Asshole Fuckface Roundup #18

SATURDAY OCTOBER 27 2007 9:00 AM

TAGS: FEMA, California Fires,



You lucky sons of bitches. It’s Saturday, the day our Lord Jesus Christ came down from the mountain in his silk robe and fuzzy slippers and said, “Let there be an Asshole Fuckface Roundup.” Then he pointed at Luke and burped. True story. Now, here we are, three or four hundred years later and I am the vessel of Jesus, providing you with your weekly dose of the Asshole Fuckface Roundup. I pour over the news all week to find the biggest Asshole Fuckfaces out there and I deliver them on a platter, just as Jesus would have wanted. So, put on your favorite rubber apron, it’s going to get messy.

We’re going to start in California, where fire was invented and that made some Asshole Fuckfaces do bad things.

FEMA. Ordinarily I could just stop there, but today I’m going to go on. Apparently, FEMA has figured out where they went wrong during the Hurricane Katrina fiasco: Media control.

On Tuesday, deputy administrator Harvey Johnson held a news briefing about all the fine work FEMA was doing in California. FEMA told reporters about the briefing a full 15 minutes before it started and gave them an 800 number to call. Of course, that 800 number was a “listen only” line, so they were not allowed to ask questions.

Fuck, did it go smooth. Johnson gave an overview of what was going on and then he took a few questions. He responded to each question eloquently. It seemed like a good time was being had by all.


He was apparently quite familiar with the reporters -- in one case, he appears to say "Mike" and points to a reporter -- and was asked an oddly in-house question about "what it means to have an emergency declaration as opposed to a major disaster declaration" signed by the president. He once again explained smoothly.

FEMA press secretary Aaron Walker interrupted at one point to caution he'd allow just "two more questions." Later, he called for a "last question."

"Are you happy with FEMA's response so far?" a reporter asked. Another asked about "lessons learned from Katrina."

"I'm very happy with FEMA's response so far," Johnson said, hailing "a very smoothly, very efficiently performing team."


Nicely done. But it seemed a bit odd to the reporters listening on the line. Why all the easy and oddly familiar questions? Why was the media letting Johnson ramble on forever about how great FEMA was responding? Why was everyone being so nice? Oh, because there were no reporters there. Turns out the “briefing” was all FEMA employees, playing “press conference.” There was not one reporter in the entire place. Yay, America!

It looked good on TV, though. Fox News, MSNBC and other news channels carried it live. Now FEMA is apologizing to anyone who will listen, because they know they’ve done something bad if people tell them. That's what happens if you don't have a soul.

And what’s a disaster without President Bush acting like a dick? At his press conference he took a swipe at the Governor of Louisiana, while hailing the leadership of Arnold.


There is no hill he’s not willing to charge, no problem he’s not willing to solve,” Bush said of the California governor. “It makes a significant difference when you have somebody in the statehouse willing to take the lead.”


Oh, snap. And who wasn’t willing to lead, huh? The Democratic governor of Louisiana, maybe? Bush is a fucking child. Excuse me, Asshole Fuckface child. A couple thousand people lost their homes, several dead and he’s taking swipes at a Democrat in a state where he was greatly responsible for a horrible response…two fucking years ago.

And there were even more Asshole Fuckfaces showing their true colors during the fires.

A couple returned from their honeymoon just two hours before their home burned down. They rushed in and grabbed what they could, but they did not have much time. The next day, they called AT&T to tell them their house burned down and they needed to cancel their service.



That is some awesome customer service. Certainly wouldn’t want to give anyone who lost their home a break, like knocking the price down a bit. Nope. AT&T is the worst company in the world, Asshole Fuckfaces of the highest caliber. Do you hear me, Steve Jobs?

And why stop there with the Asshole Fuckfaces who were total dicks during the crisis?

How about Vice President Dick Asshole Fuckface? The President and his cabinet were being briefed on the California fires but poor Dick was apparently not all that interested.



I’m sure if he had heard Fox News say that al Qaeda was behind the fires, he would have been able to stay awake. But on a more positive note, maybe he is getting closer to death.

Okay, enough with the fires, there are many more Asshole Fuckfaces running around.

Like Pennsylvania, where the Department of State has decided not to publicize their list of polling places for elections. Why? The Goddamn terrorists, that’s why! Everyone knows terrorists want to blow up polling places. They are target number one, especially if you are retarded.


The Department of State was influenced by the terrorist bombings that struck just days before Spain's national elections in 2004, spokeswoman Leslie Amoros said.


Oh, right. The bombings in Spain, that went off and killed many people in…train stations. That is where people vote in Spain, I guess.


Critics say concealing the compiled list runs afoul of the state's open records law and makes coordinating statewide voter-mobilization strategies more difficult. A big part of (mobilizing voters) is keeping track of where polling places are, or when they change.


What a surprise. Nicely done, Pennsylvania, you are a giant Asshole Fuckface. But, I guess whatever it takes to make it difficult for people to find where they should vote. Democracy in action!

It is always great to end the Asshole Fuckface Roundup with a guy who pees on dying people.

I take you to England: Home of awful people. Take Anthony Anderson, he’s a former soldier and is also a member of the Asshole Fuckface hall of fame. Anthony received the honor for his actions back in July.

He was celebrating his birthday in Hartlepool with some friends, when they stumbled across 50-year-old Christine Lakinski. She was lying in the street, after falling and hitting her head while walking home. Christine also had physical and learning disabilities. So, what to do? If you’re a normal human being, you call an ambulance. But, if you’re an Asshole Fuckface, you do something entirely different.


Prosecutors said Anderson kicked Lakinski on the foot, poured a bowl of water over her and then urinated on her as a friend filmed the assault on a mobile phone. He also sprayed her with shaving foam in the attack which lasted half an hour.


Make that at least two Asshole Fuckfaces, because one friend was filming and enjoying the show.


One of the group shouted, "This is YouTube material" during the attack.


Ah, to be young again, roaming the streets, shitting and peeing on dying people. Those were the days.

Anderson and his friends went on their way, but did manage to call an ambulance twenty minutes later. It’s called “Asshole Fuckface remorse” and it commonly only strikes 20 minutes after you have done something horrible.

Anderson was sentenced to three years in the big house this week. Lakinski died of pancreatic failure in the street that night.

Congrats to all of this week’s Asshole Fuckfaces. You are a fine group of horrible people and will each receive a FearTheReaper travel alarm clock!

Give us all a break with this puking propaganda and just report news. That is what reporters are supposed to do and have forgotten how to do. Now leave the editorialism out of it and just report it for once.


He's a columnist. It's called "Asshole Fuckface Roundup". How do you expect it to be presented?

Just how stupid are you, really?



Wow, looks like I hit a nerve. Sorry, didn't mean to us my freedom of speech, or is that another thing that is not allowed to be used against any liberal rhetoric?

And by the way real smart of you to begin calling names.

Liberal rhetoric? How about conservative rhetoric?
FTR wrote an article commenting on FEMA lying to the public, AT&T being scummy, Dick Cheney falling asleep in a meeting about, and a man who pisesd on a dying woman.

How do you respond? By calling him Godless, and invoking the name of CNN. Neither religion nor CNN were in anyway part of his article or argument, yet for some reason you brought them up to "prove your point".

Then people disagree with you, and you spew the usual rhetoric of "stop supressing my right to freespeech!"

the "nerve you hit" was in fact only that you claimed, for some reason, that he was a journalist. This is not supposed to be investigative journalism, it is commentary. But that's already been said multiple times.

Oh thank God, or maybe I shouldn't say God on any of you articles, because you probably want him taken off of all money and out of school & out of the pledge.



jesus christ! you make it sound like god wrote his own name on the money, was the head nun of your school, and wrote the fucking pledge of allegiance. None of those things originally had god plastered all over them, so shut the fuck up and quit shoving god down our collective throat!



Wow. Was that really necessary? I just cannot understand why people cannot disagree with one another--even vehemently--without acting like potty-mouthed 12-year olds.

Whatever.

whatever



No, I think it really was. He's not actually trying to discuss, he's just blabbering the usual rhetoric and bullshit. It's standard operating procedure for characters like this.

I think everyone who responds like this is just sick of hearing the same lame arguments and bullshit reasoning. There's nothing new about what's being discussed.

If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion, or force citizens to confess by word or act.

I heart you. biggrin

Personally, I do believe in God, but I don't really believe in churches and religion. Well, I know churces and religion exist - I just don't think they're a very good idea.

And if you think about it, and read Matthew 21:12 (wasn't that the name of a Rush album??! eeek ) - anyway, if you think about the it, the operative words here being if. you (ubiquitous). think. - if you do that thinking thing: isn't having God on money just a wee bit ironic?? I would think that true Bible-thumping crispies would want God OFF of the money!! eeek

Of course, one day this will occur to them and they will say they were just practicing "reverse psychology" and that this was obviously what all good God-fearing white straight men wanted in the first place Duh.

(I hope that last bit was sufficiently lacking in punctuation... tongue )



Edited to add: I had to look up the Bible ref. I am always amazed by people who are atheist or agnostic who seem to be able to recall everything from 500 different Bibles, chapter and verse. eeek

Probably because a lot of us atheists spent our childhood years in brainwashing centers, uh, I mean, Catholic Schools.
Unfortunately for them, I grew a brain.

Not that it'll make any difference, I'm sure, but, conservative, you're confused about the concept of free speech. The constitutional right to free speech specifically and solely proscribes the government from restricting or controlling your speech, and even that, only to a point. Nobody in this thread is the government. And for that matter, none of us are trying to restrict your speech. We just think you're stupid.

We're not all bad.

We do have an issue with absolute cunts in sportswear on our streets though. This properly disgusted me when I saw it on the news a few days ago.



Got a link for that? I'd love to see it. Also, could you tell my why when Brits come to our lovely Florida beaches, they have to proudly display their junk by wearing Speedos, even though NO ONE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY EVER wears them, except for competitive swimming? Please, the last thing I want to see at the beach is Casper the fucking ghost and his grape-smuggling trick. smile



You sure they're not German of French? I thought they had the worldwide monopoly on speedo wearing.

I live in York and it seems that every American tourist wears white socks, trainers and shorts... Is this standard holiday uniform or something?
