God-Like Barack Obama Wins Using Magical "Internet"

let's bring this back to rick sanchez. he's an ass. first-class ass. he sucked in miami, he sucked at msnbc, and he sucks now. he's not a hottie girl, so g-d only knows why jon klein has him on the payroll.

as for his cluelessness about the internet: i think there's a movement to make sure all cnn anchors act as if they're from east bumfuck who know nothing about anything -- as if THAT will make viewers trust them for their news.

they live and work in atlanta. give me a fucking break.

okay, back to the bottle.

I am SO god damn tired of the Obama campaign's messiah-complex. I used to be a Hillary supporter who would happily vote for Obama were he to get the nominaton; now, if it comes to it, I'll vote for him simply because he'll be the lesser of two evils on the ballot come November.

"In Rainbows" was about Barack Obama.

I would certainly take Wenner's money on the weekends but I would try to keep him from telling the other kids at school that we were actually friends. He should have held out for a Spin cover, at least.

I've personally seen Obama levitate stuff with beams that shoot out of his eyes. And he can cure diseases with a handshake.

The way he says "magazine" makes me think reading is more a foreign concept to him than the internet is...

Did he learn all his hand gestures from the Godfather movies? Except the air quotes, of course - those would (and should) get you whacked.

Um, Ryan? Why are you spending so much time on Ricky Van Veen's blog? First you have a item about him (sorta) threatening to (sorta) murder Gawker contributors. Now you're sourcing him for the RS cover close-up pic. Are you cyberstalking him in retaliation? He does have that whole dorky/hot thing going on. Oh, wait. So do you. Nevermind.

I'm a little confused... Was the only place to link to a photo of this Rolling Stone cover Ricky van Veen's blog, right below the post where he predicts your murder?

Either he's fake Nick Denton, or you're trying to get the Secret Service on his butt. Or both. Frankly, it's hard to tell with all the drug-laced tap water I've been drinking.

The anchor is Okie von Muskogee, if I understood correctly. But it could've been "Bin" Muskogee, not sure.

Look, this guy is NOT 85 yrs old for Dog's sake. Jesus, he's most likely still in his 30's. How the fudge are you THAT out of touch at such a relatively young age?

I may have just seen the stupidest man on television. Who in fuck's name was the anchor? I've never seen him before in my life - can somebody sterilise him, if he hasn't been done already? I'm worried about him procreating. Not his actual offspring - I'm worried that he'll do something like set himself on fire trying to have the sexy with a lady.

Seriously. He went beyond stupid. Did he wander in from Fox? I'm intrigued. Anybody here know his name? I'm going to use it as a shortcut for being both loudly moronic and wilfully dense. Thanks in advance.

It's so easy to be God when the candidate you're running against has been made out to be the devil for the last 16 years. Why do the dirty work when its already been done for you? Leaves more time for making MySpace friends.
