National Review's christmas sign.IS BARACK EVEN A REAL TERRORIST? “Next up, the Secretary of State. All of us Obama voters were rooting for Osama bin Laden — this is what Barack promised us! — but nobody would’ve complained too much if Kim Jong Il or whoever runs Africa got the job.” [AOL Political Machine]

I don’t think commenter “WilliamT” understands such fancy, elitist things in the writing world such as irony, sarcasm, biting wit and satire. But he’s on AOL so what can you expect?

ManchuCandidate November 24, 2008 at 5:27 pm

AOL user WilliamT shows that cognitive dissonance is alive and well among AOL users.

Yeah, Hopey’s pretty much betrayed the entire legacy of Ivan the Terrible. I’m just about ready to jump ship and pledge to follow Aethelred. Anyone else want to become an Unreadyist?

jagorev November 24, 2008 at 5:27 pm

Ken, your article is funny, but it’s also a dead-on imitation of all the moaning and groaning and rending of garments that has been going on at all the left-wing blogs lately. I mean, what the hell, were these people actually expecting him to appoint Ralph Nader to run Treasury?

and according to one of your fans, he’s also “Slimey”.

Ken, you lack ambition! Jr Asst. Terrorist?? Come now, you are more than qualified to be the Head Asst Terrorist. Maybe even Terrorist Press Secretary, though we suspect that SKS is applying for that job.

iwillsavethispatient November 24, 2008 at 5:33 pm

Ken: Brilliant. I can only assume you get paid a certain amount per crazy wingnut comment? If so, you’re well on your way to becoming America’s only rich person. I look forward to taxing you for working hard.

FreshCliches November 24, 2008 at 5:34 pm

I loves me teh AOL turd-stirrin’, big time.

KilgoreTrout_XL November 24, 2008 at 5:34 pm

He could at least have had the common decency to rotate the white house to face north for prayer, and move the Wash monument so it can be used as a qiblah. That non-terrorist-sympathizing bastard.

ken layne? the name is vaguely familar, but why does he hate america?

kilgore trout…patriot.

trondant November 24, 2008 at 5:39 pm

Welcome to reality? I bet this numbnuts commutes to work (if he has a job) by pretending to fly in on a broom.

WhatTheHeck November 24, 2008 at 5:39 pm

WTF Ken. Just a Junior cabinet post? Set your sights higher, man. Like Barack’s Press Secretary.
I picture you in the Press Room speaking in terrorist, Islamic tongues.

Mustang November 24, 2008 at 5:43 pm

I dunno. Quaker School. That doesn’t sound American to me! And Hillary was a hippie, which is just like a terrorist. And, didn’t I hear this morning that that new economy guy GREW UP IN AFRICA??? Don’t be a glass-is-half-empty kinda guy, Ken! I’m sure Obama’s just being tricky like a terrorist do.

AmazingLarry November 24, 2008 at 5:44 pm

If he doesn’t appoint Farfur the Terror Mouse to head the Interior I’m unleashing my sexual prowess and creating some faithless electors.

gracias por mucho LOL

aaah also reminds me of this classic SNL/Idle sketch:

Prisoner (Bill Murray): You’re wastin’ your time, slimey Lime!

Soldier (Eric Idle): [slaps prisoner on the face] That’s “Limey slime,” you uneducated hick scum! Very well, I didn’t want to do this … but you leave me no choice. In direct violation of all civilized moral codes, I am now going to attach these electrodes… to your potatoes! [does so] And then turn the crank on this field generator! Now, you ignorant bog-hopper, start singing! [turns the crank]

Prisoner: [starts singing while feeling the torture of the potatoes as if they're his nipples] When Irish eyes are smilin’, you’re – duh-aaaAAAAAAAAAAAAHH God bless youuuuuuuuuu, and keep youuuuuuuu, Mother MacreeeEEEeee!

[re=184960]jagorev[/re]: I honestly was under the impression that either Mike Gravel, Cindy Sheehan or MoveOn.org donors would vote in all the Prez. appointments. I guess this proves the old adage – never trust someone born without a navel.

[re=184973]KilgoreTrout_XL[/re]: We thank you for your brave service, defending both logic and satire against wave after wave of AOLtards!

I am still angry that they didn’t make Chomsky SecDef.

wheelie November 24, 2008 at 6:32 pm

Why is it that, no matter how ridiculous a slur you post in the AOL comments, there will always be someone who takes you seriously?

It really is Alcoholics On Line, isn’t it?

Mustang November 24, 2008 at 6:36 pm

[re=185037]trondant[/re]: Thanks. I pride myself on getting all the facts right.

Scandalabra November 24, 2008 at 7:03 pm

Ken, what does AOL pay you to subject yourself to such a chorus of churlish imbeciles? Tell me it’s more that two handjobs and a coupon at Sbarro.

facehead November 24, 2008 at 7:14 pm

Ken,

I was concerned that after the election the hardcore dipshits would lose affection for you and stop commenting. Glad to be wrong.

Muslimly,
Facehead

P.S. Don’t go a changing.

Neilist November 24, 2008 at 7:32 pm

I see that, once again, I have to explain things to you Ignorant Wonkies:

The Hilllary for Secretary of State thingie is simple . . . . if you know your Old Testament — Judges, to be precise. Deborah, to be really precise.

See, Deborah had this general named “Barack” (which is Herbew for “Hopey Schwartza”). But this Barack was sort of a pussy, and Deborah needed someone to get the J.O.B. done on the Bad Guys.

So Deborah got herself a Biblical Bitoch, named Jael, to drive a tent peg into the opposing general’s skull. While he was sleeping.

So, World Leaders, if America’s Chief Diplomat invites you camping . . . .RUN AWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

jagorev November 24, 2008 at 7:32 pm

[re=185055]problemwithcaring[/re]: Wait, Obama has no navel? is that because he’s Jesus? Or, wait, was it Adam that had no navel?

persiflage November 24, 2008 at 8:44 pm

Had no idea there was still an AOL, especially after the free CD’s stopped coming about five years ago. Now I have to go back and see if there are still thousands of messages waiting for delivery in my MCI Mail account. Oh, and TAPCIS for CI$.

shortsshortsshorts November 24, 2008 at 9:55 pm

I see what you’re doin’ over there. You betcha.

People used to ask—
Who is the real Ken Layne?
The answer: Freddy Mercury’s terrorist younger brother.

finallyhappy November 25, 2008 at 8:30 am

Cmon, Ken you know Washingon- what the hell is a Jr. Asst Terrorist? You mean a deputy undersecretary to the Assistant Secretary of Terrorism. This is not, of course, to the Department of Terrorism; rather to the Office of Terrorism at a selected agency- say Education or Labor. You will have to work your way up to the actual Department and a lowly position to the actual SecTer- Bill Ayers is being considered for the Asst SecTer.

Doglessliberal November 25, 2008 at 9:35 am

[re=184996]Mustang[/re]: I went to Terrorist Quaker elementary school and college, so clearly, I am qualified for a position in the Obama Admin. Maybe I can get Assistant to the Undersecretary to the Junior Assitant Terrorist.

dwarf74 November 25, 2008 at 11:44 am

Oh god. And they really email all of those comments to you?
