I don’t remember ever seeing the shoe-bomber’s shoe.

Does this remind anyone else of Victoria’s Secret?

You just ruined my breakfast

It looks like he blasted the head off of a dove. This guy is not big into peace.

No more babies for you!

# 6 Animby said, on December 29th, 2009 at 12:25 am

Don’t mean to sound like a proponent of porn but, it’s his dick I wanna see.

What’s “Ow! My Balls!” in Yoruba? I mean, come on: 72 virgins, and nothing with which to schtup them? Great thinking – if you can call it that.

I love how they have the ruler at the bottom.

GOD DAMN IT! This guy stole my panties!

Brand; ‘Fruit of the Boom’ ?

# 11 Olo Baggins of Bywater said, on December 29th, 2009 at 4:45 am

After the long flights that guy took those babies are probably nasty!

Slightly OT…driving home listening to CNN on my XM last night, Larry King was interviewing Tom Ridge. I gotta say, he sounded very reasonable and and thinks Napolitano is doing a fine job. He said that only the most hyper-partisans would be concerned about her first statement on Saturday. He also says government culture is –and has long been– the issue. State Dept, FBI, CIA, they’ve always lived as need-to-know, and DHS requires ‘need-to-share.’ That’s where the system failed in his opinion.

@Faxon (#1), Here you go:

# 13 Jopie said, on December 29th, 2009 at 5:22 am

And why is there almost no news coverage about the man in expensive suit who got the crotchbomber on the plane without a passport?

“In a further twist, a Michigan lawyer, Kurt Haskell, has said he saw Abdulmutallab in the company of a well-dressed Indian man at the Northwest Airlines gate in Amsterdam.
The Indian man explained that his friend was Sudanese and did not have a passport. Later Mr Haskell recognised the man without the passport as the suspect.”

# 14 jim said, on December 29th, 2009 at 6:21 am

O-boy,It looks like some people are going to be suicided very soon. Kurt should have kept his mouth shut.

# 15 qb said, on December 29th, 2009 at 6:29 am

I think the virgins will be disapointed.

# 16 Jopie said, on December 29th, 2009 at 6:31 am

Googlenews-fight:

In the left corner with blue trunks:
871 newsitems with “Haskell”

And in the right corner with charred trunks:
40.884 newsitems with “Abdulmutallab”

# 17 Olo Baggins of Bywater said, on December 29th, 2009 at 6:39 am

Jopie, I’m going to guess an answer. Were this something the right-wing press could use they’d be all over it 24×7. But it’s not, it plays against their never-ending Obama attack.

Meantime (sic) the legitimate press is waiting for corroboration, typical of any responsible journalist. If they find a second witness then this story goes big.

# 18 jim said, on December 29th, 2009 at 6:46 am

Weren’t they suppose to have caught fire yet, no discoloration, no blood. Honestly, I could have staged a better false flag then this. Come on Al-CIA -DA your getting lazy. You need to hire some new people with fresh ideas.

Hey we agree for once, as a terrorist this guy isn’t very scary. I mean, he must’ve looked funny squirming around with his balls on fire, but as a terrorist he seems woefully inadequate. Even so, mainstream media is propping this guy up as the worst thing since 9/11, I’ve had foot fungus more dangerous than him. If the idea is to maintain the US public in a haze of fear to keep the war on terror going, then I guess it’s OK, or not.

# 20 yanikinwaoz said, on December 29th, 2009 at 8:00 am

#10 for the win!

# 21 Olo Baggins of Bywater said, on December 29th, 2009 at 8:04 am

amodedoma…it’s a slow news week. The regular media has nothing else right now, the right-wing media is using it as yet another way to demonize the black guy who won the presidential election last year.

# 22 Winston Smith said, on December 29th, 2009 at 8:07 am

That does not look like enough explosive to do crap. This must be a set up or he it gust a dum ass.

# 23 Faxon said, on December 29th, 2009 at 9:08 am

#12 Thanks.

# 24 Faxon said, on December 29th, 2009 at 9:11 am

#19 He DID start a fire in the cabin. I don’t think you guys would continue watching the in- flight movie if that happened. As John and Adam mentioned, this idiot should have set this stuff off in the toilet. Probably might have worked if he could have had more time and control of the chemicals.

# 25 chuck said, on December 29th, 2009 at 9:37 am

The headline on my local paper today:
“Carry-on bags banned on flights into U.S.”

Yes, that should fix it. You can’t bring a bag on board the plane – but you can still stuff your crotch with explosives.

Oh well, I guess the U.S. didn’t need international travelers any more.

# 26 John C Dvorak said, on December 29th, 2009 at 9:51 am

Jopie..the “no passport” was bullshit. This is well documented. Here is one report: http://modernghana.com/news/256651/1/nigerian-bomber-bought-ticket-in-ghana.html

ask yourself why whatever you’re reading is making up details. That guy in the suit thing is a real whopper.

Also where are the burn marks on the underwear? I thought the guy was on fire.

This whole thing stinks to high heaven.

# 27 jim said, on December 29th, 2009 at 9:54 am

God what next , are going to be given hospital gowns and ask to a except a rectal exam before flying.

# 28 chris said, on December 29th, 2009 at 10:01 am

A whole new meaning to “suspicious package.”

# 29 RSweeney said, on December 29th, 2009 at 10:17 am

I wonder if ABC will also commission an engineering study to tell the terrorists exactly how their bomb failed and some suggestions on how to do better next time.

Make a great prime time news hour.

# 30 McCullough said, on December 29th, 2009 at 10:19 am

Cripes, I’ve seen guys light their own farts and get a better result.

# 31 Jopie said, on December 29th, 2009 at 10:38 am

@JCD thanks for clarifying that.

Although i’m not completely convinced yet.
Indeed this whole thing stinks like dirty underwear on fire.

# 32 canucklehead said, on December 29th, 2009 at 1:27 pm

another goof up this guy did — if you want to bring down a plane over the US, why pick a border city like Detroit? This one was going to fall out of the sky in Canada, still 100km from the border.

# 33 sargasso said, on December 29th, 2009 at 2:17 pm

#26. JCD, From your link, http://bit.ly/8GA8MV , a congressman complained that the US had supplied money to Nigeria to improve airport security which had not been done. Knowing that airport, and Nigeria’s reputation, that cash is probably gathering interest in a Cayman Islands bank.

# 34 LOWER CASE SCREEN NAME said, on December 29th, 2009 at 3:12 pm

No plane has ever been bought down because of a man burying his face in a hot woman’s cleavage. As a preventative measure, I think the TSA should provide hot, busty women for every man on a flight.

Johnny…Johnny…Johnny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Johnny, did you find the link in #26 on your own or did you go to a right–wing blog? You must have spent a lot of time trying to find a link that would discredit the main stream media and the (Obama’s) government.

I suggest you wait a bit longer for the facts to come out before posting a link to a site that does not exactly inspire one with confidence. (Note: The facts on the site may be correct, but I would have posted some sites that would have inspired a tad more confidence.)

As for your “burn” remarks; Jasper Schuringa received injuries when he jumped on the bomber. Based on news’ reports the injuries were BURNS.

In my opinion, there are two reasons why you do not see extensive burn marks on the underwear:

1. The fire was very localized.
2. The flight crew (with help from Schuringa)
quickly put out the fire with a fire extinguisher. This kept the fire from spreading (see #1).

# 36 Olo Baggins of Bywater said, on December 29th, 2009 at 4:11 pm

#32 canucklehead… Normally they land at DTW from the southwest or northeast.

# 37 Animby said, on December 29th, 2009 at 5:11 pm

My fear is this will inspire more Nigerians to crave their 15 minutes of fame. So, what I suggest is we apply butane flames to his weenie until he can barely pee through it. Then we send him home. We claim his injuries were caused by his own actions and buying a bomb at the Yemen Wal-Mart. He tells everyone in Nigeria how if you terrorize America you lose your peepee.

Obama does a fine job of that himself. As for the main stream media…are you fucking serious? How old are you…..11? Does mommy realize you’re not in bed?

# 39 Special Ed said, on December 29th, 2009 at 6:24 pm

Is that a panty shield?

# 40 canucklehead said, on December 29th, 2009 at 7:12 pm

#36 Olo — crash would have happened somewhere between Grand Bend and Petrolia, Ont.

I guess only the last minute or two the plane is over US soil.

# 41 Olo Baggins of Bywater said, on December 30th, 2009 at 6:20 am

#40, thanks. That day I drove past the airport at about 11:15 am…winds were strong from the south IIRC, which shifted the landing from the more common SW approach.

# 42 Obamaforever said, on December 30th, 2009 at 9:58 am

Dear Tea Bagger,

Tomas, I see that you are still fighting mental health.

bye, Bagger
