White House: “Al Qaeda Is Like This Big Ol’ Bagel, All Gone In The Middle, And Stuff”

Paraphrasing Jay Carney, but not by much:

“There is no question that over the past several years that the Al Qaeda core has been greatly diminished, not least because of the elimination of Osama bin Laden,” Carney said.

When was the last time we closed down embassies for a full week? And we’re still a month shy of the anniversary of the demise of Ambassador Stevens and the other three.

It’s probably hyperbole to postulate that, in another month, Al Qaeda shall be fully gone, as well as our entire State Department. But who can tell, in this nutty day?

    Part of the gag is comparing jihadists to Jewish breadstuff.

    I get my sesame bagel, dark toasted, with butter — and prepared by this absolute babe who rocks the Daisy Dukes — every weekday morning on my way to work, and while al Qaeda might be more substantial than that bagel, Barack Hussein Obama and Jay “Baghdad Bob” Carney are not.

    I understand that. I just like donuts better. I was gonna say chocolate donuts, but I didn’t want to appear racist. 🙂

    I like a good old-fashioned buttermilk doughnut, which is certainly latent raaaaacism at work.

    But, if you like Krispy Kreme donuts, then your taste is quite questionable.

    Well, there’s no donut quite like a true bakery donut, but in a pinch ….

    I think it’s a ploy to satisfy the frightening libertarian isolationist right wing.

    I am happy to close all our Mideast embassies.
    Harder for the bastards to get visas!

    Bagels are the food of the Zionists, Other McCain the Zionist Propagandist!
    I like mine with cream cheese, toasted, sesame seeds.

    Beer and donuts is a surprisingly tasty combination, but sadly not for every day consumption.

    Still, I’m glad that anti-American organization was partially shut down. You know, our State Department.

    These clowns are like those fake doctors in Tijuana who will remove the “cyst” in your pancreas and tell you you’re cured. Those American doctors don’t know everything.

    It’s the Bagel Bunch, on US 209 between Jim Thorpe and Lehighton, Pennsylvania. They are open between 0530 and 1400.
