"I have a little announcement to make ... I'm voting for Hillary. I am endorsing Hillary," noted conservative author P.J. O'Rourke said on NPR's Wait Wait ... Don't Tell Me. The episode aired over the weekend.

Say the correct things and one can make a living in the media...

Say the wrong thing and you will find yourself prone to committing suicide in a stairwell, or so I've read.

Why don’t all of these Clinton lovers come out at the same time? Maybe go on network TV, join hands and sing Kumbayah or We Are The World and get it overwith. ***holes.

Balls in a lock box

[BenLurkin]

No way.

[SunLakesJeff]

He was once formative.

Now just another burned-out drunk.

So long, Hero.

[BenLurkin]

Sounds almost as if pj is pulling their leg.

Money is important because it let's everyone know who we are.

This election is serving a similar purpose.

[glock rocks]

Down in flames, asshole. Down in flames.

[Pelham]

Not a complete surprise. While very, very funny PJ O’Rourke has long had a strong resemblance to a GOPe crapweasel.

[Chgogal]

So, let me get this straight. These jacka$$e$ are willing to vote for a bitch that allowed a U.S. Ambassador, a State Department Staffer, and two former Navy SEALS to die, then lie about it, jail some schmuck for making some video over Allah, delete at minimum 30,000 emails while under subpoena, install a private server, use said private server for Secretary of State business, funnel business to the Clinton Foundation while Secretary of State, etc? Eff them. They are wrong and destroying this country.

I wonder if living in NH and being so close to MA and it's influence hasn't taken it's toll.

Tangent to this, I always saw PJ as a comedian that happened to be Conservative.

If he had any brains he could have played the smart Az$ comedian and made fun of both Trump and Hillary in a Jay Leno type monologue and road that one all the way to the bank.

But right now he is not funny or Conservative, double loss, ouch....

[Pelham]

"You’ve been outed as P.J. O’Rourke."

I have it on good authority that Laz cusses more than PJ. And PJ would not hit it.

[TChad]

Sounds almost as if pj is pulling their leg.

I hope you are right, but to me it sounds like P.J.'s version of being serious.

PLEASE, spare Free Republic from all future PJ O'Rourke articles/columns.

He doesn't merit our oxygen.

O’Rourke wrote “Parliament of Whores,” a book about Congress.

Apparently this fraud is a whore for Madam Cankles.

[Daffynition]

It'll be the first to go.

[LegendHasIt]

[SunkenCiv]

Peej, you’re an ***hole.

[Oztrich Boy]

Yeah. that’ll show him!

[ozzymandus]

I knew PJ was never a conservative, and I got sick of him pretending to be one years ago. I remember him trashing Rush on his buddy Bill Mahar’s show many years back. O’Rourke hasn’t been funny since he worked for the National Lampoon, and he helped kill that. Now he’s just another beltway elitist. Screw you, PJ.
