You wouldn’t think 9/11 is news …

… but despite the country song about Afghanistan Iraq Iran Yemen, some prominent Republicans have forgotten.

So, to help Dana Perino and now Rudy “9/11” Giuliani have a new story to react to, SeriouslyGuys is posting the following news announcement:

Terrorists attacked three important U.S. landmarks with hijacked commercial aircraft: the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Pennsylvania grassland on September 11, 2001 under President George W. Bush and New York City Mayor, Rudolph Giuliani.

Shortly thereafter, anthrax was found in the mail, addressed to the Toms Daschle and Brokaw. This was also called by then-President Bush a terrorist attack.

And in December of that same year, Richard Reid tried to bomb American Airlines Flight 63 with his shoes. He was found guilty of eight counts of terrorism-related charges and declared himself an agent of al-Qaeda in 2003. Bush was reelected to the presidency in 2004 and served an additional four years.

So, try to remember this time. We would’ve used the “Too Soon?” tag, but–based on your memory–apparently it isn’t.

Pakistani Taliban week late with Obama, Nobel jokes

Snug as an oppressed bug in a rug.Man, talk about issuing a fatwa on a dead horse.

The Pakistani Taliban criticized the Norwegian Nobel Committee for giving the Nobel Peace Prize to U.S. President Barack Obama. They unconstructively suggested giving him the “Villain of Peace Award,” which does not exist and–even if it did–could not field nominations until next year.

The Taliban’s peace credentials include supporting and sponsoring terrorism, wrapping women in Snuggies in the desert and religious intolerance.

Other critics of the award have not renounced and denied affiliation with the Taliban at this time.

Representing the angry folks

"And keep your healthcare reform off my lawn!"With a single shout, U.S. Representative Joe Wilson (R-South Carolina) has become the face of what happens when a political party gets too comfortable shouting at passing cars.

Wilson could not contain himself during President Barack Obama’s speech about healthcare reform on Wednesday.

He shouted, “You lie!” after Obama promised the proposed bill would not provide health care to illegal immigrants.

Wilson stated that he “let [his] emotions get the better of [him]” because he disagrees with the President. However, several colleagues have attested that the phrase “illegal immigrant” is his rage trigger, no matter the context.

“Joe once shouted ‘Hot salami tuna roll!’ at me after I joked that E.T. was an illegal alien,” said Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.). “I thought he just really loved that little brown guy.”

Hot Shots! Part 9/11

We live in troubled times my friends. There is an economic crisis at hand, the very real possibility of war at any moment is upon us and no one from the cast of Full House is relevant anymore. We need strong leadership, we need something to galvanize us together as a country, we need Charlie Sheen demanding to speak with President Barack Obama about a 9/11 cover-up?

For those of you who like to stay current with politics and international affairs, 9/11 reaches it’s eighth anniversary tomorrow. And nothing says “let’s continue to move forward” quite like sitcom stars taking up our President’s time by harping on a subject that wasn’t even a part of his administration.

Way to go Charlie! Maybe next time President Obama will demand to speak to you about your Oscar snub for The Arrival.

*For giggles look at the bottom of the article after the political rant as the last sentence details Sheen’s marital status.

Goodnight, sweet high flying jet prince

“If we can give hundreds of billions of dollars away to banks, under two billion for some more high tech fighter craft doesn’t sound so bad, right?”

No.

“Well, how about a jet that doesn’t have that great of a design, but is still functional?”

No.

“Aw.”

That’s essentially what happened at Congress on Tuesday. The majority of the Senate, in a 58-40 vote, sided with President Obama and cut the money for making F-22’s. Which, in all honesty, is a smart and logical move. The F-22 is a bucket wheel excavator when we generally just need to dig a few fence posts. It’s totally awesome to see in person when it’s moving, but it’s neither cost-effective nor necessary.

Sorry Michael Bay-looks like you’re gonna need a new Starscream.

Mr. Harrison doesn’t go to Washington

Perhaps Pittsburgh Steelers’ linebacker James Harrison just doesn’t feel like toeing the line between politics and sports. Or maybe he just doesn’t like President Obama, either way Harrison said he will accept an invite to the White House, when the Steelers don’t win the Super Bowl.

Maybe that interception return affected more than just the oxygen flow to his lungs.

Obama Bin Laden?

Well it was only a matter of time before the Cheney family started taking aim at the Obama administration. Following her dad’s footsteps of taking bad shots at people, Liz Cheney has accused President Obama of siding with the terrorists in his decision to release US prison photos.

You know, of course its totally OK to criticize the release of photos. But confronting her dad, who had these acts committed while he was in a position of power, is completely out of line.
