JUST FANCY THAT! Elitist President of Chicago Barack Obama is buying a super-fancy $30,000 ring made of white people’s diamonds, for his fancy wife! Except he’s not. [Gawker]

or obvious privacy reasons I cannot reveal the cost of the ring but bearing in mind it is made from rhodium or black gold and encrusted with diamonds you can be sure it will cost thousands of pounds.’

This sounds as if it was written by the Nigerian email scam guys.

But, in the fine tradition of wives everywhere, best believe she’s expecting one now.

Where does Drudge get his “sources?”
He denies being a blog, which is correct. That pig-fucker doesn’t deserve to have a blog. Joe the Plumber’s blog is more accurate at this point.
WASHED UP ASSHAT.

[re=189005]Doglessliberal[/re]: Their follow-up quote pretty much verifies your theory:

“Unfortunately, we were negatively affected by read on national and foreign media news stories that have no basement[sic], and in excess of the objective reality.”

Sounds like Murderface’s codpiece.

FreshCliches December 2, 2008 at 1:52 pm

Are we still confusing Hopey with Kobe?

Keram2 December 2, 2008 at 1:52 pm

WHY WON’T THE RING REALEASE ITS BIRTH CERTIFICICATE? WHY WON’T TEH MSM WRITE ABOUT THIS STORY????

From the “Giovanni Bosco,” a.k.a. “The Jeweler” :

“I regret to inform you that because of reports so wrong and clearly different from the reality of our statements, we decided to not issue statement on this matter.

Unfortunately, we were negatively affected by read on national and foreign media news stories that have no basement[sic], and in excess of the objective reality.

I inform you that we have no intention to disseminate more information about this story.”

Best. Repudiation. Evar.

One ring to rule them all
One ring to find them
One ring to bring them all
And in the darkness bind them
In the land of Washington
Where the shadows lie

My precioussssssssss!

[re=189010]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: AND it looks, (again), a like wingnut fuckery piece o’ shite site.

DemmeFatale December 2, 2008 at 1:59 pm

Only $30,000 for a diamond ring?

AngryBlakGuy December 2, 2008 at 2:01 pm

…Rhodium?! Why didn’t they just say Admantium or Gundanium?! It would have been more believable!!!

freakishlystrong December 2, 2008 at 2:01 pm

Giovanni the Jeweler.

TGY December 2, 2008 at 2:04 pm

I learned all about Rhodium. Very interesting.

Delicious December 2, 2008 at 2:04 pm

[re=189010]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Where does he get his sources?

The reliable British press!

[re=189033]AxmxZ[/re]: Ha. Giovanni the Jeweler.

Min December 2, 2008 at 2:04 pm

What’s really embarassing is that fact that Obama’s buying the ring on lay-away.

Borat December 2, 2008 at 2:05 pm

She deserves it. And, I bet Barry’s actually paying for it with his own money.

rhodium however, sounds like a source of radiation. I hope the this fits into a non-proliferation agreement of some sort. I heard on the cover of the New Yorker, they might be terrorists. And Joe da Plumber said they are most certainly terrorists and they should buy a DTV converter.

hedgehog December 2, 2008 at 2:07 pm

A diamond cock ring? That’s gotta hurt.

sarcasticusername December 2, 2008 at 2:08 pm

something tells me michelle’s people floated this idea to give sir hopey a hint that she wants something out of this too, and no dinner doesn’t cut it. hell if the kids get a puppy, and lets face it they didn’t have to do much except look cute for a couple of photo ops he’d better get her something; it’s hard work not giving sarah & cindy a piece of her mind whenever she got asked about some stupid shit they said, or biting her tongue when she was tempted to call katie couric a dumb bitch. plus she had to pretend to shop @ h&m and gap for 2 whole years, TWO WHOLE YEARS ALAN!

AngryBlakGuy December 2, 2008 at 2:09 pm

…$30,000?!?! I found a photo of the RING!

I heard Joe Wilson was going to write on op-ed on rhodium.

wheelie December 2, 2008 at 2:14 pm

When you get success, you buy your wife a ring – that is the Indonesian tradition.

glamourdammerung December 2, 2008 at 2:16 pm

I wonder if the wingnuts are spewing this as more “proof” that Obama is an elitist made similiar remarks when their guy did not remember how many houses he had.

monty December 2, 2008 at 2:24 pm

do we still get the handjobs???

if so i dont want mine from hillary, shes a boner shrinker.

maybe the new black rice lady

Deepthroat December 2, 2008 at 2:25 pm

My very reliable sources in Turkmenistan tell me that the “puppy” that everyone is dying to meet is actually being genetically produced by an A-list Chinese bio-jewler. The pup will have a skeletal system of pure Tungsten, a thick coat made of Swarovski crystals, and will actually urinate champagne. Why does Obama hate America?

monty December 2, 2008 at 2:27 pm

‘Giovanni the Jeweler’ wtf please clearly this guy is not a jeweler, and if he is he’s second rate at best. everbody knows teh jews have all teh jewels.if his name was fieldstein or rabinowitz i maight have believed it.

nurple December 2, 2008 at 2:27 pm

I recently bought myself a $30,000 ring, and as a result have to make myself readily available to myself for special “favors”. And I’m getting a little worn out…

Serolf Divad December 2, 2008 at 2:36 pm

“Unfortunately, we were negatively affected by read on national and foreign media news stories that have no basement[sic], and in excess of the objective reality.”

Those are almost exactly the same words that NASA used when presented with undeniable proof that the moon landings were faked. I cry foul!

WIDTAP December 2, 2008 at 2:37 pm

[re=189086]monty[/re]: Well he used to be Don Bosco the Jeweler, but “Don the Jeweler” just didn’t have that same “A-list” sound to it.

actor212 December 2, 2008 at 2:40 pm

Wow! This is just like that story that Hillary Clinton was divorcing Bill only she really wasn’t!

user-of-owls December 2, 2008 at 2:43 pm

All your basement[sic] are belong to Giovanni.

[re=189033]AxmxZ[/re]: Sounds like Dana Perino on a good day.

Lascauxcaveman December 2, 2008 at 3:24 pm

[re=189055]sarcasticusername[/re]: Yep, this is Michelle’s hard-ball opening negotiating gambit to get that ring.

Next step? Maybe some more hard-balling?

Godot December 2, 2008 at 3:34 pm

[re=189041]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: As the Socialist King of Muslin Wakanda, Barack Obama already has control of the world’s largest source of vibranium.

An American in Toronto December 2, 2008 at 3:42 pm

Clearly Obama needs to use these prominent Bidz.com ads to get a much cheaper ring for Michele.
