The Obama Orgasm: Herbal Essence, You’ve Got Nothing on This
I believe in self-torture. That’s why I watch MSNBC.
Brian Williams, Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Tim Russert, and Tom Brokaw joined forces, looking all ruddy and sweaty, to celebrate the uber victory of the now presumptive Democrat nominee Barack Obama.
Adjacent to where Walter Mondale announced his defeat in 1984, Barack Obama announced his victory over Hillary Clinton. The response from the Obama cable network was….well, predictable - a sad parade of sycophantic pathetics.
On a personal note, I tire of my previous generation’s unrepentant pining for the fake glory of the 1960s.
In the midst of the excitement, Brian Williams seems to have caught a bit of the Dan Rather bug, SNL style. After a bout of immeasurable fluffery, cogent to only the most gratuitous of forgiving of viewers, Williams concludes comparing the current political climate to that of “Kennedy v. Ike”.
Except, well, John F. Kennedy ran for president against Richard Nixon, after Eisenhower was term limited and waiting to be retired. Ike was playing golf. Kennedy stole Chicago.
Being in a forgiving mood, I will just presume that Williams was still panting over the Obama victory and was grasping to assemble syllables.
Silly. But so is the coverage of the Barack Obama’s campaign. He is a socialist, at best. His compatriots are detestable, at best. He makes good speeches, and promotes either a) nothing, or b) public proposals that consider our constitutional freedoms no more necessary than the add-on suspension option on the about-to-be-discontinued GM Hummer.
I do not want a replay of the 1960s, which is what seems to be the goal of Obama’s media benefactors. America deserves better than a retread. No matter how good he sounds, that is exactly all that Barack Obama is.

This random comment I ran across while browsing this morning seems to sum it all up (apologies to the host with respect to his often nefarious profession).
“We in Europe cannot figure out why you Americans are even bothering to hold an election. On one side, you have a bitch who is a lawyer, married to a lawyer, and a lawyer who is married to a bitch who is a lawyer. On the other side, you have a true war hero married to a woman with huge breasts who owns a beer distributorship. Is there a contest here?”

When Tim Russert, appearing on last night’s NBC nightly news liberal lovefest, pronounced media myth Obama the dem winner, you would have thought he was having an orgasm. His face was flushed, his breath was panting and his eyes were sparkling. I expected him to rip off his coat to reveal a shirt with a picture of the savior Obama with a halo.
I turned off NBC forever.

Jimmy - your sexism makes me puke. That quote is disgusting: so females in public life are either a) bitches, or b) women with huge breasts?
And what is the quoted commenter’s view of American voters? Men with beer guts ogling women’s breasts?
Yee-haw.

Now Catherine… it was just a humorous and somewhat fitting political caricature of the players and their wives.
You women are just so touchy about things.
