Throw 'Bama from the planeWhat a sore winner this guy is! The only three newspapers in the country to endorse John McCain — the New York Post, Washington Times, and Dallas Morning News — have all been given the heave-ho from Barack Obama’s pwecious pwane. Now they will all have to fly commercial in order to get to various events in the last stretch of the campaign. This is the journalistic equivalent of having to walk through the town square in a pom-pom hat and a thong. [Drudge Report]

Yeah, but Jet and Ebony have reporters on the plane.

Obama traded in the Rev. Moon for Sun Ra. Good choice in my humble opinion.

ShaqsDong October 31, 2008 at 11:12 am

They finally figured out where that smell was coming from.

Madeline October 31, 2008 at 11:13 am

If you’re not in the tank, you’re off the plane.

AngryBlakGuy October 31, 2008 at 11:15 am

…I so gotta HARD-ON for Barry right now!!!

Tommy Says Soooo October 31, 2008 at 11:17 am

Well, duh, the Socialist Worker, Huffington Obama, and Big ‘Uns needed the seats.

If this is any indication of the way Hopey plans on running the country, God help us all! (except for the Godless Americans PAC who don’t a rat’s ass about God)

Oh, the humanity.

Recent NY Post front page headline: “Life’s A Bitch” in three-inch letters. Look forward to tomrrow’s.

Name Pun Phenh October 31, 2008 at 11:18 am

I hope my campaign contributions aren’t paying for any parachutes.

Bypartizoa October 31, 2008 at 11:18 am

If it’s on Drudge, it must be true.

nurple October 31, 2008 at 11:18 am

May be a non-story. I bet these guys made some sham complaint or special demand.

Dientes October 31, 2008 at 11:19 am

Just like in the movie referenced, those reporters really deserved it. Way to go Barry!

Texan Bulldoggette October 31, 2008 at 11:19 am

Is this all Drudge could find to swing the election Walnuts’s way? He couldn’t doctor a photo of Barry in bed with Michael Jackson or Fidel Castro? Shit, by Monday Drudge will be sirening “Obama doesn’t replace the empty toilet paper roll”.

Note to Matt: Be MORE creative–no one on EARTH cares about whiny, pampered journalists getting kicked off anyone’s plane (see MoDo & Joe Klein getting the boot from Walnuts’s plane).

AngryBlakGuy October 31, 2008 at 11:20 am

…I picture Barry standing at the back of the plane like Harrison Ford in “Air Force One” shouting “Get off my plane!!!”

Servo October 31, 2008 at 11:20 am

Piss off, freeloading baggage!

ManchuCandidate October 31, 2008 at 11:20 am

What’s wrong with chucking Moonies out of planes? I’d prefer while the plane is airborne but the law and FAA might have a problem with that.

magic titty October 31, 2008 at 11:21 am

Had to make room for F.E.D.S and AVN.

ok, “HOME to roost”…

AngryBlakGuy October 31, 2008 at 11:23 am

…funny how when the Bush administration “Black-Lists” reporters for SIX YEARS no one says shyt, isn’t it?!

DoctorCulturae October 31, 2008 at 11:24 am

Duh. Decisions have consequences.

btw, Joey B just asked us to rhyme “hope” and “history.” Good luck with that songsters.

Barack Like Me October 31, 2008 at 11:25 am

When I saw Sludge’s splash hedline that ended in the words: “Get Out” the first thing I thought of was the 3 Terminator movies, in which that line is a recurring theme, most notably the helicopter scene in T2 with the shape shifting one scaring the pilot so much that he does indeed make a hasty exit.

Right down to the ground.

Would that the NYP, The WT, and that pos Dallas paper meet the same fate, how would that be a bad thing?

Fuck those assholes, I’m just wondering why that order to split came at the tarmac instead of mid-flight on Hopey Force One at 30,000 feet.

facehead October 31, 2008 at 11:31 am

[re=157722]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Seriously…

If you go to the Drudge Report (I believe he pronounces the ‘t’), this is the headline, and teh Drudge is claiming it is an exclusive story. This can only mean:

1) He typed up the story while looking in a mirror.

2) “JOURNALIST MUTILATION”

3) No one cares.

The White Crow October 31, 2008 at 11:32 am

After That One gets elected there will be more people that will be asked to get to the back of the bus.

Theta October 31, 2008 at 11:33 am

Oh, the horror! Imagine the negative press he’ll get from these liberal institutions! Hey, Times, Reverend Moon called, he wants you to blow McCain again, extra saliva this time.

monty October 31, 2008 at 11:35 am

[re=157744]Barack Like Me[/re]: that would give a whole new twist to the term ‘bailout’

TexasCowGirl October 31, 2008 at 11:44 am

I hear the worst part is they were 35,000 feet up in the air when he threw them out!

Cape Clod October 31, 2008 at 11:44 am

[re=157743]Fly-over Correspondent[/re]: Simply brilliant.

bonghitsforjesus October 31, 2008 at 11:51 am

It’s really unfair because McCain has been so sweet to those reporters from Democracy Now and Mother Jones the whole campaign.

The Cold Sea October 31, 2008 at 11:52 am

[re=157694]ForTheTurnstiles[/re]: I’d take Sun Ra on my plane anyday. Shit, I’d trade my plane for his spaceship, while I’m at it.

You know they were just getting tired of the Times people trying to make them participate in a mass wedding ceremony.

WhatTheHeck October 31, 2008 at 12:06 pm

I bet they took up more than a seat a piece.
Hey, freeloaders, there’ll be no more free lunches under Barry.

Norbert October 31, 2008 at 12:14 pm

what’s wrong with pom-pom hats?

LBOtomist October 31, 2008 at 12:18 pm

[re=157757]4tehlulz[/re]: The use of penis there makes that kind of awkward. Can we say trucknutz? or transformational unicorn horn?

Miller October 31, 2008 at 12:33 pm

That’ll tech them to expose his socialist, islamofascist leanings to their right wing readers. Now they’ll have to go cover McCain’s funeral dirge. Luckily he threw so many reporters off, combined with the lack of interest in his campaign, that they’ll be able to have two to three seats to themselves.

Sun Ra in the tank, obv:

“The music is different here. The vibrations are different. Not like Planet Earth. Planet Earth sounds of guns, anger, frustration.There will be no one from Planet Earth we could talk to who would understand. We’ll set up a colony for black people here. See what they can do on a planet all their own, without any white people there. They would drink in the beauty of this planet.”

War Eagle October 31, 2008 at 1:23 pm

Okay, so can we start making up our Enemies List yet?

phildeaux October 31, 2008 at 1:23 pm

My guilty pleasure is typing “tips” into Drudge’s website — it’s easy to do! So this morning I wrote: “drudgereport.com losing relevance…developing.” It’s not quite as passive aggressive as enabling my ad blocker on his site.

LittlePinky82 October 31, 2008 at 1:25 pm

[re=157694]ForTheTurnstiles[/re]: I think so too. Mr Moon is really crazy and he’s a big supporter of the Bushies. Of course the Bushies are big on him too probably because of the green.

wavingnotdrowning October 31, 2008 at 2:37 pm

Seriously, people still read Drudge? He’s so 2000. He’s like the 14th season of “E.R.”

SlouchingTowardsWasilla October 31, 2008 at 3:23 pm

Wait, they let them on the plane in the first place? And you said they were booting “journalists”? Something ain’t right here.

palmerdawg October 31, 2008 at 3:23 pm

[re=157719]Bypartizoa[/re]: Drudge is a colostomy bag for the right wing ass holes.

DangerousLiberal October 31, 2008 at 4:02 pm

Wait, it said “newspapers,” and then said something about the NY Post and Washington Times, used more often by the homeless as tee pee than by reg’lar ‘merkins as sources of news. So, really, what journalists were thrown off the plane?
