IMAO EXCLUSIVE!!! SECRET AUDIO TAPE OF HOWARD DEAN REVEALED!!!
BREAKING NEWS!!! MUST CREDIT IMAO!!!
Seems that Doug Wead, who recently exposed Bush’s lying perfidy with the release of secret tapes of private conversations (AS SEEN EXCLUSIVELY AT IMAO!!! MUST CREDIT!!!) has released new tapes of a private conversation with Howard Dean. Below is a just a small portion of the entire juicy transcript:
IMAO EXCLUSIVE!!! MUST CREDIT IMAO!!!
WEAD: So, Howard, George Bush has gone on record as having murdered hookers, thus co-opting the issue for the Republican Party. As the new chairman of the DNC, how do you plan to respond?”
DEAN: We’re going to murder hookers in South Carolina! And Oklahoma! And Arizona! And North Dakota! And New Mexico!
And we’re going to chop them into little pieces in California! And Texas! And New York!
And we’re going to stuff them into wood-chippers in South Dakota! And Oregon! And Washington! And Michigan!
And then we’re going to bring an orgy of bloody mayhem to Washington, D.C.! Where we’ll murder hookers IN THE WHITE HOUSE!… YEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!”
CREDIT IMAO!!! OR LARGE ITALIAN MEN WILL BREAK YOUR KNEECAPS!!!
RWD’s News Roundup – Monday
Welcome readers to IMAO!
I’m RightWingDuck with today’s monologue on the world and what’s happening.
Before I begin, I’d like to offer an apology to IMAO readers.
Last week, I made a comparison of the National Hockey League to the Democratic National Committee. This was inappropriate and I’m sorry if people were offended by this unfair comparison.
One is an organization filled with gap toothed goons who whack each other in the head when their backs are turned — the other is a professional sports league.
The good news is that so far, not a single Democrat has blamed the NHL cancellation on global warming.
Again, my apologies, I just haven’t been myself lately with all this rain!!!!
Here in Southern California we have had a record amount of rainfall.
It’s so wet — if it keeps up at this pace my wife and I might relocate to someplace warm and dry — like Seattle.
Authorities here rushed to the Los Angeles River to investigate reports that some unknown substance had been spotted. Turns out it was just WATER! (Sorry, that’s an LA joke — funny mostly to locals)
The top news story today –it was revealed that author Doug Wead secretly taped George Bush during an interview for his book. On the tape Dubya states, “Do you want your little kid, to say, ‘Hey daddy, President Bush tried marijuana; I think I will?'” said Bush on the tapes. “That’s the message we’ve been sending out. I wouldn’t answer the marijuana question.”
Folks, I believe we have found the real reason that schools nationwide are canceling their spelling bees. Bush is making education seem unnecessary.
“Son, you won’t succeed in life without good spelling!”
“Not true, dad, you’re always misunderestimating me.”
I’m concerned about this news report, of course. I hope this doesn’t affect his chance at reelection!
Bwu-ha-ha-ha. Bwuhahahahahahaha. Oh, sorry
Today was President’s Day!
Hopefully, some of you celebrated with a day off, a nice family gathering, and a trip to see your local Pride Parade.
An organization came out today insisting Lincoln was not gay, as a soon-to-be-released book alleges..
The organization protesting this accusation is made up of descendants of Lincoln’s closest friends: A construction worker, an Indian chief, a police man, and a biker dressed in leather chaps.
CIA Chief Porter Goss announced the other day that Al Queda just might sneak across the Mexican border.
Might?
That’s like saying that Paris Hilton might like being in front of the camera.
Paris Hilton had her cell phone hacked and a complete list of all her celebrity friends and their phone numbers was published for the entire world to be able to call.
Police report that some of her friends have received as many as sixteen phone calls.
So the question has to be asked — what made these celebrities think that Paris can keep anything private?
Anyway, the Bush team took a close look at the Porter Goss statements and then came out with a memo emphasizing the need to add private accounts to Social Security.
So the big question is this; Are these smuggled Al Queda taking jobs from honest American terrorists?
Man, I’m so glad we have a border patrol.
On a personal note, I used to worry that terrorists would smuggle a nuclear warhead and detonate it in Los Angeles. Then I realized — this is where all of their allies live and work. Hollywood is like the Al Queda Green Zone.
But I do worry about the rest of you.
George Bush is embarking on a trip to meet with our allies. He wants to mend fences and convince countries to help us rebuild Iraq. He’ll be meeting with France very soon. If all goes well, they’ll sign on to help us restore order.
No really. Stop laughing. In actuality, it’s really a good idea.
The American troops can help train the Iraqis and the French troops could help train the insurgents.
We’d have them licked in no time.
Philadelphia has announced its plans to create one of the country’s largest Wi-Fi spots.
This will provide a tremendous amount of convenience. If you wanted to protest homosexuality you could protest, pray, and get arrested — all from the comfort of your own home.
Man, this could really help Philadelphia move into the twentieth century.
Great slogan idea: “Philly: the City of Brotherly love — no not you.”
A teacher is in trouble for teaching his students how to make bombs.
When told of this news Ted Kennedy was livid. Are our tax dollars paying for this Madrasa?
What’s education coming to?
As Mary Kay Latourneau would say, “Make love, not war.”
Of course, the teacher is in trouble. A shame too, his next idea showed so much promise – a METH lab!
A woman sold her pregnant belly for use as ad space to the highest Ebay bidder.
True, the woman is pregnant and sold her belly space for the highest bidder to use as advertising.
I wonder if that kind of advertising works at all.
“Quick, Doctor. I need help. My wife is in labor”
“Just one minute, I have this sudden urge for a Pepsi!”
“D’oh. Darn advertisement.”
So this is a growing trend.
One day, a guy will drop his pants to moon the crowd — and he’ll be ticketed – for spam!
A bit of controversy though. She decided to sell her space to the second place bidder. The winner says they may now sue. They mean it too. They got the name of a good lawyer from a guy’s forehead.
You know what would have been great? A tourist ad!
“What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas- most of the time.”
New York has dropped the moniker — the Big Apple.
Now the new slogan is “The World’s Second Home.”
Today John Kerry commented, “Not a bad second home, but it’s a bit cramped.”
I liked the other proposed slogans:
“Come home again and get mugged all over.”
“Every 12th visitor gets a contract with the Yankees.”
“Just like home, but with hookers on your sofa.”
Former ball player, Mike Greenwell of the Boston Red Sox came in second in the 1988 MVP race. He says that he deserves to have the MVP because he played clean that year.
No offense to Mr. Green, but that’s ancient history. Besides, how do you track advantages and disadvantages?
“Sure he hit 38 home runs, but 10 of were off pitchers that were hung over!”
I don’t know about this.
If you find out the Playmate of the Month has breast implants — does Playboy owe you a refund?
Or does it owe you a refund if you find out she doesn’t?
That would change the way young men look at magazines.
“Wow, she’s hot. What’s that on her breast?”
“I don’t know, dude. But I need a Pepsi.”
**
That’s it folks. Have a good evening.
One last request. I’m sure at least ONE of these jokes made you chuckle. Please post your favorite one in comments. Remember, I can’t hear you laugh.
Fun Trivia
IMAO EXCLUSIVE!!! MORE OF THE SECRET AUDIO TAPES OF BUSH REVEALED!!!
HUGE SCOOP!!! MUST CREDIT IMAO!!!
In the Saturday NYTimes, Doug Wead revealed he had taped a conversation with the then to be President George W. Bush. The most famous excerpt form that conversation probably is this:
I wouldn’t answer the marijuana questions. You know why? Because I don’t want some little kid doing what I tried.
Only IMAO has gotten its hands on the tapes to show the quote in its full context.
WHAT FOLLOWS IS AN IMAO EXCLUSIVE!!! MUST CREDIT IMAO!!!
BUSH: Now, Gore gave an answer, Weadie, but I wouldn’t answer the marijuana questions. You know why? Because I don’t want some little kid doing what I tried. It’s the same reason I never talk about how I murdered hookers. I don’t want kids to start thinking you’re supposed to murder hookers after you’ve finished your business with them.
WEAD: So you’re not going to say anything about how wild your life was before you became a born-again Christian?
BUSH: No, I don’t think that will help anyone. Let’s say I told everyone how I tried to assassinate the pope – and people do crazy things when they’re young – but, if I did admit to that, then some kid is going to say, “Hey, the president tried to assassinate the pope; I guess it’s okay for me to try.” Who wants that, Weadnik? It’s like when I murdered DEA agents and ran drugs for a Columbian drug lord, I would occasionally “sample” the product. I’m not going to talk about that. I don’t want kids to point to the president and think its okay to steal from drug lords like that; if I were as wise as I am now, I would honor that contract and deliver all the drugs entrusted to me. That’s the principles I want kids to get from me.
WEAD: What about things people are already talking about, like possible gaps in your National Guard service?
BUSH: Sure, Weadie, as most people suspect, I did go AWOL from the National Guard, had my face surgically altered to make me look Asian, and then fought along side the Viet Cong. I won’t be like Gore, though, and just nonchalantly admit to it, because I don’t want kids copying me. It’s not like I’m trying to hide anything; it’s just it would break my heart to see faux-Asian Communists out there because kids are imitating me.
SUPER LUCKY BIG SCOOP!!! YOU CREDIT IMAO NOW!!!
Gratuitous T-Shirt Babe Pic o’ the Day
this is one from the first T-Shirt Babe photo shoot. i don’t remember if i sent it to Frank, but if i did, he probably said he didn’t like it because i wasn’t smiling.
Don’t Tap on the Glass
Hello, kids. It’s your favorite superhero and new IMAO blogger, Aquaman!
As you all know, I have the greatest superpower of all: the ability to talk to fish. Fish have a great many things to say, especially your household goldfish. Goldfish love to swim around their bowls all day. They love it more than anything else. Would they have the ability, they would murder you and everyone you care about to keep swimming in circles forever. It’s funny, I’ve talked to many different goldfish, but pretty much all phrase their love of swimming in circles in terms of who they’d murder to keep up their lifestyle.
But the purpose of this post isn’t to make you scared of your goldfish; I just said all that so you can empathize with how much joy they have in swimming in circles. You know what crushes that joy, though? When someone taps on the glass.
Now, you may not even hear the sound the tapping makes, but, to them, it’s like a drum is being constantly pounded right in their skulls. They tell me over and over that they just wish they could use their fins to operate a gun and blow their brains out rather than deal with the tapping.
Goldfish are very morbid when not swimming in circles.
So, kids, respect your goldfish and don’t tap on the glass. Also, remember to always wear a helmet when riding a bike. If you fall off your bike without a helmet, even I can’t save you (unless you fall into water… and that one is still iffy).
This is Aquaman, signing off.
Call for Prayers.
Say some prayers for the Insta-wife. Hopefully everything will go smoothly.
UPDATE: She is in the recovery room now.
Sweet Satire
My imitation of bloggers at CPAC:
“Dude, where’s my laptop?”
“Dude, where’s your laptop?”
“Dude, where’s my laptop?!”
“Dude, where’s your laptop?!”
“Dude!”
The Quotable (Drunken) Frank J.
You’re probably aware that Frank went to a party on Feb. 12th, where he got a tad tipsy and double–posted.
You probably thought it was funny when he said, “I am the great Frank J.! Worship me!”
Did you know that’s not the only good line he had? For example (and these are all true):
“Do I look more sober in a Ninja stance?” (general query to the assembled guests)
“I love you man…” Frank J to Harvey, to which Harvey responded, “I am so flinging meat at you if you say that again.”
(Which is NOT gay, since it was during dinner and we were having prime rib. I was just threatening a food fight)
“When I met you in person, I found out that you weren’t as much of a jerk as I thought you would be.” Frank J to Harvey
“I don’t know why the Christians are so mad at the Jews for crucifying Christ, because he wound up getting resurrected. No harm, no foul.” (general announcement)
“Don’t be sexy, I’m wearing my dual 45s.” Frank J to SarahK
“I was not taking God’s name in vain…I was just using it in a joke.” Frank J trying (and failing) to placate SarahK.
“Shut up!!!!” Frank J to potted plant. Several times.
Now, someone has posted a large collection of quotes from the party, but the rest of them aren’t from Frank, and they’re mostly not work safe, so I’m not going to give a link to that because I know that the only things that IMAO readers care about are politics and Frank, and they are shocked and appalled by evil, smutty things.
But if there’s sufficient interest, I might be persuaded to drop the links in the comments.
Your call.
Keep Those MSMin’ Hands Off The Bloggin’ Laptops!
Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund reportedly used some blogger’s laptops without asking permission at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday. He apparently did this in two separate incidents to two different bloggers. Some guy and some other guy. Never once asking permission nor thanking either blogger for the use of the laptops.
You don’t just grab a blogger’s weapon of choice, fire off an email or two, walk away without a word and live to tell the tale. Not any more than you grab a marine’s rifle out his hands, pop off a few rounds and throw it down like Michael Moore dropping a freshly cleaned hambone without getting your severely thrashed [pinky toe] torn off and handed back to you. It’s just.not.done.

So THAT’S Why It’s a Group Blog Now
Would you dare to doubt Frank J.’s wisdom in making IMAO a group blog?
Sure! We ALL would!
It’s obviously the silliest idea to ever bubble out of Frank J.’s skull.
The funny thing is, he’s never explained WHY he’s doing it, which has the unfortunate consequence of encouraging rampant, baseless, Eason-Jordan-ish speculation.
As in, for example, this Top 10 list from Basil of Basil’s Blog.
I think #4 is probably the most accurate, although there IS circumstantial photographic evidence for #1.
