And Rain in the comments thread writes…

I went to the Daily Oklahoman website to see what they were saying about the Seattle basketball team moving to OKC, and this was on the front page. The animated ad trotted out from the right side and landed right on Jesse’s mug. All I did was take a screenshot and add the text in the gray box at the bottom.

The Daily Oklahoman website is here, and I just went and a dancing chicken trotted out to invite me to a celebration of Helms’ death too. Hilarious. The Daily Oklahoman invites you to “sign the guestbook.” Click through the link and you’ll find exactly two remembrances: “To a great man who kept to his conservative ideals. You will be missed,” and, “REST IN PEACE JESSE HELMS.” You can submit your own remembrance but there’s also this note at the bottom of the page: “Entries are free and are posted after being reviewed for appropriate content.” I just submitted “Jesse Helms was a hateful piece of shit.” We’ll see if it goes up. In the meantime, though, why not go submit your own remembrance?

5. I'm not sure what cracks me up more

The fact that the ad "trotted out" or the mascot waving.

Either way, I got quite a laugh picturing the whole scenario unfolding.

9. Neal Horsley at it again, eh?

[JackBeck]

12. That was vile.

If Jesse was still legislating, I'm sure he'd find a way to blame the LGBT community.

15. Bwahahaha! Considering that the Daily Disappointment

is as rightwing a rag as you could possibly find, this is delicious!

Maybe there's a hidden liberal among the staff with a sense of humor?
