Video: “Occupy Wall Street, I need attention”
posted at 9:19 pm on October 18, 2011 by Allahpundit
Via Opie and Anthony by way of Mediaite, comedian Kelley Lynn has a fee-vah and the only prescription is a trip to Twinkles City. Unlike last night’s Stern clip, most of the laughs here come from the infiltrator, not the protesters themselves. (Most, but not all. Check out some of the dancing.) If it’s protester-inspired humor you want, go read New York magazine’s pop quiz of OWSers on basic economic matters. Here’s my favorite data point. Let’s subtitle this one, “Why I drink.”
Follow the link and read their post for the correct answer in case — heaven forbid — you don’t already know it offhand. How seriously can you take lectures on economics from people who are this badly misguided about the feds’ budgeting priorities? Imagine their reaction when they find out which programs are the biggest drivers of U.S. debt. (Hint: Not the Pentagon.) Why, they’ll … just shrug and demand Medicare for all anyway, right?
Actually, I’d bet most of the public is operating under the same delusion about defense spending vis-a-vis health care. Maybe America deserves OWS after all. Exit quotation: “What did I spend the last four years doing? Fluent in Mandarin and French and no one wants to go for that? And it’s like, now what?”

I seriously hate those scumbags down at OWS.

This is one of the funniest things ever!
Daddy didn’t hug me enough!
RedRedRice on October 18, 2011 at 9:26 PM
Off topic, but… I clicked on the main page link to the Sally Kohn op-ed “Occupy Wall Street: It’s not what they’re for, it’s what they’re against”. I want my two minutes back.
TubbyHubby on October 18, 2011 at 9:27 PM
Ew anyone see that green thing dancing for that split second
blatantblue on October 18, 2011 at 9:28 PM
Cute. Won’t wake anybody up from their delusions, but cute.
Freelancer on October 18, 2011 at 9:31 PM
The intellect of my goldfish exceeds that of those hippie dolts.
rplat on October 18, 2011 at 9:33 PM
An agent provocateur? Loved her signs.
Dandapani on October 18, 2011 at 9:33 PM
That. Is. Funny.
mimi1220 on October 18, 2011 at 9:35 PM
It’s incredible – I can actually smell them through my computer screen! WHO???? would even consider hiring these slackers?
IlonaE on October 18, 2011 at 9:35 PM
I really wish it were 90% spent on the military! Security and jobs in one package.
OldEnglish on October 18, 2011 at 9:37 PM
AP, if you’re fluent in Mandarin, you got it made in the shade with all the business connections that have developed.
‘Course, if your specialty and main interest is 19th century Chinese lesbian poetry, then…
eeyore on October 18, 2011 at 9:40 PM
Predictably idiotic.
hillbillyjim on October 18, 2011 at 9:44 PM
She’s comedian Kelley Lynn.

Tell me about it! I haven’t been able to find a job as a gas-lamp lighter in ages!
OldEnglish on October 18, 2011 at 9:45 PM
I didn’t spent four years learning Mandarin & French…but I did spend about a week learning how to write C++ and Perl, and those will pay off all my life. I also didn’t graduate high school. I now make a comfortable living, because I’ve been willing to do everything from dig ditches, burn poop, and get shot at, to provide for myself and my family.
Hint: If you’re going to spend tens of thousands of dollars on an “education” you won’t pay off before you’re 40, make sure it’s in something worthwhile.
Sgt Steve on October 18, 2011 at 9:45 PM
Jeebus, what a circus, nothing but noise and douchebags playing on their buckets. Protest, yah sure, it’s a refugee camp with bad music.
Loved the one sign though, “Wall Street and the Pentagon are enemies of humanity”. Ooooooook.
Bishop on October 18, 2011 at 9:46 PM
She’s fluent in Mandarin and French — two major business languages, one in extremely high demand — and she can’t find a job anywhere?
I’m calling BS on that one.
amerpundit on October 18, 2011 at 9:46 PM
I’m taking my $17 out of Chase Bank…ha
Norbitz on October 18, 2011 at 9:47 PM
I’m sure I can hear the response now: “Well, defense spending includes the vets, while Medicare/Medicaid/SS are covered by a pension-like structure, not incomes taxes.” In other words, medical care on vets counts as defense government spending, but medical care on the rest of us doesn’t count as government spending at all.
That is, for those who’ve thought it through.
calbear on October 18, 2011 at 9:47 PM
Those neohippies are so disconnected from reality that somebody behaving in a ludicrous fashion right next to them doesn’t even stand out or arouse any suspicion.
This is not a protest. This is an excuse to get in touch with their inner hippie.
keep the change on October 18, 2011 at 9:47 PM
Love the fat lady. Hope people realize that when it comes to OWS, the fat lady has sang.
Own it Dems. Own it. Please
Rod on October 18, 2011 at 9:48 PM
Well I’m sure she refuses to work for DOD, CIA, FBI, or anything
blatantblue on October 18, 2011 at 9:48 PM
Can we get that woman to run for president? All the candidates suck.
MadisonConservative on October 18, 2011 at 9:50 PM
You’re presuming two tiers of thought processes beyond the vast majority of OWS attendees.
Sgt Steve on October 18, 2011 at 9:50 PM
I’m sure she wrote a bad word on a rock somewhere, and then we can all turn on her and scorn her as the new RINO Devil. It’s been a winning strategy so far.
Good Solid B-Plus on October 18, 2011 at 9:53 PM
Seriously, if were fluent in Mandarin I’d have a job before tomorrow morning.
amerpundit on October 18, 2011 at 9:54 PM

rob verdi on October 18, 2011 at 9:55 PM
she’s full of shi’ite, just like the girl that said her mac laptop was 5,500
blatantblue on October 18, 2011 at 9:57 PM
Oh that’s that wonderful guy from the Hartford Tea Parties! (the American flag dude).
amend2 on October 18, 2011 at 9:58 PM
If you are sick of the OWS morons, check this video out for a refreshing view of real life.

Is she sure that she lost her job at the Jack in the Box? Doesn’t look like it.
Rambotito on October 18, 2011 at 10:00 PM
Just asked my husband, and he guessed the same thing. He’s more liberal than I am, but he’s not an ideologue. I was genuinely surprised that he didn’t know this one.
Esthier on October 18, 2011 at 10:02 PM
She would never work for one of those nasty corporations. She has been targeting her job search to organic vegetable co-ops. There must be one that needs someone fluent in Mandarin, right?
Aviator on October 18, 2011 at 10:06 PM
I lol’d
29Victor on October 18, 2011 at 10:09 PM
Had some nice moves. Is that what the younger set call bustin’ a move?
a capella on October 18, 2011 at 10:18 PM
Awful lot of white folks there. Looks to me like the OWS movement might be a little racist.
xblade on October 18, 2011 at 10:31 PM
My son is fluent in Mandarin and French and also Somali and Spanish. It didn’t take him 4 years either. And he has a job with the same outfit that gave him the language training. The Air Force. In fact, he is going for the advanced Mandarin training soon.
Oh and no, they don’t make him kill babies on the side. In fact, while he was in Kenya a couple of years ago, his unit completely refurbished a school in their spare time while they weren’t catching Somali pirates.
Lily on October 18, 2011 at 10:45 PM
Man, you maniacs can’t get enough of the OWS stuff. You swear up and down that it’s a totally irrelevant movement, and yet, every fourth friggin Hot Air post for the last two weeks has been about OWS.
You’re getting played like a piano. Very fun to watch this psycho reaction and predictable groupthink. Like a bunch of starved sows, crowding over each other for a bite of fresh goat snot. I can practically hear those pink haunches slapping together.
Hahaha.
bifidis on October 18, 2011 at 10:46 PM
Funny both on its face, and for the less-obvious reason that someone fluent in English, Mandarin Chinese, and French who can’t get work must be so lazy as to be confused for a paraplegic.
HitNRun on October 18, 2011 at 11:38 PM
As a hippie indulging your vanity, you may be new to Hot Air. If so, you’re probably unaware that 2/3 of the stories here are are posted by AP to troll conservatives for traffic. Your new club is not special.
You should have been here for Palin season.
HitNRun on October 18, 2011 at 11:41 PM
A bite of fresh goat snot? Bwahahahahahaha! That’s almost as funny as the video!
McKenz59 on October 18, 2011 at 11:42 PM
One could hope there is another path.

LCT688 on October 18, 2011 at 11:47 PM
The best part is that all she is saaaaaaaaying, while done in mockery of the OWS chumps, is probably pretty damned close to the truth about them.
Christien on October 19, 2011 at 1:13 AM
Because we’re stunned by the banality of it.
John the Libertarian on October 19, 2011 at 1:30 AM
That chick cracks me up. Give peace a chance. Oh yes! So brutal. And necessary.
Kenosha Kid on October 19, 2011 at 1:52 AM
Her twitter page is hysterical btw…
The Ugly American on October 19, 2011 at 2:02 AM
She has to be the smartest person at the protest…

Do these folks really think anybody in the real 99% give a road apple what these fools think?
Love Mama Cass!
Open The Door on October 19, 2011 at 4:07 AM
“Only creeps photograph sleeping people.”
Yes, because sleeping en masse on Wall Street is not creepy.
RDE2010 on October 19, 2011 at 7:43 AM
I was both amused and angered at the same time. I didn’t realize how much crap Twitter is made of.
RDE2010 on October 19, 2011 at 8:06 AM
If she uses that talent to fluently lecture your clients on how their businesses are raping the earth and oppressing the masses, it may just be true that “no one wants to go for that”.
VelvetElvis on October 19, 2011 at 8:32 AM
You forgot to press “CAPLOCK”.
I suppose that wee bit of humor goes completely over your head too.
VelvetElvis on October 19, 2011 at 8:36 AM
Thx for posting this. That was utter greatness.
jediwebdude on October 19, 2011 at 8:41 AM
OWC are such ignominious people they do not even know what they are protesting. If they did they would know that there is an infiltrator among them that is making them look even more foolish than they already are.
MSGTAS on October 19, 2011 at 9:55 AM
In CA being fluent in Mandarin–assuming you have some other useful skills like not being an idiot–can get you a job post-haste.
I’m guessin’ she’s a moron.
Bob's Kid on October 19, 2011 at 10:09 AM
New poll: Was bifidis a neglected or spoiled child?
I vote spoiled.
shick on October 19, 2011 at 10:18 AM
The singer was reaching one of the occupiers with “Give peace a chance”. Look at the dude on the far right smiling under meditation.
shick on October 19, 2011 at 10:20 AM
All I can say is that that fat chick gave me much joy.
esnap on October 19, 2011 at 10:27 AM
That would be nice. That said, it was sometimes hard to tell what was satire and what was real.
Esthier on October 19, 2011 at 11:00 AM
I begin to suspect that some of these college graduates can’t get or keep jobs because of personal habits, not for lack of opportunities.
RebeccaH on October 19, 2011 at 12:06 PM
Loved it. I think she needs to be my best friend.
Yep. Everything I’ve ever wanted to say to those people…there it is.
Bee on October 19, 2011 at 1:20 PM
er…minus a few of the death wishes. *cough* But, other than that…
Bee on October 19, 2011 at 1:22 PM
Let’s see, we have a cretinous fourth-rate “president’, a slightly-less-cretinous congress, a gaggle of presidential hopefuls who are about one-half step above that, and a desperate need for laughter!
And while it is obvious that you are doing your very best to keep us in stitches, it is pretty obvious that you are working with a dull needle and rotting thread.
Siddhartha Vicious on October 19, 2011 at 7:33 PM
Of course you can, troll — because they’re slapping up against your cheeks. Maybe you should come up for air, though. You’re sounding less coherent than usual.
Or is that your new desperation?
Now, scurry off to the drum circle.
