Hussein X Accepts Your Nomination
I swear, every time you nip off to the store for a quart of milk, you come back to find that they’ve whooped up another one.
The Greek Temple thing has been wafting around the blogs for a little while, and it’s so far beyond the usual, day-to-day right-wing flapdoodle that it seems to have rendered John Hinderaker almost funny.* Now the GOP, apparently running low on ideas and messages or something, has taken it up as an actual complaint.
The ever-wise Jesse at Pandagon issues a plea:
Funkdaddy Supreme’s House O’ Speech
[...]
What is the proper method for such a presumptuous man as this to accept the nomination of his party? It’s obviously not in any way that a Republican would accept it, because the very acts of hubris that make a man like Obama a foppish dandy dippily doodling his way along to the Oval Office are tamed and converted into powerfully heterosexual normality by the sheer pulsating power of Reaganism. Shall Obama accept the nomination on an upscaled corner stoop, James Clyburn and Maxine Waters shuffling by with a curt, respectful head nod? Should the nomination of the first major party black candidate in America’s history happen in a gloriously reimagined welfare line, where a dolled-up John Kerry dressed as Uncle Sam hands him the welfare check of the $400,000 a year Presidential salary?
Please, you heartland patriots, design the Black Liberal’s Acceptance Speech. And don’t skimp on the Black Power salutes, either.

Ok, I haven’t even read the post yet, but I love you for using a pic from Idiocracy, which I just saw last weekend and at the time thought it wasn’t all that great of a movie, but which continues to crack me up every time I think about it.
Now I’ll go read the post.

Did you know there are people (real, actual people that I’ve talked to) who don’t like that movie?
At least two of them live right here in Indiana. It’s SHOCKING.
Also, I think that Jesse’s parachuting in from a blimp wearing an orange hat is a good idea as well.

If Assrocket is almost funny, it’s only because he’s quoting some unknown Republican humorist. Those toga pics were on McCain’s website.
Stress-free scholarship, it is.
Jennifer said,

Ferox - well, it’s not a great movie. A lot more could have been done with the premise. But there’s lots of little stuff in it that’s just hilarious.

Just put Obama in a flight suit and have him land in the fake helicopter used in Miss Saigon. There’s no irony that wingnuts can ever understand. However, it would make the wingnuts heads explode, if after the speech, during the midst of the five minutes of applause, Barack picks up one of the greek columns and carries it to the other side of the stage. No reason, he just does it. Huge huge laugh.

I [adjective deleted] swear, if I had the chance to ask McCain just one question it would be
face or gut“Do you actually believe that Barack Obama thinks of himself as Jesus or is your ‘The One’ ad just a big steaming pile of [adjective deleted] bullshit?”Actually I’d probably come up with a better question than that (such as “You say that your comment about 100 years in Iraq is taken out of context and that the important issue is casualties - in that case Senator McCain, how many more casualties until we can withdraw from Iraq”), but it’d make my top ten for sure.

Silly Wangchuck. Republicans are the only ones who are allowed to think they’re they’re the One True Savior and/or have a direct like to GodCo. Democrats who do that aren’t worthy of your vote.
It’s like how Republicans are automatically assumed to love America 1,049%. Democrats have to PROVE IT in the Ring of Trials, like when Kirk and Spock had to fight to the death.

He did not live in poverty as he claimed, and nor did the little bitch receive foodstamps, the damned liar. Food stamps was just an experiment back then. And have you all forgotten all the other things he has(n’t) done? Please! Give me a break. Lazy, damned do nothing liar is all that he is.

After what I’ve seen so far, a set of Parthenon-style columns are going to look pretty prosaic & mellow … I mean, I know politics is show-biz & all, but JEEZUS H. MURPHY, they really punched the “Glitz” button up to 12 for the Dems’ shindig. It smells expensive as hell & looks ugly.
Not smart. Not smart at all.
Anyone that really thinks the whole “Hollywood Awards Show” motif is going over like gangbusters out in West Palooka County needs to give their head a shake. Also a bit shudder-inducing to think how much they’re blowing on said shindig - either they really truly do have this race sewed up tighter than a nun’s hoo-hoo in January, or that’s a buttload of campaign moolah that could be used to take the other side out, being blown on a big fat circle-jerk.
I’d worry more about the price-tag on those columns than whether or not a few whiny wingnuts think they’re too pretentious. The last thing Dems need right now is to be giving off the image of pitching money around like a lumberjack who just cashed his paycheck - that’s throwing John Sidney Wet-Start The Third a life-preserver.

So far Michelle’s “Why I Love America and My Family” speech is topping the list on laughability, with Hillary’s stage managed submission coming in a close second. Wait a minute - is Jimmy Carter talking? It is to be amused.

I love ‘Idiocracy’ also. I never could figure out the Starbuck ‘hand job’ riff though.
And the movie is filled with ’so many little things’ that I just love. I sometimes watch it just to see the stage sets,,so much subtle detail went into the creation of the physical comedies.
And the fact that it received scant advertising makes me like it that much more. They really skewered Faux News. One of my fav parts are the newscasters from Faux. After showing the cleavage of the young pretty bubbleheadbleachblonde, they showed an over-the-hill on-the-scene reporter with middle-aged-cleavage spilling out.
Anyone want to help me out on the Starbuck thing?

DIRTY F***ING HIPPIES!!!” - they are reduced to whining about stage decor. Not that they aren’t trying to use the only tools they’re comfortable with to turn this thing around…did anyone else here read the pitiful press release they put out yesterday, about how this is the 40th anniversary of William Ayers’ arrest for protesting at the 68 Dem convention? The Obama campaign response was short and succinct - a picture of a 7-year-old Barack Obama playing baseball, with the one sentence riposte: “In 1968, Barack Obama was 7 years old.”
Which translates as, “get a life, old man.”

McCain is going to get his clock cleaned come debate time. And that is where these elections are decided, not the conventions.
The elections are decided via electoral votes. Al Gore won the debates and won the popular vote.

I don’t know what to say about “the debates”, because a lot of people in 2004 thought Bush Jr. did better than Kerry, and it took me a long time to understand that what they meant by “better” was “louder” — i.e., YOU TELL TONY BLAIR!!! YOU TELL TONY BLAIR!!! with Bush Jr. screaming at the moderator.
Apparently a lot of this country and maybe a majority of its punditocracy felt that type of Bush Jr. behavior was manly and passionate instead of an angry drunken caveman seizure.

Hey “Truth”: Instead of messing around with all the “Affirmative Action” bullshit; why don’t you just call Obama a “nigger” and be done with it? I mean, for the sake of brevity and all….

I wish this weren’t true, but debates really don’t count for shit. Virtually everybody who pays attention has already made up their mind; they’re just hoping to see their guy score some points off the other guy.
If debates really mattered, Kerry would’ve trounced Bush by 15 points in 2004.

That Negro Obama will be using a Greek Temple for his acceptance. What an arugula-chomping elitist!
Us heartland republicans will be doing a much better thing for my acceptance speech.
They are preparing a mock-up of the cell that I spent 5 1/2 years in. I will make my acceptance speech while shackled to the bed.
Take THAT, you lousy LIE-bruls!

“I am so looking forward to the GOP convention, when these dorkuses have to live through back-to-back nights of Bush and Cheney speeches.”
My media handlers/bosses have told me that there is this Innertubes tradition called “Shorter …..”.
I have seen the speeches my bosses - oops, my friends - George and Mr. Cheney have written. Here is the shorter version of them, so you LIE-bruls don’t have to sully our glorious convention by viewing it:
“Fear everything and everybody that isn’t white, especially uppity Negroes running for president. I wanna FEEL your fear and hatred!”

That’s right, eating cake with George “Helluva Job Brownie” Bush.
Maybe that Twin Cities crack was justified.

Sadly, the Architectural Digest coverage of the McCain Mansion
http://www.architecturaldigest.com/homes/features/archive/mccain_slideshow_072005?showall=true
shows that it was done in South-West “style”. The biggest accusation that can be levelled at them from the slide show is that they appear to have an inordinate fondness for folk art. Besides, they sold that dump for $12 million.
The double condo is at 2211 Camelback.

Which is of a much more modern design.
And I suspect that even Cindy McCain would draw the line at classical columns at the Sedona ranch.

Um, re the columns: As today is the 45th anniversary of MLK’s “I have a dream” speech, I rather suspect they’re meant to evoke the Lincoln Memorial.
But I suppose one can’t expect the Goopers to remember that since their guy is one of the people who voted against making King’s birthday a holiday ….

All I know is that I can’t wait for this great big concern circle jerk of media “coverage” of the DNC to end.
I’d rather have two FOX News style stations full of retard conservatives to contend with than the tremulous ignorance of MSNBC’s and CNN’s juvenile attempts at being journalists.

I think this has been conveyed already, but I find that a lot of comments work better if you de-euphemize them.

“Presumptuous.” This, from the party that created the “The Touch Of President Bush Healed This Child” advertisement.
(I wish I could claim credit for remembering that…but it was my wife.)

I think that was Putin, and it was about kissing boy’s bellies.

Doctorb, I think it was a reelection ad in 04 that had a woman saying that Bush touched her child and she was healed–that the kid had been depressed and uncommunicative after 9/11 or something like that. Man, I wish I could find it. Surely someone else remembers it, someone with better search-fu than me.

I thought the set was redolent of the White House.
Why is everybody obsessing over Obama’s ‘African-American’ selfness? Canadian media can’t shut up about it either. What a bunch of wankers, it’s really not that big a deal.
How about intelligence, determination, credentials, charisma, relative youth and a lack of spot-changing as we usually see, don’t those qualities count anymore?.
Doesn’t the fact that the guy is the best candidate for Prez to come down the pike in a long time mean anything? It sure does to me.
