Coming Clean

By Larry Johnson on November 20, 2008 at 11:15 PM in Current Affairs

Okay. I admit it. I signed up to get Obama’s emails. Of course, I used a special name:

From: “David Plouffe, BarackObama.com” To: Heywood Jableauxme
Subject: Where we go from here
Date: Nov 18, 2008 4:44 PM
Heywood --

Please take a few minutes and help shape the future of this movement.

Share your campaign experience and your thoughts on the best way to keep supporting our agenda for change.

Give Obama’s team credit for this–they faithfully communicated with Mr. Jableauxme. If you don’t get the joke (admittedly juvenile) then never mind.

  • LandOLincoln

    Not so juvenile–the French spelling is very sophisticated, IMO. ;-)

    • /www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibsP6XN2dIo&eurl trixta

      The requirement for snark should be that it be witty or humorous — and that was pretty funny, Larry, okay juvenile but very funny!

    • DawnellesTIREDoFpolitics

      I agree!! lmao! Too cute by half.

  • sowsear

    Larry, They just like you because you showed signs of speaking another language. That’s a requirement, you know.

  • snosandy

    I just had wine come out my nose reading the name you used.

  • Mar

    Larry,

    I love No Quarter. And I laughed at the name.

    Well done.

    Mar

  • snosandy

    So, Mr. Jableauxme, are you going to share your campaign experience and thoughts with the Obama team?

    • Lorelai

      I signed with Obama’s site wayyyy back during the primaries. And YUP, I sent mine in!

  • Hot Librarian

    Monsiuer Heywood Jableauxme.

    Alors!

  • shadow

    Oh thanks for reminding me. I wanted to sign up too. LOL

  • snosandy

    Is your nickname Woody? Okay, I’m laying off the wine now.

  • hi

    Larry,
    I know this is unrelated to the topic but what do you think about Gerald Celente prediction?
    “Who is this man and why is he harshing Obamalot’s Mellow?”

    • CT girl

      That’s scary stuff! Pray that he’s wrong!

  • Strawberrybitch

    OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG! Thank you Larry. I had a poopy day. We’re studying airspace…and it sucks. Not to mention I’m coming down with the sniffles but I can’t afford to miss a day. Trust me, you don’t really don’t want me out there flying without knowing when Class D airspace suddenly changes to golf or echo. I needed that laugh…the Bombay Sapphire is helping too.

    • MrMike

      Airspace that sucks? Between O-bot ears, isn’t it.

      • Strawberrybitch

        Nah, that would be a black hole (ooooo racist)astropyshics is beyond us plane drivers.

        • Strawberrybitch

          Obviously so is spelling.

          • snosandy

            Just be sure to lay off the Bombay Sapphire when you’re flying!

  • SensibleWomanNOTforBO

    ::wiping stuff from my monitor::

    <> Ohhhhhhhhh, Lordy mercy…hehehe…

  • WildChild

    I will support the BOBO agenda for change by wearing something different…… everyday

    • WildChild

      can you see how easy this is?

    • snosandy

      I promise to change my underwear every day, and hope I don’t forget.

    • Judy L. NC

      LOL, y’all! In this vein, I’m going to change the air in my tires for the Big BO.

      (This article should have come with a “no beverages” disclaimer.)

  • Tricia Spiegel

    LMAO!

  • HARP

    “To change and to change for the better are two different things.”

    • WildChild

      I remember when georgie bush promised to change the tone in Washington, and he did. The tone got really nasty.

      • HARP

        Its like riding on a merry-go-round. It doesn`t matter where you get on….its the same friggin ride.

  • SantaFeK

    Eet ees quite guud. Je prefère that you deed “Jableauxmi” for le spelling, but, mon cher, alors, vous receive une “A” for les laughs.

  • James

    Sorry, I don’t get it. Someone explain to poor me.

    • CT girl

      Hey would ya blow me? That’s an explanation, btw!

      • James

        Oh! LOL

  • jeebus

    Wow you are quite the first-class wit aren’t you.

    Since this is a snarky thread some snark below. Before I get to that: I am sure over at Oborgbot blogger HQ they’ve been celebrating doing bong hits and schrooms, patting themselves on the back for their hollow “victory.” They are imagining how they defeated those of us who dared speak against their Messiah on this and other blogs. I say imagining, because the truth of the matter is our “loss” is no different than their “victory.” My point is, the fix was in. We never had a chance, with all the cheating, illegal cash and media complicity. If we did not have a chance, the Oborgbots are hallucinating if they think they won this election for their Messiah. We’ve been pissing at each other from atop our soapboxes while the outcome was totally fixed from the get-go. The power structure has chosen its next puppet, from the left side of the mold as Bush on the right.

    Hey, this doesn’t mean we don’t try and continue to share our views, but we should put this in perspective. This might help to bring some clarity as we try to ascertain why things are so fucked up here on Terra:

    Comment by Galt’s Pizza Parlor | 2008-11-19 14:02:34

    I think if we realize something everything will begin to make sense: human beings are bipedal primates with nuclear weapon capabilities who forget they are only a stones throw away from being chimpanzees, flinging turds at each other from the trees. :shock:

    I think I can get back into relishing being the observer who mocks. It was not hard to mock that last president, speaking of chimps. :mrgreen:

    So anyway, the infighting on the blog is to be expected. Just remember to put a plastic sheet overhead to protect from the flying turds. ;)

  • Mandelay

    You mad fool! I hope we all don’t go plouffe! :-)

  • andrew191

    Larry, I just read somewhere that in the spirit of “shaping the future of this ‘movement’”, Obama has retained as an adviser an obscure economist named Philip Uranus to help him on tax policy. When asked about the promised generous tax cuts, Mr. Uranus replied “You’ll get it in the end”. Developing.

    • socalannie

      ROFLMAO!

    • http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

      OMG High-Larious Andrew 191!

    • andrew191

      Newsflash; The apointment of Philip Uranus was retracted upon discovery that he was a former member of the controversial “Constipation Party”. Still developing.

      • Idiocracy08

        And he’s like Biden…diarrhea of the mouth?

    • andrew191

      In a recent statement, Ben Dover, attorney for Mr. Uranus, defended his client by explaining that his connection with the Constipation Party was of a purely professional nature. He said, “As an economist and CPA, members of the C. party would often rely on him to ‘Work out the problem with a pencil’”. As to why Mr. Uranus was not more forthcoming with this revalation his attorney stated “I’m sure that Philip believed it was such a non-issue that he was simply being banaly retentive.” Devolving

    • andrew191

      Dateline D.C.; In a freakish suicide, Philip Uranus has plunged himself along with his pet Labrador Scratchy, into a Fort Marcy Park outhouse. They’re now interred together. As of yet no memorial is planned.

    Hey Galt-

    “We never had a chance, with all the cheating, illegal cash and media complicity.”

    I wondered back in 2004 if that wasn’t the ‘deal’ then. For me it was a ‘strap on that tin foil hat’ moment. I thought then, if the dems would take it in the following cycle with ease, then indeed the fix was in. Voting had/would have become a simple marketing issue. Not even real, just the pretext for the populace that voting was happening.

    I doubted my own paranoia when I saw HRC and others spend themselves into debt. But now? When debt and losses, are a mere issue of how to negotiate, or CHANGE, our fiscal structure? I am not pretending to know jack squat. That said, WTF are these so called capitalists doing (and I mean ALL of them)!!! I am creeped out.

    • Galt’s Pizza Parlor & Cat Herding Supplies

      I’ll put it to you this way: The fix is in on most things we think we might sway one way or the other. Occasionally, we do squeak by and defeat the “fixers.” So we still have to keep trying. You would think after the last disastrous president “they” would have learned their lesson and at least picked someone competent and experienced. Apparently they subscribe to the axiom of history repeating itself.

      • anon

        But don’t you think the “fixers” are getting exactly what they want? I kinda think so…Obama is much more a Bush in terms of executive power and unlimited gov. neo-con/neo-lib; the only diff is what anymore?

        Neither show any care for fiscal responsibility, both steeped in ideals of executive power and both seem to have marketing/press control. Both seem to have, and one has courted and benefited, wealthy private interests and nations.

        When all reported polls (for the last decade or so) for a presidential election show neck-and-neck horse-race. I’m skeptical, as it seems are you about the polls, votes, outcomes.

        What say you, good man Galt!

        • Galt’s Pizza Parlor & Cat Herding Supplies

          To be clear, they are getting what they want, but they don’t have the brains to make even a good choice. You know, those guys like Nixon, who were crooks, but were at least competent ones and sort of kept things together, except for that one small boo-boo at the Watergate. ;)

          • anon

            Wow, do you really think its that retarded at that high a level? I’m not disrespecting you at all. But do you really think its that mundane and well… retarded?

            • Galt’s Pizza Parlor & Cat Herding Supplies

              No offense taken in any of your remarks. Yes, I think people in high places can be total dummkopfs/blockheads.

              • anon

                Little me in not so much of an Ivory Tower says something along the lines of BITE ME! I thoroughly hate this magnificent bullshit! I’m first generation here and …is this what we’re coming to?

                What my parents FLED from (WWII Soviet Occupation of Estonia). Flipping Bite Me! If I’m so off the mark, please show me how. I was born and grew up here in the USA safe from the tactics utilized by the KGB. I’m getting real nervous given what I know from my parents and what’s happening now.

                • Galt’s Pizza Parlor & Cat Herding Supplies

                  We’ll see what happens. The way this campaign has been played out, I understand everyone’s anxiety. But I think we will survive this latest installed idiot, just like the last one, Bush. So take a breather and regroup?

                • Galt’s Pizza Parlor & Cat Herding Supplies

                  We will survive this latest installed idiot like we did the last.

                  I’m hosting a visiting scholar this semester who is Russian and she is quite appalled at the propaganda for the ONE and at his shenanigans during the primaries, especially. She keeps gasping, “That’s just like Russia!”

  • Amalia

    Larry, you are the best!!!

  • socalannie

    Larry, that is hysterical. So, did you share your campaign experiences with them? Like tell them you own NoQuarter, the wild wild west of political blogs?

    Love that name! I’m still laughing! Thanks!

  • OxyCon

    Didn’t Heywood Jableauxme donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to Obama’s campaign using stolen credit cards? And wasn’t he registered to vote for Obama another hundred times in all of the swing states?

  • http://www.WriteHillaryIn.com tamerlane

    I still get emails from the DNC, MoveOn, et al., addressed to “Ima Puma”.

    • socalannie

      Love it!

      • /www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibsP6XN2dIo&eurl trixta

        I read somewhere that someone contributed money to the Obama campaign under the name of “Fuck You.” This contributor received subsequent requests for more money by being addressed as “Dear Fuck.” (I’m serious!)

    • rolling_thunder

      :lol:

  • Idiocracy08

    Larry, be serious. Do you really think that Obama would take a name like that off his mailing list? I’m surprised his reply wasn’t “I sure will!” :)

  • noproblama

    Didn’t he play for the Saints?

  • karen for Clinton for PRESIDENT not SoS

    Larry, you should have asked for that “favor” BEFORE Hillary dropped out. He might have taken the bait.

    As a sacrifice for our country you would have been awarded the first evah “Purple(Lips)Heart” and Sinclair’s gratitude for backing his story up.

  • fif

    Mr. Jableauxme better have deep pockets, because they are going to be hitting him up for donations constantly.

  • nancy sabet

    Great name Larry. Please just make sure you don’t go too far. I hate to see you to become too comfortable with his site. I am not going to even look at his site. But I understand you are in totally different situation.

  • “Why’d he?”

    I saw the title to your post and I thought you were going to divulge your sources for the ‘whitey tape’.

    Nothing but more disappointment from Larry Johnson.

  • Floyd

    Barack’s team has been signed up to bloggers right and left (not!) for two years. Are you just now trying this?

  • Kerry Reid

    WHERE IS MICHELLE’s “WHITEY” TAPE!?!?!?!?\

    HELP US, OBI-WAN FLOWBEE! YOU’RE OUR ONLY HOPE!!!!
