So I was thinking, maybe it’s time to do what all the other guys are doing. Colin Powell, Ken Adelman, Douglas Kmiec, Christopher Hitchens … OK, he’s just going back where he came from … Charles Fried, Francis Fukuyama, Chuck Hagel, Bruce Bartlett kind of, Bill Weld, Lincoln Chafee, Scott McClellan, Christopher Buckley … damn, there’s a lot of them. Looking at that very long list of august names, considering where we stand at this important portal in history, I think the question anyone at all progressively minded should be asking is … hey Condi, why don’t you grow a set?
You know what Mom always said, if everyone else was jumping off a cliff …. But maybe it is time, right now, in 2008, to do what everyone else is doing. Shrug, say what the heck, get on the Bush-bashing wagon … you have to admit, that does look like fun … and finally acknowledge what the deep booming voice from that opening in the clouds with all the blinding rays of light has been telling us. Obama is the Anointed One.
Heh. OK, Jules ain’t David Burge (aka Iowahawk) but he’s pretty danged good today. You could do a lot worse…

Saw a couple of those HOPE signs with Obama's mug on them coming back through Michigan. First thing that came to mind was:

ReplyDeleteLord help us all....
Pat: Vanderleun did a post on the artist that created this particular poster and the guy supposedly took his inspiration from old commie propaganda/art of the '50s. I'd give ya a link to the specific article but I'm too lazy to do the googling. I'm sure it was this year, though.
ReplyDeleteCynthia: Lord help us all, indeed!
Over at Daniels Big Trip http://danielsbigtrip.blogspot.com/ he posted some pics of Obama and some of Hitler both with similar campaign promises. Daniel's more liberal readers were outraged and he removed the photos.
ReplyDelete"Anointed?" For what?
ReplyDeleteBush is easy to lambast. Look what has happened on his watch. The part that orks me the most is that we knew he was a liar before Iraq. Well, duh, fellow travelers. Now we're about to be suckered in by another one. Sigh.
I thought practice was supposed to make us perfect?
"Anointed?" For what?
ReplyDeleteCat... you need to get out more. He IS the Messiah, doncha know.

Ya mean Libs can go on about Bu$hitler for freakin' YEARS and they get upset over some pictures? I couldn't get the link to work, btw. But that's OK, coz my Vanderleun link is bad, too. Takes ya to Melanie Phillips place, and I'm too lazy to fix it.
I'm just sayin' here, but if you want to fight the allegation that you're a fascist/socialist at heart, you ought to avoid the trappings.
ReplyDeleteThat picture elicits an emotional response that doesn't redound well to the candidate that wants to (at least until after the election) position himself as a moderate.

ReplyDeleteNot with the younger crowd who have little to no historical context, methinks. But to those of us "of a certain age?" Makes MY skin crawl...
