Shorter Alleged Psychotherapist Robin of Berkeley, The American “Thinker”
A Shrink Asks: What’s Wrong With Obama?
- His daddy dropped him on his head. He fried his brain on drugs and liquor. His mamma had sex with him. He has schizotypal antisocial personality disorder. He’s not smart enough to have Asperger’s Syndrome.
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™
So what is the matter with Obama? Conservatives have been asking this question for some time. I’ve written a number of articles trying to solve the mystery.
When all the while there’s a simple, one-word answer.
Robin of Berkley actually practices psychotherapy? On humans?
Ugh. I got out of the boat. WHY?
Isn’t this, um, like, kind of unethical?
OH NOES DAN SCHORR DIED??? Aw. I mean, I know he was old, but still.
Robin of Berkley actually practices psychotherapy? On humans?
On media constructions.
And to think that these are the same people who were apoplectic that an actual licensed psychiatrist did some armchair analysis of George Bush.
The comment thread to that shit is depressing. I used to believe people this nuts could never learn to type, but should have expected that, once they did, it would be an obsessive compulsion for them.
How’s that Dr. Krauthammer?
It’s pronounced an-AL-ra-pist.
It must be driving them insane that they have to type those four page long psychoanalytical things when back in the day, they could simply have thrown a rope to the crowd and shouted “HANG HIM!!!!”
I think she just diagnosed herself. Heal thyself indeed. Talk about being delusional and narcissistic…bitch, look in the mirror.
Oh, my god, the horror. Don’t get out of the boat. Above all, don’t read the comments, lest your hope for humanity be crushed like a rotten grape.
At first I was going to say that Robin has done for psychotherapists what Oily Titz has done for lawyers and dentists, and The Shrub has done for MBAs. But you don’t necessarily need an advanced degree to be a psychotherapist – and that’s assuming she isn’t lying about her alleged profession.
http://www.guidetopsychology.com/cln_cns.htm
So I’m betting that this ‘analysis’ by proxy does not violate her professional ethics – she’s not a licensed professional. She’s just a sub-clinically neurotic astrologer. May God have mercy on her clients.
The word diarrhea was bad enough. Wasn’t about to subject myself to the comments which are always somehow worse.
These people are terribly bitter that when we said dubya was a sociopath we had him dead to rights.
I’m still convinced she’s a troll. I’m expecting any time now we’ll hear, “HA! I’m a member of Code Pink, SUCKERS!”
Otherwise, this is a perfect example of Poe’s Law.
Shorter shorter Robin of Berserkly: I’m fucking insane! Heeheehooheehoohaha
Isn’t this, um, like, kind of unethical?
Oh like THAT’S ever stopped any of these folks. Hell, she’ll probably send him a bill for professional services rendered.
R of B is a licensed social worker. She reads too much Psych Today, though. And of course, she’s a flaming racist. Also, too.
Obama’s clear mental illnesses can be seen from his turn as a cheerleader in an elite prep school, his scattered record in showing up to National Guard service even though it kept him from Vietnam, his long-term alcoholism with a difficult recovery process, and a record of failed businesses being continually bailed out by friends of his father.
She started to crush him, but she began to like him
~
If my assessment is accurate, what does this mean?
It means that liberals need to wake up and spit out the Kool-Aid…and that conservatives should put aside differences, band together, and elect as many Republicans as possible.
Peggy Noonan, hardly a vehement Obama foe,
Diagnosis: completely out of touch with reality.
Is there a disorder the muslim usurper doesn’t have?
If R of B’s diagnostic droppings are as rotten, half-eaten mangoes, her comment section is the tiger who bounds out of the bushes and bites the ass out of your trousers.
Peggy Noonan, hardly a vehement Obama foe, recently pronounced him disconnected.
Whoa–didn’t see that coming.
No kidding. Just because she’s against him in a breathy voice doesn’t mean she’s not vehemently against him.
BTW, a lot of what R of B says is exactly what many armchair psychologists on the left said of Dubya. This is her middle school way of paying us back. Only problem is that when we suggested that Shrub had perhaps been dropped on his head or was afflicted with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, it was because he was, you know, retarded.
Ah–crap. Sorry mmy.
Shorter shorter Robin of Berserkly: I’m fucking insane! Heeheehooheehoohaha
Ting tang, walla walla bing bang… (I couldn’t resist. The song is even called The Witch Doctor, of all the ironic funniness)
Yes, videotape diagnosis from afar. Where have we seen this before?
It means […] that conservatives should put aside differences, band together, and elect as many Republicans as possible.
Truly, sir, you have a dizzying intellect.
R of B is a licensed social worker.
Dear God, her poor clients.
That American Stinker graphic is in need of a toilet and pants around the ankles. Just sayin’.
[Tintin adds: the tree stump is hollowed out, so no porcelain toilet needed. However, you’ve gotten your pants around your ankles, so to speak.]
R of B is a licensed social worker.
“Get off your lazy ass and get a job. Robin out.”
They’re coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!
They’re coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa
Truly, sir, you have a dizzying intellect.
HA! Nice!
Martini coming up…
I do have to say the armchair diagnoses of Bush were pretty fucking stupid too. I am not a pyschologist, but I can judge a shitty leader when I see one. This nonsense is just beyond good taste and an indisputable black eye on the profession, such as it is.
That American Stinker graphic is in need of a toilet and pants around the ankles. Just sayin’.
Pretty sure pre-revolutionary patriotic capris featured a trapdoor.
Yes, where have we seen this before. Tintin, you lazy git, this was covered at World o’ Crap weeks ago, in a post bearing the title– wait for it– “Physician, Heal Thyself.”
A hat tip to Scott’s seminal work in this regard would be nice, at least.
[Tintin adds: I didn’t see Scott’s post or I either would have credited Scott or posted something else.
Sheez, now to keep you ingrates satisfied, not only do I have to actually write stuff, whip up P-shops for your entertainment but also I have to read the entire blogosphere! Oddly, however, I almost always read the most excellent W o’C, and I missed this one.]
If my assessment is accurate, what does this mean?
Tea hee hee!
I took Psychology 101 in college, and remember more about it than Robin has forgotten. I think her degree is from the UofGoogle, Crazybitchtown, AZ.
BTW, a lot of what R of B says is exactly what many armchair psychologists on the left said of Dubya.
Yeah, true, but I don’t remember a lot of people trying to do so from authority. I think I saw one guy who was a real doctor, and he couched his opinions in a lot of conditional language. Plus, they did it with Clinton, too, what were they trying to get revenge for then?
Now that I think about it, though, what does it say about the American people that the last 3 presidents have all most likely had daddy issues?
Now that I think about it, though, what does it say about the American people that the last 3 presidents have all most likely had daddy issues?
Stop it, MOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Yeah, and I actually had no problem with that, as I genuinely do think there is something deeply wrong with him.
“Bush on the Couch” is the book you’re thinking of, I think. I actually heard him interviewed. It was interesting. But I’m completely fascinated with this kind of thing, the psychology of politics…
Now that I think about it, though, what does it say about the American people that the last 3 presidents have all most likely had daddy issues
We should always vote for the orphan?
I’m pretty sure that’s the fault of the Mexicans.
Robin had no choice other than to write this, after the American Psychiatric Association rejected her appeal to include “black” as a mental disorder in the new DSM.
BTW, a lot of what R of B says is exactly what many armchair psychologists on the left said of Dubya.
But that’s their standard practice. Almost every anti-Obama freakout on the right that isn’t based on “there’s a n***** in the White House” is recycled from liberal rants about Bush. (The monkey jokes, of course, combined the two) Wingnuts can’t even make up their own insults. That’s how much imagination they have.
Just like the “taking our country back” meme, which was plagiarized from Howard Dean back in 2003 or so, but back then “our” referred to Americans seeing our democracy being trashed, and now it means ignorant, mostly-white dumbasses who believe everything Fox tells them.
“Faggot Social Worker”
With Bush Jr., the reasoning behind psychological speculations at a distance was that he was publicly exhibiting sociopathic but also erratic and authoritarian behavior.
Obama isn’t. He’s just a normal politician guy.
This isn’t to suggest that such speculations were correct, but when you’re publicly a dangerous crazy asshole, there is something to be explained.
Yeah, in re: ignorant mostly-white dumbasses who believe everything Fox tells them – I’ve got the Fox clip El Cid mentioned last week – the one where they photoshopped a gun into a monkey’s hand – over at my joint.
IIRC, it took less than 3 days for that “story” to go from Jim Hoft to Fox News.
Ok, my bad. I see Hoft “reported” on the Killer Monkeys on July 10; my clip is from Talk Soup on July 16. So it may have taken almost a whole week for the story to go from the fringiest nut outpost on the internets to Fox.
R of B is a licensed social worker.
Not, GASP, employed by the goobermint is she? Or some evil Soros funded ACORN ACLU PLANNED PARENTHOOD WELFARE AGENCY?!?!?
Sometimes it only takes one day, Jennifer.

I love it when this illiterate whackjobs say, “We know so little about the facts of his life.”
Does the word “autobiography” ring any bells? He wrote two fucking books about the facts of his life!
I suppose it’s nice to know that they deliberate a little more on the crazier stories before going ahead and reporting them, too.
Honestly, I’m starting to think there is a betting game going on among the upper echelon of conservative media and political circles, to see just how outlandish a claim has to be before their followers will reject it. I thought this back during the buildup to the Iraq War, too. I imagined a scene with Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rove, Rumsfeld and Powell, where Cheney was proposing leaking information about the imminent threat posed by Saddam’s fleet of remote-controlled model airplanes.
Powell: “No way! No one’s gonna believe anything THAT crazy!”
Cheney: “Wanna bet?”
Powell (laughing): “Oh, YOU’RE ON!!!”
Bush, Rice, Rove, and Rumsfeld all laugh and bet on Cheney.
er…these. I never said I was very literate.
It’s called projection.
…and no, I’m not getting out of the boat.
I’m struck by the numerous assertions of Obama’s character (“he’s flat,” “he’s aggressive”, “he’s thin-skinned”, “he has a gargantuan ego,” “he’s out of touch”) backed up by….absolutely no concrete examples.
Not one quote. Not one example. Not one citation. (Pre-emptive troll-parrying – quoting someone else’s opinion about him does not equal a concrete example.).
I realize that the left had some fun parlor games psychoanalyzing Bush, so I suppose this is our due, but it’s always amusing to see how the right takes it over the top.
Damage to the brain from drugs and alcohol can also cause significant cognitive impairments. Obama once said that there were 57 states — and didn’t correct himself. Memory problems can be caused by both illicit and prescription drug use.
Oh, I correct myself. She has ONE example.
So a slip of the tongue while exhausted on the campaign trail is evidence of brain damage from drug and alcohol use.
As long as she’s going to analyze presidents, let’s hear her analysis of Bush, then – it’s bound to be off the charts.
Take also Obama’s declaring on the “Today Show” that he wants to know whose ass to kick. Consummate narcissists would never stoop to this vulgar display of adolescent machismo.
No, they’d say “Bring it on.”
Everyone needs a little psycho therapy!
And that quote is completely out of context, g.
Obama was being criticized for not being like Bush and going off half-cocked, and he explained why that would be a stupid thing to do.
~
Consummate narcissists would never stoop to this vulgar display of adolescent machismo.
So, does this mean she’s saying he’s not a narcissist? Of course not, he’s TOTALLY a narcissist, but not JUST a narcissist.
“If my assessment is accurate what does this mean?”
It means that after being blindfolded and turned around three and one-third times on the front nine, she drove a golf ball six hundred yards, while in a sitting position, for a hole-in-one on the back nine.
Her accuracy and the hole-in-one are equally probable. Her professionalism in the field of psychology, and integrity as a person are also remote. Fortunately, a complete void where her conscience should be shields her from self-awareness.
With the evidence provided one is forced to conclude that she is an asshole who slept through her college classes, because her grandfather was a drunken Muslim pervert who dropped her on her head from a third story window, after sexually abusing her in front of her clinically apathetic mother. Of course, I can’t be certain of this, because her sleeping in class may have been due to something entirely different.
A variety of critics have accused Obama of being too cerebral in his reaction
Which Robin does via the words of Carville in the second sentence. Too blase about the oil spill while also displaying adolescent machismo about it at the same time! HE SO CRAZY!
Oh PLEASE.
Regardless of whether his public image rubs you the wrong way – or whether his policies make you has a big sad – it’s pretty obvious that Obama is so utterly fucking ultra-stable that one would think close proximity to gunfire would get little more than a raised eyebrow & a “tut-tut” from the guy.
Being a tad creeped out by it is understandable – in an age where a pandemic of Emo Flu sufferers are constantly “expressing themselves” as to the exact nature of their spiritual diaper-rash, it’s definitely unusual … but labelling it psychopathology means we get to take down your proverbial shingle & whup you with it until symptoms of an IQ occur.
I’m guessing Obama’s peers fucked with him mercilessly every chance they got growing up & he responded by cultivating that whole “butter wouldn’t even soften in my mouth, let alone MELT” persona to a tee. Yeah, to 24-7 rage-freaks, he must truly be Satan/Teh Grinch/Hitler in the flesh – because he’s exactly what they wish they could be.
Cock-Up-Robin Of Hurpdurpley can kiss my id.
American Cunt.
And they can’t seem to bully him out of his coolness, which obviously REALLY frustrates them.
Of course not, he’s TOTALLY a narcissist, but not JUST a narcissist.
He’s a great floor wax and a dessert topping!
Jesus H. Christ in a chicken basket, those were some stupid fucking mangoes!
Whenever I hear a wingnut like that crow about how they used to be a liberal, all I can think it, good riddance, who needs fools like you around?
Stoopit Obama, takin’ vacations during a time of national crisis! We’re at war, people! Presidents don’t go on vacation after startin…er, during a time of war!
If there’s anyone I trust, it’s a Californian psychotherapist.
it’s pretty obvious that Obama is so utterly fucking ultra-stable that one would think close proximity to gunfire would get little more than a raised eyebrow & a “tut-tut” from the guy.
And people like Robin of Berkeley call him ego-driven, narcissistic, aggressive, vulgar, naive, brain-damaged and etc. all the while supporting people who:
– grandstandingly suspend an election campaign to single-handedly take on a financial crisis (and then do nothing)
– have to be restrained, diva-like, from upstaging her own running mate at his concession speech
– blithely gabble talking points while behind her turkeys are being slaughtered
– takes it personally when someone uses a common political phrase like “lipstick on a pig.”
– incites violence with campaign rhetoric like “reload” and images of crosshairs
– campaigns with people who depict the president with a bone in his nose
– has to write notes on her hand
– gets into flame wars with comedians
etc.
Roy Edroso also covered this one, btw. No link cause I’m lazy.
I got out of the boat. This, in response to “Why did anybody vote for him, what’s wrong with *those* people?”, is possibly my very favorite thing of the day:

What is wrong with the American electorate? Wishful thinking. O has stated that he is a fan of David Palmer. I think democrat fans of “24” juxtaposed Palmer’s integrity onto O in the “hope” that if they thought it so, it would be so. ShOrtchanged.

I just want to spend all day cozied up with that comment, because it’s the only thing I’ve seen lately that’s even crazier than I am. If I don’t kill myself today, it will be entirely due to the warm glow of knowing there’s some person out there whose very existence is more of a disservice to the species.
Consummate narcissists would never stoop to this vulgar display of adolescent machismo.
He’s the narcissest! He makes Ted Bundy look like Mitt Romney!
Obama will not change. He will not learn from his mistakes. He will not grow and mature from on-the-job experience… Why? Because this is a damaged person. Obama’s fate was sealed years ago growing up in his strange and poisonous family.
I don’t know about you guys, but that’s just the attitude I want my therapist to have about mental illness. I guess it’s consistent with her politics, though — positive change is hard; let’s go beat up some hippies instead.
If I don’t kill myself today, it will be entirely due to the warm glow of knowing there’s some person out there whose very existence is more of a disservice to the species.
Please don’t even joke like that! A good friend of mine recently received a bizarre e-mail from some guy she marginally knew, then found out he’d subsequently killed himself. If you really feel despondent, get some help stat.
There are a whole slew of fanatically right-wing psychotherapists on the net. It’s weird. Ie, Gagdad Bob (check out the link which contains the original title of the post); and Dr. Sanity. These people all seem quite deranged, and it’s kind of scary to think of them practicing their profession on unsuspecting patients.
Aw, D., B4’s right, don’t even joke. Besides, a world without you would be a much poorer one.
We know so little about the facts of his life.
Translation: We want to see his birth certificate.
If it’s of any use, I am currently under the care of two genuine psychiatrists, and a whole slew of psychoactive drugs. Don’t worry about me, I got people I *pay* to worry about me.
Also, I am easily distracted. This comes also from the comments:

Here’s my theory about how such a wussy, kowtowing wimp as Obama could get elected president:
1) The culture of the “metrosexual” has become so entrenched via media and marketing that more than 50 percent of the voters are effeminate men and the women who are attracted to them.
2) It’s been shown that all the estrogen ending up in our water supplies has reduced the sperm counts of American men. Hormones are powerful things; it’s bound to have affected their psycho-emotional make-up as well–even to the extent that they could actually vote for such an obviously beta male.
3) Everyone talks about “white guilt”–but what about “penis guilt”? Decades of indoctrination by radical feminists have convinced millions of women and even men that testosterone and Y chromosomes are inherently bad. Beta males, or metrosexuals, have thereby become the ideal for far too many people. Perhaps the 2008 election was simply the year the metrosexual culture reached some sort of critical mass.
–
It’s the metrosexuals! That’s why we have Prezbo (no, really, someone called him that. It wasn’t this commenter, but it easily could have been.) in power: the metrosexuals and their penis guilt. I dunno what that means, but just from having it in my copy buffer, I expect to get lots of interesting junk mail this week.
And then there’s also this beautiful line from a comment rife with less fragrant bullshit about God punishing us with Obama:
–
Was he sexually abused? Perhaps, but we abuse sex all the time–it is used to sell everything–it is on every TV show, every movie and is more and more gratuitous and graphic.
–
And suddenly I understand why Robin has patients, assuming she does: there are people out there who actually *are* less sane than she, and must truly admire her.
Don’t worry about me, I got people I *pay* to worry about me.
Well, you’ll just have to accept the freebies as well.
It’s the metrosexuals!
Guilty as char… what?
Beta males, or metrosexuals, have thereby become the ideal for far too many people.
Does Kathy from Kansas (last name Kovacs) even know what these terms mean?
“Emo flu.” jim belts another dinger!
And suddenly I understand why Robin has patients, assuming she does: there are people out there who actually *are* less sane than she, and must truly admire her.
She’s a social worker. She has patients because it’s impossible to get a non-crazy person to do the job of social worker ($35K a year to spend your 9-5 working with the very most fucked up .1% of society.)
2) It’s been shown that all the estrogen ending up in our water supplies has reduced the sperm counts of American men.
Then why does my wife get pregnant every time we’re in the same room together? Isn’t beer made from our water supplies?
D., I’m hoping Kathy from Kansas was trolling, in which case that is awesome snark.
P.S. Maybe not…

Penis guilt has made it impossible for me to masturbate. Wait, excuse me, need a little private time.

@D: Ugh, “Prezbo” better not be a “Wire” reference. Write whatever the fuck you want, Amurkin Shrinkers, but keep your Cheetos prints off my good TV (if that is indeed what they meant, why do I feel like they probably think the moral of the show is that inner-city black people are all dangerous thugs?)
Also, too: @ITTDGY, is there any surer way of telling a chickenhawk then waiting for them to analogize their situation to being in the military?
Hee hee, the blase adolescent machismo and gigantic ego of the metrosexual kowtowing wimp.

Wait. There exists people WITHOUT daddy issues? Freaks.
“exist”. Wev.
Beta males, or metrosexuals, have thereby become the ideal for far too many people.
They are quite fabulous.
re Prezbo: I assumed it was an attempt at “He’s, like, a faggot, only even more girly, he’s almost a lesbian!” but you’re probably right.
I’ll admit it, my penis has a lot to be sorry for. I’d let it speak for itself but it might tell you about that night in the Denny’s parking lot with Sister Mary Dymphna and the carny troupe. But take my word for it.
Beta males, or metrosexuals, have thereby become the ideal for far too many people.
Don’t forget, this “beta male” she’s talking about is the president…
And I still can’t get over the idea of the egomaniac beta male. These guys are so funny: they push these crazily contradictory theories, and if they are smart enough to notice the contradictions the contradictions themselves become further proof of OBAMA’S poor mental health.
It all comes back to this: he’s a faggot.
These people need to be on some heavy-duty drugs and get some serious counseling. Jesus.
BTW, love the edits to the Stinker logo. The pants around the ankles completely bring the lulz.
Perhaps a corncob rather than the bogroll?
Let me remind you all that this is WOMAN (Kathy from Planet Batshit) who is basically saying that the absolutely worst thing you can be is…a woman. It’s amazing how many misogynists are women.

No ethical psychotherapist would ever attempt to diagnose a person as mentally ill without a thorough examination, and to think of hiding one’s partisan criticism behind diagnostic language is *sick*. (NB: I’m not a psychotherapist, but if I were, I’d emphasize that I mean that in the vernacular.)
Wow. “He doesn’t fit easily into any diagnostic category.” Don’t you hate that?! I mean isn’t it just the most frustrating thing in the world when you look at someone from a distance and see no immediately diagnosable psychosis or disorders? I don’t trust anybody that doesn’t seem to have just stepped out of the diagnostic manual dressed as a mental illness.
Good point, long haired weirdo. I was just looking at the rules of the U.S.C. for Federal Merit System whre they mention that.
One of the tactics of Labor/Management is that they categorize someone as unstable instead of goin to the trouble of filing a meritous grievance. The union will [attempt to] have a union health care ‘professional’ do an evaluation of someone perhaps because they often as not get a kickback from a ‘provider.’ The motivation is usually about politics and money rather than representing a member under contract.

Something tells me that somewhere in her oeuvre, Robin of Berkeley complains about the way that Leftists are always appealing to authority and exaggerating their credentials to make their baseless assertions sound more credible.
Actually, I covered this back in 2002. Where’s my motherfucking hat tip?

Nor would they use the kind of language to talk about their patients that she used to describe Obama.
Then again, a (really fucked up) former friend told me that her mother, who is a therapist, told her that she’s a sociopath. (It’s pretty clear to me she just has serious problems with attachment given her background as an international adoptee, but I’m not a therapist. Or an asshole).

Obama was obviously clinically delusional to believe that a black man could be elected President. And the fact that he carried out his delusion makes him a clinical psychopath who is extremely dangerous. I believe that he should be impeached and imprisoned, and I should get an honorary Ph.D. for using the words “clinical” and “clinically” so well.
The fact that he is also in deep denial about his Kenyan birth only enhances your point Bitter Scribe.
Ye Gods, Goldberg’s a horrible writer. Worse even than he is a researcher.
Nope.
Maybe the whole psychoanalysis bit goes with the impeachment push – they think that he’s crazier than Captain Queeg and are delusional enough to think they can prove it. Good luck with that.

Sounds like somebody missed his nap.
“New troll is incomprehensible. I think it’s broken. Can we return it for a refund?”
They don’t make trolls like they used to. I bet it was made in China out of toxic dog food and lead paint.
It was in the triple digits today and our power just went out. You’re all AChance to me now!!

You guys, and I use that term very loosely, just can’t stand the thought of anyone disagreeing with you, can you. I can’t remember what the Nazis used yellow triangle for
There was a Gallup poll in 2006. 39% of Americans surveyed felt that Muslims should have to carry special identification, even if they were American citizens. When Jerry Klein suggested, as an experiment, that Muslims should be made to wear distinctive tatoos or signs – yellow triangles, perhaps? – quite a few of those 39% called in to congratulate him, with a few suggesting that all should be deported and a few more suggesting that they should be rounded up and brought together – “concentrated,” if you will – in en”camp”ments.
But yes, you’re right, the real threat of fascism in America is the fact that a political satire website routinely prints things you don’t like.
Good night AChance, don’t let the reds under the bed bite.
I’m stealing this.
quite a few of those 39% called in to congratulate him
I’d guess about 69% of the 39%, making 27% of the total?
Seems I’ve heard that number somewhere.
” it turns out ZOMG! “subsidies for electric vehicles?”
The actual headline reads:
Failing to back clean energy will cement GOP’s minority status
I think having association with whack-jobs like AChance is good enough to cement the GOP’s minority status.
I’m getting tired of just stepping on your stupid comments, I’m going to start screwing your girlfriends;
Taik mah grrlfrenz plz!
Did A Chance’s post got eated? And will I really miss it?
Nymstradamus – looks that way, and no.
A chance
A chance
To tell you how I feel about you
How it feels to live without a chance
A chance
To tell you I’ll love you forever
Knowing that I’ll never have a chance
Sometimes reality hurts
And you wonder if life’s worth living at all
Knowing no matter how much you care
You’ll never have a prayer
Of having what you want
At least I’ve been close enough I could taste
Beauty at it’s best but never a trace of
A chance
A chance
To tell you how I feel about you
How it feels to live without a chance
A chance
To tell you I’ll love you forever
Knowing that I’ll never have a chance
A chance
A chance
To tell you I’ll love you forever
Knowing that I’ll never have
The chance

I loves it! I feel some vicarious pride, since I think I was the one who initially noted that it looked like Unca Sam was straining over a difficult dump, which got the TP and the plunger added in the first place. I gives my hearty endorsement to the improvements!
The Corn-federate Flag is a nice touch, also.

“To feel the warmth of hot bright vibrant teenage prank release of the avant-minding”
Whatever this sentence may have meant in the original Thai, the Google translater has perfected it.
I’m going to start screwing your girlfriends; obviously you’re not capable of doing them any good.
Dude, I hate to tell you this, but my girlfriend has no interest in cock.
At least, cock that’s not plastic, if youknowhatImeanandIthinkyoudo….
I was going to go to Inception 10 minutes late, but I decided it was more important to kill the thread.
T&U, is this what you mean?

If you are going to start screwing our girlfriends you better try looking some other place than the airport mens room stalls.
Actually, it may have been zsa.
I do remember way back in the mists of time commenting on how that needed to be p-shopped…but it may have been on a post where the author just linked to the Stinker site. In any case, obviously I wasn’t the only one who saw the t-shop possibilities inherent in the Stinker logo, and perhaps not the first, either.
Why oh why did I get out of the boat?
Because Obama will not change. He will not learn from his mistakes. He will not grow and mature from on-the-job experience. In fact, over time, Obama will likely become a more ferocious version of who he is today.
If I thought this person was half as intelligent as Hanlon’s Razor denies she must be, I’d think this passage above was the main point – a sleazy pre-emption of the royal ass-kicking the author must know is due the Conservative movement- and fears will come from Obama, who to be sure would do a thorough job of it, if he could be arsed.
It must be a coincidence due to the fact that they’re both crazy that she and Bill Kristol can write the same occasionally.
Betcha can’t say “Boy Goat” ten times fast.
Yep. That boy goat sure is a tongue twister.
T&U, is this what you mean?
I do not wish to see your Leghorn.
So our power came back on last shortly after I left my last message and I can only assume it’s because you all prayed for me. So, thanks for that. It’s nice knowing Jesus wants me to have AC. And by AC, I do not mean AChance.
Elizabeth Warren was fine; she was eloquent, even in the job-o-work position of pushing the Administration line to the Nutroots, and she made those charts and graphs sing. I’m sorry I couldn’t get you a picture, but mine came out all shaky; Brad Reed kept jostling the table with his erection.
Guess who?

Guess who?
I lolded.
Obama suffers from the most debilitating affliction in the movement conservative list of emotional/mental disorders: He’s an adult.
Now if he could just come to the realization that the majority of the opposition is composed of spoiled, petulant toddlers who will not believe government can work. The rest are adults who do believe it can work, but have a vested interest in impeding its goals.
Neither group is inclined to cooperate or compromise. They will not (and to some extent cannot) be part of the solution.
Mr. Obama, take your lumps for failing at bi-partisanship. It never stood a chance.
All this metrosexual business, when our Founding Fathers wore wigs. You can be an alpha male and still get a nice haircut and wear a suit that fits. Hell, all the alpha males do that. You aren’t butch just because you refuse to wear deodorant.
And you know, THE PRESIDENT is by definition an alpha male. It’s almost as if these folks use words without knowing anything about them other than a hazy sense of OOH BAD, but that would be unpossible.
Great point Tigris.
Interestingly Kathy from Batshit seems to require many things from the president that would immediately disqualify Sarah Palin, whom I’d bet folding money she adores.
In fact, over time, Obama will likely become a more ferocious version of who he is today.
The sooner the better.
[A] “lot of what R of B says is exactly what many armchair psychologists on the left said of Dubya.”
Almost everything they say about President Obama is stuff we said about Dubya, from the armchair psychoanalysis to the policy assessments to the cheap gags. They are totally lacking in creativity, and in understanding of what our actual complaints were.
I even saw a Teabagger holding a sign reading “Will Someone Please Give Him a Blowjob So We Can Impeach Him?”, blissfully unaware of how we coined that phrase to contrast the trumped-up nonsense under which Clinton was impeached with the blatant crimes for which Bush was not.
[To say nothing of the fact that if President Obama let it be known he wanted a blowjob, there would be a line past the Smithsonian of women and men volunteering, while it’s doubtful that anyone would be willing to take one for the team on Dubya’s account.]
Not even G. Gordon Liddy?
I love it when this illiterate whackjobs say, “We know so little about the facts of his life.”
Does the word “autobiography” ring any bells? He wrote two fucking books about the facts of his life!
Meanwhile, in the dramatic irony department, they’re experts on “Jesus”.
I’m struck by the numerous assertions of Obama’s character (“he’s flat,” “he’s aggressive”, “he’s thin-skinned”, “he has a gargantuan ego,” “he’s out of touch”) backed up by….absolutely no concrete examples.
Not one quote. Not one example. Not one citation.
Me too. I was following Wo’C and wingnuts were coming up with this right from the beginning. Talk about reading into things (not to mention p r o j e c t i o n).
Regardless of whether his pubic image rubs you the wrong way
fixt.
Obama suffers from the most debilitating affliction in the movement conservative list of emotional/mental disorders: He’s an adult.
Well, I think what pisses wingnuts off about adults is their habit of pointing out reality and stating when the ideas of idiots are, in fact, idiotic. And they keep doing it over and over again – “Cutting taxes to cure a defict is stupidity”, “A country with rising division between rich and poor will not stand”, “Never get involved in a land war in Asia”. Essentially they hate adults for nagging them.
So their major problem with Obama is that they think he’s a nagger. I have no idea why they just don’t come out and say this…
First off — Best. Photoshop. EVER!!! Seriously. That’s fucking genius.
jim’s rant upthread is brilliant (I am totes stealing “emo flu”). One quibble, however:
You forget: They have to paint Obama has an unstable, treacherous — dare I say, an angry — black man.
It’s just another in a long list of dog whistles they tend to blow in order to get their base all riled up.*
I really thought they’d be less obvious about it, but at this point I’m not sure why they don’t just yell “NIGGER! NIGGER! NIGGER!” and get it the hell over with already. All this being sneaky about it is just annoying.
