Republicans have been blowing their base for the entirety of the Obama Administration as they falsely accuse Obama of being a Muslim (and treating it as a slander), a terrorist, a socialist, a marxist, a dictator, a black militant, a racist, a foreigner, etc. Some have even called for a coup or revolution. They’ve been playing the race-card repeatedly. Much of this thuggish behavior is reported (somehow) on the front-page of David Broder’s own paper yesterday morning.
Yet what causes Broder to put down the Ensure and take notice? A Democrat made a fat crack and it is all Obama’s fault.
And no, as sad as it all is, I’m not kidding.
In Broder’s World, only Michael Moore can be called fat.

Not even you, Attaturk, will induce me to click on that. I take your word for it, Broder is trying to convince readers that the Nobel prize should have gone to him, instead – and like Ruth Marcus he’s better company for the other winners, who should be insulted that Pres. O. got it. So did I miss anything else lame? if so, fill me in, but I’m not giving WaPo the hit.
Sad …just plain sad
Broder’s suffering from Dewey body dementia, where facts damaging to Republicans are “inexplicably” forgotten. The RNC “fatty chorus” sang continuously about Clinton’s McDonalds habit (and Hillary’s derriere) from January 1992 to November 2000.
The most troubling aspect, though, of Dewey body dementia is the hallucinations. Broder sees Obama as being directly responsible for every utterance of every Democrat in every campaign from Governor to dog catcher, and yet he exculpates Bush I and Dole for the fatty chorus.
Broder needs an intervention to get him to retire. He’s not making sense any more.
By the way, Ruth — when Broder nips one off, everyone wants to smear it across their opinion page:

As the WaPo slowly slips below the waves, I try not to look, either.
Meanwhile, Bill Bennett reacted to Obama’s remarks about DADT by saying ” If I were a commander on the ground and we were losing 8-10 people a day I’d resign if they spent any time on this issue”. 8-10 a day. . . do that math fat ass. No wonder he’s a shitty gambler.
It’s a NJ Biggest Losers race in the Broder realm, yikes, the desperately seeking readers media badly needs to look elsewhere. Yes, we’re here.
This kind criticism of our president is beyond reproach . The problem is that it’s usually limited to the extreme fringes of the party ,but not in this case . The established media has been more than eager to jump on the bandwagon and our elected officials are there as well .
How is the public supposed to stay informed with this kind of garbage infesting the airwaves and the newspapers ?
Has it always been like this? A news media that ignores the truth for the sake of ratings and profits.
Thank God for the blogs ,without them I’d be lost in a fog of smoke and mirrors
Good morning, pups. It’s The Pasty Little Putz and Krugman today. The Pasty Little Putz has extruded a thing he’s calling “Heck of a Job, Barack,” in which he gurgles that it was obvious President Obama wishes that the Nobel committee hadn’t put him in this spot. But he should have been brave enough to tell it no. Prof. Krugman, in “Misguided Monetary Mentalities,” says some of the bad ideas that helped cause the Great Depression have, alas, proved all too durable.
Here they are.
The coffee and tea are ready, and the biscuits are out of the oven. I’ve got Morning Joe on, and I’ve been thinking… I’ve come to the conclusion that Pat Buchanan MUST have video of the heads of MSNBC committing bestiality with baby lambs, or maybe killing and eating babies. I can’t think of any other reason he’d be featured on their programs. Have a great day.
Does anyone have any idea when we can stop discussing what an insult it was that President Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize?
Made a convenient way to forget wingers cheering for U.S. losing the Olympics, anyway.
Broder’s description of the guy disgorging from the car is more revolting than the film clip. Broder should apologize by explaining how Obama made him craft that description.
Broder sez:
If Stephen Douglas had chosen to ridicule Lincoln’s face, rather than debate him on the issues, American history might have turned out very differently.
I get the point but Douglas was short and fat, no? Try again, Dave. The kind of stuff Corzine is doing is juvenile and the voters deserve better. But it’s true. Christie is a load. I mean, is that really as bad as Wille Hortin, swiftboating, what happened to Max Clelland? What Buish did to McCain? What Corzine did is nickel & dime stuff. (Hope it works.)
Marion, I’m proud to admit Obama won the Nobel mostly for just winning an election. There was no greater act in support of world peace than crushing the Republican party in 2008. The warmongers were shot down in November, thanks to Obama and those who worked and voted for him, and the world really appreciates it.
By the way, the Nobel committtee can send my portion of the prize to Attaturk. He needs a Zagnut to keep warm in the Iowa snow.
Jankees win!!!!!
Giants win!!!!!
Heh. New Jersey doesn’t know how to grow portly politicians. Here’s a picture of our former mayor, Floyd Adams, on the occasion of the Oglethorpe tricentenary.
Rangers win!@!!!
Knicks suck.
….and some other teams played. That’s the FDL sports wrap-up for today.
Red Sox lose :(
Broder: the ad hoc Committee of Journalistic Ethics Enforcers has authorized me
This idiot just made up another “group” for whom he is the spokesperson. Maybe we should ask a group of journalistic ethics enforcers to make him quit doing this…
The Yankees suck !
I just want to compliment you on your use of the verb “extruded.” I’m going to put that one in my quiver for use somewhere else.
He’s a rather rotund fellow ,isn’t he ?
Well, I think they’re announcing the Econ prize momentarily …
[Webmasters, a few things seem to have changed, like the encoding. To —?]
Many many years ago ,I worked in a factory and ran a machine called an extruder.
This one extruded plastics , same principal though !
Thanks!
It’s basically squeezing crap out of a hole, no?! The machine uses a die, The Pasty Little Putz uses his pie hole…
Broder is more worried about the “unfit to serve” messaging and how it could trickle into the larger (no pun intended) messaging self-created by the GOP currently.
I hope Carter, Gore and Obama have a photo op soon.
OT. We can all breathe a sigh of relief.
No Nobel for you, Greg Mankiw, Eugene Fama or Robert Barro.
OMG, one of the economists is from Berkley… Those Scandahoovians are all in the pay of the left wing… /snark
“He came in here and he cleaned this plate, and it wasn’t his plate!”
After watching 60 Minutes episode on cliff jumpers with flying squirrel outfits, it made me think of inflight extrusion trail.
Reading the commentary I kept looking for the wink to signal it was supposed to be humorous. I couldn’t find it, leaving me to conclude that either Broder is a total idiot, or a poor writer. It’s that poorly reasoned/
Right after we stop hear “VEAL PENS”!
Shorter slinkerwink:
Even the grassroots community organizer Karen Ignagni
is objecting to some aspects of the Baucus bill.
Who could have predicted.
See ya all later.
Yeah, it’s not like Corzine used pictures of Christie for target practice. Now that would be an all time low (if a Democrat had done it).
Have you considered that he’s both? That explains almost everything he writes.
Broder et al. at WaPo remind me of a prof. I had, who insisted that your ideas were wrong unless they were the same as hers. You could get a good grade only by conforming. to my mind, she had the same effect as Hiatt.
I think Hiatt has hired the pundits who reinforce his ideology, that one that’s been proved entirely, disastrously wrong.
Swim is upstairs…
Well, if you want to go the bestiality route, I rally think you should consider ducks.
Obviously the only way for Obama to reclaim his good name and reassure David Broder at al that he is fit to serve is to fly over to Oslo with Christopher Christie (R-Double Cheeseburger with Fries and Supersize It) and declare war on those liberals who are intolerant of fat Republicans who run for public office. President Obama should, of course, have a power point presentation ready showing how he intends to deploy his charisma and expend his political capital towards peace and harmony between the fatties and the bonies. He might even announce that President William Jefferson Clinton will serve as his special envoy.
But whatever it may take, President Obama should announce that he will not rest and, in a shrewd Ghandian gambit, will not eat unless and until David Broder is satisfied that Obama is moving with all deliberate haste towards the goal of peace in our time between liberals/progressives and GOP fatties.
If two accusations rhyme, they must be of equal weight. Broder aptly notes that the “girther” attack is just as pernicious as the racist “birther” attack against President Obama. similarly, a talking head on MSNBC this morning asked Rep. Grayson if he wasn’t just as bad as Rep. Joe Wilson, noting that “you die” (Republican health plan) sounds suspiciously like “you lie”. Rep. Grayson responded that it was nonsense to make this comparison, just as it is nonsense for David Broder to see pokes about Chris Christie’s weight as comparable to the right wing extremism currently being embraced and condoned by the Republican party
I saw the ad and didn’t realize it was a fat attack
