For the truly hard-core

by DougJarvus Green-Ellis

The fact that I understood all of these Politico jokes says something very sad about my life.

    I didn’t get all the jokes but I am similarly embarrassed.

    I didn’t get many of the inside-reference jokes, but I certainly got the triviality that is a Politico editorial board meeting.

    This animation is not far from the truth. (Boxers! Donors with names that rhyme with swear words! Drudge headline! AP transcription!)

    I’m embarrassed for the whole lot of you :)

    I think if Politico followed this parody, their quality might actually improve.

    Man o man is that funny—and yet so painfully accurate.

    Thanks

    Funny stuff—unfortunately I got most of them. Did you see the article they did earlier today about the Speaker? It was typical…..

    She doesn’t delegate,” said one House Democrat close to the speaker. “It’s her biggest flaw. She has to have her hand in every decision.”

    That means there’s no one else to blame for Democratic setbacks other than Pelosi, and she will have to answer if the party suffers at the polls.

    The word “Politicave” contains several of the same letters as “POLITICO,” and in the same order! I therefore demand that this blog and all other blogs immediately cease and desist the use of any video which refers to the “Politicave” as it clearly infringes on a trademarked name.

    Can someone explain the bathroom break line?

    I love xtranormal! I’m seriously thinking of incorporating it into some of my classes. The laboured text to speech, the gestures that don’t synch up with words, the hawt, massive forearms: it’s totally, naively, gawkily brilliant.

    Check out some of Bitch PhD’s movies. You don’t have to be an academic, etc.

    Translation problem.

    I wrote that!

    (Someone once described the male voice used in the second movie as sounding like a Frenchman with a speech impediment. That’s about right.)

    That was great.

    Oh man, no one can prove that Biden isn’t the Zodiac Killer.

    SAY IT AINT SO JOE

    Thanks for the laugh. The cynical, sad laugh.

    Eric’s comment above is great—perhaps he is one of the originators of the piece?

    Let it all out, DougJ.

    Because that was awesome. Keep ‘em coming…

    I am saddened that this video only garnered 14 comments. I feel so alone in my nerdiness.
