Fun With Play-Dough

What are Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dumb so happy about? According to all the latest polls, George has an approval rating somewhere south of 30%, and even though he is a yummy fundraiser for McCain, the two can’t be seen together in public too much. That’s a problem, especially since McCain is in dire need of that money. Oh well, just keep it up with all those fundraisers-behind-closed-doors. More backdoor politics, more secrecy, and more Twilight Zone moments like these; in case we forget what we’re in for if McCain wins the general election. Something wicked is coming our way…

I don’t often feel the need to say: “I told you so”, but the recent developments surrounding Hagee and his no longer welcome endorsement of McCain are anything but a surprise.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy his true colors are finally becoming visible to the public, but I have to ask: why has it taken this long? It took me about fifteen minutes of on-line digging to find proof that he is an Anti-Semite.
I’m equally happy it is still unacceptable to say nice things about Hitler; still, I have to wonder, why is it apparently okay to say nasty things about Catholics, or gays? Isn’t it, ultimately, just a different side of the same hateful coin?

It makes it clear the McCain campaign is picking and choosing whose support they’ll accept based on what’s popular, or politically correct. Hating Gays is okay with most people; we’ve seen that again and again. But by ignoring Hagee’s overt disdain for anybody different from him, and ignoring the fact that somebody that hateful is probably lying when he claims to be pro-Jewish, you set yourself up for fall-out later. I know, it’s politics as usual, so here goes:

“I told you so”.
Now let’s hope Israel gets on board and stops Hagee’s tainted money flow; we don’t need money from someone who believes Hitler did us a favor.

Michelle Obama is getting a little too much attention from the Republicans, and one has to wonder a couple of things. First of all, this was a stupid ad. Don’t the Repu’s have anything better, or are they just saving it for later? Are they trying to lull us to sleep?

Second, why does Obama feel he has to defend his wife? If there’s one thing that’s clear to anybody with a pair of eyes, it’s this: Michelle Obama can stand up for herself. Barack should know that Michelle can’t be thrown under anybody’s bus; she will stop that bus, beat the crap out of whoever is driving it, get behind the wheel herself, and drive it all the way to the White House.

Third, how come everybody is surprised? We’ve been making fun of Cindy McCain, Laura Bush, Barbara Bush, and Lynn Cheney for years; Hillary got her ass kicked every day that Bill was in office. Suddenly, now that Michelle is the target, it’s different? It’s nothing new, a far as I’m concerned. Annoying, yes, I’ll give you that.

Something else I’m wondering: when the hell is McCain going to shut up about Obama’s supposedly fuzzy feelings for Iran? Please! He’s starting to sound like that really irritating kid in high school that always invents non existent crushes for others. Give it a rest, write a new speech, or go take a nap, anything but this! Jesus!

Song Bush was humming after his speech today: “It’s my White House and I’ll lie if I want to”. Seriously, what are the speechwriters thinking? Oh, we’re in Israel, Israel means Jews, and Jews shit their pants when you invoke Hitler’s name?

As a matter of fact, we don’t. George must not have heard about Telushkin’s 614^th commandment: “Thou shalt not grant Hitler any posthumous victories”. That includes not letting anyone bully us into turning our backs on Obama. What, did you think we’d roll over and play ball when faced with your stupid propaganda? Besides, if the Nazis had had their way, there would not be anybody like Obama on the planet.

Thanks; Bush, for trying to score a victory over the backs of six million victims. Asshole. But we’re not falling for it.  As if we needed any additional reminders that George Bush is the biggest wanker to ever have walked the capitol. If I were McCain, I’d place a phone call to George and tell him to shut up. On second thought: keep it up. We can use an easy victory in November. Then we can pull the troops out of Iraq and use the money for all the collective therapy we’ll need to forget about the past eight damn years.

Say it loud and say it proud: Jews for Obama! 

How to make a decision once and for all:

• Has anybody ever doubted the fairness of playing “eenie-meenie-minie-mo”? (how the hell do you spell that, anyway?)
• A Zoolander-style Walk-off, televised in real time
• Mud wrestling. Seriously; Let’s see how that pant suit holds up.
• Political Jeopardy; the public can design the questions
• Tequila
• Monopoly Marathon
• Three-way staring contest
• Very High Stake Poker  
• Pin the tail on the donkey; use Cheney for the donkey.  Rename it “shoot the donkey”.
• Go Fear Factor; have Andrew Zimmern pick the menu. Don’t tell them the rules. Whoever is stupid enough to eat that rare Thai regurgitated Scorpion dish does not get the Presidency.
• Take a key to the White House, encase it in cement and drop to on the bottom of Lake Pontchartrain. Finder’s keepers.
