Mistaken Identity

Posted by Harvey on December 16, 2009 at 10:00 am

You may have heard that another uninvited couple crashed a White House event and ended up shaking hands with the president.

You also may have noticed that the name of the man involved was Harvey Darden, and just assumed it was me.

Nuh-uh.

Wrong Harvey.

Totally not me.

Had it been me, the story would’ve been all about me punching Obama in the stomach as hard as I could and then claiming that I got him confused with Harry Houdini.

You gotta admit, there IS a striking similarity, so it’s totally plausible:

    well, he is making our money, prosperity and security disappear, so that’s…magical, I guess

  2. Crusty says:

    Obama and Houdini are nothing alike, Harvey. One uses deceit and showmanship to make people believe things that aren’t even possible. The other is an escape artist from the early 1900s.

  3. MarkoMancuso says:

    Excuse me, Crusty.

    One is a man born to white parents. The other is an escape artist from the early 1900s.

    I don’t know. This could be clever obfuscation. Slap a beard on Houdini and he looks a lot like Harvey! And Harvey is kinda magical compared to the Snake Oil salesman on the right.

  5. Crusty says:

    Marko, I didn’t know Frank Marshall Davis was white!

  6. Eric says:

    If any of the policies, practices and efforts Obama is taking are actually successful, he will have out Houdini’d Houdini. Maybe if you translate Husein from Aribic to English it actually is Houdini.

    Differences between Houdinin and present husein:

    One is beloved by millions, the other is a commie pos in charge of the U.S.
    One is a loyal American and the other is a commie pos in charge of the U.S.
    One used slight of hand and misdirection to achieve feats and cause confusion, the other was an entertainer who escaped from unusual situations.
    One bowed to an audieance in appreciation for accolades, the other bows to subject himself to ridicule and suserviance. Oh and is a commie pos in charge of the U.S.

  9. Gunga says:

    You would actually punch Houdini in the stomach? Racist!

  10. IH8Socialist says:

    the difference between Obama and Houdini: is one was entertaining, the other is a commie douche that hate’s the U.S.

  11. Live Free Or Die says:

    They both have eyes of the Lizard People. A Brutha’ might say Harry Houdini was ‘passin’ fo’ a cracka’.

  12. Phelps says:

    The article did say he was in the Navy, so your story is getting shakier.

    Although, it also didn’t say anything about him being a bearded wuss, so I’ll give you the benefit of doubt.

    The article also says that the visitors passed a background check so they were admitted into the room for breakfast… So…I’ve passed MY background check, so I should be able to go enjoy breakfast there, but someone who hasn’t passed their background check can’t have breakfast there…hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    “You may have heard that another uninvited couple crashed a White House event and ended up shaking hands with the president.”

    Well, what makes you think anyone would be asked for the proper ID to visit the White House, when apparently you don’t have to show the proper ID to LIVE at the White House.

  15. Warren says:

    One can remove his own head from a bucket.

    punching Obama in the stomach

    Then how would he be able to butch up when confronted by Vladimir Putin or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or an aggressive Girl Scout Cookie sales-brownie?

  17. Tommy the Towelhead says:

    I don’t know about their differences, but they both would look good in handcuffs.
