Since Saturday Night Live finally made fun of Obama, CNN saw only one option: To fact check them!
I didn’t know people fact-checked comedy; that could be a problem for us here at IMAO. We might even have to hire an ombudsman to correct things, but for now I thought I’d fact check myself.
SOME IMAO FACT CHECKING
* Obama does not frequently get his head stuck in a bucket.
* Joe Biden is not constantly outsmarted by squirrels.
* A pile of dirty rags would not make a better president than Obama as it would be unable to read from a teleprompter.
* It’s not actually legal in any state to punch a hippy.
* Obama is not just as bad as Carter. Carter is the absolutely worse possible, and all other just approach his level of failure asymptotically.
* Pelosi’s skull is not trying to escape her face. Her face is trying to run behind her skull.
* If a ninja bites you, you don’t become one.
* Just because Obama likes the Hollywood crowd doesn’t mean he’s pro-rape. By all indications he’s quite neutral on that subject.
* Nuking the moon would not be the absolutely best foreign policy decision right now. That would be the creation of a space laser.
* Monkeys are not plotting the downfall of our civilization. They’re too easily distracted for that.
* It’s not true to say Obama has never accomplished anything in his life. He once put together a desk from IKEA.
* Obama is not actively trying to destroy the country; it’s really just all incompetence.
* Not all liberals hate America; some consider it no better or no worse than any other country.
* There is no scientific evidence that squirrels are Communists.
* While it is accurate that a badger wearing a jaunty hat would be a better Senator than Harry Reid, it not a Constitutionally viable option.
So far the Fred Thompson stuff all looks accurate, but I’ll keep checking.
“asymptotically” might be too big of a word for those who would be questioning the facts in your blogs…
Obama has never publicly stated that he likes to wear dresses in private.
Monkeys do fling poo. I watched 5 minutes of Hardball one day before I had to get my lazy a$$ up and get batteries for the remote.
Pulling a person’s finger does not, in fact, faciliate the release of flatulence.
Obama really doesn’t get buckets stuck on his head. The ears are too big.
Superman does not wear Jack Bauer pajamas. In fact, both Superman and Jack Bauer are fictional characters.
All the John Edwards stuff is true, too.
Fact checking SNL. I don’t remember them doing that when Palin got lambasted over and over again!
Check out my new blog if you have time, and let me know if you’re willing to link share!

Cheers!
a new T shirt is born.
I would like one in black 2xl please.
I think the title should be jokes about democrats fact checked for accuracy
then out to the T-shirt factory
Harvey is a real person. “Basil” is not.
FTFY.
I am not really a paper cutout of a person’s shadow.
* It’s not actually legal in any state to punch a hippy.
it is legal in any state if you don’t get caught.
#4 Silhouttte says: Pulling a person’s finger does not, in fact, faciliate the release of flatulence.
However, it does facilitate another speech by the classless disgrace or his henchmen.
There’s absolutely no evidence that Obama has directly added to the scientific knowledge of Global Warming – since he started actively campaigning for President however, hot air has increased temps another 0.6 C in less than 2 yrs. Breaking the old record of 100 yrs.
Now that was scary… I guess I can handle those truthes. Just don’t ever tell me that Buck the Marine doesn’t really hate furriners.
That reminds me. Do you have a publication date for “The Chronicles of the Won” yet?
O-bah-muhh did NOT visit 57 states during the campaign season
Every Aug/Sept Washington gets all wee-wee’d up.
Rep. Pete Stark doesn’t like wasting urine.
It is only a rumor that Nancy Pelosi is a Constipationist, she’s as regular as they get.
Muslims don’t believe O-bah-muhh is a Christian because they’ve never seen his Long Form Baptismal Certificate
Michaelangelo never got around to the ‘Pull My Finger’ Thought Balloon for his ‘The Creation Of Adam’ Fresco.
Just out of curiosity, why would IMAO worry about facts? It would seem that people come here to read or share ARROGANT OPINIONS
* It may or may not be true that IMAO fact checkers check themselves. Besides, we don’t need no stinkin’ checking fact checking fact checkers.
It is true that IMAO readers do not need fact checkers because we are smart enough to decipher what is fact, fiction and teh funny.
If I were to apply for the post of IMAO ombudsman, do I have to be able to pronounce the word “ombudsman”?
Will the ombudsman be told the almighty secret of what the letters IMAO stand for?
Can the ombudsman get copies of the Limey e-mails, complete with Bolshevik Red background?
*Terrorists actually have adequate spelling and grammar.
I knew that Instapundit guy really did blend puppies.
Some people actually seem think that was a joke or something.
One fact worth examining here is the claim that, factually, some IMAO bloggers AND commenters aren’t, in fact, real. As a matter of fact, and for example, I give you Frank J. and ussjimmycarter. Have you actuallyl SEEN their faces together – for a fact? Really SEEN them? Like put them side-by-side and looked at them? I mean, come on.
Another is Socrates, who now comments so seldomly that he might as well be a ghost. And ghosts are not facts the last I checked. As a matter of fact, dontcha think it’s odd how some comments here just seem to write themselves even though the person’s existence is so factually questionable? Really FACTUALLY, I mean. We’re dealing in facts here, not conjecture.
So, for starters, fact check this: I am not ussjimmycarter ! I may use the name ‘jimmy’ but I am certainly not him. No way. In fact, while I question the fact that some have claimed he’s my alter ego, there’s no way that he (if he does exist) could be me. I mean, the fact is, the guy hangs out with Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama while sidelining shooting bears from helicopters for Sarah Palin. I mean, that’s just @#$@*%-up.
And for Socrates, well if he ever starts commenting here again, I think you ladies should pinch him, just to see if he’s real. That’s a fact.
BTW, I’d like to change #18 to “stinking fact check checking fact checkers.”
* Not all liberals are complete idiots. Some are deceased.
It has not yet been proven that Obama practices sitting in front of a long mirrror, trying to smoke a cigar with sidelong glances at the teleprompter trying to blow love circles of smoke towards the teleprompter.
The same people at CNN have now “fact checked” Celebrity Jeopardy, and it turns out that Wolf Blitzer not only won, but set a new high-point record.
Helen Thomas is not dead and is not a zombie.
Wait . . .
It really isn’t the media’s job to background check Obama’s appointees.
…but it is their job to background check anybody who questions Obama.
CNN, like college students everywhere, gets most of its news from SNL and Letterman. That whole Leno thing, with him leaving the reservation and striking off on his own, caught them by surprise. Now they don’t know who to trust, and they are getting worried. That d__n Kool Aid just isn’t hacking it, anymore.
Since we can now trust CNN to have fact checked all political SNL sketches, and Obama’s wa sthe only one raising flags.
Palin must really be dumb, and think she sees Russia from her house; which saddens me.
But not as much as finding out that PALAMINO Pelosi is real and in fact entirely factually accurate.
** Disclosure, since its too late now. I’ve been investing in “mind-bleach” and sales have been off lately.
PALAMINO!
* It’s not true to say Obama has never accomplished anything in his life. He once put together a desk from IKEA.
patently false. The sense of accomplishment from such an act would be impossible given the current condition of the Big Zero. He has clearly never accomplished anything of any kind. Anything that appears to have been accomplished by him was obviously done by soemone else.
