Former President Clinton Schools Fox News ’Tards

During an interview that aired September 24, 2006 on Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace (replacement for Tony Snow, currently lowering the standards at his new job as White House spokesman) asked former President Clinton why he failed to “do more” during his presidency to put Al Qaeda and bin Laden “out of business” than “provide bin Laden with whores and cash while personally overseeing the planning of 9/11.”

 Clinton, mysteriously, did not react kindly to this line of questioning. Like other far liberal extremists, he wondered why the Bush administration had never even discussed bin Laden prior to 9/11, why President Bush had ignored an August 5, 2001 intelligence warning that bin Laden wanted to “hijack a U.S. aircraft” and “strike within the U.S.”, why the Bush White House demoted counterterrorism official Richard Clarke, the only official, as Clinton said, “who’s worked against terror, from the terrorist incidents under Reagan to the terrorist incidents on 9/11,” why the Bush White House never retaliated for the bombing of the USS Cole, and why Bush refused to commit more troops, as urged by the CIA, to catch bin Laden at Tora Bora in late 2001.

Top 10 Of 77,069 U.S. Terror Targets Identified By The Department Of Homeland Security

WASHINGTON - The Department of Homeland Security recently released a database of 77,069 potential domestic terrorist targets. Why this list was made public now is unclear, but letting the terrorists know we are on to them seems unwise. Here to further endanger American security are the top ten terrorist targets described by DHS as “critical infrastructure.” Note: it would be wise to avoid any unnecessary trips to Indiana, the most dangerous state in the country; it is home to 8,951 national assets at high risk of impending Jerry Bruckheimer-style destruction.

     Not quite making the list: A bait-and-tackle shop, an ice cream parlor, a check-cashing joint, and the Tippecanoe Battlefield Memorial.

Tony Snow: 126,898 U.S. Soldiers Not Kidnapped And Murdered In Iraq This Week

WASHINGTON - In recent months the number of American troops in Iraq has fallen from 138,000 to 126,900. But violence continues across the country. An Iraqi man was recently dragged from home, taken away, executed, and then returned with a shovel to make him appear to be an insurgent. Elsewhere, three prisoners were killed by their captors. In another town, a group of men tore through homes shooting unarmed men, women and children with execution-style precision.

     And that’s just the violence committed by U.S. troops. Suicide bombings, IEDs, and kidnappings by insurgents and criminal gangs continue across Iraq. Reconstruction has stalled. After billions of dollars, utilities are often as bad as they were under Saddam Hussein, if not worse.

To Save Time, New Orleans Levees To Be Completed With Stacks Of Cash

NEW ORLEANS - With the official start of hurricane season on June 1st, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has decided its late July target date for completion of repairs to the still inadequate levees is no longer an option. Instead of continuing to haul in suitable soil, rocks, and other building materials, the $800 million project will finish the repairs with bricks of $100 bills wrapped in plastic.

     “This way everybody wins,” says Maj. Gen. Don Riley, director of civil works for the corps, “the workers, the citizens of New Orleans, and the taxpayer, of course. Turns out it’s actually more economical to build levees out of cash. You wouldn’t think dirt and stones and concrete would be more expensive, but they are. Especially when you add in the cost of labor, transportation, and kickbacks.”

How To Keep Those Damn Kids Out Of Your Yard With Two Shotgun Blasts Or Less

CINCINNATI, OH—“I  just killed a kid,” Charles Martin, 66, told a 911 operator on Sunday, March 12, 2006. For too long the old man had lived in fear of the ferocious fifteen-year-old boy who lived next door.

   “I’ve been being harassed by him and his parents for five years,” Martin continued. “Today just blew it up. Kid’s just been giving me a bunch of shit, making the other kids harass me and my place, tearing things up.”

     “OK, so what'd you do?” asked the operator.

     “I shot him with a goddamn .410 shotgun twice.”

     “You shot him with a shotgun? Where is he?”

     “He’s laying in his yard,” Martin replied.

NBC Buys iVillage For $600 Million After Obfuscator Rejects $601 Million Bid

Last month, NBC Universal bought iVillage, a website devoted to women, for $600 million. The news came just days after The Washington Obfuscator rejected a $601 million offer. Obfuscator chief merger negotiator and executive hedge trimmer Frederick Gundling said, “I guess the f*ckers weren’t bluffing.”

     Major media companies have been on something of a buying spree lately. Last year, Rupert Mudoch’s News Corp. bought MySpace (“More Than A Playground For Pedophiles”) and IGN (“We've Never Heard Of Us Either”). In February 2005, The New York Times Company bought About.com.

     NBC Universal's chief executive Robert C. Wright said he had no idea what iVillage was, but it was an Internet company, and therefore “cool.” He confirmed talks to buy The Washington Obfuscator newspaper, but insisted the offer price was actually closer to “forty dollars.”

Cheney Takes Break From Screwing Country To Hunt Friends For Sport

CORPUS CHRISTI—On Saturday, February 11, Vice President Dick Cheney was hunting quail at one of the largest private properties in Texas, a 50,000-acre ranch owned by Republican icon Anne Armstrong. And then he turned his 28-gauge shotgun on the bright orange vest of Austin lawyer Harry Whittington, blasting the seventy-eight-year-old in the face, neck and chest.

     Whittington, incidentally, is a former member of the Texas Board of Corrections and head of the Texas Public Finance Authority Board. In 1999, he was appointed head of the Texas Funeral Service Commission by then-Governor Bush, a position he still holds. The wounded lawyer was flown to Christus Spohn Memorial Hospital, where he stayed in intensive care, alert and channel-surfing until birdshot lodged near his heart triggered a heart attack on the Tuesday morning after the shooting. Later, his condition was upgraded from stable to Democrat, and one week after the shooting Whittington was discharged from the hospital, pausing just long enough toreallyapologize to the vice president for the shooting. However, the 5-200 pellets of birdshot lodged in his body continued their migration, eventually turning up days later inside the interred body of former Texas Governor John Connelly.

Nation Holds Breath During Latest Bush Vacation

CRAWFORD, TX – A few miles from here President Bush is spending the post-Christmas holiday at his ranch. Exactly what he does there—“reading really really big historical books, clearing brush, and chasing rabbits,” according to the official press releases—doesn’t seem to matter. Highlights of past Bush vacations include Hurricane Katrina and the 9/11 attacks, which occurred during or just after month-long periods of downtime at Crawford.

     “Jesus, what’s next?” asks Kyle Hutchins, 39, of Minneapolis. “Every time that man goes on vacation, thousands of people die. Someone’s got to stop him.”

Original Coca-Cola Polar Bear Dead From Diabetes

ATLANTA – The fourteen-year-old polar bear made famous in the Coca-Cola holiday ads first launched in 1993 has died from complications due to diabetes, a spokesman for the soft drink company confirmed Tuesday. The 1,200-pound bear known as Jack Frost “died peacefully in his sleep at his luxurious, six-by-six enclosure at Coke’s corporate Atlanta headquarters,” and not, as animal rights activists insisted, “in a violent life and death struggle with a dozen stun gun-equipped handlers in a last-ditch bid for freedom after numerous futile and typically bloody escape attempts.”

OBFUSCATOR OPIUM DEN & CAFETORIUM - Looking back at 2005, we recall a year marked by a series of stunning triumphs from the never-better Bush White House. Whether it was timely responses to the Asian tsunami, Hurricane Katrina and the Pakistan earthquake, cutting vacations short to pound out a health care plan for all Americans, or carefully listening to criticism and formulating revolutionary new approaches to the Iraq War, it seemed there was nothing President Bush couldn't do in 2005.

     There was also a runaway bride in there somewhere, but the Obfuscator prides itself on covering only the important issues of the day. Here, then, are the top ten headlines of 2005 in chronological order.
