Samizdata double quote of the day
Antoine Clarke (Neuilly-sur-Seine, France)  How very odd! • Humour • Media & Journalism • North American affairs • Opinions on liberty • Slogans/quotations

In Scott Brown we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against woman.

- Keith Olbermann, MSNBC host.

To which Mark Steyn responded, under the heading "Homophobic Nude Teabaggers on the March":

That's certainly why I'm supporting him. But who knew there were so many of us?

Comments

The Boston papers were all over that nude photo of Brown, but I don't recall many bringing this up about Coakley:

I wonder why.

BTW, can someone please give Olbermann a nice long lemon-scented enema -- that might take that pained "all backed-up" expression off his face.

I'm just grateful there are no (known) nude photos of Martha Coakley.

Dom, thank you for that very informative link.

Hey, send me money, and I promise to NOT post any nude photos of me! You've got 24 hours from now!

But probably not that much dangled.

Couldn't resist it!

One year to the day and Obama loses the safest seat in America, the Kennedy fiefdom, the seat that had...

For the arse of Kennedy's and fellow fuckwits only

written on the back of it.

This is indeed a great day, not to say what damage it very likely will do to the Ones grand plans.

This must certainly be the thread where we will miss IanB's hobbit porn expertise the most.

Where is the lad, anyhow?

On these very pages, the day after he was elected, I predicted as follows:

'I predict that, in less than a 12-month, President-elect Obama will actually be at loggerheads with his own party in the Congress, as the public takes turns in roasting them for some of the bull-headed cr*p that they want to try and foist on us. Once the voters actually start getting what they voted for, 'good and hard', I think there will be a backlash that with make 1994 look like a walk in the park. If there is a really-good foreign-policy crisis in the mix - even sooner. Obama simply does not have the leadership, the skills or the experience to impose himself or his ideas on the nation in any significant way. He is Pelosi & Reid's tame poodle, and as they go, so will he. '

OK, so I was a month or two off.

llater,

'Hobbit porn'? The guy is not my type, but certainly not a hobbit either.

Someone needs to tell Olbermann that he's been teabagged!


Posted by David Beatty at January 21, 2010 02:28 PM

It's called slander.
Olbermann needs to be sued into a SMALL cardboard box.
Not MSNBC
Not the local affiliates
Not the cameraman and the teleprompter operator.

OLBERMANN

Sue him for everything he and every mother's son of him is worth.
