You’re right. I had forgotten about it, being too busy laughing at all the other stuff.

I think you also have to take into account that he outlasted that trope once already in the primaries. It’s hard to put back out what you’ve already taken back in.

You heard it just after the election from some quarters, but it died a quick rebirth-death.

That is the Thing, and the whole of the Thing. What we’re seeing is just the cognitive dissonance playing out – conservatives cannot lose, therefore one or more of the following:
- Obama didn’t win,
- Obama is secretly a conservative.
- McCain isn’t a conservative,

I think the first two of those account for the better part of current wingnutitude. The third, not so much, because McCain isn’t all that interesting.

Their side lost the election.

I was interested in finding out what it felt like to carry a gun

That’s some valut copy psychology right there.

I couldn’t help but recall from E.M. Forster’s Maurice that, while attempting to “treat” Maurice for homosexuality, the hypnotist/psychologist encouraged him to think of pretty women and carry around a gun.

“It’s simply the right thing to do.”

Ew. That was a perfectly good phrase! Now it’s got a TDOS Wankee splooge stain on it.

If only he had used ‘wise’ I coulda implied he aimed to fuck an owl.

If you remove the “simply”, it’s still usable and unsplooged.

Though I’ll admit bias – the word “simply” is on my shit list after years of reading libertarian crap online in which they appeal to the consumer’s ability to “simply choose” thus and so.

Ew. That was a perfectly good phrase! Now it’s got a TDOS Wankee splooge stain on it.

Unless the birth certificate says Obama was born in Honolulu. Then I’ll KNOW it’s a fake.

Say, that was Kleber, El Cid!

I like to Sokoto ‘em once I get on Arol, but all you have to do is put your will to it Onitsha’ll be done.

I’d really like to think at along about Jan. 15th Crazy Pammy’s site is going to be nothing but birth certificate posts, each (somehow, how croggles the mind) more wingnutty than the last.

This makes me think of Limbaugh back during the Clinton impeachment hearings. Ken Starr was due to give his testimony, and the Pigman was bloviating about how Starr was going to reveal *T*H*E* *T*R*U*T*H* that would finish Clinton once and for all.

Of course he didn’t say anything the first day of testimony, so Pigman just decided that tomorrow would be TEH BIG DAI and all would be revealed. This all reminds me greatly of that wingnuttus interrruptus I witnessed back then – only so much more entertaining.

Riyadh the whole thing!

That’s Benin the back of my mind the whole time, but it’s a Meroë to distract from the important issues with a Wolof noise.
