Matt Drudge really wants us to talk about how cool Martin O'Malley is.

This trio of images has been up at Drudge for so long that I feel like it won't go away until we talk about it. So here it is:



Have at it.

1. What's that Obama hand signal?
The “hook ‘em Horns” sign is not to be confused with the shaka sign — another hand gesture frequently used by Obama. That’s when surfers and, especially, people from Hawaii extend their thumb and smallest finger as a way to say “hang loose.”
2. Remember when Hillary banged her head and had to wear sunglasses? Then she looked at her phone and it made her seem like someone annoying from L.A. 

3. Why is Martin O'Malley showing his arms while playing guitar? "Your basic semi-pro, rebel song-singing, reel and jig-playing Celtic rock band, it’s the sort of act that has more enthusiasm than skill, more heart than polish…O’Malley — looking quite buff, thanks to a sleeveless T-shirt that showed off his muscular arms…"

4. The 3 images together? Is it a coolness contest? A youth comparison? A specific argument against Old Lady Clinton?

Too bad O'Mally can't show off his rain tax

Michael K म्हणाले...

The drunk Hillary theme is about to take off. Kerry has hopes, as shown by his separation from Obama on Netanyahu but O'Mally is the only young face in the Dims with any possibility. Warren is not that much younger than Hillary (66).

Dad म्हणाले...

The Obama hand signal is sign language for I Love You. It is composed of the alphabetic signs for I, L, and Y.

Brando म्हणाले...

Ugh, "celtic rock." We get it, Martin--you want to be proud of a heritage, but are too ashamed to be proud of your whiteness!

Not that anyone should be "proud" (or "ashamed") of their race, considering it was something you were born into and didn't achieve.

Big Mike म्हणाले...

Based on his tenure in nearby Maryland, I can only assume that if Martin O'Malley were President we'd all be facing tax rates of 110%

PS, Paul and Michael K, there's an 'e' in O'Malley.

traditionalguy म्हणाले...

O'Malley is unusually attractive for a political creature. He seems to be cultivating a Bruce Springsteenian look for votes.

As Hillary's VP he could help her with her walker.

Hagar म्हणाले...

We kind of have a personality cult going. The policies are all gentry left, but any opposition is claimed to be due to racial animus against Obama. The left has no rational explanations for their policies?

And now it seems like the only Democrat candidate for a third Obama term is Hillary!, who is not exactly an Obama-like candidate.

Not much confidence for the 2016 election, is there?

Ignorance is Bliss म्हणाले...

What's that Obama hand signal?

Laslo will be along to explain shortly...

Zero is a Texas Longhorn fan?

Loser.

Ignorance is Bliss is already there.

Obama is giving the Presidential version of the 'Shocker'.

Notice the use of the thumb and the finger-spacing: brace yourself, people.

I am Laslo.

MikeR म्हणाले...

Some people have trouble doing the Vulcan salute.

Michael K म्हणाले...

"Michael K, there's an 'e' in O'Malley."

I know but autocorrect didn't like it.

Cynicus म्हणाले...

The Obama picture is the cult of celebrity picture.
The Hilary picture is her phoning it in rather than campaigning.
The OMalley picture makes him look like a lazy playboy, not serious.

Laslo Spatula म्हणाले...

The 'Huma' is Hillary's secret 'handshake'.

If by 'handshake' you include Hillary putting her fingers in Huma's vagina.

I am Laslo.

Laslo Spatula म्हणाले...

How old is Hillary?

When she puts her fingers in Huma's vagina she pretends to dial a rotary phone.

I am Laslo.

Laslo Spatula म्हणाले...

"When she puts her fingers in Huma's vagina she pretends to dial a rotary phone."

When it is really dirty she pretends it is an early-Seventies rotary pay-phone and she keeps checking the coin-return.

I am Laslo.

Laslo Spatula म्हणाले...

I wouldn't mind viewing some Hillary-on-Huma P0rn.

Provided they pixellated Hillary to the point where it looked like Huma was receiving cunnilingus from a random collection of Legos.

I am Laslo.

Heartless Aztec म्हणाले...

Never throw a shaka without the accompanying Hawaiian phrase "Howzit brah?".

Douglas B. Levene म्हणाले...

The most important thing you need to now about O'Malley is that he was the inspiration for the character of Mayor Carcetti on The Wire. 'nuff said.

Eric the Fruit Bat म्हणाले...

Those are three different voicings of the same guitar chord.

Some sort of augmented 13th, perhaps.

traditionalguy म्हणाले...

Why is O'Malley giving us a bimbo man.

This is all adding up to Elizabeth Warren Time.

Drudge must be enjoying being Drudge with so many clowns out there.

Rumpletweezer म्हणाले...

O'Malley raised the sales tax from 5% to 6%. He's dead to me.

Laslo Spatula म्हणाले...

"4. The 3 images together? Is it a coolness contest? A youth comparison? A specific argument against Old Lady Clinton?"

5. Three people you cannot trust.


I am Laslo.

madAsHell म्हणाले...

The hand signal???

One in the pink, and one in the stink.

Sky म्हणाले...

What happens if Hillary is nominated and then has a serious stroke (that can't be concealed)?

Does the VP nominee take over the Presidential nomination, in the way that he or she presumably would if the nominee died?

I know about RFK, but (a) he was dead and (b) that was before the convention.

RLB_IV म्हणाले...

Laslo Spatula म्हणाले...

The Bill Clinton 'Shocker': Two in the Stink and a Cigar in the Pink.

I am Laslo.

JSD म्हणाले...

Irish music, as performed in America, requires only drinking and shouting lyrics. The guitar is optional, but don’t touch the fret board. It will approximate something in the key of G/E’ish, which is appropriate for most songs. The sleeveless shirt acceptable, but should have a Drop Kick Murphys logo. However, the sunglasses on the forehead would get you punched out at the Hibernian Club.

bleh म्हणाले...

Obama is using his index finger; therefore it isn't a shake, at least how you described it. It also isn't hook 'em horns since his thumb is not wrapped on his folded fingers.

David म्हणाले...

It's a triad of fools, that's for sure.

O'Malley could follow in a grand tradition. Bill Clinton became president because he had the audacity to run when other Democrats were in hiding because G.H.W. Bush was "unbeatable." Today everyone seems to think that Hillary is the inevitable nominee. O'Malley could profit simply be being willing to step up.

Of course this email server thing is going to put another dent in the inevitability. It now turns out that the server for the system was in the Clinton home in New York. In addition to being nefarious, that is amazingly irresponsible.

It's clear to me that the motivation was to give Clinton control over the disclosure of information on the server. It's impossible to trust that all relevant information was given to the State Department when it was requested. From the purging of files in Vince Foster's office to the mysterious arrival of the "missing" Watergate tax files in the White House personal quarters, there is a history of tampering with the record and lying.

Will this event finally cause the establishment media to hold her accountable? There are hints that it might, but don't count on it.

chillblaine म्हणाले...

Obama's hand gesture means communion with the Dark Triad.

Bob Boyd म्हणाले...

Obama is giving the Presidential version of the 'Shocker'.

Gestures to self with thumb.
Says,"I'm in the pink. You're in the stink."

Mark म्हणाले...

Dad's right.
For hook em horns, the thumb is not extended.
But with pinky (I), forefinger and thumb (L), and thumb and pinky (Y), you have "I love you" in American Sign.

अनामित म्हणाले...

I think every Obama hand gesture can be accurately translated to mean 'Fuck you, Amerikkka'.

Laslo Spatula म्हणाले...

Can you picture Obama trying to give The Shocker to Michelle?

Like trying to put your fingers in a bowling ball where the holes have been filled with cement.

I suspect.

I am Laslo.

Excellent point.

The trouble is where is Perot ?

Without a Perot O'Malley hasn't got a prayer.

Did anyone happen to notice that her email username was "hdr22", as in Hillary Diane Rodham?

mikee म्हणाले...

I lived in Baltimore when O'Malley was mayor. He decreased the crime rate by redefining the reporting process for criminal activity.

You can have that sort of clown as a presidential candidate if you want him, but keep him far away from me.

Bushman of the Kohlrabi म्हणाले...

Lazlo, I admit I've never been a big fan of your style. However, you've definitely upped your game on this thread. Keep up the good work!

Skyler म्हणाले...

That is NOT the Longhorns' "Hook 'em." That is American Sign Language, "I Love You."

Skyler म्हणाले...

I'm going to repeat a rumor that I have no basis for: Hillary fell and often wears sunglasses because she's an alcoholic.

Mary Beth म्हणाले...

The sleeveless shirt acceptable, but should have a Drop Kick Murphys logo.

Maybe he's afraid they hate him too.

Virgil Hilts म्हणाले...

If O'Malley decides to run against Hillary, he should insist that at least one of the debates be in swimsuits --

(this is a polar plunge; if he wasn’t such a liberal weenie, you might mistake him for a real man)

Ctmom4 म्हणाले...

I cannot stand Martin O'Malley. He is a doofus,and a nasty one at that. A doofus with a goofy face who thinks he is hot. Please.spare us. I think I'd rather hate on Hillary for two years. Maybe Biden/O'Malley - dumb and dumber.

Ctmom4 म्हणाले...

Although, Andrew Cuomo as the candidate may make me want to shoot myself, also. That voice! OMG, I would wish to be deaf.

Lydia म्हणाले...

About the drunk Hillary meme-in-waiting -- it was the NY Times reporter who covers Hillary no less who said on the record to ABC News on February 21:

Hmm. She likes to drink. We were on the campaign trail in 2008 and the press thought she was just taking shots to pander to voters in Pennsylvania. Um, no.

Drago म्हणाले...

mikee: "I lived in Baltimore when O'Malley was mayor. He decreased the crime rate by redefining the reporting process for criminal activity"

He'd fit right in this administration:

Non-crimes Saved and/or Created!

Beldar म्हणाले...

I've posted a number of comments on this blog recently in which I've cast opprobrium upon public opinion polls as being worthless facsimiles of their sponsors' wishes. Yet:

If you took a meaningful poll of American voters tonight, I doubt that 3% of them could identify Martin O'Malley's party or state of origin.

If this is the best the Democratic Party can offer as an alternative to Hillary/Biden/Fauxcahontas, then I expel my anaerobic waste gases in their general direction.

Martin O'Malley? Really?

Mitt Romney would chortle.

Todd Roberson म्हणाले...

Opprobrium AND anaerobic waste gas in one comment.

Laslo ... Your move ...
