    Nothing like this has happened since President McKinley was attacked by a wild boar.

  2. Jim Demintia says at 3:57 pm, January 20th, 2010

    The White House also says that health care will have to wait until Scott Brown finds his chair. Which means, no more doctors, ever, for America.

  3. jetjaguar says at 3:58 pm, January 20th, 2010

    Well, they are the #1 threat…

  4. Does this mean that is Obama had posed bear like Senator Naughty, maybe he’d have his health care ducks in a row today?

  5. american mutt says at 4:01 pm, January 20th, 2010

    Bears! I knew it! Even when it was the immigants, I knew it was the bears.

    With this loss of the vaunted ‘60th’ vote can we now PLEASE tell Joe Lieberman to fuck off? Take away his chairmanship, force him to caucus with the GOP, and generally not pay any attention at all to anything he says?

  7. Hooray For Anything says at 4:02 pm, January 20th, 2010

    See, that’s what happens when you’re the party in power and you don’t do anything about the shortage of pic-a-nic baskets.

  8. SayItWithWookies says at 4:06 pm, January 20th, 2010

    And I thought they just had a bad case of the chickenshits.

  9. Jim89048 says at 4:06 pm, January 20th, 2010

    Colbert is vindicated.

  10. Extemporanus says at 4:07 pm, January 20th, 2010

    Brown bears?

    Fucking pussies.

  11. bitchincamaro says at 4:08 pm, January 20th, 2010

    As sure as they shit in the woods.

  12. We should have listened to Colbert’s warnings; now look what happened.

    Wait, maybe the White House is blaming the Chicago Bears; although I’m not sure why, they didn’t play the Patriots last season.

  13. Suds McKenzie says at 4:09 pm, January 20th, 2010

    chascates: Revre!!

  14. mattbolt says at 4:12 pm, January 20th, 2010

    “Bears” as in, the kind of stocky, hairy-bellied butch dude?

    Yeah, I’m pretty sure he’s the one that won the election.

  15. ForTheTurnstiles says at 4:15 pm, January 20th, 2010

    The last bear in the senate was Larry “Wide Stance” Craig, an authentically hairy gay man. Mitch McConnell don’t count with them chins of his.

  16. ForTheTurnstiles says at 4:15 pm, January 20th, 2010

    mattbolt: erg, beat me to it

  17. Extemporanus says at 4:19 pm, January 20th, 2010

    ForTheTurnstiles: But Mitch McConnell Ursa Major asshole.

  18. RoscoePColtraine says at 4:21 pm, January 20th, 2010

    I shall give our Bearbloke a chance to weigh in on this thread before I share my observations and opinions with the group.

  19. doxastic says at 4:22 pm, January 20th, 2010

    chascates: What I wouldn’t give to watch Republicans get Lieberman’d!

  20. SmutBoffin: what about when Carter was attacked by the Swamp Rabbit?

  21. sarcasticusername says at 4:26 pm, January 20th, 2010

    someone please clue hopey in to the fact that admitting you screwed up is only respectable & endearing the first 50 or so times, after that you just become that annoying guy who constantly screws shit up.

  22. american mutt says at 4:26 pm, January 20th, 2010

    i hope someone gets my simpsons reference.

  23. american mutt: yeah, yeah. Let the bears pay the bear tax. I pay the Homer tax.

  24. Surfeit O' says at 4:39 pm, January 20th, 2010

    american mutt: Sure, the episode where Apu was an illegal immigrant (although you’re paraphrasing Moe, who apparently also turned out to be an illegal immigrant).

    I think the Democrats PREFER losing. That way they can keep milking their voters for contributions while not actually having to do anything.

  25. Holy Cow!! says at 4:41 pm, January 20th, 2010

    Clearly, he means the Leather Bears of San Francisco. As every Republican knows, everything is the gays’ fault.

  26. JMP: On the other hand, it wouldn’t surprise me a bit if the Cubs were responsible in some way.

  27. Martha Coakley: Exit pursued by BEAR!

  28. SmutBoffin says at 4:43 pm, January 20th, 2010

    pampl: But that was a big win for the Dems…

  29. Shakespeare must have seen this coming in “The Winter’s Tale”.

  30. betterDeadThanRed says at 4:48 pm, January 20th, 2010

    It’s that stupid tea party and their obsession with the Second Amendment insisting that we keep and arm bears.

  31. Wait, maybe it was a typo and they actually blamed beers. Some of the volunteers started the celebration too early, then never got around to their get-out-the-vote efforts or even voting themselves.

  32. PlanetWingnuta says at 4:59 pm, January 20th, 2010

    WOLVERINES!!!!!!!!!!!!! …too soon?

  33. chascates:

    The one bright spot in this debacle. Oh yes, my friends, it is FINALLY time to go medieval on his droopy dog ass…the very next bill to pass needs a “Sen Leibermans Senatorial offices are now the employees mens room just off the loading docks ” amendment with a “if you don’t STFU the Master at Arms is going to wack your little pee-pee with a mallet ” rider.

  34. Canuckledragger says at 5:39 pm, January 20th, 2010

    Andrew Sullivan will not be allowed “back” into Canada, because we already have all the bears we need, and he ain’t even from around these here parts.

    Canadian bears can be either prissy or poncey, but not both at once. That Andrew’s strictly Fire Island material….

  35. Bearbloke says at 6:26 pm, January 20th, 2010

    mattbolt: Not even close, mate - us Bears would hustle Senatorfold Brown over to the ‘ladies bar’ ASAP - maybe he’s got some makeup tips for them…

    Holy Cow!!: …and the SF Leather Bears would bind, gag & chain him to a big rock at high tide!

  36. Extemporanus says at 6:31 pm, January 20th, 2010

    Bears only share part of the blame if one uses Fozzy math.

  37. Extemporanus says at 8:46 pm, January 20th, 2010

    Extemporanus: And that joke is only funny if one uses the correct spelling of “Fozzie”.

    Uh, wocka wocka wocka?
