Your Daily Flaming Dumbass: Guess Who!

(I can’t wait to hear Jackie Mason bust Obama’s nuts [fulfilling Jesse Jackson's favorite fantasy] over this one.)

During the interview [with Channel 2 Israel] Wednesday, when confronted with the anxiety that some Israelis feel toward him, Obama said that “some of it may just be the fact that my middle name is Hussein, and that creates suspicion.”

Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen! You’ve been a great audience!

But if I may be serious before I go, I’d just like to say, yunno, we’re all God’s children, except for the fat bald guy in the second row!

All seriousness aside, ladies and gentlemen…can I have a spot and the house lights down, thank you…as Steve Allen (God rest his soul) used to say…SMOCK! SMOCK!

“Ironically, I’ve got a Chief of Staff named Rahm Israel Emmanuel. My top political advisor is somebody who is a descendent of Holocaust survivors. My closeness to the Jewish American community was probably what propelled me to the U.S. Senate,” Obama said.

That and running out of Beano.

GOODNIGHT AND DRIVE SAFELY! THANK YOU! And be sure to tip your waitress!

Your Daily Flaming Dumbass: Donald Berwick

“Any health care funding plan that is just equitable civilized and humane must, must redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent health care is by definition redistributional.”

Fairly standard Leftist fare. Ho hum.

What makes it interesting is that those words were uttered (in 2008, not way back in the, like, yunno, ’60s an’ shit) by…

…get ready:

Obama’s nominee appointee for the head of Medicare, one Donald Berwick.

Wait, it gets better:

Sen. Max Baucus, D-Montana, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said Senate confirmation “is an essential process prescribed by the Constitution that serves as a check on executive power and protects Montanans and all Americans by ensuring that crucial questions are asked of the nominee — and answered.”

Barry, when Max “Bacchus” Baucus starts bagging on your demi-fascist posterior for your extra-Constitutional diddling and shell games, you may want to put it back in your pants, just a teensy bit.

Your Daily Flaming Dumbass: The Dhimmi-In-Chief

Add NASA Director Charles Bolden to the long list of people apparently intent on making our heads explode:

“When I became the Nasa administrator, he [Mr Obama] charged me with three things.

“One, he wanted me to help reinspire children to want to get into science and math; he wanted me to expand our international relationships; and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering.”

Perhaps the Director of NASA misheard, misunderstood, misinterpreted, or otherwise mentally mangled the charge he had been given by President Obama.

After all, while one can be forgiven for assuming that the most nonsensical, pandering Islamophile dhimmitude issues forth from the Panderer-In-Chief with sickening regularity, the idea that the President of the United States of America would assert that the penultimate aim of NASA is to make Muslims feel good about themselves is so lacking in anything approaching rationality as to make a typical bit of satire from The Onion seem like something one would find on the History Channel.

But wait! Mr. Bolden did not mishear Mr. Obama’s priorities vis. NASA:

NASA assistant administrator for public affairs Bob Jacobs told ABC News that “Administrator Bolden understands that NASA’s core mission is exploration, both in space and in scientific endeavors here at home. Inherent to the success of that mission is cooperation and collaboration with other nations which are equally committed to this effort, including expanding the range of countries with which NASA engages and partners.”

In response to criticism, White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said in a statement that “The President has always said that he wants NASA to engage with the world’s best scientists and engineers as we work together to push the boundaries of exploration. Meeting that mandate requires NASA to partner with countries around the world like Russia and Japan, as well as collaboration with Israel and with many Muslim-majority countries. The space race began as a global competition, but, today, it is a global collaboration.”

In other words, the Administration did not distance themselves in any way from Director Bolden’s absurd remarks. One is left to conclude that Mr. Bolden perfectly understood the charge he was being given.

But of course this is all just the Right-Wing Hate Machine flipping out at the word Muslim, per the laughably misnamed Media Matters.

“Fight those who do not believe in Allah or the Last Day, or acknowledge that Islam is the religion of Truth, even if they are Jews or Christians, until they submit to slavery to you willingly and feel themselves subdued.” — Qur’an 9:29

Little did the Prophet imagine how readily modern-day dhimmis would beg to be enslaved.

Your Daily Flaming Dumbass: All Hail Stupitopia!

Barney Frank, June, 2010: “The general fear that the banking members [sic], that we’re going to over regulate on behalf of consumers is a fantasy unrelated to any human experience. The federal government has never done that.”

Chris Dodd, June, 2010: “It’s a great moment. I’m proud to have been here…No one will know until this is actually in place how it works. But we believe we’ve done something that has been needed for a long time. It took a crisis to bring us to the point where we could actually get this job done.”

Nancy Pelosi, March, 2010: “But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy….Health insurance reform is about jobs. This legislation alone will create 4 million jobs, about 400,000 jobs very soon.”

Barbara Boxer, June, 2010: “I’m going to put in the record…a host of quotes from our national security experts who tell us that carbon pollution leading to climate change will be over the next 20 years the leading cause of conflict, putting our troops in harm’s way…And that’s why we have so many returning veterans who want us to move forward and address this issue.”

Chris Dodd, December, 2009: “From the moment many Christmases ago, when George Washington led a small band of troops across the Delaware River in a hailstorm, those who have attempted to make our union more perfect have always faced overwhelming odds. We, too, have been tested over these past weeks and months as we have pushed towards the passage of this legislation….”

Alan Grayson, September, 2009: “If you get sick, America, the Republican health care plan is this: Die quickly.”

Barack Obama, over and over and over again during the campaign: “We are the ones we have been waiting for.”

Barack Obama, January 2009: “The way to make government responsible is to hold it accountable. And the way to make government accountable is make it transparent so that the American people can know exactly what decisions are being made, how they’re being made, and whether their interests are being well served….Information will not be withheld just because I say so; it will be withheld because a separate authority believes my request is well-grounded in the Constitution. Let me say it as simply as I can: transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency.”

Barbara Boxer, date unknown: “Those who survived the San Francisco earthquake said, ‘Thank God, I’m still alive.’ But, of course, those who died, their lives will never be the same again.”

Nancy Pelosi, 2006: “You must drain the swamp if you are going to govern for the people.”

Barney Frank, October, 2004: “But I have seen nothing in here that suggests that the safety and soundness [of Fannie Mae] are at issue, and I think it serves us badly to raise safety and soundness as kind of a general shibboleth when it does not seem to me to be an issue.”
