“Doh!”
“If we defund UNESCO do I still have a job?” followed by “Doh!”
i like the simple “Doh!” better.
i second it.
it looks like the woman in the middle is smiling.
Yeah, she thought it funny.
He looks like he is ready to commit harakiri ,also knows as seppuku.
“I have an Excedrin headache!”
If he knows Latin, he probably thinks: “mala tempora currunt”,(bad times are upon us ). But I doubt it, if he knows.
He probably thinks: “shi…..scheisse”.
“Aw, fer cryin’ out loud! Can’t they all just die quietly?!”
I’ve always harbored a fantasy to be a headline writer for a tabloid paper like the NY Post or Daily News, so along those lines I’d go with something like Seham – UNESC-DOH!
Master is not going to be happy about this…
You mean Bibbi.
“They all look like they are having good time, and I have to always think of some cunning , deceiving plans. I’m sick and tired of it”.
“I’m ready to give it all up”.
“Obama better get me moved up the waiting list at Congressional, this is bullshit. I didnt even know what UNESCO was when I took this job.. if this lady keeps laughing, its gonna get ugly!”
The NBA cancelled two more weeks? Ahh shit!
“Quid infantes sumus” , “What are we, a bunch of (cry) babies??”
“They told me that a diplomat is an honest man sent to lie abroad for his country, but do I have to look happy too?”
Oy a broch!
Good one!
Sh’ma yisroael, adonoi, eloheynu…..
i think admiral stockdale said it best when he asked rhetorically during 1992 VP debate ‘who am i? why am i here?’, although i don’t sense that killion sees any humor in his irrelevance.
“Where’s that fucking spin-doctor, he can tell the US public how punishing some of the poorest people on the planet upholds our values”
“Alright Goku, isn’t this how instant transmission works? I could really use it right now”
Sorry to crash your party but this is only theater. Is inconceivable that the US didn’t know the outcome of the vote before the announcement. Hint: It was 107 vs. 14, even G.W. Bush could guess this one.
Yes, and the Israeli rep. to UNESCO seemed humorously resigned when he voted “NO” and — it is said — people laughed. He knew where the vote was going.
I read it was 159 vs 12
‘what was obama thinking” ?
funny how the lady on his right is basically smiling and happy!
“Where’s Obama with a drone missile strike when you need him most?”
Oh fuhhhckkk!!!
I think it’s more like F___,F____, F___,I told them this would happen!
Now what’s gonna happen to my f______ job?
LOL, Obama’s gonna stay in UNESCO, like a freeloader in the living room everybody hates because he says he can’t chip in for pizza & all know he just gave a prostitute all his spare change. They won’t lose their jobs, just a lot of good will they’ve enjoyed from there peers in UNESCO. They must be aware that this defunding move hurts US jobs, security, PR, opportunities for international cooperation, and that other UN-affiliated agencies will be next to get dumped, including those helping our hi tek patent folks, and nuclear WMD monitoring, etc. US funded 22% of UNESCO’s total funding.
LOL American,
I actually originally posted: Oh F— F— F—!!! But I self-censored through the edit function and took the minimalist route.
The dude was practically headbutting his paperwork on the desk from humiliation – and that to me sure warranted the three effs caption.
“Shit. I really thought I’d swung them round with that ‘making better wheels’ line.”
Jesus asking why God (the super power) has abandoned him?
It’s a long way from shock and awe
I wish the world was Congress.
I was curious about Killion, here’s his bio. I don’t think he has to worry about another job, congress or O or Hill will find him one…if he worked for Berman and Lantos he’s a zionist sympathizer, if not a zionist…..and you have to be one or the other to work in the US government today.
David T. Killion
Permanent Representative
UNESCO
Term of Appointment: 08/12/2009 to present
Ambassador David T. Killion was nominated as U.S. Permanent Representative to UNESCO with the rank of Ambassador on June 25, 2009 by President Obama and was sworn into office on August 12, 2009.
Prior to his appointment, Mr. Killion served as a Senior Professional Staff member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and was the Committee’s top expert on International Organizations and State Department Operations. He managed the drafting of the State Department Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 2010 and 2011 on behalf of Committee Chairman Howard Berman (D-CA), which passed the House on June 10, 2009. He also coordinated the Committee’s initiatives to improve UN management and to reform UN human rights mechanisms.
Mr. Killion served as top UN advisor to the previous Chair and Ranking Member of the Committee, the late Congressman Tom Lantos (D-CA). In this capacity he worked on legislation that Mr. Lantos introduced and passed in 2001 authorizing the U.S.’s re-entry to UNESCO.
Prior to serving on the Foreign Affairs Committee, Mr. Killion was an appointee of the Clinton Administration in the Department of State, in the bureau of Legislative Affairs (1996-2001), and as a legislative assistant to Congressman David Skaggs (D-C0) (1994-1996).
All we needed to know is Killion served Lantos. That’s like the Obama-Dennis Ross connection.
“That’s sooo not fair. Our voices should count for more, like tenfold or something like that. After all, we plan to rule the world.
Stupid democracy. Who ever thought of that?
My headache is unbearable. Too much thinking… oh, scheeeisse. “
“I can’t believe Kim is getting divorced.”
WINNER!!!!!
Not that there is anything to win. Just wanted to let you know I liked it.
….wait, there’s no prize?! haha ; )
DEX – I was coming home last night to WRITE THE SAME CAPTION!!!!
HAHAA!!! Awesome. Well done indeed
Who is Kim??
kim kardashian
where have you been?
lol link to youtube.com
She just got married like, what , a few days ago?
She is already divorcing? How could she?
I know. That’s the MAIN NEWS for many magazines, shows and many Americans.
The topic of serious conversations. Auch.
welcome to mainstream media where reality happens somewhere else, and vacuous fluff passes for ””news”’…
Trust me. It is not only in american MSM. It is ALL over.
“Panem et circenses”, ( bread and circuses).
Soon ” panem” may not be there, but the MSM ” circenses ” will play its empty/deceiving tunes, like the Orchestra on the sinking Titanic.
At least the Orchestra was playing something nice. I assume.
Pay the man!!
“I own the face of this humiliation. I hate my job.”
One can see where this so -called “American’s” loyalty is … Israel first, Israel second, Israel third … USA last!
There are many like him out there in various positions in this & previous US administrations…guarding their “Israel comes First” interests.
This zionist seems devastated … he just can’t seem to handle the outcome!
Oh shit! I’ve shot myself in the foot with a Zionist drone.
“oy vey”
The lady in the middle smoked to much pot
“Must tell Vickey to solve it at the press meeting”.
“France too…aye yi yi”
“I’m becoming irrelevant”
Bugger, bugger, bugger, bugger, BUGGER.
Though I really think Seham’s is best.
Crap. Just lost my job!
What happened, Saleema? Why and how did you lose your job? And what was your job, if that’s not too personal.
Citizen, I think Saleema is proposing a caption.
“I’m so screwed. I can smell Hillary Clinton’s hair on fire from here.”
“I think we would be better doing “eeny meeny miny moe”.
At least we would have 50/50% chance of winning.
Oh, my headache. No more drinking tonight….. but then , at least now I have a good excuse. Scheisse.
I’d rather listen to Vogon poetry.
“Oh freddled gruntbuggly/thy micturations are to me/As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee.
Groop I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes. And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon, see if I don’t!”
Nimrod was right. It is science fiction.
“I ‘m trying to take a short nap here , but this women next to me is sooo annoying. She laughs like there is any reason to it. Oh, scheisse.”
“I hope the voting doesn’t take too much longer…’cause I really gotta pee!!”
Ok. The last one:)
“I know they are gonna talk about me on mondoweiss.
These bunch of &$#@!!!
I hope ,at least eee, witty and hophmi will try to protect my good name.
I’ll tell my secretary to send them a box of cheap chocolate. Those boys are trying sooo hard. Oh, my headache. …scheisse.”
Darn! Now I own a bridge in Brooklyn
Ooooooh, my Goddess!
and that is only the first debacle…..
another 15 or so to come…..!!
“I wonder how Victoria Nuland is going to weasel out of the next press conference…”
