I'm germophobically squeamish about that photo with that headline.

Headline (at TNR): "Jeb Bush Just Flushed Marco Rubio's 2016 Hopes Down the Toilet." Photo: Jeb wiping his hand on Marco's hand.

Chris Hughes bought TNR and ousted the oldies and this is what we get? I find it unacceptably crude... and faintly racist.

I not only will not vote for another Bush, I will actively campaign against him and for anyone offering the slightest alternative.

Like Hillary Clinton?

Vinik is a Democratic hatchet man with a byline. He only has one goal. His whole premise is crap. He just wants to eliminate one potential candidate.

Will Warren's candidacy "flush" Biden's chances. I doubt we will read that line.

I literally just shit my Prada pants in the elevator right now. Are they ruined? I can't take them to the cleaners.

My day was rough. I didn't have lunch until 3 because we finalized bonus payouts (28.2%)

On my way home as I was odoring the beautiful brownstones along the side streets of Cambridge when I began percolating.

I made to my loft building and said hi to Carleton, the doorman.

I got into the elevator and exploded. It was Chilopte shit-lettuce,brown rice, salsa, beans and corn. No shit got on the marble elevator floor though-thank the Lord Our Savior, amen.

I immediately peeled away the Prada, flat front, fitted, black pants The shit had transferred from my CK boxer briefs (white) onto the silk interior of my Prada's.

The rare clumber was at the door but I had to do some damage control.

I showered and put the Prada and CK attire in a garbage bag.

Shit-combo of beans, corn and rice were all over my taught thighs and 15 year old Prada prostate.

I entered the elevator again with the rare clumber and it smelled like a shithouse. When I see some of the other tenants later I am going to blame in on the Harvard profs who recently had a child-which the rest of us in the building are mighty pissed about.

I decided to walk around outside for a bit with the rare clumber in order to keep a distance.

The first person I saw entering the elevator was the MIT Music prof (who drinks too much and just received tenure).

He's lives below me, always wants me to stop by for a drink, and is a total bitch. Do you know MIT pays like 40% of untenured profs mortgage every month?

Anywho, she is what I would call a straight queen-she is major drama bitch and always has a drink in her hand. He has a girlfriend but is basically a woman-they don't live together like my hubby and me. She lives a block away and teaches at Harvard.

The straight queen will bitch about anything and I never say anything when she is playing her Wendy Carlos, Hooked On Bach, Moog Synthesizer.

Now I am going to hang for a bit before taking the rare clumber again.

My question is, Dear Abby, how long will the shit smell in the elevator? When is it safe to go into the elevator?

Rubio and Rand Paul are both up for re-election in 2016. They aren't going to run for President because they know they won't win. And they aren't going to give up cushy jobs in the Senate.

TNR doesn't load in the Opera browser.

Huffpo always takes a lot of time to load, and then freezes up, every time I go there.

Or, most likely, they know me and my IP and are just frightened sad sacks.

Guildofcannonballs said...

Titus I am going to Steel Panther on Sunday, I will ask around.

You'd be surprised at the knowledge that is out there.

el polacko said...

it's such an oddly failed attempt at photoshopping that i don't really know what to make of it. TNR could certainly do with hiring a better graphic artist.

B said...

TNR definitely knows how to be racist.

Jupiter said...

Hey, you clicked it. That's all Hughes cares about.

Gosnell's ghost.

Revenant said...

Racist how? They're both white.

madAsHell said...

I thought TNR publication was suspended until next year.....because the content generators walked out the door.

Bush's VP - Senator Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire or Governor Susana Martinez of New Mexico

Game over for Hillary and the Democrats.

NYT Editorial Page scared like a deer facing headlights of fast car.

Update-I returned to the elevator and it still smells like a whorehouse.

I spoke with the retired Biotech Execs (Amgen) across the hall in the PH, who are childless, and we are on the same page in that this was the baby in the building that caused the stench-they were livid.

Their english cocker spaniel, which is kinda rare, and my rare clumber are best of friends.

Carleton's switchboard has been lighting up and it's unanimous-the baby shit in the elevator.

I ran into Wendy Carlos and she was completely distraught, blaming the baby.

I can't wait to get in the elevator with the parents and give them a crusty with turned up lip. They are Canadian Wise Latinos, with Harvard degrees-the worst. They are hot though; originally from Montreal. The mother-in-law Frenchie travels here constantly-I always see her outside the building smoking a filterless Pall Mall.

Also, there are a couple young Asian Scientists in the building (Merck) who's elder parents are living with them. The father is sick and they carry around some thing for him to piss in. Sometimes they leave the piss jar by the mailboxes-totally tacky and unacceptable. And I have seen grandpa wong all over the building-with his wife holiding the bottle and his peni, his pants down, pissing in it-disgusting

There is also a section 8 couple in the building-being Cambridge, we have to have one based off the size of the building. Their fat. Anytime a unit has an open house we recommend they go on a nice long drive-in their Nissan Maxima-gasp.

It's not all fab being fabulous.

Rubio is still young

It happens. You must ask, if you cannot trust your asshole who then can you trust?

Actually, given his record and standing among the party leaders and money men, Jeb would be the perfect candidate, if only his name wasn't Bush.

Pretty much the only Dem he could beat would be Hillary, and if it looked like we were going to nominate Bush, the Dems would pick Warren.

" I can't take them to the cleaners."

Reminds me of a joke:
One day the magistrate got so drunk that as he was staggering home from the bar he became sick and vomited all over himself from his tie to his shoes.
After he recovered himself he managed to get home. His wife was up waiting. When she saw his condition she shrieked "Oh My God! What happened to you."
The magistrate, not wanting to hear endless lectures about his drinking said, "As I was making my way home from my club this evening, I came round the corner and ran smack into the most dastardly fellow, drunk as man could be still on his feet. The impact upset him and the impudent fellow spewed his innards all over my frontage."
"Good heavens!" cried the wife. Disgusting! I hope you gave that dastardly fellow what for."
" I certainly did, my dear. And I'm not finished yet. I summoned the constable and the rascal awaits my wrath, first case on my docket in the morning. Now I've had a rather trying evening my dear, so I will bid you good night."
So the old magistrate passed out on his bed, but got up early to avoid his wife and headed in to court.
About mid-morning the magistrate's secretary, against instructions, put through a call from the wife.
"Yes my dear, what is it?" said the magistrate impatiently.
"Well," said his wife, " I was just wondering if you had given that dastardly fellow what for yet?"
"I've just sent the bailiff for him now, my dear," said the judge, "but rest assured his hearing will be swift and his punishment severe."
"I'm happy to hear it," said the wife, "because the dastardly fellow not only spewed his innards all over your frontage, he also shit in your pants."

They're both human. They're both American. However, the social complex classifies Rubio selectively as "white" or "white-Hispanic", as circumstances motivate their peculiar interest.

Bob, you need to listen to the Tweed Album.

Titus mocked: When I see some of the other tenants later I am going to blame in on the Harvard profs who recently had a child-which the rest of us in the building are mighty pissed about.

He blames his own act on the least among us and seriously acts butt-hurt when he is called out in other threads.

You create your own contagious animus, Titus. Others like you actually kill the least among us.

Now excuse me if I forget to laugh at you.

Carnifex said...

Titus, as you found out, it's never safe to "go" in the elevator. And everyone has had an accident in their pants, it's the human condition. Albeit most don't narrate it quite so graphically. ;)

Anyway, I suspect your game was meant to shock the rubes. After decades of liberal fecal art, islamic terrorism, and 6 years of Obama, you're really gonna have to up your game to get a real good outrage going. As it is you were just slightly amusing.

Ps.

and I mean this in the nicest way, but I've never heard of a clumber. What the hell is it?

Rubio is a white-hispanic only if he shoots a black person.

There's an old joke, applicable here, with the punchline, "I don't know what you learned in college, but at my university we learned not to pee on our hands."
