It’s a lengthy clip, and not exactly highbrow. Definitely some salty language that’s not safe for work! But I needed a few laughs as we get near the end of 2012. It’s been great at times, but also tough. In other words, life.
My favorite moment of the blooper reel? Watch for “I so pale.”

A dentist acted legally when he fired an assistant that he found attractive simply because he and his wife viewed the woman as a threat to their marriage, the all-male Iowa Supreme Court ruled Friday. The court ruled 7-0 that bosses can fire employees they see as an “irresistible attraction,” even if the employees have not engaged in flirtatious behavior or otherwise done anything wrong.
Irresistible
(to the tune of “Unforgettable,” by Irving Gordon,
popularized by Nat King Cole)
(Dentist James Knight)
Irresistible, you’re truly grand,
Irresistible. So, doll, you’re canned.
Female charms are unignorable.
Here’s the ax, ’cause you’re adorable,
You have to go because you are so
Irresistible in every way,
Irresistible, if you should stay.
That is why I stand here stating you
Get this pink slip, terminating you,
‘Cause I dream of fornicating with you.
(All-male Iowa Supreme Court)
Irresistible we found his case
Irresistible. She has no place
In his office looking glamorous.
It’s her fault that he is amorous.
So he wants to wham-bam-ma’am her? Us, too.

A spokesperson for Rush Limbaugh claims that his recent comments about the National Rifle Association have been taken out of context. Though Limbaugh did call the lobbying organization “classy” after its CEO Wayne LaPierre held a news conference suggesting an armed guard at every school, he did not mean what the lamestream media want us to think he meant. The anonymous spokesperson points out that Limbaugh also called the NRA’s desire for an armed guard in every restaurant “mealy” and their call for one in every car “motory.”

Thin and Thick
I should try [living on food stamps] because do you know how fabulous I’d look? I’d be so skinny.
–Andrea Tantros, on Fox’s The Five, of which she is co-host
Yes, Andrea. A diet to try!
Here’s step one: leave your job. Say, “Bye-bye.”
Next step: spend all the money you’ve made.
Then apply for the government’s aid.
If that’s too much to follow precisely,
Just the first step will do very nicely.

I definitely agree that now is the time for progressives to up the pressure on President Obama, to encourage him to be…you know…progressive.
BILL MAHER: It’s now the job of progressives to hold his feet to the fire for causes important to us. If not now, when?

The Best Man
To a lot of women, they’re married to the government. The government is going to take care of them and their health care.
–Jeanine Pirro, on “The O’Reilly Factor,” explaining why single women voted for Pres. Obama
My big, strong husband’s quite the prize.
He’s not at all like other guys.
I know I’ll never need another man.
He doesn’t hog the covers or
Leave dirty socks strewn on the floor,
And never leaves the seat up on the can.
To go pursue progressive thrills,
I need my condoms and my pills,
But that’s no worry, ‘long as I’ve got Sam.
I love him ’cause he gives me stuff.
No other guy could give enough.
That’s just the kinda liberal gal I am.

From the same people who brought you the presidential debates in song format, here’s Mitt Romney singing his concession speech and laughing all the way to the bank.

Black Eye
The key reason for my bum prediction is that I mistakenly believed that the 2008 surge in black, Latino, and young voter turnout would recede in 2012 to “normal” levels. Didn’t happen.

Don’t feel bad, Dick. Although it is true
You completely and thoroughly blew
Your prediction, I note:
That minorities vote
Mitt’s entire campaign forgot, too.

Revenge
The best revenge is voting,
Obama said. “Don’t boo.”
Republicans are quoting
The line and trying to
Convince us that
The man’s a rat
Who’s using hate
To motivate.

Chris Cursed
When Christie said, “It’s come in handy
To have Obama’s help with Sandy,”
His party yelled, “You can’t say that!
You jerk, you praised a Democrat!”
A year ago they prayed he’d run
And be their ticket’s number one.
But now they hate the dirty rat
Because he praised a Democrat.
They screamed to Mitt, “Choose Chris for Veep!”
Their screamings now we’d have to bleep.
He was distinguished. Now he’s fat
Because he praised a Democrat.

Witty and insightful on his own, 0dysseus pointed me to the comic Twitter account Mitt’s Storm Tips, warning that we should enjoy these while we can, as it may very well turn tragic quite soon. 0dysseus himself lives in the path of the storm and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Sandy will calm down, of course.
I call on President Obama to sign immediate emergency tax cuts for the top 1% #MittStormTips—
