Osama Bin Laden's Death: My Top 10 Observer-ations

Pin It

10. When I first heard President Obama was making an emergency announcement at 9:30 on a Sunday night, my first thought was ... asteroid. Then aliens. Then NFL lockout. Then Osama Bin Laden. And somewhere along the process I figured it was just a ploy to interrupt Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice.

9. Shame on CNN's Wolf Blitzer. I generally trust him, but last night he kept teasing us with, "I have a gut feeling as to what this announcement is, but I'm not going to share it yet." I know who is going to win Mavs-Lakers, but I'm not going to tell you until after the series is over.

8. The bearded, bastard boogie man has been vanquished. As in Braveheart, should Bin Laden's body be torn into four pieces, its parts flown on flagpoles in four corners of our country as a warning to future terror tyrants?

7. Cowboys at Jets season opener -- Sept. 11 in New York -- just got a little more meaningful.

6. Sucks for George Dubya Bush. I remember when he brazenly promised to "smoke him out of his holes" and capture Bin Laden "dead or alive." Sorry, but he didn't finish the job. (Wonder if he has that "Mission Accomplished" banner handy?) Maybe I'm mistaken, but I think Obama got re-elected last night.

5. Don't tell me, the bored birthers are already demanding to see Bin Laden's "long-form" death certificate? And is it true that Dallas mayor Dwaine Caraway will posthumously give him the key to the city?

4. Navy SEALs = Heroes. And badasses.

3. This has to be at the top of the list of happiest deaths of our lifetime, right? Right up there with Timothy McVeigh, smoking on airplanes, the CueCat, the XFL and texting while driving.

2. Wished we would've gotten this news 10 days after 9/11 instead of 10 years, but better late than never.

1. Allow me to translate Obama's speech: "Don't fuck with us." I know it sounds cheesy and shallow, but I'm seriously proud to be an American this morning. Closure can be painful, but undeniably and ultimately therapeutic.

The Ford Mustang is the corner stone of American car history. It is one of the best muscle cars and it is still in production. Ford Motor Company rolled out the Mustang on 17th April 1964. The car has a hulky look with its long hood and athletic body. The stance of the car not only grabbed the attention of the viewers but also captured the imagination of the people. The car came in two body styles, namely, coupe and roadster. During those early days the car was fitted with a 2.8-litre OHV straight six cylinder engine that could churn out 101 bhp. But later, it was powered by a 4.7-litre V8 engine that could derive a power of 217 bhp. The galloping horse logo was specially crafted for the Mustang.
The period starting from 1964 to 1972 is termed as the ‘muscle car’ era. This period marks an important age in the automotive history. This age has set trend for the new generation sports cars. The phrase ‘muscle car’ is defines a particular variety of high performance car sold during that time. The muscle cars were typical American cars that delivered thrilling driving performance with their superlative speed.
george d bush started this. proud to be an american and a vet. keep it real barack is not a vet never served. do not make him a hero. Army, marines, air force, and the navy, Especially the Seals, they deserve the respect, and the applause. Some one gave the word but men and women listened and put the period behind the word. thanks to them. god love them. lisa
Dude... I bet he was gone years ago! Tell me when have we seen any up to date photos of Osama??? All I see are the same Pre-911 photos of him shooting that same rifle, giving that same stupid intv., walking down that same hillside, talking to one of his towel-headed buddies.... oh yes, the garble audio that was given to us about a few years ago... come on man, wake up and smell the Bullshit. This is Propaganda at its best! And its not over yet! This crap has just begun and will run up and down until election day. The White House will cook the Bullshit, the Media will serve the Bullshit and the US public will eat the Bullshit with a plastic spoon! Found, shot, DNA'd, buried at see with in a matter of hours???
Richie Whitt - You are an IDIOT! This piece was stupid and not one bit funny! You are a sheep like most of the US public! We have not seen any real proof other than what the Prez has told us. Oh yes, the great animation NBC has created. WOW, that was real sweet and believable. Smells like BS to me. Re-elected... Pa Lease. Put down the Kool AId bro. America will forget by Nov 2012. You cannot trust our Government, no matter who is standing behind the podium.
Handouts to illegals = free medical, free education, police & fire protection - local governments are going broke. All so they can live 4 people in a 1 bedroom apt (they were in the same building as me).. By the way, article in DMN 2 weeks ago about an SMU athelete who was abducted, raped, and robbed - 3 illegals (hard working?) were convicted and sentenced. Evidence of other crimes (robberies, other rapes) were found. Sorry - people who don't want the USAturning into a 3rd world country like Mexico are NOT bigots.
newy scruggs had double the ratings of the am and pm drive shows. his ratings flew thru the roof as soon as he ditched richard whitt. in fact, he had more #s than those 2 abortions combined. newy's show was avg @ best, but by far the best thing on that failure of a sports station. i like the fact that he couldve taken shots on air at his soon-to-be former station, but instead chose to aim his feeble gun @ ben & skin.
there is no doubt that richie will soon join al qaeda in hopes to gain ratings. but just like the westboro baptist church, al qaeda has a height requirement. sucks for you, dick whitt. but hey, at least you get to rassle armen
Enough with political crap Richie's brother.
with that being said: let's eliminate the following- -school sports -rational health care -pothole fixin' in Dallas ........and a beavy of other IMPORTANT services. What do handouts have to do with illegal im's....are you retarded? AND, do you think we are dumb enough to think they are going back to the country of origin-NO. And, I'm a bigot because the US has done nothing to seal the borders, and I'm pissed? Sir I am a Patriot, not a bigot.
Thank you! Please take my Hunter S. Thompson prose as a guide for all the ages. All extoll the greatness of HST......for whom else has had his ashes shot from a cannon? Kergie out! LEGEND. ps-Please read the intro to Fear and Loathing in LV: We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert
I know, we need some of that eastern style/canada hockey....the league went to shit once we let the WHA participate. Don't believe me, Gordy Howe scored like 65 goals when he was 60. I think we ought to take the NHL back, and eliminate the western conference. Original 6 baby. A man's sport. ps-and let's eliminate all Gretz's records, anyone that AVOIDed contact is not a hockey player.
I have something ya'll may want to see; it is the enduring memory of my childhood (other than Bobby Orr, the greatest sports hero EVER!)...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-85qLSvztnQ let's see thats Park, O'reilly, and Stan Jonathon all kicking butt, then JOHN WENSINK challenging the WHOLE North Stars bench. That's real frickin' hockey; Bobby Orr, Eddie Shore, Cam Neely, Z Chara hockey! Who challenges a whole bench: The BIG BAD BRUINS! ______ Oh yeah, in other news, the Stars still play boring, neutral zone crap that makes me want to poke my eyes out when watching. ps-Quebec?
Is this the same Rick Perry who has failed to properly secure our border in the 3 terms he's served? Don't get me wrong,i want our border enforced but I'm not as gullible as you guys.What do handouts have to do with illegal immigrants? Guess what bigots and twits? There's 12+million hard-working undocumented immigrants in this grand nation of ours.They're not going anywhere.....
Wasn't Newy the only show on the fan that beat ESPN in the ratings? Of course, he was up against Ben and Skin, but still...
Agreeance. Bush kicked the Vietnam syndrome once and for all by God but lost re-election because of the economy. Sound familiar?
No prob gubernator....let's take her BACK; let's make her proud! This country was built on moxy, not handouts. Seal the border.
Oh, hey Kergo! Thank you. You know I once killed a "cuyot" while jogging-right? I thought it was an illegal alien. SEAL THESE DAMN BORDERS! Nice post yesterday Kerger, "let's take her back"; let's be proud again. Adios mofo's.
Not even you believe that one. "I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." - G.W. Bush, 3/13/02
Hey busy/birther bee,Obama wants me to give this to you.He apologizes; http://www.alan.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/photo.png
classy online statement...Still I don't miss the mailed in show he did for the "money" Elf and Josh actually try to do a show until we get to Greggo and the midget Obama suckass mail it in show.
Ah, Memphis is no joke. I see them in 6 against the Thunder. I'll be back tomorrow with my daily updates. Honestly, there wasn't anything to bring me back to this blog last week, I trolled the Spurs blogs instead. On a side note, I need RBI's people and have SP available(except Oswalt and Jurgen). If you got big boobs let me hear from ya.
haha, thanks SM. Good article, Newy is one of the few to call out the amount of change at the station and how bad it is for continuity. He could have just taken his money and shut up.
here is ur newy update, and contrary to popular belief, he was not fired for the vending machine http://www.newdawg.com/commerce/mywords/mywords.asp
Obama victory? The two informants (captured during Bush's presidency in 2003 and 2005) that provided the tips concerning Osama's courier were held by the CIA as part of the agency’s enhanced interrogation program. The same interrogation program that Obama criticized and shut down.
Good to see you around sir, thought after Memphis did y'all up..we'd have to send out a search party. Memphis looked good yesterday too. We all missed your indepth looks at the SFBL.
That was a repost of some classic Real Kergo...greatness meet Legend
Newy? Ben and or Skin? K Scott?
Hey funbaggers. Can't say I missed this blog last week, there wasn't really anything good written. On a side note, the Musers proved why the Fail can't do what that Ticket does. Your guys muddled through sports talk, which was good for me to get caught up on my sports during Musers breaks. Hell, even Mike and Mike were doing 9/11 and Osama talk today. I'm bummed about Newy, I actually liked that big guy, wtf happened there? The death kiss of RW? I'm out, rack me.
I, for one, miss the XFL. It was just a little bit ahead of its time and a lot of its innovations have already been stolen by the NFL.
Which Kergo is this?
Bruce Gilbert?
"What? No liberal douchers crying about how we should have negotiated with him, let him tell us about his abused (Saudi rich) upbringing, how 9/11 was OUR fault, and given Bib Laden a hug?" Not a one. Which just goes to prove how silly it is to swallow the cartoonish portrayal of liberals espoused by idiots like Limbaugh, Beck, and Coulter..
That was more rambling and nonsensical than a Jerry Jones speech.
Armin?
the only thing better than this news would have been if Rick Perry had killed Bin Laden.....adios mofo! Seal these damn borders. Best of from 8/25/10: ________________ WTH? Sheesh Craig.....ummmm, Oswalt played in the outfield tonight!? I'm working on a new character to replace "Coulton the MMA Doucher", who has the been the Rich Harden of my arsenal-very disapointing. The fellers name is "Sporty" the sportatorium monkey, a mascot that has ruined bread isles from Winnie to Mentone, from Alpine to New Boston....a creature so fierce and flacid he could make a divorced 50 year old guy with the sleeves cut off his t-shirt on a Harley crumble, his wit and cunning so sharp, he could make a librarian quiver in silent and anxious pain. So, basically what he does is just destroy the bread isles of local merchants. When they chase him, he becomes enraged and his mind becomes engourged with the fits and a fury of one thousand fiery steeds on a foggy, battle laden steppe. Any suggestions? ps-I could just take the low road and make the mascot some waitress at Dukes that smokes, has two kids and brings Richie "man sized beers"...all the while cackling, blabbing and looking for hubby #3. Go Garland. Go HEB! Go party cove with your dirty lake, 100 degree water and littered shores; hey, who wants a Natty Light and an STD. Picture it now: Now at Lake Lewisville or Hubbard, get your man sized bargain basement canned beer with a new, festering STD! AND, you can hang out with a 20 something douchebag that drives an 84 Chevy, replete with windows that don't roll up and sleeps on his mom's couch. FANCY. ps-Go Walmart! I love it when I go into the price saver and nothings on the shelves....ahhhh, reminds me of hurricane season. Methinks if the shelves were stocked, they could make even more money. And the people. I may write a book. The guy I saw at my WM today with that festering boil made me want to run immediately to Chipotle and get that extra large with scabs and bloody bandages-yum! And thank you lady with the four screaming kids, who I could hear across the store. It was like a mini Duggar family except they were void of Christ, shoes and any semblance of manner. I was looking at the tents, when I heard a ruckus that sounded like a trash truck and a full city bus colliding, I look up and they turn the corner and big momma in a Looney Toones t-shirt (faded, with holes) is administering a beating like Idi Amin. And I am awestuck by the power, she's holding him by one leg, upside down, and whipping his #ss. The kids got a buzz cut, a shirt with no sleeves (and a pic of a four wheeler) and is laughing at his siblings (while getting his #ss beat) in the basket. Later I'm trying to find nice stone in the garden section to compliment my yard when here comes this cavalcade of boogers, snot, noise, Macdonald's (yes, people from the south call it Macdonalds, like Warsh or Ecorn....ahhh, what a smart dialect) and this 400 pound woman with the four kids, cheap pizzas, and name brand pasta rounds the bend and the whole thing just tips over and rams the flower display. The kids were ok. I just left my basket and went home. Still not as crazy as that guy beating his brothers #ss (literally) in the camping section of the Walmart in Sulphur OK; the whole time yelling at him that you don't get anything over a two man tent because people will sneak into it while your sleeping and $hit in it. ?!. I watched in bemused horror and amazement as this guy administered a beating so fierce and brutal that it was only rivaled by the lady with the four kids. Here I am looking at camping stoves (by the way, butane works best....has an even flame and is safe) with one eye on Coleman and the other eye peering, peeking at this guy with the eager temper. I was just glad he didn't notice me staring. On a side note: I went camping one time at Morphy Lake, NM(north of Las Vegas-high glacial lakes)and the park ranger gave me the code to the gate so I could leave at 5AM. Said that crime and gangs had been an issue. Spent a great time and when it came time to leave, I open the gate and around the bend comes a gang of bikers that blew past me in a rage....I can only imagine what the families were thinking when they were awoken at 5 AM by the sounds of classic rock, tailpipes and fireworks(maybe gunplay?). Final note: I blew out two tires on the gravel road to the Cossotot River near Mena last year, and I drove for 40 miles on the rims of my Honda to Nashville Ark to get the tires replaced. I didn't have any place to put my dog, so he goes up on the lift, they replaced the tires, the car comes down, and that little fella had #hit all over everything-the map, my wallet, my phone....you name it, poo everywhere. That's only rivaled by the time he $hit all over the hotel room in New Mexico after he ate a bunch of bear skat. I had to clean it up with cheap toilet paper and bar soap. Really final note: The last time I was in Galveston I wanted to kayak in the surf, so, I stayed in the cheapest place I could find ($70.). When the Kerg's arrived, he realized that this room came with EVERYTHING, including a fresh turd in the toilet. You gotta love cleaning ladies in a hurry to get the job done!
Scruffygeist: blah,blah,blah.I hate you so much Richie.blah,blah.I'm on here almost everyday attacking you cause' I'm a no life loser and I'm jealous of your cool radio show gig.blah,blah... LOL!!
Hey cactus, go fuck yourself, and then when you figure how to, im going to take credit for it, even though I didnt do thing except tell you to do it
I guess cactus hates the military. Don't give them any credit, give it all to black jesus.
Nah, the fact Bush "didn't really think a whole lot about Bin Laden" and Obama made him a priority had nothing to do with it. Not a thing. That yellow cake was way way more important. Those awful WMDs. Yep, they were way more important than Bin Laden.
So the real question is will he make it in trifecta talk?
Cheers Richie! http://www.examiner.com/images/blog/wysiwyg/image/obama_osama(1).jpg :-)
Its not a win for Obama, he didnt find him, he didnt do the grunt work, he just so happens to be the man in charge when we found him. The credit goes to the military servicemen and intelligence gatherers who found him, shot him and sent his ass to the next plane.
hey bro no prob, i figured as much. I hate when people send me shit like that with no context, ive been burned b4 posting stuff like that
Obama is a big Liberal.Obama killed Osama.Obama loves and supports the great Muslim-American community(an estimated 7+million and growing).Case closed.....
Just another Obama victory! First he humiliates the whiny birthers(Thank God Richie isn't a birther,he's as douchy as it is already,lol!) and now he did what Bush FAILED to accomplish,kill Osama Bin Laden.This guy is just too good.....
What? No liberal douchers crying about how we should have negotiated with him, let him tell us about his abused (Saudi rich) upbringing, how 9/11 was OUR fault, and given Bib Laden a hug? I hope they stuck a big strip of bacon into his dead muslim mouth (and taped it shut) before dumping him in the ocean with the lunch trash. Hopefully there were some great whites cruising the area.
Remember that last week RIchie took credit for Greggo having a job. Greggo WAS NOT hired on TALENT or YEARS of EXPERIENCE. NO, it was all Richie.
Smart thing dumping his body in the sea. None of the POS that followed him can build a grave site that they can travel to. Hopefully it fell into a very deep ocean canyon.
And what the fuck would be your suggested alternative booby? Maybe we should have let OBL called Kings-X and saved some money.
Yes.
I really am glad Osama's a goner, but I've really got to ask at what costs. It's been ten years, two wars (yes..two), billions (trillions?) of dollars, thousands of U.S. soldiers dead, and the Tali Bahn is far from gone. And we're giddy over the death of one person??
It was also cool seeing Chris Young outpitch Cliff Lee.
Suprised how many people seem to want to give W so much credit for this. If he hadn't have taken his eye off the ball and gotten us into the mess in Iraq this probably would've happened much sooner. This is a win for Obama and a win for America.
And, now that I notice it, what is a Top Top 10? You had more? To actually say something related to the story, if we ever get to hear the entire tale of the intelligence and operation, it'd probably be a fascinating read.
Stick to sports Whitt. I am not a Bush lover, but maybe Obama was able to accomplish this with help from the work Bush did in office. Give the dude some credit too. And this shouldn't be about who did what anyway. The important part is he's dead. I love that Obama called Bush to tell him before he addressed the nation. I was watching the Phillies/Mets game, and it was cool watching everyone find out the news by checking their phones. It's crazy how fast news travels.
Navy Seals=Badasses, we'll agree with that RW. I too would of liked to of found him by 9/21/001, but would of preffered to found him after their first attack of the tower.
Obama will get elected 19 months from now because of last night just like George Bush got reelected in November of 92 because of his Gulf War victory in 91 (Clinton won the presidency in 92).
My bad. It was forwarded to me.
I rip Fox news when it deserves it, but it wasnt the Fox national news that did that, it was a local affiliate in San Diego or somesuch. Although Gerarldo was so giddy last night he was even praising obama, ut he did have a slip where he called osama obama.
This is what Fox News did last night: http://twitpic.com/4s7aye
I wonder how Fox/Rove/et al. are going to spin this to be somehow bad for Obama. Somewhere I hear a NY Yankee Stadium bouncer type voice telling Rummy, Cheney and the rest of that lot, "Ya had ya chance!" Yes, today is a good day for America.
Did you go to the Charlie Sheen School of Comedy? Don't quit your day job. Actually, go right ahead.
I got goosebumps watching the announcement last night. I thought I was in an Ambien haze until I woke this AM and he was still dead. It is truly a great day to be an American. BTW, I'm now #2 in SFBL!
