The Handwriting is On the Wall

There's something funny about this picture of the Ohio judge who on Tuesday threw out Ohio's death penalty procedure. But I can't quite put my finger on it...

Thanks to John Hinderaker.

4 Y'know, it's one thing for hipster kids (or aging Gen Xers) to wear and display Che stuff. But this old judge? Presumably he's educated enough to not be ignorant of Che's true history.

5 I think it's the pink tie, the goatee, and the BFF ring where a wedding band ought to be. As IreneFingIrene says, waf.

6 Wonder what the judge would think about the death penalty procedure endorsed (and practiced!) by Che?

waf = We're All Fucked. It was coined in a comment here a couple weeks back.

9 Actually, rather than pink, I think that the tie is more along the lines of lavender or mauve.

Which is even more ghey.

I hope someone files an ethics complaint on that picture alone.

17 Ah yes, Che was a tireless opponent of the death penalty.

Is there a TIP LINE? Because this is completely unrelated, but worth posting somewhere. Here is a good link dissing the hell out of Gore, and linking AGW to the insane price of gas. It's by the guy who founded the Weather Channel, though, so obviously he's just a shill for Exxon.

Well maybe he just really enjoys posters in the socialist propaganda style for the, uh, kitchy irony.

But I doubt it.

Posted by: Maetenloch at June 13, 2008 12:26 PM (kHYr0)

22 I understand that bullets are relatively inexpensive and you just feel a little pinch and then not a fucking thing. Judge should be okay with that, afterall Che didn't have a problem with that method.

Posted by: cranky at June 13, 2008 12:26 PM (ETNoC)

23 Maybe he only approves of the death penalty, when it's carried out at Che's own hands, without due process?

Still, how somebody could admire both Che and Obama, when the latter hasn't even committed any murders (that we know of), is puzzling. He must have high hopes for Our Barry.

25 Just for fun, imagine the outrage from the commies left if conservatives displayed posters on the wall or walked around in T-shirts with Senator Joseph McCarthy's image.

27 I give USA Today a great deal of credit for running a picture that so succinctly tells "the story behind the story."

As the great network executive Francis X. Cross once said: "I think they'll like it in the heartland."

Posted by: The Chap in the Deerstalker Cap at June 13, 2008 12:32 PM (j02xJ)

Is that picture from the Judge's office? It seems a pretty clear cut case that a Communist-supporting Judge is inherently biased.

Posted by: Sydney Carton at June 13, 2008 12:32 PM (nWYwS)

29 In an election year, this doesn't exactly help Obama in Ohio.

"Lorain County Common Pleas Judge James Burge..."

Small fry LLL.

"The ruling is likely be appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court."

Probably more than "likely."

34 Want to know the truly amazing part? When I knew Jim Burge 20some years ago we were both part of the Lorain County Republican party and at one point he was the county chairman. If his father was still alive he'd kick his ass.

Posted by: Circa (Insert Year Here) at June 13, 2008 01:02 PM (B+qrE)

Nice photoshop, it would be better if the picture of Obambi included a woman like the cover of a romance novel with Obambi and Che heads pasted on. Needless to say Obambi's head would go on the woman. Or you could fullfill Lorain County Common Pleas Judge James Burge's deepest desire and pshop him into a threeway with Obama and Che. Something tells me that after a long day of legislating from the Bench Judge Dickweed likes to go back to the office, turn on some Airsupply, stare at his posters and dream of someday going off to someplace exotic and having himself a little revolution. In his pants. Although I'm pretty sure he would settle for taking his evil Cartman facial hair to Club Med and getting a handjob from a cabana boy.

41 I think Obama would be a nice fit to be put into the Che poster as well. He has that "looking towards the future" pose down pat.

42 I wish the Weather Channel guy were my shill. I need all the help I can get, these days. Let's face it, even that cute little Senator from Illinois with the bicycle helmet loves his private jet full of tasty kerosene. And once he's running the White House I can guarantee you he won't light it with candles made of mung bean oil. I'm used to the hate, but it's tough for an evil, nefarious corporate octopus, addicted to petroleum. These asshats in Congress won't even let us drill our own wives.

I've never understood Che's high status with progressives. He committed a mere fraction of the murders compared to their other icons.

Beautifully stated. On the other hand, they do seem to admire failures and frauds in general so, you know, Che's got that goin for him.

Che to the Bolivians- "Wait, I can be of use to you."

Bolivians- "That's nice. Up against the tree, bitch."

Posted by: Aubrey at June 13, 2008 02:00 PM (wiJ0S)

51 Che would be totally supportive of this person's decision. Che was fond of the bullet, either by firing squad or pistol. Not all of the thousands killed by Che and his followers (After the peasant rebellion of his policies in Cuba) were tortured before death.

Posted by: davod at June 13, 2008 02:01 PM (llh3A)

Can a bullet be classified a drug?

Great find.

Posted by: drjohn at June 13, 2008 02:03 PM (324mD)

53 Burge said he would give Obama a blowjob if Obama keeps abortion legal.

Posted by: drjohn at June 13, 2008 02:05 PM (324mD)

54 4: the problem is he's *too* educated to know about Che's history.

He suffers from elitism, and was likely afflicted by this terrible disease during his college years (probably initially sexually transmitted since all the chicks loved Che and, from there, it attacks the brain cause the only way this guy is getting laid is to tow the party line).

Posted by: ECM at June 13, 2008 02:29 PM (q3V+C)

55 You know, I don't know about y'all, but I'm thinking that opposing the death penalty for criminals while lauding it for dissenters and peasants just MIGHT be grounds for impeachment. Judges can be impeached, you know.

I mean, if that was a Hitler or Mao poster, is it philosophically that much different, apart from scale?

If an American JUDGE has a celebratory poster of a MASS MURDERER who HATED AMERICA on his wall, it's time to shine a little damned light onto him - and of course fire him.

58 *40 javaman Clearly, this is not the Jim Burge that you knew.

It's the same one, my parents still live up there and can't believe it either. I still remember the speech that got him elected party chair and he used to work summers during law school at the same company I did.

Thanks Sherlock, but I'll be damned if I give these morons my email address. I don't want my email stuffed full of ads for tranny porn and cheap vodka. I already buy the vodka, and (oddly enough) I'm not all that interested in tranny porn. I know, I know, I'm missing out on the full AoSHQ lifestyle, but I'll be sure to machetitize an extra hobo to make up for it.

Posted by: The Atom Bomb of Loving Kindness at June 13, 2008 04:13 PM (zyrxg)

I know Jim Burge. He's a thoughtful flower of a man. He would never accept the entire shaft of Barry's member. He's more of a "tip game" kind of guy.

He's coy like that.

Posted by: natesnake at June 13, 2008 04:24 PM (YcXTT)

62 Given what I know of my home state's judicial record in the past two decades or so.... That photo does not really surprise me. Ohio is in the shape it's in right now, limping along with high taxes, low growth, and population drain, because of leftards like him in high places. Al those Republicans who didn't vote for Ken Blackwell in '06 should punch themselves in the face right now.

Posted by: exdem13 at June 13, 2008 04:30 PM (fenBi)

Both the judge, and the condemned. Hanging's not cruel and unusual ... it is cruel, but very usual. It has about 200 years worth of usual behind it.
