Dan Rather: Jesse Jackson Paved the Way For Osama Bin Laden

by Ken Layne

8:33 pm July 18, 2008


Maybe it’s true! After all, Osama bin Laden would’ve never known about New York’s big Jewish population had Jesse not called it “Hymietown.” EVERYBODY WILL BE ISSUED NEW NAMES AT THE CONVENTIONS. [Morning Joe/MSNBC] UPDATE: Oh what the hell, Newell posted this like twelve hours earlier. Oh well, no way to take the post down now ….

Think how much more awesome this will be in crystal clear high definition on Dan Rather’s show for that Mark Cuban network.

Q2 July 18, 2008 at 8:36 pm

WON’T YOU TAKE ME TO…HYMIETWON!

masterdebater July 18, 2008 at 8:38 pm

Oh, Jews. I thought when he called it Hymietown he was talking about that robot on Get Smart.

Delicious July 18, 2008 at 8:40 pm

you posted this earlier?

Political Addict July 18, 2008 at 8:57 pm

If Obama wins, I’m hoping for a similar mis-speak at the presidential oath by John Roberts.

ForTheTurnstiles July 18, 2008 at 9:14 pm

Sing along!

Don’t let me down…

Don’t let me down, Hymietown

Johnny Zhivago July 18, 2008 at 9:23 pm

Sort of like saying Henry Ford paved the way for TruckNutz.

Guppy06 July 18, 2008 at 9:25 pm

um… dupe?

Dan Rather works for the New Yorker now? Who knew?

kapish July 18, 2008 at 9:32 pm

Dan needs a long rest in a rubber room.

NotUrEvryDayWEzl July 18, 2008 at 9:36 pm

For a second I thought I had travelled back in time to when I first saw this while trapped at work. Then I realized that Ken was simply reposting to ensure that the world gets on top of this news story and not that he might have missed something on the blog of which he is the managing editor.

Tiki? Tiki? Take that old white man out, Tiki! Gawdamn!

What the fuck is it with every white man in this country over aged 50 that… makes… wait… hold on… don’t I know this Wonkette entry from somewhere?

Happy Fun Ball July 18, 2008 at 10:26 pm

Umm . . . why is Tiki Barber on the same current events panel with Dan Rather and Mike Barnacle?

tsunami July 18, 2008 at 10:33 pm

[re=39824]Happy Fun Ball[/re]:

easy. somebody has to block for him.

Jim Newell July 18, 2008 at 10:34 pm

KEN HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING AGAIN?

Happy Fun Ball July 18, 2008 at 10:40 pm

[re=39825]tsunami[/re]: My favorite Tiki moment was watching him interview all his former New York Giants teammates whom he trashed in the press when he retired, especially Eli Manning, right after they won the Super Bowl without him. “Hey Eli! Remember when I said you were a loser? Ha! Man, we have to get those days back! Can I cup your balls or anything? Drink? Back rub?”

tsunami July 18, 2008 at 10:49 pm

[re=39827]Happy Fun Ball[/re]:

LMAO

indeed. his last few years were spent undermining eli. i don’t miss
him and have never seen him on anything except sports stuff.

he won’t eat or drink anything offered him by any former teammates…or
so i heard.

sorry…i take the giants a bit too seriously, i guess. jersey sucks in
the winter.

Wee Mousie July 18, 2008 at 10:50 pm

Jesse Jackson Paved the Way For Osama Bin Laden . . .

. . . and he Paved that Way with Ass Faults.

Happy Fun Ball July 18, 2008 at 10:57 pm

[re=39829]tsunami[/re]: I’d still take Joe Morris over Tiki in a heart beat!

Buffy and Hildegard July 18, 2008 at 11:06 pm

What’s the fucking frequency, Kenneth?

wheelie July 18, 2008 at 11:06 pm

My god, you have special feelings about Dan Rather, don’t you America? There are 300+ million people in USA, and yet not one of you have edited Dan Rather’s wikipedia entry (at time of writing) since this story broke earlier today. No edits since 13 July. Either he’s God or he’s shockingly irrelevant to you people. I can’t tell.

Why did I ever get into this site? So much is baffling.

ALIVE! July 18, 2008 at 11:09 pm

I had to check and make sure this wasn’t a sponsored post for an HBO show where Dan Rather says crazy shit about BHO/OBM. But then … the comments would have been turned off.

Get some rest Wonkette, you’ve worked hard (whitey) all week.

Paultardville July 18, 2008 at 11:12 pm

I think this is part of Ken’s master plan. I’m not nearly as outraged this time around.

shortsshortsshorts July 18, 2008 at 11:17 pm

PEOPLE. DO NOT WATCH VIDEO. READ HYMIETOWN ARTICLE.

It ain’t funny, but it keepin’ it real, from a whitey point of view at least.

Happy Fun Ball July 18, 2008 at 11:19 pm

[re=39835]Buffy and Hildegard[/re]: That could be my all time favorite obscure cultural reference. Dan Rather being punched in the face by a whino would have been funny even if the whino just remained silent and went about his business. But Dan Rather being punched in the face by a whino who leads in with that question . . . now that’s glorious.

graceless July 18, 2008 at 11:24 pm

[re=39826]Jim Newell[/re]: I think he’s drinking still. Either that, or he didn’t think you posted it properly, and just wanted to show you how it’s done. Ken’s a little passive-aggressive like that.

Buffy and Hildegard July 18, 2008 at 11:26 pm

[re=39842]Happy Fun Ball[/re]: *tips hat* — glad someone remembers — I just noticed Ken posted this and then thought, “uh oh, hope that wasn’t misunderinterpretated.”

Guppy06 July 18, 2008 at 11:37 pm

[re=39821]Political Addict[/re]: Well, one did. Along with a whole bunch of its bomb and torpedo brethren.

MinxieSutton July 18, 2008 at 11:53 pm

John McCain paved the way for Osama Bin Laden by ripping off $1.4 trillion US taxpayer dollars in the savings and loan scandal, requiring numerous military bases to be shut down for budgetary reasons, leaving gaping holes in our ability to defend ourselves, holes the terrorists slipped right through on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.

That’s the ‘frequency’, you time-addled liniment-drenched diaper-wearing self-crapper. Now make yourself useful for once and pleasure the insides of my thighs with your tender, lingering, old man butterfly kisses. QUICKLY!

irisheyes July 18, 2008 at 11:54 pm

I have been hittin’ the Wonkettinis too hard this afternoon; I’m sure I saw this story this morning…prolaby jush me..

Ken Layne July 18, 2008 at 11:58 pm

Dammit was this posted earlier? I WILL FIRE NEWELL FOR THIS.

Delicious July 19, 2008 at 12:06 am

[re=39851]Ken Layne[/re]: Yeah, pulling a Fox News. We’ll have three of the same Rev. Wright posts on Monday. Lazy Wonkette Republicans.

masterdebater July 19, 2008 at 12:07 am

[re=39841]shortsshortsshorts[/re]:
You’re right! The video is just a palate cleanser, the article is the main course.

graceless July 19, 2008 at 12:24 am

[re=39826]Jim Newell[/re]: Maybe not passive. Perhaps just aggressive.

shortsshortsshorts July 19, 2008 at 3:29 am

[re=39851]Ken Layne[/re]: Right. “No way to take the post down,” eh? I’m calling my friend and advocate IBGYN Paul. He will reduce the power of the executive Wonkette and bring it down to the legislative underlords. This is, of course (I was thinking Pelosi but fuck it). No. It’s Tom Jones.

the rifts in this blog are showing. now is the time to rise up in arms, fellow comrades, against the elitists

Layne and Newell could easily work in my company; nobody’s on the same page here, either.

DAN RATHER ON JESSE JACSKON COMMENTS

Scarborough, only the best in floor editors for your show!

Welcome to the year 2505!

1ofUS July 19, 2008 at 6:45 pm

[re=39901]Paultardville[/re]: FYI: Atlas Shrugged is a novel by Randy Enos, first published in 1957 in the United States. It was Randy’s first and last foray into the world of porn, and pored forth over one thousand pages from her anal opening.

S.Luggo July 19, 2008 at 10:54 pm

Could be worse. Rather might have confused Obama with Archduke Ferdinand or one of the Pips. Possible.

ElmerDinkley July 20, 2008 at 12:32 am

dan rather is a slut-faced piss artist. fuck him.

TGY July 20, 2008 at 6:29 am

Jesse James paved the way for a Llama Ben Franklin? Yes, Mr. Happy Fun ball needs a good squeezing! Here, have some! Spoon!

Kelly July 20, 2008 at 4:48 pm

Next thing you know Bill O’Reilly is going to use this to blame 9/11 on the liberals.
