Video: The obligatory “Obama sings happy birthday to Helen Thomas” clip

posted at 6:02 pm on August 4, 2009 by Allahpundit

Here’s what the boss would call the emetic of the day. Watching it, I wondered how it could be made any more stomach-churning for conservatives. Maybe if Al Gore had a cameo? If Helen said something snotty and dismissive about Palin? If The One — who’s also celebrating a birthday today — used the occasion to goof on Birthers? Help me out.

And yes, I deliberately saved it for posting during the dinner hour. How does it taste? Did it go down smooth?

I would not call her ugly. But she is a vile little woman who has no respect for the military or for anyone who is not just like her.

As for the remarks about shacks on wheels, that is a nice bit of class elitism there. And here I thought the left was supposed to be all about taking care of the poor. I guess that only applies when and if the poor remember their place.

This would break Helen’s cold old heart, from Powerline:

Public unhappiness with the Democrats’ legislative agenda–government health care, tax and trade, cash for clunkers and various bailouts–is increasingly being reflected in the generic Congressional preference numbers. Today Scott Rasmussen finds support for Republican Congressional candidates at its “highest level in recent years.” Republican candidates enjoy a five-point lead over the Democrats, 43-38 percent. That represents a stunning turnaround from Election Day 2008, when the Democrats had a six-point lead in the Congressional preference poll.

I know you don’t hate us because you gave us fair warning. Censorship begins at home and I’m NOT clicking…

Best wishes on your birthday, Helen.

Now retire.

This partisan imbecile is FOR this healthcare debacle KNOWING she’s be a gonner??? WTF?

That’s the first solid arguement I’ve heard for supporting this piece of sh!t bill.

” I will leave it up to you, Helen… how you distribute the cupcakes.”

Not enough to go around, and not all that good either… Nuf said.

I refuse to watch this. But then again, who will? Given Obama’s lousy ratings of late, I doubt if anyone will bother watching.

Terrye on August 4, 2009 at 7:59 PM

Given the filthy liar’s propensity to preempt television and dictator thug-like regime, I’m surprised he didn’t go on television and lecture us on nationalized healthcare before declaring today a worker’s holiday in honor of him. Castro or Chavez do this, why not our own dictator?

Obama chooses healthcare reform over World Peace and ending Racial Prejudice!

“Helen’s birthday wish is for world peace and ending racial prejudice, Helen and I have ONE birthday wish in common, a healthcare reform bill.”

I watched it live on Fox and about fell out of my chair. Wow. Time for Rham to tether obama to his teleprompter?

Helen, Hell called, they’ve got your room reserved. They said hurry if you can.

Do you think Helen colors her hair? Only her hairdresser knows for sure.

That’s gotta be a very bad old lady wig.

“My fellow Kenyan’s…err American’s, I want to sing Happy Birthday to ME and this old hag who would have died at 61.7 years with my new healthcare proposal.

dthorny on August 5, 2009 at 8:29 AM

She looks about as good as Michelle, the other angry American.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

This is a microcosm of President Obama’s Middle East strategy: be nice to the bad people, with the hope that they’ll be nicer to you as a result. The actual result? Everybody starts behaving bad, because everyone’s wants the nice attention. What a great strategy.

The Talmud says, “those who are kind to the cruel will inevitably end up being cruel to the kind”.

I wonder how much Proszac was in her cake? Can’t have credible journalists exposing the faults of the Obama Mafioso!
