Asshole Fuckface Roundup #61

Ah, Asshole Fuckfacing. It’s a glorious thing to behold, not because it’s beautiful, but because it makes you think you are a better person than you actually are. It’s like looking at dirty, angry hobos. You know you’re better than that, so enjoy. Buddha was all about hating on Asshole Fuckaces and he’s the one who actually started the list. Since that time, the list has been passed on and on. Now it is in my powerful hands and I treat it with the respect and fear it deserves. Each week I scour the news looking for the worst of the worst and then I present them to you, for mocking. This week is no different, so put on your raincoats because this is going to be ugly.

First up, another addition to a long list of presidential Asshole Fuckfacery.

One of the biggest failures of the Bush administration was to drop the ball on North Korea, encouraging the crazy country to create nuclear weapons. Clinton had an agreement in place that would have prevented such an occurrence. Bush blew it off and called North Korea “evil” and the rest was history. North Korea now has at least two nuclear bombs.

Talks have been ongoing between North Korea, China, Japan, Russia, the US and South Korea. There was a big breakthrough in June, when North Korea submitted an account of its nuclear facilities to the other five countries. The expectation was that the US would, in return, remove North Korea from their “terrorism sponsor list.”


The submission by North Korea of a nuclear dossier was seen by the Bush administration as one of its success stories in foreign policy


Let’s see…keep a country on a terrorism list and they keep building nuclear bombs, or take them off the list and they stop. Well, what to do? If you’re an Asshole Fuckface, you do the thing that will keep North Korea in the nuke bomb business.


North Korea says it has stopped disabling its nuclear facilities, accusing the US of reneging on a six-party disarmament deal.

Work was suspended on 14 August, a foreign ministry spokesman told the state news agency KCNA.

"As the US side failed to keep its own side of the agreement, we cannot but take the following measures under the principle of action for action," the foreign ministry spokesman told the KCNA, according to AFP news agency.


Nicely done, Asshole Fuckfaces. Keep up the horrible work; it’s amazing to watch.

Next up, some Swiftboating Asshole Fuckfaces.

Now, we all expect the right-wing Swiftboaters to launch some horrible, horrible ads against Obama. It’s pretty much as expected as rising of the sun or fat, four time divorced, drug addict Rush Limbaugh saying something racist. And the Swiftboaters did so last week, hitting Obama with an ad linking him to William Ayers. Yawn. Unlike Kerry, Obama hit back fast and the result was pretty hilarious. The Swiftboaters aren’t in this Asshole Fuckface Roundup for the ad; they are in the Roundup because they turned into a bunch of crying little bitches.

Besides going after the ad with one of his own, Obama went to court. The Obama campaign claimed the ad was a “violation of federal campaign finance laws” and asked networks to abstain from airing it. A letter was sent to the Department of Justice asking for a criminal investigation of the Swiftboaters. The Swiftboat group in question is a listed as a 501.c, which is a tax-exempt non-profit. That means it can lobby on issues, but is only allowed to engage in an "insubstantial" amount of activity supporting or opposing political candidates.

The Ayers ad clearly seems to violate the law, so Obama went to court. Obama’s lawyer, Bob Bauer wrote the DOJ asking for an investigation...


“…of the American Issues Project; its officers and directors; and its anonymous donors, whoever they may be.”


The Obama campaign also went after stations airing the ad.


The Obama campaign plans to punish the stations that air the ad financially, an Obama aide said, organizing his supporters to target the stations that air it and their advertisers.


That’s called fighting fire with fire. The big bad Swiftboater’s response? Crying.


The American Issues Project has now struck back with a press release complaining of "a campaign of intimidation and legal threats to convince television stations and the federal government to force off the air an ad by the American Issues Project detailing the link between Sen. Obama and remorseless domestic terrorist William Ayers."


Aw, did da liberul not let you shove a broom handle up his ass? Poor little babies.


"They're going all of these routes - through threats, intimidation - to try to thwart the First Amendment here because they don't have an argument on merit," Pinkston said.


What up, irony? How you been?

Aw. Is Obama totally fucking with you? You should totally be able to lie and be horrible cunts without anyone stopping you, right? Sorry, and good luck with your Asshole Fuckfacery this election season. Can’t wait to see how much of your money you spend in court.

Next up, another right wing Asshole Fuckface can’t handle what Obama’s bringing.

But this time, I’m not referring to Barack Obama. Michelle Obama drove a man insane on Monday night. An unidentified man in Pasco, Florida, was watching Michelle Obama’s convention speech, when he couldn’t take it anymore.


The man stood outside his RV, yelling and shooting a gun into the air. When Pasco sheriff's deputies confronted him, he ran inside and wouldn't come out.

That started a six-hour standoff late Monday night between the man, whose name was not released, and authorities.


The police shot round after round of tear gas into the RV, but dude wasn’t coming out. Six ours later, at five am, the Asshole Fuckface finally came out of his RV and gave up.


The cause of his displeasure, according to Doll, was Michelle Obama's speech last night at the Democratic National Convention.


Of course. I mean, he lives in Florida in a trailer and a black woman is speaking about her husband, nominee of the Democratic Party. It’s the white trash apocalypse.

Finally, a little league in Connecticut is overflowing with Asshole Fuckfaces.

New Haven Little League officials want all their kids to grow up in an unrealistic world, in which no one else is better than them, they never get their asses handed to them and all competition is equal.

Jericho Scott is a 10-year-old kid with a 40 mph fastball. He plays in the Youth Baseball League of New Haven and has thrown 5 no-hitters. His team is 8-0. That’s fucking awesome.


Jericho's team was killing the competition when league officials told his coach on Aug. 13 to put somebody else on the mound.


Uh, what? Welcome to not sports. Way to develop a rare talent. You could be the town where the great Jericho Scott came from, instead of the town that drove away the young Jericho Scott.


The pint-sized fireballer played second base the next game on Aug. 16, but when Jericho took the mound last Wednesday, the other team forfeited rather than face his fastball.


Okay, now you just created an entire team of 10-year-old pussies. You know what you do when confronted by an awesome force kids? Give up. That’s a fantastic life lesson. Don’t ever try your best against someone better, just walk away.


Now the league wants to disband Jericho's team - a move that his manager and the other parents oppose. His dad, Leroy Scott, said he's worried about what the controversy is doing to his son. "Everybody is saying it's because of his pitching," he said. "He's thinking it's all his fault."


Oh, good. Maybe he’ll develop a horrible complex at a young age and stop pitching.


Jericho, a Yankees fan who idolizes Alex Rodriguez and dreams of one day playing in the major leagues, said he just feels "sad."

"Me and my teammates can't play baseball anymore," he said.


That’s what happens when Asshole Fuckfaces are in control, Jericho. Maybe you can grow up to be a criminal, instead.

Congrats to all of this week's Asshole Fuckfaces. You will each recieve a FearTheReaper bicycle seat. You may also read more of FearTheReaper's spew on his blog, Stop All Monsters.

Lets see: you misportray someone in a negative light in order to damage their reputation, make them lose a job, and cause them personal stress . . . isn't that libel?

Sorry, swiftboaters, but Obama isn't Kerry. It ain't gonna work this time.

I was PISSED about the little leaguer that could who was forced, basically, to quit the league. In fact, in one report on Yahoo, they were alleging that the source of this little kid's problems was due to the fact that he would not play for one of the more prominent, successful teams in the league, hence becoming a real challenge for that other said team. In response to their being shafted, BY A TEN YEAR OLD, they tried to get the kid not only pulled from a game via a forfeit by another team, but completely kicked out of the league. I completely agree with his parents response and I really hope that we see some justice delivered as this story develops!

Hi, I'm Barack Obama, a lawyer who graduated from Harvard Law School, with the political instincts of a fearless contortionist champion knife-fighter, and I've had to go through more hardship and oppression than you could ever dream of to get where I am today. I know about the law - you're breaking it, and now I'm going to stomp you with it like the big dumb animal that you are and provide you with the health care you need to fix yourself up with afterwards. Go Hope.

I hope Obama DESTROYS the swiftboaters! I hope in the Presidential debates, when asked how he plans to pay for his Health Care system, he responds that he's going to use all the money he gets from the lawsuits against the 501 c groups, their supporters, their contributors, and their families. CRUSH THEM ALL! Scatter the ashes to the wind, and drink deep the sweet nectar of absolute triumph. ARRR!!!

I still can't believe the Korea situation. We had a diplomatic solution. We wanted them to disarm. They were disarming. All we had to do was take them off a highly arbitrary list . . . and we fucked it up.

okay, i hate Bush as much as anyone, but this is god damn moronic. Clinton gave the DPRK food in exchange for promising to stop their nuclear development--a promise that was only discovered to be broken (mainly because Clinton didn't make any attempt to look and see what the fuck Kim was up to) after Clinton left office.

Clinton. fucked. up. in this specific scenario, he may have fucked up even worse than Bush, because at least under Bush the Yongbon reactor was destroyed, whereas Clinton has nothing at all to show for the millions in foreign aid he spent trusting a villain straight out of fucking James Bond.

Ahhh, Bill Clinton. The dude who liked to shove his head in the sand, or take the easiest way out, in the face of international conflict. Umm, I believe it was '96 when Osama bin Laden and his thugs declared Jihad against America...

I can't tell you how nice it is to finally see a Democrat with balls.

And I believe it was Bush who was in office when a security memo titled "Osama bin Laden planning attack using U.S. planes" was released.

Right, but in '96, Osama bin Laden officially declared Jihad on the states.

The Jericho Scott story is disgusting.
If the American Issues Project is dumb enough to register as a 501(c) instead of as a 527, they deserve what they get.

Jericho will be fine.

He'll grow up to learn the same life lessons I wisened from the LL ball diamond.

1. People are shitty, especially when prepubescent boys play sports.

2. Some kids will ALWAYS be 5'6". So you grow out of their league.

3. Fly balls in the blinding sun hitting your forehead will always hurt, especially if you aren't paying attention. Always pay attention.

4. Just because she's hot when she's 14 doesn't mean she'll be hot when shes 18.


5. Most people grow up to be medicore - remembering their little league batting average, high school homecoming game, and what pair of boobs they first whacked off to. Jericho will be fine when he's banking millions of dollars as a star MLB pitcher.

Hmmm. I think my larval baseball experience was a bit strange.

Hope the kid goes straight to the next level.
