in times like these...
what's next, al franken as stuart smalley testifying on substance abuse?
snl's sendup of ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS is hilarious at 11:30 pm, it really is
but it would NOT be funny in front of bitchy barbara boxer
a day after max baucus, the gatekeeper, announced there's not enough time to address the bush tax cuts, leaving the economy in always greater uncertainty---will there be a vote, won't there be, middle class only or higher earners too, maybe in lame duck...
leadership can't even state its stance, as october nears, on the bush tax cuts...
only 3 days after rushing dadt onto the floor hidden inside some bigger bill only to bellyflop, ripping the hearts of rainbow chasers coast to coast...
one thing this forum at its finest can show you is just how much our gay neighbors and friends CARE about gender issues
just look at this week in news---bob woodward's tell-all exposes the president's pursuit of obama's war is purely political
the staff is jumping ship like that dude on the titanic who donned a dress
the georgetown town hall, described the next day by the grey lady as "a therapy session for disillusioned obama supporters," was taken up by question after question of this caste---do you find immoral working for a profit, when will you stop whacking wall street like a pinata, are you preparing americans to buck up for cuts in services in social security and medicare, do your elite education and personal style prevent you from really feeling what americans are going thru, how can i continue to defend you when i'm exhausted...
obama at the un dais declared the door open to iran, then our delegation walked out on the hateful holocaust denier with whom the president still purposes to parley
the clintons began making their move
the president couldn't more than 2/3 fill the ballroom of the roosevelt hotel in nyc, even at 50 bucks admission, and then was heckled mercillessly by rightfully umbraged gay protestors who feel strung along, played, betrayed
these are serious times
colbert wasn't funny, what he passes as clever is hackneyed, heard a thousand times
the only thing that might have been comic to some is the venue
politics is big and small, it's whatever hits the gut
and this, colbert's expert testimony before zoe lofgren's justice, to your more sober neighbors, comes as a suckerpunch
this image will not fade
and consider its proximity to november
it too closely characterizes the smug sanctimony and smarminess of the 30-something elitists and professional leftists who think they're so clever and know so more than not only THEIR moms but every mom on the block
leadership, due to events like these, comes across as orbiting some OTHER planet, perhaps uranus
party on, progressives, you know best
and laughter is golden
