Too Funny

From a real news story:

A high-ranking Pakistani diplomat reportedly cannot be appointed ambassador to Saudi Arabia because in Arabic his name translates into a phrase more appropriate for a porn star, referring to the size of male genitals, Foreign Policy reported.

The Arabic translation of Akbar Zeb to “biggest d**k” has overwhelmed Saudi officials who have refused to allow his post there.

Heh.

Meanwhile the boys at Powerline get all geopolitical/philosophical on Biggus Dickus.

If this is True John Edwards is Apparently a Bigger Dick than We Realized

The National Inquirer says now that he beat Elizabeth Edwards.  Yeah, I know it’s the Inquirer, but, um, haven’t they been the most accurate on this guy?

Well, you can evaluate for yourself what you think of this charge.  If true, it only shows us that this vile man was even more evil than we thought.

And I won’t beat up Democrats for supporting him.  There were lots of good reasons why he shouldn’t have been Vice President, but none of them related to his cheating or (alleged) beating.  The best you can say is that you might expect it from a person who was so demonstrably narcissistic.  But yeah, we all should feel extra glad we dodged his political bullet.

What an ass.  Even if he was innocent of beating Elizabeth, what an ass.

John Edwards Sets the Record Straight

Now we know what to expect on that John Edwards sex tape.

Of course that counter-acts a rumor about what you really would see on the tape.

As for the rumor, I think they just misunderstood.  What viewers of the tape said was that it showed us that John Edwards is a huge dick.

It’s a subtle but important difference.

Speaking of, with a hat tip to The Soup, we have this clip of an odd comment by a weatherman.

I always say there is an inverse relationship between the size a man claims to be, and the size he actually is.

P.S.: Dig the bad hair day Edwards is having in that pic.

Update: Btw, I should acknowledge where the photo came from.
