You can almost hear his melodious English grumble as he fusses with his morning oatmeal and coffee, and finds the wine-stained post-it note stuck haphazardly on his laptop screen: “OBAMA ENDORSE, SLATE.” Well, then, let’s get on with it — before some clumsy mental midget like Jonah Goldberg beats you to it, old salt. Christ knows all the big names have already done so ….
But how to endorse without an endorsement, per se? How many times have you written fondly of the many Georgetown dinner parties where McCain has held court, the gales of inebriated laughter following the maverick’s rape jokes, the wit and wisdom of Washington’s favorite dinner-party host? And now, egads, you have to write him off as senile? Well, he’ll be dead soon enough, anyway — no need mourning dinner parties that will never even happen!
Oh to hell with it, let the Slate copyboys put the “Vote For Obama” in the headline. Time for lunch!

Crotchety Old Drunks for Obama!
Okay, I have to ask. Was Hitchens indulging in a Cleveland Steamer, only the other person misjudged the trajectory? ‘Cuz, ew.
If Hitch and Kristol are in the tank, I want out.
And by “oatmeal” you mean whiskey, right?
Also — McCain has more than one rape joke? Where is that marvellous alternate rape joke?
That pic of Hitch is pure Blingee fodder
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! He’s going to try and crash all the DC parties when Hopey wins. I hope the Rev. Jeremiah kicks his honky ass. Just like all the libtards on Daily Kos, Hitchens will give Hopey approximately two weeks after the election before he starts shitting on him. And that’s as President-elect, before Jan. 20th. Once Hopey announces his Secretary of State, he’s toast.
Obama must have sent over a pallet of Old Grandad
[re=131747]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: Maybe the photo is evidence of some blowback from a Rusty Trombone.
/so gross
Am I the only one that somehow loves Hitchens as much as I hate him?
We really should stop running that pic of him above where he’s being waterboarded…
Gay ex-pat athiests for Obama!
[re=131748]obfuscator[/re]: Or at least add some chlorine.
And if one of them poops, they’re out!
Now, now, “tackle the ball, not the man.”
Sheeeit.
[re=131754]V572625694[/re]: Shhhhh! I’ve never taken any anti-seizure meds and don’t want to start them.
[re=131760]Voyou Charmant[/re]: No i also enjoy Hitchens, more so because i agree with his views on religion.
That pic looks like Hitchen’s hocked the tar out of his lungs onto his face.
I wasn’t clear on that what is Hitch trying to say there?
[re=131747]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: No, that is just a Dirty Sanchez gone horribly wrong
But you have to admit, he has a nice way of summing things up:
“With McCain, the “experience” is subject to sharply diminishing returns, as is the rest of him, and with Palin the very word itself is a sick joke. One only wishes that the election could be over now and a proper and dignified verdict rendered, so as to spare democracy and civility the degradation to which they look like being subjected in the remaining days of a low, dishonest campaign.”
He doesn’t know where his shoes are.
Man, The Tanktm is about to get very rank…
I guess this means that he has forgiven Michelle for her senior thesis? Or is he supporting Obama despite Michelle insulting him with a paper she wrote 20 years ago?
[re=131768]Worlds End[/re]: Second that. It is fun when Hitch wales on Jeebus or Moe-hommid. He had a great column a while back about how Zoroastrans are all hypocrites.
IT’S NOT OATMEAL! IT’S PORRIDGE, YOU BLOODY YANKS!
Sheesh.
[re=131776]azw88[/re]: Win. Puke-inducing, but win.
What an aptly descriptive photograph of the sweaty, nicotine-drenched Hitchens. I hate those self-loathing Brits, the ones who maintain their English shobbery while they move over here where their fancy English accent can earn them way more money than they can make back home.
What I love best is when he and Andrew Sullivan pontificate about American politics. And how cool they are for being Republicans.
Know-it-all limey snobs. Let ‘em live in a trailer, here in the Heartland, if they really want to be one of us.
Now I sound like a bitter, sorta’. If Bitters knew who Hitchens and Sullivan are.
[re=131758]obfuscator[/re], [re=131776]azw88[/re]:
OMG, a Wonketeer posted the Urban Dictionary link earlier and it’s this weeks Blingee, now infecting even the prestigious Wikipedia.
Oh well, the resultant insinuations couldn’t be targeted to a more deserving curmudgeon.
Has little Andy Sullivan had an orgasm yet over this news?
hmm i thought barry already had the christian hating, godless heathen vote locked up.
[re=131760]Voyou Charmant[/re]: No. I have that ambivalence all the time about Hitch.
[re=131768]Worlds End[/re]:
Voyou Charmant[/re]:
Don’t feel bad. I hate him enough for both of you.[re=131760]
God, by the end of that, I was almost voting for McCain. It’s amazing how anything that Hitchens endorses makes me immediately want to support the opposite viewpoint.
For those who may be too young to remember Admiral Stockdale’s debate adventure day:
Stockdale 1
Stockdale 2
And the rest of it was far, far worse.
[re=131846]J[/re]:Yes.
It started out with”Welcome brother” and ended with ahahhhhoooooinfinity.
The tank is officially overloaded !
I am literally overcome by rage. Oh Lord, hypothetically existing, please don’t let people I dislike…endorse Obama.
Whew. I’ve recovered by remembering they key phrase: “Way to go, cocksucker!” Much like the antiquated phrase: “Sir, you are a bastard.”
I thought Hitchens had drank himself to death by now? He’s still alive, and now a Democrat!! Fabulous!
Hitchens can write very well for an old drunk.
Best Hitchens quote, to his brother, “you will support the communists until their horses are drinking out of the Thames”. Now that’s funny!!
Hitches said to his brother Peter, “I won’t be happy till I see the Red Army watering its horses in the Thames.” Now that’s funny!
Ummm, is that supposed to be an endorsement, or a simple surrender? BTW, I totally agree with him: McCain is senile and Palin is a national embarrassment.
[re=131761]FunkyPalmettoBug[/re]: You must live downstream from a feedlot if you think that’s water.
[re=132022]Churchill[/re]: The greatest Hitchens quote evah?
About Jerry Falwell:
“If you gave the man an enema, you could bury him in a match box”.
Someone needs a Tank Expansion Project Earmark.
I read Hitchens, and all I can think is that his column would be so much better in Latin.
And I wouldn’t worry about Jonah Goldberg endorsing Obama. That would be like someone declaring the Nazi’s secret liberals…..,
Oh, wait a minute.
[re=131760]Voyou Charmant[/re]: no!i used to love when he would come on politically incorrect and insist on smoking in the studio, and blowing said smoke all over everyone
[re=131760]Voyou Charmant[/re]: no! i used to love when he would go on politically incorrect and insist on smoking in the studio, then blow said smoke all over everyone
To everyone in the tank: if he wants in, I propose we insist he stop smoking and share his liquor.
I come to Wonkette to get away from that drunken prick Hitchens.
Chrissie Hitchens and Buckley pro-Barry? They are priming the pump for next year’s column: “Voting for That One, What Was I Thinking?”
They are as intellectual as cottage cheese is to gruyere, Bahama Mama is to Chateau Neuf du Pape, cod liver oil is to penicillin, K-Y Jelly is to monogamy.
[re=131747]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: It is called “shitboarding.”
Just testing my cool new nickname and avatar… test, test…
