Obama Administration Graciously Accepts Apology from Repugnant Filth

whyyouYesterday, the greatest president in American history said this about Enemy of the People Joe Wilson:

“I’m a big believer that we all make mistakes,” Obama said. Wilson “apologized quickly and without equivocation. I am appreciative of that.

“I do think that, as I said last night, we have to get to the point where we can have a conversation about big, important issues that matter to the American people without vitriol, without name-calling, without the assumption of the worst of other people’s motives,” Obama said.

Today, Richard Wolffe quotes an unnamed White House “senior adviser” regarding the inability of the polls to recognize Obama’s greatness:

…In this adviser’s view, the town hall dramas didn’t take the toll everybody think they did; rather, the outbursts were largely politically irrelevant. “I don’t think the protestors hurt us,” the senior adviser said. “We’ve done three town hall meetings and they were all fine.”

In fact, the White House is more than ready to brush aside the now-infamous protest of Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina, who yelled at the President during his televised address. “I think this is a pimple on the ass of progress,” said the senior adviser.

Let’s move beyond the vitriolic namecalling, you ass-zit!

Courtney Love and Guitar Hero: Keep Digging That Hole

courtney-love-hot-messCourtney Love is still as charming as ever. The Guardian is reporting that she plans to sue the makers of Guitar Hero for using Kurt Cobain’s likeness in the fifth installment of the mega-popular video game.

Guardian blogger Everett True blasted Love for allowing Cobain’s animated likeness to be used in GH5, enabling players to make a Cobain avatar lip sync to songs like “Dancing With Myself” and “You Give Love A Bad Name” (no pun apparently intended).

Love took to Twitter to drop about a dozen f-bombs and put the blame on her late husband’s bandmate:

She blames Cobain’s Guitar Hero appearance on greedy lawyers and Dave Grohl, the former Nirvana drummer and current Foo Fighters frontman. “You can ass-rape Dave,” she told True, “he was always a bad seed and is still riding the sh*t while I take bullets. If there’s a hell, he’s going. I’m not.”

But for now, Love plans to head to the courts. “We are going to sue the sh*t out of Activision; ‘we’ being the Trust, the Estate, the LLC, the various LLCs, Cobain Enterprises … For the record, this Guitar Hero sh*t is breach of contract on a bully’s part and there will be a proper addressing of this and retraction.”

Dave Grohl’s publicist immediately called shenanigans on that, pointing out that “Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl, the two surviving members of Nirvana, have no say whatsoever in the usage of Kurt Cobain’s likeness.”

And interestingly enough, Activision says that not only did they have Love’s permission, but she even got to choose what Cobain was wearing:

The Guitar Hero developers said that it was “great to work with [Love]“. “Courtney supplied us with photos and videos,” said Activision vice president Tim Riley. “She picked the wardrobe and hairstyle, which turned out to be the ‘Teen Spirit’ look, then we went back and forth over changes – some subtle, some not so subtle … [She wanted a] sort of athletic definition but not overly so.”

Courtney Love seems to enjoy playing the victim but with a track record like hers, she doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt here.
