"Who are these children?" NRCC head Tom Reynolds surrounds himself with kids in order to not be asked awkward questions about the Foley thing. What a clever trick!

  • despicably brilliant.
  • I guess someone finally thought of the children.
  • Human shields at a press conference? What a prick.
  • Monkeyfilter: Human shields at a press conference.
  • oooOOoo! *snaps fingers in grokage*
  • Gutless wonder.
  • WASHINGTON, 5 OCTOBER: A stunned press gallery were prevented from asking Whitehouse Spokesperson Tony Snow questions about Iraq after he emerged for today's Press Briefing with a small Iraqi Child strapped to his face. "It would be highly inappropriate to discuss the unfounded rumours of sectarian violence in Iraq in front of this small Iraqi child," Snow claimed, his voice slightly muffled by the child in question. Snow's face-strapping antics are clearly a continuation of the Republican Party's new public affairs policy. The new communications strategy was unveiled last week, when President Bush gave a press conference on the new Military Commissions Act while cuddling the freshly-disinterred corpse of constitutional founding father James Madison. The President dismissed questions about the Act's limitation of the right to habeas corpus on the grounds that any such discussion "would be disrespectifying to Jim's own corpus, here". Vice-President Dick Cheney refused to comment on the new approach as he had a 9-11 widow glued to his chin. "It would be an inappropriate discussion in front of poor Mabel from New Jersey, here," he said, thoughtfully stroking the grieving middle-aged woman. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was also unable to comment on the new communications strategy as she had two small Israeli children taped over her ears. "As I've just told Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, I can't hear your question," she told reporters.

  • "I’ve known them and I’ve known their children as they were born." What, was he in the delivery room?
  • Known them Biblically? I thought that was the whole problem...
  • quid kid, brilliant! That should be front page at Daily Kos.
  • quid kid, brilliant! That should be front page at Daily Kos. Or the onion. Or on the daily show. It's that good.
  • Or the Yeti. Sorry, quid. Good effort, though.
  • Sorry, quid. Good effort, though. Quid was way ahead of them. Just because they know how to "work" the "Internet", or "click" or whatever, doesn't make it better or "first". Quid's Poached Broadside avec Sauce Piquant has hints of blackberry and a luscious malty odor those other sites could never achieve without advanced weaponry or some really nasty grunting noises.
  • But dude's got photoshop! Images trump those word-things when we're dealing with my jeneration of elliterites.
  • Quid was way ahead of them. I second Senator Pete's motion. It is obvious that Señor Quid took mere seconds to create his article, whereas those on the Broken Abominable Snowman site must have required hours. The choice for world dictator is obvious.
  • jeneration of elliterites Heh. Elliterites. I'm totally stealing that.
  • Moses knew how to handle them Elliterites.
  • WHAT?! Two people thought of the exact same joke?! Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking? Mudwrestling match.
  • *thinks of mudwrestling match involving quid* *faints*
  • "Mr. Foley - have you had sex with any of those children?"
  • I thought Hastert was the wrestler.
  • Quiddy, I love you.
