That’s Nixon as Marley’s Ghost (Scrooge’s late business partner). The chains and boxes and the jaw bandage are the giveaway.

Ha!  Beat these Verge guys to the story (sort of) with a vanity posted here a few weeks ago. Includes some funny FReeper comments on a Boobamba pic.

He is light in the loafers, for sure, but for a nanosecond in this clip he demonstrates supreme faggotry.

Muslim star and crescent moon. Also, his aide on the right is wearing one seriously funky hat.

The War Room photo. The Obama worshiping media made it famous, or tried to.

That pic. Is that a Volkswagen exhaust pipe pointing at obongo?
