Asshole Fuckface Roundup #98

Welcome to the Asshole Fuckface Roundup. We do this shit here weekly. We have to. If we didn’t, the world’s Asshole Fuckfaces would be sauntering about without a care in the world. So, here we are, pointing out all the Rafa Benitez’s and Michele Bachmann’s of the world for you to mock and hate. This week has been so chalk full o’ Fuckfaces it was hard to pick four. But I did. And I now present them to you.

First up, some good old GOP Southern Asshole Fuckfacery.

Going into politics is sometimes hard because you are quickly forced to realize that most people don’t enjoy your racist or anti-Semitic language. Take Arkansas state senator Kim Hendren who, besides having the same first name as one of the girls on The Facts of Life, also was bitten by the stereotypical Southern idiot bug.

“At the meeting I was attempting to explain that unlike Sen. Schumer, I believe in traditional values, like we used to see on ‘The Andy Griffith Show.’ I made the mistake of referring to Sen. Schumer as ‘that Jew’ and I should not have put it that way as this took away from what I was trying to say.”



Totally. What he was trying to say is that even the evil Jew has moral standards. Or, no, wait; maybe he was just trying to remember his name.

A Republican state senator from Gravette, Hendren said he told the Pulaski County Republican Central Committee that he disagreed with remarks that Schumer recently made about traditional values and foreign policy. He said he couldn't remember Schumer's name and referred to him as being a Jew or Jewish.



RIght. Could either have been “Jew” or “Jewish.” Not really sure, but it was totally relevant to the discussion of traditional values and foreign policy.

Hendren said he isn't anti-Semitic, "never has been," and sometimes agrees with U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, who is Jewish.



I understand. Sometimes I call them “negroes,” but it’s not derogatory because I often agree with Charles Barkley.

Next up, some hall of fame Asshole Fuckfaces are worse than imagined.

Donny Rumsfeld is one of the all time great Asshole Fuckfaces. His epic Iraq War failure is one of the great military blunders of all time. Thankfully, his acts of horror continue to be revealed, so that we may continue to throw up in buckets. This week GQ published an article that is, simply astounding.

Let’s start with the cover sheets Rummy used for the intelligence updates he gave to Bush. Each cover sheet included a nice photo of American soldiers or Saddam Hussein and a wonderful biblical quote. That way, Bush would continue to think he was fighting a holy war.

“Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.” [The quote appears over an image of a tank at sunrise]

“Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.” [The quote appears over an image of a soldier in Baghdad]

“It is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men.” [The quote appears over an image of Saddam Hussein]

“Open the gates that the righteous nation may enter, The nation that keeps faith.” [The quote appears over an image of tanks entering an Iraqi city]



I’m surprise they didn’t do some Crusade re-enactments on the back lawn. Sadly, that little tidbit of horror was not the worst information revealed in the article. Rummy also helped to kill Americans with his response to Katrina.

The next day, three days after landfall, word of disorder in New Orleans had reached a fever pitch. According to sources familiar with the conversation, DHS secretary Michael Chertoff called Rumsfeld that morning and said, "You're going to need several thousand troops."

"Well, I disagree," said the SecDef. "And I'm going to tell the president we don't need any more than the National Guard."



Good call. Also, Shepard Smith is crying like a baby on Fox because of all the horror he's looking at.

Having only recently come to grips with the roiling disaster, Bush convened a meeting in the Situation Room on Friday morning. According to several who were present, the president was agitated. Turning to the man seated at his immediate left, Bush barked, "Rumsfeld, what the hell is going on there? Are you watching what's on television? Is that the United States of America or some Third World nation I'm watching? What the hell are you doing?"

Rumsfeld replied by trotting out the ongoing National Guard deployments and suggesting that sending active-duty troops would create "unity of command" issues.



Um. Maybe you haven’t noticed Mr. President, but a lot of those people are black. You know what I’m saying, right?

Rumsfeld held off on sending troops for 7 days. Anything happen over those seven days? Can anyone recall anything?

Next up, some awesome Asshole Fuckface parenting.

Sometimes, as a parent, you face a super hard choice between your beliefs and letting your young son live. Just ask Colleen Hauser of Minnesota. She believes in the natural healing methods of an American Indian religious group called the Nemenhah Band. Unfortunately, her 13-year-old son came down with Hodgkins lymphoma –- a curable form of cancer. By “curable” I mean with chemo and radiation, not this:

Colleen Hauser said she had been treating the boy's cancer instead with herbal supplements, vitamins, ionized water and other natural alternatives — a regimen based mostly on information she found on the Internet.



I don’t know how you could go wrong by treating cancer with info from the Internet. Hell, you idiots here at SuicideGirls have probably cured many different types of cancer on the message boards. Unfortunately, the law stepped in and last week, a judge ruled that Hauser was neglecting her son. She took him to one chemo treatment, and then bailed.

A courtroom clash between medicine and faith took a criminal turn, with police around the country on the lookout Wednesday for a Minnesota mother who fled with her cancer-stricken 13-year-old son rather than consent to chemotherapy.



On the run with a boy who has cancer! She’s like Dillinger, except instead of a gun, she has a young boy – with cancer. Police have several leads and she appears to be an idiot, so by the time this is posted, I expect her to be caught.

And finally, check out this criminal Asshole Fuckface.



Bragging and justifying war crimes is sort of sickening. But even worse, the fact that Obama appears to have no problem allowing this walking piece of shit to cross the country, bragging about his war crimes for all to hear, is beyond the pale. According to Obama and his spokesman Gibbs, we need to look towards the future, not the past, regardless of how blatant and disturbing the war crime. That’s an impressive stance to take, Mr. Constitutional lawyer and Asshole Fuckface. Why not just allow police to waterboard? How about we set up a waterboarding room in every FBI office? Let’s go.

At this point, Cheney is taunting and daring Obama and/or Congress to do something. Don't hold your breath.

Henry Kissinger is not in jail for ordering a carpet bombing campaign that killed thousands of yellow people. Don't act so shocked that Cheney is not behind bars for orchestrating a war that has killed hundreds of thousands of brown people in a far off land of sand.

Despite having a black president, America is one of the most racist countries in the world. I can't wait to be back in Canada. At least they don't kill you because of your skin colour; they only follow you around the department stores and ignore you when you try hail a cab.

Yet another reason Bush should've canned Rumsfeld's sorry ass long before he actually did.
I sometimes wonder how different the last eight years would've been if Bush's VP had been the guy he wanted from the start (Tom Ridge) or the one Cheney's search team recommended (John Danforth). But that's kinda pointless, I guess.
And Colleen Hauser is a nutjob.

Supposedly, the Pelosi v. CIA debacle is bringing more people around to the idea of investigating the previous administration. I think she will just resign or be replaced before that happens, as many more Congressmen would be implicated. As for our beloved President, does it give you hope that he has sided with Bush on almost everything?

Well it was a bit refreshing actually. for the first time in 4 months getting addressed by someone who had been involved in the white house issuing a statement and treating the public like adults, as opposed to being the school marm talking to children. ARRR!!!

What i don't get is why people with "faith" so often have "faith" in the crap treatments. The ones that really don't do much at all, if anything. Why not have faith in the good shit?

"I'm treating my son's cancer with herbs and water and flowers and cat shit, because God will help us and He will heal my son."

No. God thinks you're an idiot. He thinks you should try chemo.

This administration is more entertaining than the previous for one reason: The previous administration was so horrible and every problem in the world is they're fault. So guess what I'll do? I'll take some of the worst policies they had, rename them and continue to practice them! Give a crackhead a million dollars and guess what it'll be spent on? I'm just wondering how much worse it will be in say 10 years?

I do love Joe Biden.

Joe Biden let slip the "undisclosed location" where Dick Cheney hid out in the hours after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 to his tablemates during the Gridiron dinner earlier this year. According to Newsweek's Eleanor Clift:

The veep related the story to his head-table dinner mates when he filled in for President Obama at the Gridiron Club earlier this year. He said the young naval officer giving him a tour of the [vice-presidential residence at the Naval Observatory] showed him the hideaway, which is behind a massive steel door secured by an elaborate lock with a narrow connecting hallway lined with shelves filled with communications equipment. The officer explained that when Cheney was in lock down, this was where his most trusted aides were stationed, an image that Biden conveyed in a way that suggested we shouldn’t be surprised that the policies that emerged were off the wall.

They pump poison into your bloodstream through a port in a hole your chest. Chemo is extremely painful, often ineffective, expensive, and takes a very long time.

While I think this woman is clearly misinformed and maybe crazy, chemo is no walk in the park and totally understand people who make an informed decision not to undergo it.

of course, the person who would be receiving the chemotherapy isn't the one making the decision, which gets into the question of parents' rights. which is really what this is about anyway.

If the child is found competent. meaning he understands the risks and possible benifits of the treatment then it is his decision to make. not his mother's.

Edit: apparently this is not true in america. You are free to kill your children.
