Fred’s Best Line (A Contest) Part 4 of 3: The Results

First, I want to apologize for the delay. I had some issues with my ISP. Fred will be kicking them into the sun shortly.

The winners are, in chronological order:

Deafdog:

This country has shed more blood for the freedom of other people than all the other nations in the history of the world combined, and I’m tired of people feeling like they’ve got to apologize for America.

A. W.:

So let me get this straight. You want me to play essentially myself, a man with a thick Tennessee accent and real conservative values — not the moderately liberal values that passes for ‘conservative’ in New York — and you want this character to be the elected D.A. of New York City?

Dohtimes:

I’m not bragging, but I discovered the cure for Irritable Pig Syndrome. I called it Bacon.

I will be contacting the winners shortly for mailing information, so set your spam filters for “stun”.

For those deemed unworthy and/or non-participatory, you are still invited to participate in what’s left of America’s capitalist system by purchasing a copy of “Teaching the Pig to Dance” from Premiere Collectibles for $25 plus shipping.

The fact that your father has forgiven you for that one thing he caught you doing when you were a kid (oh… you KNOW the one I’m talking about, you little scoundrel, don’t play dumb with me) means that he’s worthy of receiving such a precious gift for Father’s Day.

An Easy Mistake to Make

Turns out President Obama’s seemingly out of touch reaction to the Gulf oil spill disaster was all the result of a simple misunderstanding.

When his advisers told him he needed to spend more time on the “Gulf Coast,” he thought they said that he needed to spend more time on the “Golf Course.”

Oops!

Top Ten Barack Obama Tough Guy Lines

President Obama is acting all tough now, saying he wants to find “whose ass to kick” about the oil crisis. He really is a tough guy of action. Don’t believe it? Then just look at some of the things he’s said at recent speeches:

TOP TEN BARACK OBAMA TOUGH GUY LINES

10. “See what I have on here? These are my ass-kicking pants. Stop calling them mom jeans.”

9. “Time to open a can of whupass! …Oh, but not this can; it isn’t certified organic.”

8. “I am here to kick ass and chew arugula, and I’m all out of arugula because of the high prices at Whole Foods.”

7. “Let me be clear: Your ass is mine!”

6. “Got your organic whupass now, but it’s in a jar, not a can. Time to open it! Errrr… Hmm, let me just run it under some hot water and pound it against a counter a few times and then it’s whupass!”

5. “My name is Barack Obama. You spilled oil in my gulf. Prepare for finger pointing.”

4. “I ain’t got time to bleed… but I probably have enough time to finish a round of golf.”

3. “I’m here to kick ass and take names. Mainly to take names. Please fill out this census form.”

2. “Watch out: It’s not only my close personal friends I throw under a bus.”

And the number one Barack Obama tough guy line…

New Political Party Names

You ever think that maybe the two parties are too far gone and it’s time to start over? Like, instead of making third parties, we should just agree to disband both the Republican and Democrat parties and start over with brand new parties in their place. What should we name the two parties, though? Here’s a few ideas:

NEW NAMES FOR THE TWO MAJOR PARTIES

* Freedom Lovers Party and Freedom Is Scary Party

* The Don’t Touch My Stuff Party and the Wussy Whiners Party

* The Guns and Whiskey Party and the Weird Man-Child Party

* The Awesome Party of Awesome and the Mincing Little Sissies Party

* The Don’t Tread on Me Party and the I Have Girl Parts Where Man Parts Should Be Party

* The Rugged Individualist Party and the Please Protect Me Government Because I Don’t Know How to Do Anything Useful Party

* The No Ron Pauls Club and the Commie Pinko Fascist Smelly Hippie Commune

Just a few ideas I had. Got any good new party names?

Random Thoughts

Helen Thomas first got interested in politics from her high school sweetheart, Hitler.

I don’t believe you’re invoking Godwin’s law when you’re talking about someone actually calling for the ethnic cleansing of Jews.

I got a solution for America’s debt: When other countries ask to be paid back, we tell them, “No.”

Suggestion for Helen Thomas replacement: Glenn Beck

New shiny gadget, please give my life meaning before I’m forced to try and find that from religion!

Anti-Semites have descended on my blog today much like Ron Paul supporters used to. Probably the same people.

It appears that some on the left equate “asking tough questions” with crazy ranting.

The Left: “Tea Parties are nothing but racists… and it’s probably all a Jew conspiracy!”

Obama: “I want to know whose ass to kick. Then I will have sex with women. I am masculine.”

Obama: “I will find those responsible and I will hurt them in the ass… er… kick, yes, kick them in the ass. I am tough man.”

Idea for Flotillas

I have an idea of how Israel can handle the flotillas next time with less chance of outrage. When a flotilla comes, they should immediately send commandos to board it, shoot and kill everyone on it, cut off their heads, put the heads into boxes, and mail the boxes back to their home countries.

Here’s my theory: The Middle East and a lot of the rest of the world is so worked up being outraged about Israel that if Israel did something really outrageous, their brains would overload and shut down. It will be like a million voices cried out “Jooooo!” and were suddenly silenced.

It’s Science!

Not Sorry

George W. Bush recently said he was not sorry about waterboarding Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. In fact, Bush said, “My only regret is that we didn’t waterboard him more and to less purpose.” They even released a partial transcript from one of the waterboarding sessions:

BUSH: Now you’re gonna talk, Strawberry Shake Mohammed!

KSM: I’ll tell you everything I know!

BUSH: Not good enough! I want more than you know! Waterboard him!

KSM: **gurgle**

BUSH: Now, what’s your name?

KSM: I already told you: It’s Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

BUSH: I want it to be “Reginald Cummerbund.” Waterboard him until he says his name is Reginald Cummerbund!

KSM: **gurgle**

Of course, we don’t get this fierce determination from our current president. Did you hear what Obama recently said about terrorism?

“Terrorists are just a normal part of nature like the antelope and basalt rock, and we should learn to live with them.”

And instead of waterboarding terrorists, he sits in a drum circle with them and smokes pot. No wonder analysts soon expect Belgium to replace us as a superpower.

That Wacky Helen Thomas

So what do you think about Helen Thomas and her wacky ethnic cleansing ideas?

Now must of the White House press corps are fringe left-wingers who are virulent anti-Semites and also hate black people (as far as I know), but they have the good sense to at least try and not sounds like total nuts all the time. Unfortunately, Helen Thomas lost that good sense when she entered old age and started going senile forty years ago. She should be doing crazy rants at home with her family around her, not to Robert Gibbs in lieu of a question.

I can’t even get too angry at her, I just wonder why her colleagues or okay with her constantly embarrassing herself like this. Of course, I don’t understand the White House Press Corps history, so maybe they’re always supposed to have a crazy ranting person up front. If that’s the case, couldn’t they let Helen Thomas retire in peace and instead get a Ron Paul supporter to take her seat?

Random Thoughts

Glad Thundercats is coming back, but I never got why Mumra didn’t just kill them all when they were distracted with a laser pointer.

If it’s any consolation, Galarraga’s not quite perfect game is getting more attention than an actual perfect game would have. Also, with this experience, I’m sure it will be even easier for him to throw a perfect game the next time.

We need robot umpires who never make mistakes and seldom try to kill all humans.

Maybe it’s time to finally admit that baseball is a sport from back when Americans had longer attention spans and has no place now.

I think our dog has lost weight. For the first time ever, she was able to slip under the gate and run into the neighbor’s house.

Too many countries working on nukes. We need to colonize Mars so we have an escape hatch.

For the record, I don’t actually care whether Obama is focused on the spill or not. I don’t see how he can do anything useful.

Unless he decides to nuke the leak.

How important is it that the president pretend to care about disasters? Politicians are sociopaths; they don’t actually care about anything.

If we want a president who can convincingly pretend to care, let’s elect an actor. Actually, that worked out pretty well last time.

Anyone know what Al Gore’s been doing since the separation because I thought I saw him in my backyard last night.

They tried to get a photo op of Obama cleaning off oil-covered birds, but he kept accidentally killing them. He’s like Lenny.

Helen Cartman: “Why don’t the Israelis go back to San Francisco with the rest of the Jews!”

Let’s not rehash that Obama birth certificate nonsense. He was born in Hawaii; I’ve seen him hula dance.

You know what the left imagines Tea Party members to be like? That’s what Jackie Knotts actually is.

Anyone ever figure out what Grimace from McDonald’s is? As a kid, I always assumed he was the souls of dead samurai given form.

Ends up my grandma left me some government bonds. If I cash those in, will I bankrupt the country?

So has Encyclopedia Brown been rendered completely obsolete by the internet?

Today

No internet at home so I wasn’t able to write posts today. Still, I wanted you to tell you that today is my birthday which I also have declared in the past to be National Gun Safety Day, so just know that if you accidentally shoot yourself today, it’s a personal insult to me.

Entertain yourself by wishing me happy birthday in the comments.

Now!

Fred’s Best Line (A Contest) Part 3 of 3

The final hours tick away. Judgement Day approaches.

And it’s not some namby-pamby Judgement Day consisting of nuclear holocaust followed by an murderous cyborgs with Austrian accents.

We’re talking Fred himself judging your entries.

Last call. Make it count, people.

Here’s the background & rule-related mumbo-jumbo again for folks who came late to the party or who just have short memories:


So the powers-that-be over at the Fred Thompson Show said “Hey Harvey, go promote Fred’s book, ‘Teaching the Pig to Dance’. Here’s 3 signed copies courtesy of Premiere Collectibles you can use for prizes”.

I said “Cool!”

Here’s how it works:

Contest runs 3 days, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. You put in the comments what you think is Fred’s best line. 3 winners are selected from all submissions posted before Midnight on Friday. Winners announced Monday. Prizes are awarded to said winners (assuming they had the foresight to include a working email with their comment and I can get ahold of them to get a mailing address).

“Fred’s best line” means any quote, from any of Fred’s TV shows, movies, his radio show, his YouTube videos, old Lightning Round videos, Facebook, Twitter, etc. that you think totally rocks.

Now, IMAO is not some sort of fact-stickler news organization like CNN or MSNBC, so it’s not like anybody’s going to actually check your quote to see if it’s real. So if you just completely make something up that kinda sounds like something Fred would say, like “If these Democrats don’t stop passing these ridiculous spending bills, I’m gonna grab a copy of the Constitution and beat ’em sensible with it,” who am I to question its truthiness?

For those who do not win, and for those voyeurs who just want to sit and watch while everyone else has fun, signed copies of “Teaching the Pig to Dance” are available for purchase at Premiere Collectibles for $25 plus shipping.

I should note that Father’s Day is coming up fast, and – having read this book – I can tell you that any human male who has survived his “stubborn, stupid, invincible teenager stage” and progressed to the “responsible parenthood stage” of his life will find a kindred soul in the pages of this tome and enjoy it immensely.

Book-plugging time over. Make with the quotes in the commments.

Hey, someone paid for the expensive blog ads space, so I feel I should mention — except it’s the Wall Street Journal so you already know about them. They’re the only newspaper that isn’t hemorrhaging money. They also have on online business model that actually makes money. Anyway, weird how like the only successful paper left is a right-leaning… well, weird in how predictable that is. So check them out, as the ad money they pay helps me not get bored of blogging and abandon it for a new hobby like whittlin’.

Bribing: Where’s My Outrage?

So Obama apparently is making it a regular habit to bribe people with jobs to get them to drop out of races. And what’s the biggest offense here: The illegal bribing or that he does it so unsuccessfully? So far we only have instances of people rejecting the bribe. If you’re going to break the law, at least have some reasonable expectation of success. Now Obama just looks both corrupt and impotent.

And apparently this is all illegal and he could be impeached over it. I was a little surprised by that; it’s hard to tell what’s just the usual scummy political stuff from what’s actually illegal. I’ve never been too keen to impeach Obama because then we end up with Biden, but I think I realize now it would be really really hard to do worse than Obama, plus every so often Biden makes sense.

Still, it seems illegitimate to demand Obama be thrown out over this, because I can’t pretend I’m outraged over Obama incompetently trying to hand out crappy jobs in his administration. To me this is just something I want to make fun of him for, not a source of outrage. It would be like seeking impeachment over him having big funny ears that stick out.

So what do you say? Should we take this very seriously and seek Obama’s head or just continue laughing at him and mocking him?
