The only reason the sprinklers went off? Fawx Newz is on FIRE bitches.

loudmouthredhead August 25, 2008 at 12:11 pm

Are the Fox people as mature as a bunch of 8-year-old boys? Were they giggling ad snorting to themselves as the punk’d those meanie democrats? Was this to avenge Griff’s harsh treatment?

loudmouthredhead August 25, 2008 at 12:13 pm

Actually, Sara, I bet the Doocey will land via a jetpack and then start dry-humping her leg…you know, like James Bond.

SayItWithWookies August 25, 2008 at 12:16 pm

Bill O’Reilly loofah’d himself so hard he started a fire.

Details! Details!

Do you not believe in freedom? DO YOU NOT?

spencer August 25, 2008 at 12:18 pm

I guess you can’t put out fires by shouting “Don’t you believe in freedom?” at them.

columnv August 25, 2008 at 12:19 pm

Don’t the sprinkler systems love freedom?

loudmouthredhead August 25, 2008 at 12:19 pm

I say for the GOP convention in MN, the Dems get a few bull elephants and just let ‘em loose inside the convention hall. Oh, and make sure it’s their “frisky” time of year so they’re extra pissy.

ReelectTilden August 25, 2008 at 12:19 pm

Obama set the sprinklers off by smoking in the boys’ room.

AngryBlakGuy August 25, 2008 at 12:20 pm

…Sara can we get a footnote at the bottom of every post, updating us to how many drink you guys have had?

You say that like its a bad thing.

When the sprinklers go off at the Pepsi Center what comes out? Tap water or Aquafina?

trondant August 25, 2008 at 12:23 pm

[re=68262]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Early reports are sketchy, but I’m hearing that one of the Fucks News-ers had just started talking when their pants spontaneously ignited and set off the sprinklers.

snig August 25, 2008 at 12:24 pm

They’re doing a big “Singing in the Rain” dance number as lead in to the story.

Lionel Hutz Esq. August 25, 2008 at 12:26 pm

To steal Bobcat’s line:

This is the first time that “Fox News” and “on fire” have been used in the same sentence.

Tybalt August 25, 2008 at 12:27 pm

[re=68271]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: I think that’s what the cryptic little “08″ at the end of the message in the image is. I appreciate the fact that they’re using a two-digit number for the updates, and I hope that they can break into three digits before Thursday.

snig August 25, 2008 at 12:27 pm

They’re trying to sexy up the convention by getting the wet t-shirt shot. Fair and Balanced and more strippers working a pole than any other news network.

Tybalt August 25, 2008 at 12:28 pm

When the sprinklers go off at the Pepsi Center what comes out? Tap water or Aquafina?

They tap into the massive Crystal Pepsi Aquifer under Colorado Springs. (Hence the “springs”).

Cogito Ergo Bibo August 25, 2008 at 12:28 pm

The water just wanted its freedom. Thank GOD Fux was able to grant it.

loudmouthredhead August 25, 2008 at 12:29 pm

[re=68271]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: I want to see a detailed inventory of the types of drinks consumed. If it’s only wine coolers and other convention fare, I’m going to be very underwhelmed. Biden has a 2-tequila-shot minimum.

freakishlystrong August 25, 2008 at 12:32 pm

Did anyone see the clips of Douchey this AM with cheerleaders and Hooters girls? I doubt either of those tools has ever had a conversation, (much less actual secks), with a woman..nauseating.

JamesMichaelCurley August 25, 2008 at 12:32 pm

Servo August 25, 2008 at 12:34 pm

Did they soap the cars, too? TP the trees? Burning doggie-doo bags?

loudmouthredhead August 25, 2008 at 12:35 pm

Fox thought they’d rid the world of democrats once and for all when they had a priest bless all of the water in the sprinkler system. They were disappointed when their holy water system did not make the convention-goers ignite in righteous flames. Keep trying, soldiers of teh lawd!

S.Luggo August 25, 2008 at 12:37 pm

—- Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and Pa. Gov. Ed Rendell “will have a Pee Wee Reese moment” at the convention, says Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr —
A baseball fan, I see.

BTW: Who the hell invited Cornel West??

AngryBlakGuy August 25, 2008 at 12:40 pm

[re=68290]loudmouthredhead[/re]: …nah, Biden looks more like Scotch Whiskey kinda guy.

[re=68285]Tybalt[/re]: …good eyes there buddy! But a BAL of .08 is nothing, that would barely qualify as “tipsy”. They need to get in between the sweet spots of “why is the world spinning” and “where the fukk are my pants”. And for those of you that don’t speak drunk that is a BAL between .16 and .22.

Tybalt August 25, 2008 at 12:41 pm

By the way, the long-range forecast for Thursday is sunny and hot, with no chance of precipitation. Soon to be official : GOD HATES FOCUS UP THE FAMILY.

Is anyone else made uneasy by the fact that the girl in the Oxford shirt ad is wearing what appear to be the purple slacks from the American Apparel ad, cut off to make shorts out of them? What has happened to the girl wearing the slacks?

Tybalt August 25, 2008 at 12:47 pm

[re=68313]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Apparently the DNC are in talks with the Pepsi Center to fill the sprinkler system with Astroglide. O’Reilly was just jumping the gun on the official test.

Crapola August 25, 2008 at 12:47 pm

The incident was only in Fox’s skybox and didn’t affect any other part of the Pepsi Center. Focus On The Family prays for rain, God responds by flooding Fox’s skybox. Fucking brilliant!

Mace will not be needed. There are both trap doors and spring loaded launch pads strategically placed around the stage. Amy Klobuchar will be waxing philospohic about unity, then wham!!! She’ll be 15 rows deep in the Montana delegation. Jimmy Carter will be trap doored into the bottomless pit underneath Denver. Fox News thought of everything.

It’s all right there in the link….the Joint Information Center is due to open, says the Denver Post. The Federales need to stock their joint supply and how else would they do it but by shipping via the national bus system, the most efficient mode of transportation in the universe.

“Rendered safe” simply meas they opened the 500 pound baggie…hence the “loud pop heard in the area at about 3:45 a.m.”…and then it was dragged down the street and up the stairwell to the JIC (no elevators west of the Mississippi, see Section XII, Homeland Security Act.)

The herb will be used as plants in the pockets of selected Obama superdelegates. By Wednesday, the Hillary-Lieberman ticket will be a done deal.

Thank God for the Post’s “Live Reports from The Denver Post”, without which our good folks in uniform could not protect us from such uppity outbreaks of terrorism as “Angela bassett using iphone at mezcal” (although that’s actually “using mescaline at iPhone store”), “Putting the caffeine in the DNC” and “Questioner says six U.S. presidents, including Thomas Jefferson, had “enough black blood in their ancestry to be considered black.”

CALL OUT THE NATIONAL GUARD!!!

oh…..never mind

Re-create ’68 has had too profound an effect on the Wayback Machine; the convention is re-creating ’48! A Machine Democrat (Truman) had the nod wrapped up and chose a guy from a middle state (Alben Barkley of Kentucky) as his running mate.

Then young Hubert Humphrey, mayor of Minneapolis, made a speech for civil rights and caused Strom Thurmond and the Dixiecrats to walk out (who will make the speech that prompts the Hillary skedaddle?). Meanwhile, Ralph Nader is doing a weak made-for-television remake of the Henry Wallace role, to Ralph’s credit minus the Guru stuff.

1948 was a wild and crazy political year, but remember: Harry won.

“The key to the Clinton game,” says Dick Morris, “is that they understood, from the beginning, that Obama would not name Hillary to be his VP. They realized that she had far too much baggage and that they came as a package and Bill certainly had too much. They knew that the bad blood between the two camps was such that it was highly unlikely that she would be on the ticket.” The Clinton objective is twofold: make sure no other woman is nominated; stop Obama from winning. Fact is, Hillary’s the best thing that ever happened to the RNC, and to Barack Obama for that matter: http://theseedsof9-11.com
