Clearly it’s a puppet regime.

Clearly a puppet regime.

Crab1 June 22, 2009 at 2:03 pm

shit

Deepthroat June 22, 2009 at 2:03 pm

What the hell is Congressman Waxman doing there???

Joehoya June 22, 2009 at 2:03 pm

I have this sneaking suspicion that there’s someone behind the scenes, pulling the strings.

coronad0 June 22, 2009 at 2:05 pm

Thanks … now I will be unable to sleep for the next 8 nights while I imagine Muslin Puppets under my bed with miniature kitchen knives waiting for me.

nbawriter June 22, 2009 at 2:05 pm

Seriously, when it comes to terrorism, that is Burqas x 10,000

[re=344406]Crab1[/re]: [re=344403]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Someone had to say it. You know owe each other a coke.

CivicHoliday June 22, 2009 at 2:08 pm

Gah! My eyes! Old-school puppets are behind only clowns on the list of things that scare me shitless

user-of-owls June 22, 2009 at 2:11 pm

I don’t remember hearing anything about Mortimer Snerd converting to Islam.

Deepthroat June 22, 2009 at 2:11 pm

@ Wookies and Crab: “HEY-O!” Jinx!

octupletsmom June 22, 2009 at 2:11 pm

I’ve seen this movie before…

Cicada June 22, 2009 at 2:12 pm

My soul is being eaten by the ginger with the zombie eyes. And the puppet is creeping me out too. Damn you, Newell!

please kill me.

Haudi Daoudi?

Internally valid June 22, 2009 at 2:16 pm

eh. Jeff Dunham’s still not funny.

Nanks June 22, 2009 at 2:17 pm

And the problem with this story/photo pairing is…?

S.Luggo June 22, 2009 at 2:18 pm

So many Newells, so small the blogosphere.

Lionel Hutz Esq. June 22, 2009 at 2:18 pm

So the Twilight Zone was right all these years: Ventriloquist Dummies are evil.

Wet Work June 22, 2009 at 2:20 pm

Pupate?
Puppet?
Wonkette?

Coincidence? Hmmm …

ManchuCandidate June 22, 2009 at 2:20 pm

Mahmoud is Persian for Howdy Doody?

user-of-owls June 22, 2009 at 2:21 pm

[re=344426]IceCreamEmpress[/re]: Oh no…you didn’t just do that. It hurts.

dijetlo June 22, 2009 at 2:25 pm

CNN has apparently started it’s own journalism school. The graduating class looks disturbingly like Wolf Blitzer sans manscaping and the one in a sailor suit just screams “desperately gay” but all in all a distinct improvement over their current cadre of on air talent.
Which one is going to replace Bill Bennett?

Come here a minute June 22, 2009 at 2:26 pm

The next election will feature the bride of Mousavi.

Monsieur Grumpe June 22, 2009 at 2:27 pm

It’s Charlie Muhammad McCartney’s family reunion otherwise known as one W C Field’s worst nightmares.

SayItWithWookies June 22, 2009 at 2:30 pm

[re=344406]Crab1[/re]: Not only do great minds think alike, they use almost identical wording.

El Pinche June 22, 2009 at 2:30 pm

Did they mistakenly post a picture of the republican caucus? (rimshot!)

[re=344403]SayItWithWookies[/re]: [re=344406]Crab1[/re]: You know, my twins completed each other’s sentences and other weird stuff. Any chance you two were separated at birth??

Extemporanus June 22, 2009 at 2:33 pm

The guardian council has obviously been overtaken by McCarthyites.

Lindsey Graham comments that this could not have happened without the Bush Administration having led the way. Ya sucha whimp, Obama.

jetjaguar June 22, 2009 at 2:38 pm

GABBO!

Humpback June 22, 2009 at 2:39 pm

At least it is not a picture of the Obama daughters.

norbizness June 22, 2009 at 2:43 pm

This will obviously start an international ventriloquist war reminiscent of the famous East Coast/West Coast ventriloquist conflicts.

problemwithcaring June 22, 2009 at 2:44 pm

Nancy Pelosi’s never look more rested.

Extemporanus June 22, 2009 at 2:45 pm

[re=344456]S.Luggo[/re]: Cracka also had this to say on “This Week with Gorgeous George Stephanopohplease” when asked what he thought of Obama handling of things:
He’s been timid and passive more than I would like…”

Hmm…

freakishlystrong June 22, 2009 at 2:49 pm

[re=344457]jetjaguar[/re]: Judging from your Avatar to your comment, I am now officially not the only MST3K nerd out here?

SayItWithWookies June 22, 2009 at 2:51 pm

[re=344456]S.Luggo[/re]: That’s true. Dubya led the way in creating courts without oversight or appeals that are expressly designed to convict rather than discover the truth. Asshole talks about exporting democracy and actually exports the mythical unitary executive.

slappypaddy June 22, 2009 at 2:51 pm

the puppets are pulling the strings?

AnnieGetYourFun June 22, 2009 at 3:02 pm

[re=344459]Humpback[/re]: HA! True dat.

Blender June 22, 2009 at 3:14 pm

Idiots… that’s not the Iranian Guardian Council; it’s a shot of the audience from the White House Correspondent’s dinner.

Hooray For Anything June 22, 2009 at 3:30 pm

[re=344499]Blender[/re]: I thought I saw Bill Kristol in there.

wallythepug June 22, 2009 at 3:42 pm

[re=344420]CivicHoliday[/re]: I thought I was the only one with dual clown/puppet phobias. I’ll have to sleep with the lights on tonight.

coronad0 June 22, 2009 at 3:52 pm

[re=344447]HipHopOpotamus[/re]: Maybe I should replace with this http://mat.ellis.name/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/clown.jpeg to take care of the puppet images.

donner_froh June 22, 2009 at 3:58 pm

Candidates for the now vacant Froomkin spot on the WAPO blogs. They decided to move in another direction.

bitchincamaro June 22, 2009 at 4:23 pm

[re=344444]SayItWithWookies[/re]: [re=344406]Crab1[/re]: Damn you two and your duplicating machines.

DirtyHarriett June 22, 2009 at 4:43 pm

So that’s what ‘Real Americans’ look like??

DirtyHarriett June 22, 2009 at 4:46 pm

I find them kinda creepy, though…..

Hominidx June 22, 2009 at 5:08 pm

I am completely willing to authorize bomb-bomb-bomb-bomb-bombing Iran now, green revolution be damned.

AKAM80TheWolf June 22, 2009 at 5:53 pm

Hey, our very own GaySailor has got wood!

Min June 22, 2009 at 6:14 pm

50 comments in, and no one went for the obvious marionette BUTTSECKS joke?

I stand amazed.

Lionel Hutz Esq. June 23, 2009 at 6:57 am

[re=344452]Extemporanus[/re]: First place. Well done sir.

[re=344504]Hooray For Anything[/re]: I’m pretty sure Tucker Carlson is in there also, with his bow tie back on.

jetjaguar June 23, 2009 at 9:30 am

[re=344470]freakishlystrong[/re]: Oh I’m positive that there are others. However, my avatar is not from MST3K, so you get, like, -1 points for that, he’s from Godzilla vs. Megalon. And if you were to pronounce his name out loud, you must do so very quickly, loudly, and in the accent of a small japanese boy.

TGY June 23, 2009 at 9:46 am

The Iranian government is full of martinets or marionettes or somesuch.

*sigh*
