White House Kegger a "big waste of time"


WASHINGTON, D.C. (Goomba News Network) -

In the end, the great White House Suds Summit failed to live up to President Obama's basic definition of “a teachable moment.”

Vice-president Joe Biden was heard to comment "I've seen better communication in a Delaware 7-11."

“Did anyone apologize?” our reporter yelled at Cambridge Sgt. James Crowley, whose reputation as the most famous cop in the land was made on a disorderly pinch.

Hell, No! That stubborn a**hole kept right on ranting through the whole damn thing. I thought I'd start of the thing with a toast to something we could agree on, so I says 'Here's to the Celtics!'. I thought his head would explode. He said something about ofay, and then he screamed a disgusting insult about Larry Bird's mother. ”

Question: “What did the President do?”

Answer: “He kept sipping his beer.”

In an exchange he'd "probably prefer to forget,” Jim Crowley said that he and Henry Louis “Skip” Gates Jr. took turns drunkenly describing where each other could shove their “teachable moments.” Fisticuffs ensued.

It is now tragically obvious that a police officer, a Harvard "intellectual" a president and vice president of the United States wrestling around in a beer puddle under a child's picnic table did little to improve race relations in America.

“Yes,” Crowley said - he knows where and when he will meet Gates again, but he refused to tell us.

In the same White House briefing room where Barack Obama tried to extricate his foot from his mouth one week ago, the real show yesterday was watching the media divas from the national press corps carp and moan about “what a ridiculous (expletive) story” they found themselves trapped in.

White House spokesman Bill Tooley described the meeting as an unfortunate setback to race relations and a big waste of time, but surprised the gathered throng by announcing that the President will soon be naming a new national Beer Czar.

In the withering heat of a late afternoon, they waited in vain for a bloodied Skip to make an appearance at the bank of microphones. Skip Gates was quietly poured into a taxi headed back to Martha’s Vineyard last night, but Crowley thankfully tossed the national media herd a few details from yesterday’s rumored Rose Garden slap fight. The physical altercation lasted for about six minutes until Secret Service agents overpowered the lager-soaked quartet. Both Obama and Biden suffered scrapes and bruises in the melee.

“They all took off ,” one forlorned CBS newsman muttered.

“My face is about to melt off,” Helen Thomas sighed, “and I still haven't been able to ask these lightweights what they would heve done if they'd each had a second beer. I miss Bush.”

This account omits the shattering Knights of the Blue Flame competition. Gates won with a spectacular rose garden-wilting emission that stunned the second place Biden, who managed the stunt without injury, while standing at attention. Who said liberals can't be fun.

Also, my gal had it from the White House domestic staff. Michele was upset that she was not allowed to attend. Sharia law prevented her from showing off her unclad arms.

What a crock this White House is. Who is the one pulling the strings on this empty suit?

Red said...

HAHAHAHAHAHA! In the infamous words of Rodney King," Can't we all just get along?"

Snarky Basterd said...

This president seems to get arrested a lot, Nickie. See what I got him into over my way.

(BTW...I got you in my awesomely expanding blog roll. It'd be cool if you'd be able to reciprocate.)

Rhod said...

Yeah, Opie, but it's probably because her biceps would be bigger than Barry's. She could also crush an aluminum can, unlike the president.

Maia said...

Thanks :)

Rhod, the latest reports hint that Biden may not have emerged unscathed. His eyebrows may have been singed by an Obama game-winner.

I hear they all agreed to meet next in Martha´s Vinyard because Obama said that was his favorite state.

Good to see GNN reporting again (although it will always be a second-tier outfit to The CNN ... I said, THE CNN, not CNN). For the unitiated, the bold type may appear random, but once you learn the patterns of this exquisite code you will never see the news the same way again.

BTW, I was half-hoping that the cop would have emerged and talked about what a waste this was but at least it kept Oh! Bummer from trying to jam his health care extravaganza down our throats for an hour or so, so he was glad to take it for the team.

We can dream, I guess.

Meanwhile, Obama has reduced the White House to a size even smaller than Slick Willie's cigar box.

Anonymous said...

Another thing about these GNN reports. I am starting to think this is bogus. Helen Thomas. Nick can't run a single story, it seems, without mentioning this old flame. She lit the first torch in Greece.

Leave the personal out of this and just report the news!!

Anonymous said...

Lit the torch? She never got within an ouzo's splash of the torch.

Helen is a professional and skilled newsbabe, not just a pretty face.

Cbullitt said...

Nickie, thanks for stopping by earlier. Nice site. We should get together and play "morta"
(which for the uninitiated--beats Rochambault any day).

Keep up the good work.

DC, GNN is back and it's now safe to read the internets again.

Obama's ship seems to be taking on liquid, and this may turn out to be an interesting show.

Rhod said...

DC's right about the White House being reduced, presumably to the dimensions of a gin mill where everyone there, eventually, will know your name....and everything else about you.

Cbullitt...

And we'll top off the afternoon with a little bocce and grappa.

Rhod, you've gotta love the downhome populist move of charging for meals at the White House. Next, the Presidential Prius will sport an advertising banner on the doors.

The White House dimensions are shrinking by the hour.

Anonymoose,

Please make up your mind.

It took anonymous two times but he finally got his pathetic message out.

Nickie!

Joe Biden doesn't count as a white any more?

If that is true, then the collective I.Q. of the white race just took a huge jump!

I guess every cloud does have a silver lining!

Unknown said...

Why is it I have a feeling that these two guys just want to be able to say "hey I had a beer with the president!" Morons, anything for publicity.

Ron Russell said...

In this one Obugger proved beyond a doubt the ole addage, that politicians will "complicate the the obvious and trivialize the momentous".

Love your blog--first time visitor. Thanks for the visit to my humble blog TOTUS today, I'm adding you to the blogroll there. See you again soon!

Wolfie, Biden would need to develop a sense of humor and a work ethic to be considered a cracker.

No, better a Narragansett. You remember that from your days in Providence?

Even better, a Rheingold!

Cbullitt said...

There's a nice mafiosi restaurant a lawyer--now judge--took me to for lunch a few years back. They had a bocce court in back. I'm way out of practice--but I don't need any for grappa. Ciao.

Anonymous said...

Oh yeah... Narragansett Brewery on Cranston Street! I remember it fondly. Rheingold always had my respect as a Mets sponsor, and it's not a bad beer.

The only beer not worthy of the name is a horrid concoction blending grass clippings, maple syrup, and diluted Puma bile called Genesee (shudder).

C'mon Cbull... consider it a learning moment.

This entire farce merely serves as political theater for progressives.

Rhod said...

C'mon anonymous, searching through your Fowler's and your synonym finder for just the right insult isn't fair.

Put that community college Associates to work; find a position polishing traffic cones with WD-40 or something.

Rhod said...

Nickie, in 1963 Genesee was 99 cents a six-pack. Consumed gallons of it at Drive-In Movies.

Rhod said...

Oh, Nickie, this entire farce merely serves as political theatre for progressives.

Right now I'm flicking scented talc at you with my lace-trimmed, monogrammed hankie.

Anonymous said...

Rhod, our Anon seems to have stocked up on syllables.

Gallons of Genesee?? Many questions have been answered with that revelation.

A true progressive wouldn't ever own a monogrammed hankie. Such ilk would certainly only sport an flick the generic sweat-scented Peoples' Hankie.

Opus #6 said...

Rhod, what in the world are you doing with my hankie?!

Anonymous said...

He's flicking, Ope. Get the kids into the house.

Opus #6 said...

So this is only going to energize progressives? Like going to war in the middle east made the terrorists attack us MORE?

Oh, I am boo hooing! Where is that dam* hankie when I need it!

Rhod said...

Hankie-flicking is an aggressive but limp intermediate technology for progressives who use expressions like "political theatre".

They repel the proles with it until they roll out the obliterating heavy artillery with words like "thematic", or expressions like "false consciousness" or "veil of ignorance".


Anonymous is clearly in the lower ranks, thinking his barrage of ten copied words would rout us. It's a test of his/her/its manhood and snoot.

Ope, if we just learn to understand and accept, life will be fair and equal for all.

What part of "fair" don't you understand?

"veil of ignorance"

That's how my fourth wife used to refer to the blanket on our marriage bed.

They set beer relations back at least 500 years in this country.

Nickie, that was priceless.

Helen Thomas ... [shudder, shudder, shudder, shudder, shudder]

Wetzy said...

Governments owe their continued mishandling of race relations and criminal ownership of business to the inherent stupidity, laziness, and sheeplike mentality of the great human herd. Most people really don't have a clue even if they've been hit with a clue bat multiple times, don't care to have a clue either, as long as they keep a relative standard of ease in their lives.

Plus, they suffer from Dudley Do-Right Syndrome: "if I read it in the papers (or watch it on tv, or hear it on the radio) it must be true!" Which keeps them clueless in the raging clue storm.

Anonymous said...

They even set back beer sales.

Nickie, I alway heard Helen could light up a room....





Just by leaving it.

Talk to DC about that, Ope. I can recall, on at least 3 occasions, when he suddenly appeared at a location just milliseconds after Ms. Thomas had entered. Sam Donaldson, after seeing this phenomenon more than once, laughingly advised them to start carpooling.

DC has always preferred the older, seasoned, and more patient lover.

Teresa said...

Gee Obama must be an extremely bad racist Muslim President for Helen Thomas to wish Bush was back in the White House. Oh, she fell off her rocker and was dreaming.

I think a mudpit on the White House lawn would have been good. Then Obama and Crowley could have mudwrestled and had a really good fight to duke it out. Professor Gates could watch the event. The President and Crowley would look the same color so Gates would have no excuse to call out racism as an excuse as to why Obama got his A** kicked.

Amusing Bunni said...

Hey Nickie: That was good! What a waste of time the whole thing was. I know who the beer czar will be, Jessee Jackson, that's why bummer picked budweiser, jackson's kid got a bud distributorship in chicago after he threatened to picket them. Jerks.

I wish the 3 stooges would have gotten drunk, passed out & drowned in the potomac.

I haven't seen such passion since Harvey Stoneton, regrettably, tied his laces by placing his brogan upon the fender of Carlie "The Blade" Stuzzi's new Ford Torino.

All I've gotta say ... Cheap way to try to get me out of my hole and push this thing over 70 comments.

Nick, you and Helen are an historical item, in more ways than one ... for one thing, it's the highest combined age of two humans ever known to have, you know, participated real life in separate bath tubs on the side of a lake. That's really saying something, given that she is the pup in the relationship.

I've got the press conference footage to prove it about you two. You want me to roll tape? Don't make me dig out the links. Back away from the keyboard ... hands up!

I always thought of it as a May-December romance. I'll leave it at that.

Fair enough, my blogbrother. Remember when I have to spank you ... it hurts me more than it hurts you.

And with that ... we go north of 70.

It's fun to have you back on the internets where you belong.

You are one of a kind, my friend. Later this year when i come to Colliefornia (assuming I can get a passport) we need to break bread, solve the world's problems and tell stories about Helen and Jaclyn.

You're the best. Thanks for the info, the fun, and the inspiration.

So many people don't care about global warming. They disregard the need for conservation and instead drive SUVs. They don't care about the Federal deficit/debt (outside of partisanship) and they don't care earning $400k for an $80,000/year job will eventually bankrupt the country. They have awarded themselves $400k pay and retirement packages, loading up their friends on the payroll during the boom 90s through the real estate bust while all services which the program were intended to fund now get cut to pay for it.
These people are often common public university labor. Not Ivy League, not private university.
This labor isn't good enough to earn the salaries they are earning. And they understood this when they applied to the public university they settled on.
You can't expect a top-tier salary with a second-rate education.
They think they are going sometime during/at the end of this life, and disregard the poor souls who are left behind.
Sounds like the Italians who were used to plan World War II and the Holocaust, and not by accident.
These are the people who will be here in the United States when bankruptcy is declared and society deteriorates into chaos. And they will deserve the anarchy which ensues.

The gods used the Italians to ruin life in the 20th century.
The gods used the Italians to ruin life in A.D. with The Church.
The Church controlled Western Civilization. As the largest land owner in Europe they controlled the monarchies. They were responsbile for slavery, revenge for African invasion and rape of Italy. They created religious discontent, ultimately leading to the disfavored dumping ground known as the United States.
And each generation of these Italians were sold on "earning", only to be reincarnated as a lesser life form subsequently, punishment for their evil.
"The West Bank, where the end of the world will begin." With xtianity.

The gods are the commensurate rapist pathology, focussed on control.
It is appropriate they picked the Italians for the downfall of man. The perception offered is exactly how the gods are. Unfortunate for the Italians, they were deliberately altered to match this pathology so the god's behavior could be justified in the context of the god's positioning.

I may not have learned as much as I have but I WOULD have gotten more done and made more progress, and at the end of this life that's all that matters. We will all be reincarnated and must re-learn about the gods and their methodology in each sucessive life.
The upside down star is my symbol. There is of course no Satan. That's just the gods with different clothes on.
You're all in big, big trouble. Everyone who failed to ascend before 1900 is. But the importance of this Situation is to ensure people learn the god's system while they have enough time to fix their relationship and ascend before The End.
Don't forget:::Ascending into "heaven" is not the same as entering clone hosting. One is good while the other is evil. The clue is their request to work multiple clone hosts to "earn", for if you were welcome into heaven you would be invited directly. My example of someone who ascended is John Muir. His "fake" went on to accomplish BUT NOT IN A DISCIPLINE WHICH HURT PEOPLE OR PROVIDED FOR SOME TEMPTATION. What happens after speaks volumes.
You're on the clock. This is where the cream rises to the top.

If just then I am The Damned and this shouldn't have happened to me. If unjust the gods are immoral and a total waste of time. For all of us.
