The Code Pink liberals held their “throw shoes at Bush” reenactment yesterday, yay. A small but dedicated crowd went and threw shoes at a plaster Bush zombie. But then something far worse appeared, from the “neo-liberal” Washington Post newspaper: DANA MILBANK, with a cameraman, reporting on the fun for his next grating “local color” column. It’s hard to express how smug Dana Milbank is in this video, even by his standards. Don’t torture yourself! Just skip to the end when the Pinks start throwing shoes at Milbank instead, until he starts whining. [More protest videos at Nikolas Schiller's]
Everything Code Pink touches, is destroyed.
Was Dick Morris there?
And we can blame Trig for that, too.
Finally, common ground between Islam and the West.
Thank you Obama!
shortsshortsshorts: This is true: they drove dreamy Adam Kokesh into the arms of Ron Paul.
What’s wrong? I thought he was the perfect person to cover such a lame and half-assed demonstration.
If the shoe hits, air it.
OH GAWWWD. That video. So painful.
Isn’t that a waste of a perfectly good pair of shoes? Do they even try to get their shoes back? Why on earth would anybody just want to throw away their shoes? Sometimes I have an old pair of shoes, with holes in it, and I think I should throw them away, but I usually hang on to them, because old shoes are the most comfortable. Maybe next time I can throw them at someone. I’m Andy Rooney.
Smug doesn’t begin to describe it. Couldn’t they have pelted Milbank with large rocks or something on fire?
The perfect *kicker* would be Fred Armisen showing up as Gov. Paterson and throwing some shoes at that little girl.
And the “Bag of Salty Dicks Award” goes to…
DemmeFatale: Trig.
drrty martini: WHOA HOLD UP… What happened to Kokesh? He’s a paultard now? Where’s your proof? WHY!?! WHY!?1 WHY1?!
Beef Supreme:
OK, I actually laughed out loud at that. So, thanks?
I never realized what a dripping douche nozzle Dana really was until now.
MILBANK, FROM EVERYBODY: STOP….DOING….THESE….STUPID…AMATEURISH…UNFUNNY….VIDEOS. THE VIDEOS ARE NOT FUNNY. YOU ARE NOT FUNNY. YOU ARE NOT A COMEDIAN OR AN ACTOR. THESE VIDEOS ARE HORRIBLE. PLEASE…STOP IT, NOW, FROM EVERYBODY. Gawd almighty, what on earth does it take to get the point throught to people? Not everyone is a comedian or comes across well on video–and most print reporters fall into this category. And that includes Milbank. Milbank: You are a newspaper reporter. Please report news stories in The Washington Post. Forget this gawdawful video thing.
thefrontpage: It’s a new age in the news. Milbank and his goons HATE the internet and i don’t think he wants to do these videos. They just don’t want to die when paper news drowns. That voice is the best thing to listen to do make women never want sex.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA GAINING NEW LEGS! GET IT?
Dana. You are not funny. You are deeply annoying. These are two different things.
Please stop appearing in any kind of video form, ever, anywhere.
MedianHater: This breaks my cold, shriveled heart: http://kokesh.blogspot.com/
What’s funnier-sounding, Milbank or Vilsack?
What’s funnier-sounding, ficus or sphincter?
I definitely would’ve pilfered those Doctor Martens shown about 30 seconds in.
Calling Milbank smug is like calling Kissinger a murderer. It barely scratches the surface. I’m so glad KO dumped him from Countdown. Unfortunately, that only seems to have made Milbank even more intolerable. I can only hope & pray that the WaPo goes down in financial flames so that superior blog-hating dickbag finds himself starting his own version of an even crappier Politico just to make ends meet. Then we can TruckNutz® bomb the fuck out his comments. Though even then he’ll probably be a coward like The Corner and not allow comments. Somebody kick him in the teeth already. With a horse.
Dana has both a voice and a face for newspaper reporting. Go back to stalking Congressional hearings.
cut to the shoes, Dana, cut to the shoes….
Code Pink is getting a little slow on the uptake. Used to be there was only about a day’s time between some event and their slightly related, completely insignificant protest and inane yell session.
Is it possible that some of them got confused about which Dana this was? Our Pixie Princess of Prevarication was assaulted by an understandably upset (and hormonal?) microphone, who had been lied-to one too meny times…
i like the barely concealed anti-hippie rage
I would have found that boot from the Simpson’s episode where Bart has to be punished by the Australian government with a “booting” and thrown that.
Code Pink has a lot of sole, if not heart.
Also, some of those were thongs. DOESN’T COUNT!
Why does this remind me of the “Running Of The Jews” segment from “Boart”?
He SERIOUSLY ended that with “the story is gaining new legs”?!?!?!?
If I’d been there, I would have beaten him to death with my heels after the first thirty seconds.
