't want to see an arrest in the White House.
[Profilings in Courage.]
As long as he checks his gun and his tazer at the door, why the Hell not?
[Obama could disarm him with his looks . . . or his hands. Either way.]
Obama IS brilliant!
[He is so brilliant, he'll even get those guys to buy HIM a beer! He is the Most Brilliant Man in the World.]
It is good, can't wait for the photo op.
[That's what it's all about.]
Our President knows how to appeal to the better angels in people.
[Our President knows how to appear at the better angles in a photo op.]
The Symbolism is thick.
[That's not the only thing.]
am I the only one who expects a few whiny parents to slam Obama for setting a bad example for children by offering a beer (as opposed to a Coke or whatever else) to Gates and Crowley. . . ?
[FREE UNIVERSAL BEER FOR ALL!]
Some parents, some religious types.
[Not the Lutherans. We like beer.]
they should start with Wild Turkey and move through the spirits from there.
[PJ will send over some Flor de Caña.]
Just get totally f*cking sloshed. That would be so awesome.
[I think we've found the DUmmies' sweet spot.]
I'd rather they smoked a doob.
[Barry might have flashbacks.]
our Fearless Beloved Leader has enough empathy to save the Nation.
[He has so much empathy he can export it to other planets.]
Dude - the Prez is from Chi-Town. . . . Who could turn down a beer from a Chicagoan?
[Dude, I, Charles Henrickson, am from Chicago! Born and raised there. Barry is from . . . well, nobody knows where he's from. . . . But, who could turn down a beer from an Indonesian?]
So - honestly, you would turn down Beer with Obama?
[Will Pitt would not turn down a free beer with Richard Speck.]
The great lesson: "When in doubt, have a drink!" Something I try to practice on a daily basis.
[Will Pitt wants a job with the administration as Undersecretary of Beer.]
Maybe Obama and Gates should waterboard Crowley with a couple of Sam Adams. . . .
[Wouldn't that be "beerboarding"?]
they should enjoy some 18 year old Elijah Craig Bourbon...and a nice bong hit.
[Most DUmmies would just go with the bong.]
"White House spokesman Robert Gibbs promised Budweiser, the all-American king of beers." I am aghast and shaken to the core.
[For once I agree with a DUmmie! Kewpie Doll on the way!]
Wonderful line. True too.
ROFLMAO
Busch's fault.
That’s a great intro. Kudos.
I believe Officer Crowley’s response should be...
“Please inform President Obama that I don’t care to drink with him, or any other racist son of a bitch.”.
>>“Please inform President Obama that I don’t care to drink with him, or any other racist son of a bitch.”.<<
Sadly, Ofc Crowley is easily impressed by people who have rank and status. I am sure he is a heck of a guy, but he was clearly overwhelmed by his situation.
Those of us who realize our lives are gauged by how and who we associate with certainly would have the more disciplined answer you suggest.
“Busch’s fault. “
Perfect pun.
LOL
The Kingfish couldn't have said it better.
Charles, you zeroed in on the world’s most irritating commercial.
“People hang on his every word, even the prepositions.”
On the contrary, right now I think it's the most ENTERTAINING ad campaign going! When I watch TV (i.e., when I watch baseball games), I usually mute the commercials. But these ones I find very well done: the concept, the writing, the music, the narrator's voice, the actor's look and voice. . . . Very FUnnie!
His reputation is expanding faster than the universe. He once had an awkward moment, just to see how it feels. He lives vicariously through himself.
The police often question him, just because they find him interesting. His beard alone has experienced more than a lesser man's entire body. His blood smells like cologne.
He's been known to cure narcolepsy just by walking into a room. His organ donation card also lists his beard. He's a lover, not a fighter, but he's also a fighter, so don't get any ideas.
His charm is so contagious, vaccines have been created for it. Years ago, he built a city out of blocks. Today, over six hundred thousand people live and work there. He is the only man to ever ace a Rorschach test. Every time he goes for a swim, dolphins appear. Alien abductors have asked him to probe them. If he were to give you directions, you'd never get lost, and you'd arrive at least 5 minutes early. His legend precedes him, the way lightning precedes thunder.
His personality is so magnetic, he is unable to carry credit cards. Even his enemies list him as their emergency contact number. He never says something tastes like chicken. Not even chicken.
People hang on his every word, even the prepositions. He could disarm you with his looks . . . or his hands. Either way. He can speak French . . . in Russian.
He is the most interesting man in the world.
"I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis."
"Stay thirsty, my friends."
Butt Light.
I am now upgrading my original "LOL" to an "ROFLMAO!! Well done!!"
Oh, and buy that man a Dos Equis!
I feel sorry for Crowley, who is being pushed into this photo op.
On the other hand, this is so obviously a forced appearance and staged for a photo op that I think it's just going to get even more people angry.
If we are really lucky, the media will feel that this has to preempt the prime time shows on Thursday evening. MORE people PO'd!
It's a good thing. And pour me a martini, extra dry.
