Dude, you broke the blog.

Awesome!!!!!

Vinnie on July 21, 2007 at 11:15 PM

Allah’s going to kill me.

see-dubya on July 21, 2007 at 11:17 PM

IT’S STILL BROKE!!!

Canadian Infidel on July 21, 2007 at 11:19 PM

Nah, you know how many times we’ve whacked out the Jawa Report? Rusty ain’t killed us.

Yet.

It’s fixable, brutha.

Vinnie on July 21, 2007 at 11:19 PM

Dude, you broke the blog.
Awesome!!!!!
Vinnie on July 21, 2007 at 11:15 PM

Good weekend help is hard to find! ;-)

Allah’s going to kill me.
see-dubya on July 21, 2007 at 11:17 PM

I doubt it. He’s done it before…I think.

kahall on July 21, 2007 at 11:20 PM

The ozone layer is now completely obliterated. Do you know how much hairspray it takes to get that feathery, swoopy thing to hold like that? Three cans of this.

At least.

Michelle on July 21, 2007 at 11:21 PM

The Esquire cover should now be the HotAir picture of every John Edwards story. There should be no debate.

Canadian Infidel on July 21, 2007 at 11:22 PM

Whew! I’m glad it happened to you guys, too. I thought the Edwards picture was some kind of virus launcher, that was going to turn my computer into a slave, sending out Edwards for first Gay President spam [you know, like Clinton was the first black president].

smellthecoffee on July 21, 2007 at 11:23 PM

Umm, someone fixed it. Maybe me. Probably not.

Let’s not tell Michelle this happened.

Oh, shoot, 11:21…

see-dubya on July 21, 2007 at 11:23 PM

Hi Michelle,

My 73 year old Roman Catholic nun mother enjoys seeing you on FoxNews. I’m turning her into a big fan. Which isn’t that hard to do.

Canadian Infidel on July 21, 2007 at 11:24 PM

May I recommend some light reading?

High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton
Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right
Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism
How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)
Godless: The Church of Liberalism

RushBaby on July 21, 2007 at 11:25 PM

Now you see why I never gave up on using Breck Girl.

And this place looks just fine to me. Just don’t look under the rug ;-)

steveegg on July 21, 2007 at 11:25 PM

It IS fixed! Yay!

But, I couldn’t resist immortalizing it for all time.

Vinnie on July 21, 2007 at 11:27 PM

Having seen the broken blog version of HotAir just now I feel special somehow… although it was probably just that last glass of Cabernet.

Yeah, it took me this long just to type this; it’s been fixed now for like ten minutes.

FloatingRock on July 21, 2007 at 11:31 PM

Defector01 on July 21, 2007 at 11:31 PM

I just reloaded the front page and saw Edward’s picture on the magazine. It made me laugh out loud. Please use this for all Silky posts. pretty please….?

Canadian Infidel on July 21, 2007 at 11:33 PM

I’ll be selling the screencap framed, on Ebay if anyone is interested.

I’ll call it “See-dub In Repose.”

Vinnie on July 21, 2007 at 11:33 PM

“Breaks Hot air in a single post ?”"

Im sorry but that doesnt sound too good.

William Amos on July 21, 2007 at 11:36 PM

Double entendres are my specialty.

Vinnie on July 21, 2007 at 11:38 PM

Allah’s going to kill me.

see-dubya on July 21, 2007 at 11:17 PM

Dude, this is wrong on so many levels.

Fortunately I have enough beer on hand to erase this from my memory.

infidel4life on July 21, 2007 at 11:39 PM

Don’t worry See-Dub, I’ve seen the HA crew do it before too.

Bad Candy on July 21, 2007 at 11:46 PM

I’m Too Sexy

This could be the next video spoof if anybody wants to run with it.

abinitioadinfinitum on July 21, 2007 at 11:53 PM

Don’t worry See-Dub, I’ve seen the HA crew do it before too.

Bad Candy on July 21, 2007 at 11:46 PM

Yeah, the exact same symptom, with the unpopulated right column, occurred only a few months ago.

Add my vote to the list for this becoming the standard Edwards thumbnail.

FloatingRock on July 21, 2007 at 11:56 PM

Version 1.2…don’t they mean 0.0?

SouthernGent on July 21, 2007 at 11:59 PM

But but but, he’s the Princess.

I wonder if he wears a hairnet and a beauty mask to bed.

Speakup on July 22, 2007 at 12:03 AM

Is that Woman of the Year Thing at the top for real?

PowWow on July 22, 2007 at 12:06 AM

sorry sexiest woman alive, I was laughing too hard to remember it right

PowWow on July 22, 2007 at 12:07 AM

Is that a picture of a small bundle of wood?

TheSitRep on July 22, 2007 at 12:10 AM

From the Men’s Vogue link:

The hair, up close, is peppered with tiny strands of blond. Chestnut brown and so finely trimmed, mellifluous, smooth, and feathery, it could almost be a weave, the Platonic ideal as imagined by the Hair Club for Men. Along with the piercing blue eyes, slashing V-shaped smile, and a shimmering burgundy shirt tucked into stonewashed Levi’s resting low on the hips, the hair completes the man: John Edwards, a populist Adonis, a golden god of a Southern Democrat.

It’s been 35 years since I’ve read/seen pornographic literature like this. Never thought I’d live long enough to see it used in a political campaign though.

Do you know how much hairspray it takes to get that feathery, swoopy thing to hold like that?

More importantly, do you have any idea just how dangerous this thing might be when it finally collapses? We’ve had a LOT of engineering disasters in Washington state — like the collapse of the Tacoma-Narrows bridge, the WHOOPS fiasco, the sinking of the I-90 bridge, the collapse of Husky stadium, etceteras. Looks to me like Edwards hair has all the makings of one of those classic History Channel “Famous Engineering Disasters” episodes.

CyberCipher on July 22, 2007 at 12:11 AM

It’s real, and it’s fabulous, PowWow. Well, it’s slightly misleading. Follow the link.

PS: Darn you and your screencaps Vinnie! I would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for you meddling Jawas!

see-dubya on July 22, 2007 at 12:13 AM

CyberCipher
Begs the question, what GUY talks about another guy’s hair/outfit in that matter?

Defector01 on July 22, 2007 at 12:14 AM

Is that a picture of a small bundle of wood?

TheSitRep on July 22, 2007 at 12:10 AM

Silky & wood? Shit, now I need even more beer.

infidel4life on July 22, 2007 at 12:15 AM

A little birdie tells me that you have to have a slugline for your post or all those underneath it go poof.

But add a slugline back in, like I did, and they unpoof.

see-dubya on July 22, 2007 at 12:16 AM

That’s almost as bad as that picture of Gore from Rolling Stone from 2000

PowWow on July 22, 2007 at 12:19 AM

the more “masculine” this guy tries to look the worse he comes off

PowWow on July 22, 2007 at 12:23 AM

It goes without saying but, “you can’t make this stuff up”

As for the dude who’s wife got him a subscription using coke points, and he was sad to learn he didn’t get Maxim, etc. instead…. if you’re reading this (or for anyone else for that matter) get your subscriptions on eBay for just about anything. AT one point I had 5 magazines (4 years of 2 of them and 3 years of the other 2) Maxim, Stuff, Gear, Rolling Stone and I can’t remember the other (this was almost 10 years ago), all for a total of about $30! Eventually I cancelled Rolling Stone when their liberalism got out of control (they make the NY Times look like The National Review), gear suddenly disappeared or something…. but in the end I only wanted Stuff and Maxim anyway. I’ve since renewed a couple times, again by buying on eBay. I seem to be able to get 3-5 years of either for around $5, or both for an equally good deal, or bundled with others.

Anyway, just a tip for anyone considering mag subscriptions.

RightWinged on July 22, 2007 at 12:23 AM

I thought that a small bundle of sticks was a faggot.
As in: hey, kid bring that faggot so we can start a fire.

TheSitRep on July 22, 2007 at 12:25 AM

. . . Ruuuning freeeeeeeeeee.

MirCat on July 22, 2007 at 12:30 AM

MirCat on July 22, 2007 at 12:30 AM

I knew it! But I’m happy for him, er… her.

Kini on July 22, 2007 at 12:32 AM

BTW, if you look at the full cover photo it appears Sweaty Pretzel is wearing a Casio Ironman watch–or something similarly clunky and digital.

Nice proletarian choice, but I’ll bet Breck has a flunky just off of the photo set holding his Patek Philippe until he’s done.

see-dubya on July 22, 2007 at 12:34 AM

Howsit? Kini?

TheSitRep on July 22, 2007 at 12:35 AM

Slugline maybe see-dubya (only from a Java standpoint)…

On the other hand, considering the thread topic this might have had an effect

poof(2)–noun British. Slang: (not PC).

1. a male homosexual.
2. an effeminate male.

3. a silky poney
4. a male person with 3 cans of hair spray applied for ‘feathery’ effect (gold spray for super-silky touch)

Also pooff, pouf, poove.

Entelechy on July 22, 2007 at 12:38 AM

Just don’t look under the rug ;-)

Man, when the Hill said that I was like, No Way! She didn’t really say that!!! Then I realized she wasn’t talking about Bill’s condoms.

smellthecoffee on July 22, 2007 at 12:48 AM

did Entelechy say poofter?

Oh, I see, yes you are a cunning Linguist.
I stand corrected.

If bill was the first black president will silky be the first woman president ?

Mojack420 on July 22, 2007 at 12:55 AM

Edwards is a suitable candidate for governor of NJ

TheSitRep on July 22, 2007 at 12:56 AM

Edwards is a suitable candidate for governor of NJ

TheSitRep on July 22, 2007 at 12:56 AM

Yeah, or maybe working the stripper pole in a gay bar. Hmmm. What if he got elected mayor of San Francisco? They’d finally be rid of that philandering straight dude — Gavin Newsom. (FOR shame.)

CyberCipher on July 22, 2007 at 1:13 AM

LOL. Great picture.

Spirit of 1776 on July 22, 2007 at 1:16 AM

the more “masculine” this guy tries to look the worse he comes off

PowWow on July 22, 2007 at 12:23 AM

Ditto. And on the other side, the more “feminine” the pantsuit tries to look, the worse she comes off!

synycalwon on July 22, 2007 at 1:21 AM

The Edwards campaign has got to have its panties in a twist over this.

FloatingRock on July 22, 2007 at 1:23 AM

see-dubya on July 22, 2007 at 12:34 AM

Good eye! Sadly no one stupid enough to fall for the poverty platform would be intelligent enough to recognize something so contrived if they haven’t already seen Mr. I live in a friggin’ megamall’s hypocrisy.

RightWinged on July 22, 2007 at 1:43 AM

Yeah, but does Silky have any cleavage?

Mallard T. Drake on July 22, 2007 at 1:44 AM

Strike a pose. There’s nothin’ to it.

Kevin M on July 22, 2007 at 1:55 AM

How many times and directions and which-ways does this scream, “IT NEVER HAPPENED! IT’S A PHOTOSHOP!!!”

laelaps on July 22, 2007 at 2:43 AM

The upside is on Esquire site they have a pictorial of Giada De Laurentiis playing around in tomato puree…

Ripclawe on July 22, 2007 at 3:00 AM

laelaps on July 22, 2007 at 2:43 AM

It’s not a Photoshop, it’s on the official Esquire website:

You were once a Jawa yourself, my young Paduan learner.

All I know is I’m sad today… yesterday I thought we were ushering in “The End of Days”, when Satan VP Cheney was handed power during Bush’s colonoscopy, but sadly it appears he was left lurking in the shadows again… soon master, soon…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x99lnVeY4jQ

(for those not familiar, this is an old video, but it will never stop being funny and it puts a cap on my joke regarding the very true situation, if you hadn’t heard, where Cheney was briefly #1 yesterday)

What ever they do, they have to keep Silk Pony away from any open flames.

*POOOF!*

georgej on July 22, 2007 at 7:01 AM

He’s so manly.

That square chin.

That resolute gaze.

Those strong hands on his hips, Matt Dillon-style.

I can just see him now, striding up to the bar in a tough cowtown, and saying,

Do you have any quiche?

In a voice like the psych teacher on Daria.

/Sort of a riff on an old (real old) Mark Russell routine about Michael Dukakis, who this donk reminds me of for some weird reason

cheers

Take a look at our presidents’ portraits. None look that pretty. I don’t think we’ll aim for one this time. Chances aren’t good for this prima donna.

On a very serious note – he should be home for quality time with the family, instead of posing for beauty and glory at this time.

Note to Mr. Pretty Phoney: there is only one America and we’re all in it already. You’re in the upper most echalon and we know how you got there.

Entelechy on July 22, 2007 at 11:02 AM

He has a purdy mouf.

congsan on July 22, 2007 at 11:06 AM

Let me be frank:

What an unbelievable jackass.

Metro on July 22, 2007 at 11:18 AM

He is definitely a little bit “light in the loafers”.

The message?

I’m rich, gorgeous, smart and you are not.

Hhmmmmm…..

Who was that hairdresser again?

I’m going to get my hair done like that and prove him wrong!!!!

{{{{enter voyage to hairdresser}}}

I’m back already. Couldn’t stand to wait that long.

Hillary (and Kucinich) were ahead of me.

Mcguyver on July 22, 2007 at 2:07 PM

Why is it every time I eat a heavy meal Hot Air has a new Edwards pic for me to gag on.

Coronagold on July 22, 2007 at 7:21 PM

This she-male is a pox on all of our house. Him and his poor sickly wife just want justice and money for all, no matter where it comes from.

NEMETI IN SYRACUSE on July 22, 2007 at 8:28 PM

I thought sure this was a joke when I first saw it!

Amazing. I guess I have to say that Edwards is simply to pretty to be president…

…can’t say the same thing about Hillary.

JannyMae on July 22, 2007 at 9:38 PM

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig!

A cat can have a litter of kittens in the oven,
but that don’t make’m biscuits!

TheSitRep on July 23, 2007 at 9:47 AM

Actually, the entire COVER is barking mad.

Right next to Edwards it says “Can a White Man Still Become President?” It was so ridiculous I thought it was photoshopped.
