PHOTO: "This is coffee."

[Bluebear]

"Some people don't have servants to bring their beverages. Remember when your mommy rang her little silver plated dinner bell for her coffee refill? Well, this is coffee. It comes in a can, and hard working Americans--not the hard work YOU talk about, but really hard work-- take coffee from that can and put it in something called a coffeemaker so they can start their day. Five, six days a week, with no vacation! Imagine! And if they happen to go on a bender on Friday night after working at the plant all week, they have to actually get up the next day and make the stuff. Not like you pretty Bush boys after a night of getting zonked when you can have Winslow bring a cuppa to your room. Anyhow, you add water to the machine and it drips into the carafe....how can I describe it...picture the pensions and workers rights you are robbing working Americans out of every day kind of dribbling into a glass pot, drip drip drip. Oh, oh, oh, better one! Think about the evidence mounting against you and your cronies leaking out bit by bit, drip drip drip drip....make sense? Hey, why you sweating? You're not doing anything..."

1. Probably the first time since College that he had held a can of coffee...

And didn't know they were now plastic.

[psychopomp]

41. LOL actually I didn't know that

and was just looking at the picture and thinking "when did that happen?" But, I have only been to the U.S. three times since the Blue Dress so what do I know?

[redacted]

44. Ben, you think he actually think he held a can of coffee at Yale?

Wouldn't the servants in Yale's Eating Clubs have taken care of that for him?

[mandyky]

45. It''s a pretty recent change

maybe a year at most. I use them as cannisters once they are empty. They also make great cookie jars.

[Robertwf]

2. I Thought They Were Homemade Piggy Banks

Gee, I thought the coffee cannisters had already been emptied of their contents so B*** could start saving for all the programs he's got going. Here's a nickel for Iraq. There's a dime for Mississippi, guess I'll put the quarter in for Louisiana. Uh, that leaves only a penny for Medicaid health care--but we can always count on those private sector guys to kick in for the GOP.

3. Beating my head on the mousepad laughing

Something about this post just got the funnybone. :hi:

[Bluebear]

5. Ya don't laugh, ya go crazy, right?

Glad you got a tickle.

[Inland]

4. Jeez. nt

[belle]

6. "See those cans? That's the size of the receptacle your ass will fit in

after three more years of your miserable reign. I don't want to tell you how it gets in there; suffice it to say that it WILL be handed to you, one way or another."

[Lifelong Protester]

7. This reminds me of the time that Bush Senior

went into a supermarket and beheld his first SCANNER, and had to be shown how it worked several times as he was fascinated. Then he couldn't imagine what the price of a gallon of milk or juice or whatever it was that was scanned. Quite out of touch with his fellow americans.

[Bluebear]

9. That was my inspiration.

:toast:

47. Here is the dialog Hoffmania added to it. Great post, Bluebear!

What's in there?
That would be coffee.
And that?
That's also coffee.
What's in that one?
Coffee, sir.
And that?
Still coffee.
And what's in that?
That'd be coffee.
What's in that one?
Coffee.
Okay, but I bet there's a puppy in that one.
No sir. Coffee.
Wow. What's in that one?
Coffee.
Is that one filled with candy?
No, sir. That's coffee.
And what's in the red one?
That's coffee.

[DemReadingDU]

39. He was fascinated because a portion of the UPC code

was missing, and yet the scanner still rang up the price of milk on a partial UPC code.

8. Bush 2's sock moment.

Eh, the rotten, worm-infested apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

[spuddonna]

10. LMAO!! That's so true and funny as hell!

"Think about the evidence mounting against you and your cronies leaking out bit by bit, drip drip drip drip....make sense? Hey, why you sweating? You're not doing anything..."

LOL That's AWESOME! Great job, Bluebear! :) Thanks for the laugh!

49. Not mine, I just use it!

I should find out who made it and send them a box of cookies!
Here is the website... some GREAT political artwork there.

I wrote to the owner and asked if it was ok to use it. (I think it will be) It says not for comercial use but links are availabe.

13. I just know that thousands of Gulf evacuees are sleeping better tonight

knowing that * is watching over the Folger plant.

:snort:

recommended. :)

[MADem]

14. Is that FOLGER's coffee???

OK, showing my age here, again...

I remember, years back, when FOLGERS was one of the companies that was doing business with IDI AMIN (known as the BUTCHER OF UGANDA at the time) after the rest of the world turned their back on him. They caught some shit for it, but it did not go over the radar until a bunch of comedians at NBC took them to task.

SNL, the Daily Show of the day at that time, did a skit where they parodied a FOLGERS commercial and commented that the reason it tasted so good is because the roots were fertilized with the blood of slain Ugandans...

At the time, Folgers had a faux spokeswoman, a very grandmotherly type, (Mrs. Olsen? Jensen? Seemed to be Scandanavian to me???) who would make the coffee in her apron. The parody was a brutal hoot.

Wish I could remember more about it, it was so long ago...

[Bluebear]

16. "Ja, ja, Folger's IS fresh ground coffee!"

[ThingsGottaChange]

22. How sad!

When Mrs. Olsen was doing the commercials I thought she was so old! Now I'm about her age!

[expatriate]

23. yep, just thought the same thing!

Hell, when I last saw Folger's ads with Mrs. Olson, she was an old biddy. Now she don't look half bad!

Which means if I go and watch The Wizard Of Oz right now, Glinda The Witch Of The North will look like a young whippersnapper ...

Get my Geritol honey, I'm feeling a little peaked!

[devilgrrl]

26. What do you do you get when you mix orange juice with Folgers coffee?

A screw Mrs. Olson!!!!!

:evilgrin:

32. RIMSHOT!

"thats also a can of Coffee"

"No shit? What about that one?"

"wow...hey I think I get it, that one over there has Cream in it right?"

"nope. Coffee".

"man, this is hard work"

[Bluebear]

20. FESCUE!!!

[Seansky]

21. Really funny. I bet that latetly he has had to learn what a lot of

things are.

[Stephanie]

24. He's the only one sweating.

Just him.

[blossomstar]

25. great post!

[Kurovski]

27. Hilarious.

The "sweating/not doing anything" part is a charming, yet deeply cutting zinger.

Nice. :thumbsup:

[fleabert]

28. "...and now let me tell you about the really hard work that is done BEFORE

the coffee makes it into the can..."

30. What does 'Mountain Grown' mean? I always loved that line. Ida Amin java

33. LOL ...Figures

[SalmonChantedEvening]

34. Great post Bluebear!

Take a bow!! :applause:

Poor, poor Winslow.

;)

[SammyWinstonJack]

35. Too bad he doesn't show that much interest when being briefed

about important stuff, ya know, that would save lives. IDIOT! On second glance, he just looks clueless as usual. Two looks for the Pinhead**, bored and or clueless. What a *leader*! :eyes:

[stlsaxman]

36. Sorry- but Folgers is NOT coffee.

Folgers is post-Katrina sludge scraped off the sidewalks of New Orleans, freeze-dried and canned. Real coffee comes in bean form and you grind it just before use. (/coffee snobbery)
:donut:

But I LOVE this post and will nominate for the greatest page!

[Bluebear]

37. True. But drunken frat boy Presidents just need the caffeine

:evilgrin:

[Blue Belle]

48. No... they think of coffee as something to cut...

their Bailey's Irish Creme at breakfast. :eyes:

38. "That's coffee. You know, the stuff they hide your blow in"

40. The way he handled the can was really telling

It was like he'd never touched a food container before

[dxstone]

42. Hilarious, BB!

And hopeful as well! NICE!!!
