bin Laden dead! Repubs not pleased.

Tery made this joke while watching Obama's speech about killing bin Laden. If you're my friend on Facebook you've already seen it, but I think it bears repeating:


Obama: I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action and authorize an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice.

Tery: But first, I had to go to Hawaii and get my damn birth certificate for the Donald.


She loved that "Celebrity Apprentice" was interrupted with the news. Deliberate? Who cares. It was delicious.

Sarah Palin, who has the social skills of a 6-year-old (my apologies to 6-year-olds), was here in Denver yesterday and delivered a speech doling out praises to everyone involved, the men and women of the military, the intelligence agents, President Bush; everyone but Obama. I guess mommy taught her if she can't say anything nice not to say anything at all. How did this child get to run a whole state? Let's pray she never gets to run a country.

I'm sure the Repubs HATE that this victory is Obama's. I would have hated if Bush had succeeded, at anything, but he didn't so no worries there. It occurred to me last night that the only reason the strike was a success was because it was done secretly without involving the Senate or Congress or any of those clowns. Because were they consulted, they would have played their bickering, cockblocking games so long that bin Laden could have found a new country to hide in. It seems to me Obama needs to do more things autonomously. Just get some shit DONE. And all you clowns, LET HIM GET SOME SHIT DONE.

Bleah, enough about politics. Here's a bonus video of Tery reading excerpts from my diary at age 12 (when I was still more mature than Sarah Palin):



And here are a couple of photos with my phone:

I liked how they didn't even bother telling Pakistan about the operation. It was like when you're sitting behind someone and you pop a pimple on their back that was really annoying you. By the time they notice, you're already dumping the body in the ocean.

That diary is hilarious specifically because of how Tery is reading it, especially against the very casual, legs-crossed body language.

I like your analogy of bin Laden to a zit on the back of the world. Probably about the kindest he could hope for.

She did miss her calling as a thespian, I believe. We can't take all the credit: The idea of reading a schoolgirl's diary with inappropriate bombast comes from Amy's Diary, entry Nov 18. Also check out Nov 2 for an even funnier Brando-esque interpretation.

I've already heard people arguing that Bush should get the credit, and just...ugh. I'm glad my family's so liberal, or it would be getting intense right about now.

Sounds like you were a busy 12 year old! Or maybe everything just seems busier from that perspective.

I've been reading comments on the internet (big mistake). I don't understand the people screaming that bin Laden had already been killed "years before Obama took office." Really? So Bush, who in 8 years accomplished almost nothing, with approval ratings plummeting to record lows, decided not to be a hero and keep it to himself? The same Bush who put on that ridiculous Top Gun "Mission Accomplished" pantomime a week after invading Iraq? Didn't want us to know bin Laden was dead? Politics, like religion, just make people irrational and stupid beyond belief.

Haha, yeah, I was busy. Guess the burning need to write afflicted me even back then!

I say lolol

Thanks James :) Nothing compared to your masterpieces though. Logan is quite photogenic for a straggly stray. :D
