Senator Barack Obama was supposed to appear on SNL tonight … but he’s canceled his appearance because of the severity of Hurricane Ike.
And I wanna sit here and give Obama some shit about this, like, “What the fuck else do you have to do that night? You’re not actually the President. Are you gonna head over to Florida and pilot the rescue ‘copter?”
But then I thought about it and it probably would look awful if people’s houses were flooding down South and Barack Obama was wandering around a soundstage in Manhattan in a wig and a Speedo (I’m just guessing here) so I’m giving him a pass on this one.
My thoughts and prayers go out to those of you affected by the hurricane.
What a wuss…….trying to beat McCain to the punch, to make himself look good.
Who cares about him? He doesn’t do anything to help anyone. He’s just too lazy to recite his lines on the show, so he says he’s not doing it because of the hurricane.
What about the people who died in the L.A. train accident? Maybe he shouldn’t run for Prez anymore.
Dave Matthews Band?
the only thing i would say about DM band is that the only cool looking guy in their band is now dead.
Where have you been?! You never said if you came back from vacation or not so i’m very confused. Is this the original person thats insanely funny with her dogs, or is it someone else? Haha
oh that sux. i was totally looking forward to seeing him ham it up on SNL…boooooooo
but crash into me is such a good song. and i totally loved dave matthews when he guested on house.
told you guys he’s a waffler. mccain has never backed out of an SNL appearance.
The hurricane is going to hit Texas, not Florida Beet.
If you do decide to give Barack shit about canceling SNL, please be sure to say Texas, not Florida. I am in Florida right now and trust it is still the SUNSHINE state. Hurricane Ike missed Florida (a week ago) dear, its hitting Texas right now.
How dare you talk about DMB joan…. you wll be forever damned…I mean banned to hell.
censorthis….you’re already damned to hell so you’re good.
yeah, but its the same reason they cut back (and almost postponed) the RNC a few weeks ago. its the same thing.
mccain would have backed out under the circumstances aswel
I want to add Censorthis and TSS to my myspace ~ stupid anonymity!
thanks for your prayers beet and everyone else
at least michael phelps will come through for me on a bad day
then again, seeing obama might have made me want to go sit in the flood waters of my whole entire town and just die there so i suppose he’s giving me a gift too
it was the right thing to do.
i never got the dmb. but i thought it was funny when they dumped poo on people.
@hilary: take care! positive thoughts and prayers coming your way.
I am bummed too Beet. I was really looking forward to it but it definitely makes more sense for him to be down south.
Wonder how we will pay for this disaster??
hi beet,
trying to follow the rules. here is my email address – will that and a pledge to:
solemnly promise to never praise the dmb, avoid profanity – unless it is to type motherfuckers at people who bother me ;-) , never spam or advertise child porn, and never accuse you of censorship,
keep my posts from being moderated?

re: karma
i’d be honored to be part of your myspace group. i’m a real slut for attention. just give me a secret word or something and i’m there baby.
I don’t understand this asinine rule that Beet has about the Dave Matthews Band, but I do realize that it is HER blog and that I should respect that…..so there’s only one thing to do…
We have to find a secret code word for the Dave Matthews Band…one that the Beet will NEVER figure out…hmmmm….
I got it!
From now on Dave Matthews band will be known as the “Canadians”. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
I for one LOVE those fucking Canadians…
I don’t understand a word they’re saying, but they got soul, and I lost my virginity to them….. so it’s all good.
Um Shelly = betch. Um hello, I’m sorry he has some respect for the tragic events that just occured/are occuring. You’re probably just upset because McCain is too dumb to learn the 3 lines he’d need to know to appear on SNL, and hence why he won’t be there.
I saw fucking Canadians in florida TWICE….
I have pictures to prove it!
ok, tss.
re; tss
i was just in canada. they hate dave matthews there. i asked. the only thing i wish is that beet consider hating jack johnson and banning him. the only difference between jack johnson and dave matthews is that johnson surfs instead of getting drunk and stumbling around hotel room halls trying to find his room, ala dave matthews. oh wait, that makes dave matthews way more better.
much better :)
He’s afraid of looking like an even bigger idiot, the chicken!!!
Sorry you’ll miss him beet, knowing how you love him so!
FLIP FLOPPA OBAMA is in idiot superstar
what the efff NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was supposed to be the highlight of my weekend!
THANKS for the prayers! houston really is destroyed.. and are neighborhood is just destroyed..
i think he did the right thing by gettion out of the show! i was so exited to watch him tho! but i we then again have no power..
we have our trusty olee lap top :D
yikes!. I think if I hear or see of this man anymore, I shall just puke all over meself!!…I am SOOOO over this F-A-K-E “politician”!!!!……..
noone’08
doesn’t anybody else notice Obama looks a little more um, GRAY than usual in this pic?
i can’t believe he’s not gonna be on. i heard he had some really great jokes about christians in kenya killing each other and other hilarious stuff about his family background! damn.
America is too corrupt and too stupid to vote in Obama. You guys deserve and will get McCain/Palin. Enjoy them suckers!
dp, you may be right, but be careful how you say it.
DP, you don’t have to me so mean about it, but I agree.
If the U.S. votes in the old geezer and a small town/small state local politician to run our country while Putin is steadily engineering another cold war from his own sidelines, then I guess we deserve what we get.
Just like the idiots that helped vote Bush in for another 4 years so that we could continue on the downward spiral. What makes me sad is thinking about the soldiers that had to die because voters don’t research their candidate’s stands and the people that had to lose their homes because Bush didn’t take the time to pay attention to what was going on in the economy.
I guess “we” as Americans deserve it, but “we” as people sure don’t.
