‘Singe, don’t burn.’

‘Singe, don’t burn.’
The White House Correspondents Association denies telling comedian Rich Little to back off President Bush and the Iraq war. “I cannot be more clear that we never mentioned Iraq, we never gave him any guidelines,” says Steve Scully, president of the WHCA. “The only thing we told him is that we want to follow the policy of the Gridiron Dinner, which is ’singe, don’t burn’.”

Howza bout the biggest damn bonfire you’ve ever seen, with a stack of dried out orange crates stacked forty feet high, 12 gallons of gas poured on them, ignited by a freakin flamethrower.
January 19th, 2007 at 3:30 pmSinge that!
Sounds like their attitude to what is and isn’t torture.
January 19th, 2007 at 3:34 pmWell, someone is lying. Either the known liars are lying or the comedian is senile.
January 19th, 2007 at 3:37 pmIsn’t Rich Little like 100 years old? Does he even know who the president is or does he think Ford is still in office?

January 19th, 2007 at 3:48 pmLittle is 75 years old. He should be beyond sucking up to anyone, so his agreeing to all of this must mean he is on board with Bush and protecting the boy-king’s feelings.
A Must watch on TV
http://www.channel4.com/more4/drama/t/trial_tony/index.html
Watch the Clip where George Bush has been found commotosed Though drink at his ranch
ha ah aha a funniest thing ever on TV
January 19th, 2007 at 3:49 pmThey’re worried about what Rich Little could say? Nothing wrong with Rich, but he’s not exactly Lenny Bruce.
January 19th, 2007 at 3:49 pmRich Little: How about that George Bush? Best president since Lincoln. (Laughter). No, I mean it! (More laughter). Could you people wait for the jokes, please?

January 19th, 2007 at 3:57 pm“No.. we never gave him any guidlines telling him HOW to back off.”
January 19th, 2007 at 4:06 pmThink about this…‘back off president Bush and the Iraq war’.
January 19th, 2007 at 4:13 pmAgreed, it’s not a funny subject. IT’S THE ONLY SUBJECT.
Has denial reached a state of policy?
Perhaps.
The AG is a front man for PNAC.
The SOS is out of her league entirely.
The VP is a troglodite ghoul.
The President is a sociopath.
The WH Press Sec. lies for a living. (FrankenSnow?)
The SCOTUS has been planted with enemies of the State.
Right Wingers chase boy pages.
The White House channel on TV (Fox) slanders two US Senators in a week.
Singe, not burn, indeed.
Anyone got a match?
Why even bother to have the damn dinner. The press should just have an orgy kissing Bush’s naked butt > lol.
January 19th, 2007 at 4:15 pmWaaaah!!
You caught us with our pants down — AGAIN!!!
January 19th, 2007 at 4:20 pmIs this like the “don’t ask/don’t tell” neocon theory? Where does “truth” fit into the Singe/Don’t Burn theory? Obviously, if the truth is scathing and will impose a third degree burn on the perpetrator, then the theory becomes a way of gagging the truth from being told.
January 19th, 2007 at 4:29 pm#11 Isn’t that why Bushco “disappeared” the official white house visitor logs?? Damning evidence in them there logs, that’s for shoor!
January 19th, 2007 at 4:30 pm…must mean he is on board with Bush and protecting the boy-king’s feelings.

i’m guessing that was a prerequisite…
January 19th, 2007 at 4:32 pmI like vaporize myself.
January 19th, 2007 at 4:57 pmHey Rich Little,
January 19th, 2007 at 5:13 pmI still remember your “Nixon” routines….. don’t let us down this time around please…….. Nixon was a simple egg sucking hound compared to this crook………
In the Nixon years, it was ok to confront the president in a press conference, it was ok to make fun of him.
What happened?
January 19th, 2007 at 5:22 pmDon’t you think even a singe is too much for the Boy King to handle?
It’s more like “lick, and keep licking”.
January 19th, 2007 at 5:24 pmWhy should the press even attend? Honesty hurts, it’s too bad there aren’t more Stephen Colbert’s in the world with the balls to point it out!
January 19th, 2007 at 5:33 pmI’ll bet Dubious has his toaster set on ‘1′
January 19th, 2007 at 5:35 pmWell the POTUS is toastus.
January 19th, 2007 at 6:51 pmHe’s having shredded constitution for breakfast,
is out to lunch and dinner is US.

I’m trying to figure out what your comment at #23 has to do with the topic of this discussion, but so far, I’ve had no luck. Perhaps you would be so good as to explain it to me? Kthx.
January 19th, 2007 at 7:07 pm…anything to prop up the naked, asinine, semi-literate, vacant, fool for a wanna-be emperor.
January 19th, 2007 at 7:17 pmToo bad we can’t resurrect Bill Hicks from the grave and send him instead. You thought Colbert vivisected Bush. Hicks would’ve had to be lead out in restraints.
January 19th, 2007 at 7:33 pmrachel kinnardi,
