YES, I’m afraid it’s true. While rebutting a typically moronic Clownhall argument against potential DOJ investigations of the Bush Administration, Marcy uttered the word "blowjob".
And judging from the reactions from the MSM hothouse flowers whuffling in self-righteous indignation, including David Shuster’s co-anchor, Tamron Hall, Marcy should be immediately shipped off to Gitmo for such an offense. Just think of all those innocent six year-olds watching MSNBC who will now be scarred for life!
And yet . . . there was nary a peep from any of these usual suspects when, on the same day, Pat Buchanan called for the murder of Bristol Palin’s baby daddy:
BUCHANAN: “Well, first, with regard to Levi, I think First Dude up there in Alaska, Todd Palin, ought to take Levi down to the creek and hold his head underwater until the thrashing stops.“
In fact, the MSNBC anchors just chuckled amongst themselves at their wacky old uncle Pat. What a card he is, recommending the intentional drowning of a comparatively uneducated kid who has, with impressive precision, called Republican war goddess and professional grifter Sarah Palin out on her shit. In fact, they were so pleased with Buchanan’s hate speech that they let him repeat the "joke" later in the day! Comedy is just tragedy plus time, right?
Our society really is incredibly fucked up. Sex and the words affiliated with sex = bad, violence = good. Movies with male and female full frontal nudity get X (for manparts) or R (for vajajays) ratings. Movies with gratuitous, overly glamorized violence get a PG-13. And we wonder why this country has such a bizarre gun fetish?
Marcy, my recommendation for you, when you get your own news show – and you should – sign off each night with : "Good night . . . and good blowjob."

Blowjob! Blowjob! Blowjob!
That’s IT, Mister. You’re outta here!
What’s all this fuss about a blowjob? What else would you call it when you use a stream of propelled air to clear the leaves off your lawn?
All day long, it’s been blowjob, blowjob, blowjob.
I would have thought watertiger would have gone for more elevation this evening! The deficit, the energy bill – but no, she heads for Gingrich’s private study…
Oh, wrong knob. Never mind.
It wouldn’t be nearly so scandalous, except that a lot of Republicans aren’t getting any.
Heh. I really suck.
Thanks watertiger, great catch on the WaPu’s Jim (Church Lady) Brady’s
attempt to ambush Jane and other bloggersBlogger’s Ethics Panel, an important moment in FDL’s history.Hooooray Marcy!
Oh, Watertiger – you have a way with words!
Geez, after the Sotomayor
hearingposturing, I went out to do some errands, read magazines at the bookstore, y’know, acting like nothing was goin’ on I should know about….andwhen I get back, not onlly was Marcy on with Shuster (I’d have stayed home for that!), but she started a firestorm?
Uh, WT, any links to the firestorm for those of us who are still behind?
oh gawd…
You got spunk, I’ll give you that.
Since Bill Clinton invented blowjobs, the GOPedia pundits have been busy trying to locate the rare event so they can see if it’s as fun as some seem to think. Marcy merely reminded them of their own professional frustration at their inability to locate the elusive quarry. To them, she was taunting them, possibly hiding one from them. Oh, the horror inflicted upon them by another mean liberal!
jane’s post from earlier has Howie Kurtz’s “Camille”-like collapse on his fainting couch. linked above.
also, HuffPo has a piece on it, and Gawker and Wonkette enjoy Marcy’s refreshing honesty.
(can only link one at a time in comments)
Now how do you know Larry Craig wasn’t getting any?
I’ve always thought they were slightly overrated. I can’t help but be nervous putting something I value highly in such close proximity to so many teeth.
If Ed Murrow could see the state of today’s MSM, I think he’d be happy for Marcy to reformulate his famous nightly closing line, “Good night and Good luck.”
It’s what they deserve for giggling as if embarrassed over a consensual sex act, while normalizing whimsical murder, the calling of presidents apes and gorillas, and demanding sanctions against sitting federal judges because they enforce the law rather than bend to GOP whims.
Teddy put up a post at Dkos that has about 440 comments on it.
Nice touch with the Carlin video.
Well with that kind of reaction she should have said fuck! Funny how they get their knickers in a knot over a blowjob, but not torture. Exchuse me, “enhanced interrogation.”
Howie’s married to a power hungry GOP lobbyist. I think he’d faint at being paid attention to.
heh, heh… he said “spunk”
;~P
Mostly they seem to be into giving them.
None of this would have happened if the country hadn’t been made to dance the Lindy Tripp.
I said a lot of Republicans aren’t getting any. It seems that those that are find a way to broadcast it to the world.
Once again, it wasn’t the blowjob that landed Clinton in hot water, it was lying about it while under oath.
I agree that state sponsored murder and mayhem is the real obscenity. This cognitive dissonance is part of the baggage that comes with living in a country founded by Puritans.
And Bobo missed his big chance.
Wow, WT, I thought you would have gone with the AP’s outrage that Sonia Sotomayor wore a suit the Senators had already seen for her first hearing today.
He was a cunning linguist.
OMG – just checked the Gawker post – I can’t believe they cut her off! Jeez.
Is it Sotomayor’s fault that the RNC wouldn’t spring for a new $150,000 wardrobe for her, too?
What?????
What, and pass up the opportunity to make dick jokes?!?!?
The AP needs to be shot into the sun, along with Pat Buchanan.
HaHaHa!!! Too funny. Good night…
What I find so interesting about this (and it blew my mind when she said it, but in a good way) is that kids wouldn’t be suspicious and curious about the word blow-job. They’d think of a gardener blowing weeds away, or a giant spit wad through a straw or a quick job you didn’t care about keeping.
Only the adults could make the word dirty to kids.
IMO the ideal blow job would involve Pat Buchanan, a space shuttle, and an airlock.
Once was a GE anchor,
whom Marcy did turn to anger.
Her pearls Tamryn did clutch,
since Wheeler’s language was too much,
and a good Villager has no patience for candor.
I see no need to wish physical harm, even to Pat Buchanan, when wishing permanent laryngitis would accomplish the same end.
They (white male prigs) like to watch and listen. I give you the Starr Report. Talk about porn!
Blowjobs are only permissible when US Senators are providing them to Goldman Sachs executives.
Teddy has (or had) a #1 at orange.
No. Pat Buchanan need to be locked in the ninth ring of hell, waiting on blacks, Asians, and Hispanics whom he has to call “sir” and “ma’am” and bow to.
I confess that I do not know how to work the Orange Satan. Its layout confuses and frightens me.
On the other hand, if all Goldman Sachs execs wanted for their contributions was Senatorial blowjobs, I could be persuaded to look the other way.
Hey Kevin!
And I give you Lenny Bruce, “Blah Blah Blah.”
You are not alone. I fear to venture off the broad, well lighted front page.
I think it was also Carlin who said something along the lines of “just imagine if we substituted the word ‘f**k’ for the word ‘kill’ in movies and television” and he gave the example of bad guys having captured the local Sheriff:
“Sheriff, we’re gonna f**k ya … but we’re gonna f**k ya slow!!!”
I always thought that was pretty good.
ding. bonus points for the “vajayjay” usage.
CLAPS!
I knew a snooty millionaire Republican businessman who treated his managers to sex with prostitutes. They went to a seedy apartment. There was a can of Campbell’s soup with a spoon in it on the table. You could see his Bruno Magli’s sticking out from behind the filthy drapes.
Just register, and you’ll see the diaries on the right hand side. You can read without registration, but you can’t comment.
Just click on the title you wish to read. Good stuff, which, if it’s recommended a lot, usually gets spotlighted in the evening when all the staff wishes to sleep!
Blowjob.
tee-hee.
titter-titter.
can’t say titter either can ya?
According to Republicans and the MSM, no one ever gave or received a blow job other than Bill Clinton. Clinton invented the blow job and instructed Lewinsky in how to do it.
That sounds like a car dealership I worked for a million years ago. That trailer out back was limited to ’sales bonuses.’ There were no female salespersons.
“snooty millionaire Republican businessman” = Car dealership Owner in the Go-Go 80’s
Edit: I was not in sales… :-(
And then pressured to the democrats to pass the Blow Bill Job Bill. It’s all a nightmare.
Progressive Alaska covers the Buchanan-being-a-Good-Old-Boy and the Wheeler Scandal
Actually Bill was teaching Monica to smoke cigars. He simply didn’t want to break out a Cuban until she’d perfected her technique.
Of course, Bill O’Reilly invented sex with falafel. But that is classified.
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/a…..kris1.html
So what exactly were all those Republican politicians doing in the men’s restrooms?
Yes, this guy is a car dealer.
Judging from all the toe tapping they must have been listening to their iPods.
OT, but this shocking news should be of interest to WT:
Probably didn’t invent it but he owns it now.
Damn, Marcy gives good talking head. Hope they have her on more often. It’s “good TV” as they say in the biz.
Has it been verified that O’Reilly actually knew what a falafel is?
He meant loofah. Strange mistake but look at the source. Then again, he talked about using it to soap her “garbanzos,” so maybe he did know what it meant.
No. The evidence suggest that he meant a loofa. I am almost afraind to think of what he is eating at the falafel stand.
Owe you a frosty one, what’cha having?
otherwise known as the “pussy purr”
I’m feeling exotic, how about a diet A&W?
Oh, if only CNN would spice up their act like that for once!
PS: I’m not saying my company’s memory foam mattresses will improve Marcy’s lovelife, but it might be worth a shot.
Is anyone concerned that Mz. Wheeler might be blackballed from media due to today’s incident?
The MSM is NOT prog friendly . . . .
Billo, bastion of morality and Family Values for others, conflated his penis with a soapy loofah and a falafel thingy. Then he paid, paid, paid to make Andrea Makris fuggetaboutit.
To his credit (I suppose), teh Gooper Matt Lewis didn’t blink when it popped out. Says a lot about the colloquial nature of the phrase.
MSNBC – get over yourselves, unless of course you wanna fire MorningJoke for saying ‘fuck’ on your air.
Phhphht. They PAID for that study?!
I could have told them that for free.
Ah, Mary is here.
OT a NYT story about “difficulties” closing Guantanamo by David Johnston and Elisabeth Bumiller so very serious in a Village kind of way.
Re indefinite detention:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07…..1&hpw
It will also have bells and whistles and be unconstitutional as hell.
The pity of it is that he didn’t have to tell us how much he paid. I’ll bet it would have bought a fuck of a lotta loofahs.
Coming right up. *slides frosty mug down the bar*
The only one who “blinked” was Hall.
It’s clear though that O’Falafel understood quite well what it meant to cheat on his pregnant wife with the “hot Italian women,” and what a vibrator does, since he talked about how much he liked putting one in his anus.
Those and other nuggets from our religious “family values” crusader are also in the transcript
Hey! Dude. Heard a rumor about a story about a blow job.
Once, years ago, I asked my male hairdresser to give me a blow job. I got really embarrassed.
Hasn’t bothered anyone in Washington so far.
I mentioned that possibility in an earlier thread. Much ado about nothing but that is the MSM stock in trade. Be a shame because we need people like Marcy on TV.
Gracias!
I assume he sent you to the shampoo girl in the back…
It’s as if Bernard Black had performed Cobumbo on live television.
where I got all lathered up.
I had a friend who did a gig as an exchange student in the Dominican Republic. After getting catcalls from some construction workers she turned and yelled an expletive in Spanish that translates as “suck my dick!” Needless to say, they were incapacitated by laughter.
Doesn’t take much.
Today we had lots of discussions about blowjobs because Kathy Griffin said she didnt like to give them and this prompted a google search where in we learned lots of women think they are icky. No wonder divorce rates are so high! Marcy, THANK YOU for saying blowjob. Because the world needs more blowjobs!
lather. rinse. repeat.
Fuckin A.
Blowjob, what’s the problem?
We have a national blowjob holiday.
My husband just walked by the room and said the very same thing.
OK this one’s been teed up so temptingly I can’t resist, but here it is:
When discussing the details of what went on between Monica and Bill, the appropriate euphemism is the she gave him an “enhanced interrogation”.
In Kathy’s defense, she has been known to pal around with Steve Wozniak. Probably need some sort of hydraulic device to lift his pooch out of the way… Unless you gained access from the… no, let’s not think about that.
You always were my favorite here.
I will second that!
Just more proof Marcy belongs in Congress…
Kathy’s always trying to get a rise out of people, though.
Time for me to head out. Take care all. What this country needs now is blow jobs stimulus bill!
Evening, all-
I would argue that there are very few human problems that cannot be solved by the correct application of a blowjob.
There. The solution was right in front of us all the time.
G’nite.
Time for me to blow outta here too. Splendid evening to all.
‘night DrDick. As always.
RonD !
My next diary was going to be on celibacy & yoga … *g*
I wager George W Bush never got a Blowjob from Laura… for that matter Dickie boy most likely never did either!! I guess thats the reason the ReichWingNuts think Blowjob is evil but killing an innocent is OK with them. Being they love to see body parts as long as they aren’t attached to the body!!.
G’nite DrD, ratfood !
Of course it was the blowjob. Every politician lies, not all of them get the Oval in the Office.
Ya know, this whole dust-up might make for a good opportunity to fill up that oddly shaped thermometer on the right side of this page until it bursts. So if you have an extra wad of cash laying around you might want to unload, help us make it explode in any way you’re able.
(be right back…gotta have a cigarette…)
Not from Laura, but there’s a certain “reporter” from Talon News that was checking into the White House, and not checking out until the next day, that could get to the bottom of this story.
Petro!!!
Well, good research includes a diverse range of experiments….*g*
I am surprised that the little thermometer hasn’t turned more red today. I gave another $25. Come on you people out there. We need to fund the mistress of smart!
I assume every President has had sex in the Oval Office at some point, just to be able to say he did it.
It seems that Tamron and Shuster just can’t deal with anything remotely connected, even in imagination, to phalluses and thus to sex:
http://gawker.com/5305869/phal…..g-of-msnbc
I don’t know about Laura. Odds are she did. Dubya got plenty of blow jobs from prostitutes along the TexMex border. Same for Dick. The proprietors of that hunting camp where Dick shot his friend likely brought in some prostitutes at that time.
https://secure.firedoglake.com/page/contribute/MarcyWheeler
Certainly worth a few shillings.
And there’s always Bohemian Grove for fun and games.
I didn’t say he Never got a Blowjob.. just not from Laura.. And as for Dickie goes … would you stick you wee wee in Lynn’s mouth???
Laura said, “Georgie, now. Just hold still I am tryin’ to find the little suckee. And quit your whining.”
okay, now THAT’S going too far.
Hey MMcc I sent you an email at the hothouse about the 25th..
Lord. I had a boyfriend who drove right into the grove. Pretended that he didn’t know what it was. The security guard got a little tweaked.
I have a new email. mary at mccurnin design dot com. (and a new website if anyone is interested)
with redwoods it’s always the bigger they come, the harder they fall.
LOL..
Was Lynn ever good looking?
Not about that. It’s about the whole wolverine personality thing.
Like mother, like daughter, too.
OK “You have Mail”
Those big redwoods give the guys ideas and they get those little blue pills and …….
You got that right Newt. And a brain the size of a pea
Hey they don’t live in California Where the real Redwoods live..
Not yet.
Size aside, diseased for sure. Or warped, or misshapen from a grotesque sense of entitlement.
Can you imagine getting Dick Cheney’s policy proscriptions?
It must be a family thing, cause the flacks do it for teh money.
no bouncie..
NO Fuck NO not for any amount of money I would let him go the way of the Dodo bird
the orginal sin thing and sex.
and we wonder why we are so screwed up and our prisons are overflowing.
we killed over one million vietnamese and did not bat an eye oh sure we protested over the war but look close that was over the draft not the vietnamese being killed.
how many americans are upset about iraqis being killed and have had to leave their country?
the interesting part is that original sin did not make it into the christian religion until a couple hundred of years after jesus died.
original sin someday will be replaced with orginal innocence as all suffering is due to some level of ignorance and ignorance has its home in innocence.
deep I know but simple really if one gives enough thought to it.
bush is a war monger and clinton had some oral sex outside of his marriage and guess what the repubs think is worst.
So you are NOT Ron Christie – Whew, I was worried for a minute there.
Wonder if this ties in with
Palin and the Falafel Lady
~~~ModNote: Edited/repaired link.~~~
you just wait you will get yours…
If you are thinking of spiking the Jambalaya, remember that there will be other victims.
clinton
hadwas CAUGHT having some oral sex outside of his marriageSpike the Jambalaya? With what? weed?
A little dash of this, a little dash of that.
Lying about sex. Like that never happened before Clenis.
Hell, makes you want to be French.
Withdrawn. Sorry.
You’re absolutely right … this faux outrage is beyond stupid.
Condi referred to Dubya as “my husba …” and did any reporter try to dig deeper ?
You know, its that if you are a republican it is okay because God loves you best and will forgive anything you do theory. The problem with dems is when they get caught they haven’t figured out how to weasel out of it.
My wife just read that over my shoulder and said, “If it wasn’t worth lying about, you weren’t doing it right.”
I love her so much.
He: Wanna go to my place?
She: What?!!!
He: I thought you wanted to blog about your ideals.
She: I love blogging.
Not in that special corner of it reserved just for you!! I am growing a variety of Caribbean Habanero they turn red and are tiny but shit they pack a heat wave. I used one itsy bitsy teeny weenie one today in the beans for the fajitas and while cooking you could hardly breath in the whole room… had to open all the doors and it was 97 today here… Even Julie was choking and sputtering.. And the beans…. well lets just say they were HOT!!
Nah they just go to confession…
The FCC has no power to control the content of cable stations. They aren’t broadcast over the public airwaves. This reference is tame. When is the FCC going to issue fines against LimbaUgh for his references to Gordon Brown catching “anal poisoning” from Obama on over 600 BROADCAST stations during prime time? That slanderous remark against two major figures was not only an explicit reference to sexual acts and excretory organs but made anything that Carlin did seem like witty kids play. There’s a lot more social and artistic value in the Carlin skit than anything Limbaugh said.
We handed them the weapon and told them where to aim it. And we stand thee with the bullseye on our chests and help them aim even now.
No balls. It’s about the hypocrisy, stupid. We need to relearn to fight.
No argument.
okay, she is a catch.
How did you rope her?
Often, the response to a wingnut should be “Get a life.”
Dubya has stated that he “was looking for Chinese girls” back when he travelled to Peking when Poppy was ambassador. I’m sure that the Communist authorities were more than willing to “compromise” the ambassadors son…with photos of him involved with a minor girl or a boy. I’m surprised that such pics never came to light during his 8 years…but maybe the Chinese got everything they wanted from Dubya.
Sounds like a job for that Hamsher chick.
Prolly dressed up in his cheerleader outfit and all.
Scotch Bonnets? Evil they are.
The Glee Club was always his favorite, wasn’t it?

The Scotch Bonnet is one of the world’s hottest peppers, hotter than habanero’s.
They are grown in the Carib, in the islands, mahn. Despite the name, they are Carib grown.
Nasty lil effers, they are. *G*
Next year then!
With verve and gusto! *G*
The really neat thing is: if the Villagers et al want to make a bigger deal out of this, it gives the original comment more circulation. The truth will spread, even if the folks spreading it are shocked, *shocked* at the terminology. Heh.
Where was all the media outrage when Jeff Gannon was visiting the WH? Does the media just get moral when they think they have something on a democrat.
Two Americas for politics and sex.
To quote Lou Grant “I hate spunk!”
