*Insert funny quip about LaHood being from Da Hood.*

obfuscator December 17, 2008 at 4:26 pm

I suppose LaHood thought it was really funny when he cut Obese Abe’s tie.

I thought I had the “know your district” game down pretty well, and then this fucking guy comes into the administration and I am forced to admit that I have no fucking idea who this dood is. WHAT OF THAT, say you?

Naked Bunny with a Whip December 17, 2008 at 4:27 pm

This just means LaHood will be Obama’s chauffeur.

I knew there were ‘young Elvis’ & ‘fat Elvis’ impersonators. I had no idea there were ‘thin Abe’ & ‘fat Abe’ impersonators, though.

Yah, that is the ‘stoutest’ version of Abe I’ve seen. The real Abe HUSSEIN Lincoln was notoriously thin.

Also, I have ejected Campbell! Yay! I am master of teh Intarwebs and blessed by Ceiling Cat.

which one is LaHood?

shanemcgowan December 17, 2008 at 4:35 pm

I don’t know what position he holds in the House Republican leadership, but he is constantly on C-Span.

TGY December 17, 2008 at 4:36 pm

…and voila, my next>> button is back.

[re=201342]TGY[/re]: Mine ain’t! WTF you guys? Is this a pagehit scam, like the new Jez layout?

SayItWithWookies December 17, 2008 at 4:39 pm

Too bad his name wasn’t Ray L’AircraftCarrier or he could’ve gotten SecDef.

Scarab December 17, 2008 at 4:41 pm

Wow what a suck cabinet post.
Obama really hates the GOP.

Scarab December 17, 2008 at 4:45 pm

He’s a Republican so it’s pronounced “lewd”.
At least that’s what John Boehner told me.

[re=201321]obfuscator[/re]:
I don’t think that’s a tie. I think it’s his chest hair tied up like a pony tail.

Monsieur Grumpe December 17, 2008 at 4:47 pm

[re=201336]nosnikreplliw[/re]:
The one in the middle.

TGY December 17, 2008 at 4:48 pm

[re=201346]greensprout[/re]: Campbell Brown had eaten my <>, apparently. It has lots of calories.

obfuscator December 17, 2008 at 4:52 pm

[re=201322]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: His replacement is Aaron Schock, the 28(?) year old GOP wunderkind who notoriously suggested that the US should sell Taiwan nuclear weapons. He’s a douchey type.

Illinois 18th congressional district.

[re=201323]Naked Bunny with a Whip[/re]: I always wondered what a transportation secretary did, and now I know. Well, that’s kinda a lie, I don’t really care as long as they give us more SUVs

shortsshortsshorts December 17, 2008 at 5:07 pm

[re=201378]obfuscator[/re]: TERRIFYING. It’s like a nuclear Palin. All should fear this “Aaron Schock” moran.
Anybody who thinks that giving bombs to the rival-state of China that happens to be just a stone’s throw away should be banished from earth.

[re=201342]TGY[/re]: How? How? How didja do it? Help me!

Borat December 17, 2008 at 7:38 pm

Does the transportation secretary have authority over the Trucknuts industry? I hear there will be a big $ale soon given no more cars in America anymore.

The Scientician December 17, 2008 at 8:53 pm

LaHood is also the first quasi-Lebanese-American in the cabinet. This doesn’t exactly deserve the Drudge siren, but I felt as a “Peorian” I should contribute.

BTW, click on the PJStar front page to experience a true journalistic shitbasket. Another top headlines: “Eureka man found in sludge pond died of drowning, autopsy shows.”

That is Abe Stutzman, local character kicked out of the amish for heavy drinking and his fancy english clothes.

chascates December 18, 2008 at 8:57 am

You really need two of those hats. One to shit on and the other to cover it up with.
