The votes have been cast and tallied and manipulated by Diebold, then reviewed by Nino Scalia who awarded the win to George W. Bush which was then overruled by me and now we have a winner(s) in our Bring Out Your Dead Breitbart Pix contest thing and …. we have two winners because they were so damn close in the totals that it was only fair to declare them both winners because of … socialism? Yeah, okay, that works.
To the surprise of no one, at least those who can count (which excludes Megan McArdle), the wieners are BartCatCopter submitted by newdealfarmgrrrlll (with a creative assist from laura):
and Breithilda submitted by Blue Gal :
…who will no doubt be accused of being sexist, misogynistic, sizeist, and probably anti-Semitic because, you know, Wagner. Blue Gal can totally lord this over her husband, driftglass. Yeah, now who’s wearing the pants in the family,
buddy? That’s right. Now move that cute little butt of yours out to the kitchen and make her a sammich.
Anyway, prizes will be shipped this week and congratulations to all, including those who didn’t win because you not only have the bad taste to make fun of dead people but you probably made Steve Almond cry.
And that makes you a winner in my book …

I WANT NO. 7!!!!!
But these iz KUHL! Equally offensive on every possible level – they haz made TBOGG teh best!
I’m so honored! And driftglass ALREADY moved his lovely fanny out to the kitchen and made me a sammich, because, war on women. driftglass sez since both winners are women, he can’t even do the math on that, but that somehow we chicks will have to split the 77 cents on the dollar that we would have won if we were men.
Except that APPARENTLY HONEY — men can’t photoshop Breitbart. Or win contests. :D
PS thanks TBogg. It was way fun and your commenters are for the most part a lovely bunch.
YAY!!! I voted for Breitbart In Teh Brass Bra. Twice, at least, I think. Congrats.
Huzzah! Breitbart will never live down the humiliation.
Both were lovely, but I think it was the mouse in DeadCatBreitCopter’s right paw that pushed that one over the top.
Fraud!! Voter suppression! I personally voted for #7 123,647 times. All I can say, BUDDY, is expect James O’Queef in your driveway with his camera any time now. Are you even a citizen, anyway?
ME TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I was clicking through some Hollywood fashion site last night where an actress’s face was poorly photoshopped onto runway models’ poses. Whoever did that could have used a lesson from any of the entries here. These entries were seamless, perfect. The Hollywood “serious” try was bleeech. They couldn’t even get head/body proportions correct. Yay for
TBoogersTBoggers.You know, it’s customary to thank the little people.
Hurrahs for the winners. Hurrahs also for TBogg for having one of the wittiest and most creative political blogs on teh Web. More contests!!
I sense Diebold was involved in this voting! 8p
Naw, they were great entries. Congrats to the winners! And the fact that you all pissed off some whiny pretend aging hippy is a bonus! Basset pics for everyone!
Chicken Costume bias is an American tragedy.
Good luck to the winners. Enjoy those tasty chips.
::happydancehappydancehappydance::
i’m so glad it was a tie because i love breithilda. The idea for breitbart’s dead face on dead helicopter cat was laura’s, i started chortling the moment she suggested it. *MWAH* laura, i love your demented sense of humor.
And the biggest thanks go to tbogg & his commenters, for the contest and the snark.
They all were funny. It was a tough choice.
Yeah, more contests! More contests!
“Everybody is not a winner” ≠ “Not everybody is a winner.”
Because someone won, the first proposition is false. Because someone did not win, the second proposition is true. Q.E.D.
Despite the obvious strain on the judges’ mental health, we really should have contests around here more often. This one was particularly rich. Thanks to all who entered. And to the winners, I can only say: does this make up for only getting 77% of the prize a man would?
Oh My GAWD!!
The naivete in that piece is astounding.
The stupidity overwhelming.
The narcissism tragic.
At all times it must be remembered that Steve Almond is the perfect example of “Liberalism” in America. You know that because he quit his job as a professor over the choice of commencement speaker and wrote about it on the internet.
Watch as Almond becomes a regular on “Fox & Friends”.
the chance to mash together a dead breitbart, a dead helicoptercat, a dead rodent and finish by tacking a big fluffy aerodynamically inappropriate tail onto his butt was PRICELESS.
Steve who?
It’s a wonderful tail. Especially on BreitCatCopter.
I would like to congratulate the winners for their shocking lack of empathy and respect for the dead. You’re an inspiration to us all. /s
Hellslittlestangel @9: Very nice people here.
Teddy Partridge @17: See comment number 2. You and my husband think alike.
EvilDrPuma @22: I have to admit, somebody has to be an absolute colossal dick during their life for me to abandon my “respect for the dead” once they’ve passed on. Fortunately for me, Breitbart qualified.
And I did want to congratulate you personally newdeafarmgrrlll, yours was THE ONE that made me laugh hardest.
Well deserved by both artists. Huzzah.
Congratulations, newdealfarmgrrlll, laura, and blue gal! (oh, blue gal, so many opportunities to snark on driftglass, for sooo long).
All of you, brilliant, just brilliant. And also, what gnome said as to your ‘shopping skills.
This has been hilarious, even though I wound up too busy to read all the comments on the original post…read enough, anyway.
And may I say, buffing my fingernails, my choice won! What can I say, I’m known for my good taste (in snark).
A good ending for the weekend.
Thanks for this, TBogg. Makes up for the absence of Friday Night Random Ten (Krugthulu is stepping in, to an extent; music video, no Shakira’s ass).
Funny!
I didn’t or couldn’t finish the piece. Taught at BC. I’ve sent that school quite a few greenbacks for them to have such shitwits on the faculty.
well conceived; well executed. congratulations
AMAZING stuff for someone that slithered in the mud….. BlueGal never ceases to amaze with her Photoshop kills… No wonder she and Driftglass always have great graphics all over the place !
Congrats BG.
Congrats to Blue Gal and newdealfarmgrrrlll/laura!
And what a great collection of entries! You people are way too talented.
“well executed”
Ixnay on the assassinationway.
It was due to natural causes. (wink, wink)
Congrats to NDFG and BG!!! And many thanks to TBogg for the great contest.
I call fraud. Bluegal’s long form birth certificate is a fake. Fraudulent I say. That font was not available in 1972. She was born in Old Europe in sosulisht Sweden. Furthermore, she only had horns on Breitbart. She didn’t even have a swastika on his arm and,well, where is my princess sparkle pony anyway?
Congratulations to the winners! Also too, more contests!
Ahhh many lulz were had…..and breitbart? He still dead. The universe, though still headed for cosmic uncertainty, is a little better for that. Now if the undead Cheney would just join him….(after paying off his boatload of karma first, that is.)
Kudos to the winners. A good time was had by almost all.
Huzzah! My number one and two choices! BartCatCopter made me laugh again.
I voted for Breithilda! I feel so special.
Good Lord, the Steve Almond column is like an extended Ed Grimly bit:
“Oh, how pure can I possibly be, how pure must I be, how pure should I be? Oh! It’s difficult to say, sometimes I think I must be going mental, I must say.”
And on and on and on.
Congrats to the winners, and I envy you your photoshopping prowess, as well as your sumptuous chips and salsa prize baskets.
Very happy with the winners. I voted for Breithilda so I’m especially glad about that one. However, ever since I saw that picture, I’ve got “Kill the Wabbit” stuck in my head. What can I say? I watched too much Bugs Bunny as a kid.
Congrats to both winners. I voted for BartCatCopter for first and BartHilda for 2nd, so I was pleased that they both won.
Funny thing is, I laughed out loud when I saw BartCat and didn’t even know why it was as funny as it is. So that’s pretty damn funny, huh?
Also too, the whole voting thread that got hijacked by the anti-Barry O troll was hours of fun and amusement all by its ownself. All in all, a very entertaining tbogg weekend.
I believe you voted for Helicopter Cat Breitbart. What changed your mind?
Elmer: O Bwunhilde, you’we so wuvwee!
Bugs: Yes, I know it, I can’t help it…
So I help train our local roller derby league. Last night we were doing a jumping drill where you skate around the track and jump over a teammate who is lying across the track. Asking for volunteers, I said without thinking, “Okay, who wants to be the breitbart?”
Blank stares.
The Tboggerization of our discourse continues.
NDFG!!!
Loo Hoo!
You cannot watch too much Bugs Bunny, as a kid or an adult.
Bravo…both deserved to win. Dammit, was sailing for the last 5 days off the Maine coast and had no access to the internet, so I missed the vote. Bummer (not really).
