White House: “Al Qaeda Is Like This Big Ol’ Bagel, All Gone In The Middle, And Stuff”
Posted on | August 6, 2013 | 32 Comments

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?

How ’bout a glazed donut? Mmmm …. donuts.

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.
August 6th, 2013 @ 7:48 pm
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.

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.
August 7th, 2013 @ 12:51 am
try them with a cheeseburger, great State Fair food
meat and sweet
August 7th, 2013 @ 12:52 am
where is this place and i will take mine with cream cheese, a cup of coffee and might skip work to talk to the babe.
about stuff, not in a creeping way, really
August 7th, 2013 @ 6:29 am
Beer and donuts is a surprisingly tasty combination, but sadly not for every day consumption.
August 7th, 2013 @ 11:36 am
Still, I’m glad that anti-American organization was partially shut down. You know, our State Department.
