Jeez Louise! When should ANYONE, be they Republicans or Democrats or third party voters, think that they should be ACCOUNTABLE to the rest of the world for how they vote?!?!

Talk about bending over...

It's cowardice, plain and simple. OBL made his little tape promising to spare the folks who didn't vote for Bush and this is the reaction. Notice how many of the signs have some version of "please don't bomb us" on them.

Disgusting.

They got the name right.

They are truly SORRY! What a collection of wet-behind-the-ears dreamers and smoke'em if you got'em 1960's hippies.

Ascher's talking nonsense. Politics has always been funny. There was the time Gerald Ford fell over in about '75. Then there was that other guy who stumbled a bit in...er, about '83. Last week Castro fell flat on his face!And Jimmy Carter - his whole administration was a riot.

The sort of sarcasm and sniping we see on sites like this (and the weird shit from that Preacher fellow) lacks any sort of timeless quality. You think people will be quoting "Goomba Goom" in ten years time? Time to stop blowing smoke, chuckleheads.

Funny how? Do I amuse you?

Actually, politicians have acted funny. Or weird. I don't know of many genuinely funny politicians...although they have been known to crack a few one liners now then.

And before I forget it....blogs have added humor to politics, because we can crack wise about the government in near-real time, and much cheaper! Until the INTERNET, you had to buy a pitcher of beer at the local watering hole to get political commentary this good.

Mr. Campbell's right. Most of the nonsense floating around today will be forgotten shortly. Even the pictures of morons apologizing will mercifully be tidbits for some students thesis, if even that.

On the other hand, check out "werenotsorry.com"

Well, Mr. Campbell is right, but so what? If someone wanted all of this humor recorded for posterity, there would bazillions of books published already.

How many times have people sat around a table with 6 pack of beer, telling jokes? Or in a dorm room, sharing a package or cookies while solving world problems? And how many ghost writers hover in the background, capturing every word in case there's a great one liner for Jay Leno, or some sublime wisdom for Mad magazine? I don't know about you, but I sure haven't see anyone like that in my lifetime. If I missed them, someone owes me money.

Jeez! Lighten up, folks! Blogs provide much the same service, only a lot faster and cheaper. Although drinking alone sucks.

The Real Jeffs referred to a pitcher of beer.

He's no Aussie. Imagine going into the Burv and asking for a "pitcher of beer". You'd be lucky to get out with your teeth still in your mouth, or, as Bazza said, his teeth will be "so far down he'll have shove a tooth brush up his freckle to clean 'em".

O dear. We lack timeless quality, whatever the fuck that is. On the other hand the sight of grown men tripping and falling down never fails to amuse. Is that the view of the retard contingent that the loser lefties have been going on about?

Did Treacher just call us funny? Funny?!?

Looks at Spongebob pajamas and Sharpei slippers with the PVC non-slip soles. *check*

Observes ninety-plus bookmarks. *check*

Recalls cookie-and-recent-post history. *check*

Geek maybe. Funny. Never.

You've got to admit the pix of Bob Hawke elsewhere on this site show how funny pollies can be.

Actually, it's quiter heartening to know they're human. Isn't better to see them slobbering over some chick, rather than breaking cabbies' arms?

I just can't believe how many of these retards with their "sorry" posters put in the P.S. "Don't bomb me!"

Talk about a ready-made dhimmitude - I only wish that these fuckwits could be charged with treason, or giving aid and encouragement to terrorists.

May Allah (SWT) strike down and dismember these infidel dhimmis.

Not to mention the rampant narcissism that would compel somebody to write "please don't bomb me!"

Lefties:

a) You're not important enough that some terrorist would specifically single you out for bombing, and

b) you're not special enough that said terrorist would bother to check your pacifism credentials before pulling the trigger, should you happen to end up in his path anyway.

So, please, get over the notion that terrorists would actually listen to you, crudely-drawn signs or not.

OK Walterplinge, if you don't order beer by the pitcher in Australia, how *do* you order it? Is this a semantic problem or an etiquette problem?

JUGS!

Annalucia, I can only speculate that Australian bar maids have arms bigger than Popeye and hands the size of baseball gloves, essential to hauling gallons of grog from the kegs to thirsty Aussies.

These Alcoholic Amazons probably deliver the same amount of beer in one night that Bavarian barmaids haul during all of Oktoberfest in German.

Either that, or Aussie pubs have spigots along the wall in a buffet-style drinkathon.

But maybe I'm wrong. Walter? How do I avoid broken teeth should I decide to visit Australia?

Kaboom, by "JUGS!", do you mean large, heavy liquid containers similar to (but not the same thing as) ..... pitchers???

It's either that, or you are blogging on the beach, and some lady in a bikini just walked by.

JeffS: See Kaboom.

JeffS, would you believe .... both!

Kaboom;

If it is both, than you are a luck man indeed.

The photo portraits over at sorryeverybody.com seem strange to me: most look like the subjects are either kidding or trying to set themselves up for eventual beheading by displaying a schmoo-like nature inviting their slaughter. [The schmoos were bowling pin shaped creatures whose reason for existence around the Li'l Abner Dogpatch region was to be eaten by the residents. They had no other use or desire.] It is convenient that they supply the photos. For me, I'll just stick with the coin of Dan Rather and say with equal sincerely, "I'm sorry", to pay the politically correct price for whatever it is I'm trying to get out of which might involve "going through all these things twice" [Bob Dylan, Memphis Blues Again]. No such luck.

The best part about the apologies is that they're not apologizing for their own votes; they're apologizing for how other people voted. People like me, for example.

Seems to me that if these people are going to take the blame for what I do, I can do pretty much anything.

LOL, Kaboom! Enjoy the beach and the beer!

I don't have to feel bad about the Spongebob pajamas then?

Oh, hey, I don't have to get all incensed about the Aussie use of the word "jugs" either!

I love the Anglosphere.

I'll give you a $1 USD if you can find my submission on that gay site:

How they can accuse the opposition of being ignorant and stupid is one of those sociological mysteries.

Thanks for the link randy in texas, that page is cool! For those of you who haven't seen werenotsorry.com, check this out!!!

DrZin, it has to be the Chamberlain photo (although a couple of others may be open to misinterpretation).

My favourite is the "Marry Us" bunch at
http://www.sorryeverybody.com/gallery/93/

Talk about some sorry fucktards in that photo.

Jeez, waddya call a bloke who unintentionally apologises on behalf of Georgia's morons? A ubermoron? Mooron? Gigageoron? A Carter apologist? Billy Carter? Now where did he get to?

Thats the problem with this pesky democracy. All these people didn't vote for someone you agree with, and that is just so stupid of them.

Please note, this applies to both sides of politics equally.

"Please note, this applies to both sides of politics equally."

That's very true, Andy. But there's a difference between calling someone stupid because they don't agree with you, and throwing a tantrum in public because you didn't get your way. These photos are largely examples of the latter.

DrZin: I vote for the photo right after PM Chamberlain, where the Puce wanna holds a sign saying:

"DON'T OPOLGISE
TEACH THOSE OTHER
SUCKER WHAT FREEDOM
IS REALLY
CANADA"

It’s unbelievable how funny not only the bloggers, but the average commenters (usually beginning by their very nicknames)

I wasn't trying to b funny.

I will vote any way this woman tells me to.

Now there's one place you'd like to see the left and right meeting in the middle!

Darn it, her signs are covering up the fish!*

* Warning: this humor may not be timeless.**

** Or very funny.

If you really want to chuckle, think about what happened to their bandwidth charges after CNN crashed their site! Heheheheheh!

>O dear. We lack timeless quality, whatever the fuck that is. On the other hand the sight of grown men tripping and falling down never fails to amuse. Is that the view of the retard contingent that the loser lefties have been going on about?

It's the sign of someone who was trying to be funny, and clearly failed. Perhaps this will be clearer:

"You damn kids with your wisecracks. It was funnier in my day. Get a proper job."

And perhaps this might amuse you more:

Weekend at Hawkie's (Idea developed in comments here).

I've had a fun time Gooba gooming the losers at contact@sorryeverybody.com
Try it. It's fun

Some US marines, on exercise near here, came into the pub & confused the barmaids no end by asking for a "picture of beer"
After the girls worked out that the lads were just called a "jug" of beer by another name, everything was fine, until the marines departed, leaving their small change on the bar, one of the barmaids had to follow them for about 2 blocks to catch up & return the money.
Until they go to their grave, the bar staff here will believe that americans are super rich. People leaving their money behind (when sober) is unknown!

M: Love those pitchers...
;^)

RE sorry bandwidth woes: Nothing like a good Commielanch.

A good number of those photos are ironic or put-ons of one sort or another. CNN takes it seriously of course because it is CNN's job to be the credulous, dotty aunt of the MSM world.

On an unrelated note, I offer this suggestion for Arafat's body: let it lie in state in a glass box in the lobby of BBC headquarters in London. That way, the 10,000 or so fired BBC staffers can kiss it as they stream by on their way to unemployment.

I don't care where they bury him, just so there is a urinal on the grave.

Outside of the "Yeaarrrrgh" scream, the most memorable moment was the
"Win a Date with Dennis Kucinich" contest.
http://www.politicsnh.com/mrskucinich.html

Here's one of the contestants,
"I can’t imagine my life being complete without a date with Dennis. Granted all goes well on the date, and I see no reason why it wouldn’t, I have high hopes for being first lady. I am the year of the dog and believe strongly in astrology: the stars say we’re meant to be."

As Krusty would say, "Pure comedy gold"

As for the beer, isn't anyone here but me old enough to remember the "Trough and Brew" sketch on SNL? You line up with a bib at a trough full of chili and slurp it down, no-hands style. Just put your face in the trough. Periodically a waitress comes by with a hose with a sprayer attachment and sprays beer into your face. Now *that's* a restaurant!!

'The website, sorryeverybody.com, features pictures of troubled US citizens '

No kidding, they could also have said brain addled, mentally ill, needing a big hug, neurotically needing affirmation to the extent of humiliating themselves or just the plain and simple LOSERS

Kaboom - you're right, a hideous sight, that one at the back, is it male or female? I wouldnt touch them with yours as the saying goes. However, I'm going have to pull rank on you and give the girl in the blue top a free pass - if you know what I mean ;)

Sergio - every now and again I switch to CNN in the mistaken belief I might in some way be informed about an issue of the day. What a mug I am, whatever the issues CNN always manage to cover something else, somewhere else, news for everybody ie news for nobody.

I want see something about US elections, they will be showing an earnest piece about the artificial insemination of goats in Bulgaria. A rail accident in Britain - CNN will be forecasting the weather in Saigon.

Words cannot describe how utterly shite CNN is.
