More Palin Derangement…
Feb 12th
I still haven’t figured out what it is about Sarah Palin that drives people on the left bonkers. My only guess is that they must feel that she is some kind of political threat. Let’s face it, when a mainstream figure (and Palin is mainstream despite the left’s derangement) like Palin is subject to constant partisan attacks it means the person as viewed as a threat. Ronald Reagan, easily the best President since Eisenhower, was hated on the left. In fact, most people on the left still struggle to say anything nice about Reagan. At the time Reagan was dismissed as an old forgetful idiot by liberals. Check out this description of Palin in a recent entry on the Huffington Post.
After a year and a half of exposure to this virulently toxic presence, the question on the table is: In our lifetime, has there ever been a worse human being in American politics than Sarah Palin? For all the morons and criminals and bigots we’ve been subjected to, has there been anyone else who has combined all of the fetid qualities — the proud ignorance, the sadistic viciousness, the shameless hypocrisy, the arrogant laziness, the congenital dishonesty, the unctuous sanctimony, the bilious resentment, and whichever others I’m forgetting for the moment — that this morals-free harridan so relentlessly displays? (Not to mention that atonal bray with which she communicates it all.)
Has there ever been a worse human being in American politics? Where is this coming from? I’m not sure how anyone on the left can complain about “terrible human beings” as long as disgraced Democrat John Edwards walks the Earth. John Edwards is a living, breathing example of everything wrong with politicians/lawyers and Paul Slansky is concerned about a former governor from Alaska?
Super Bowl Winner: Google
Feb 8th
Club Soda did a great job summing up the political ramifications of an actual Green Police. Last night’s Audi ad was great because it appealed to both groups. Please read David Roberts’ article today in the Huffington Post. The same site that brought the world Katrina Cannibalism has this take on the Green Police ad:
The ad only makes sense if it’s aimed at people who acknowledge the moral authority of the green police — people who may find those obligations tiresome and constraining on occasion, who only fitfully meet them, who may be annoyed by sticklers and naggers, but who recognize that living more sustainably is in fact the moral thing to do. This basically describes every guy I know.
In other words David Roberts is okay with a police state as long as it suits his political beliefs. This is the great thing about totalitarianism. Someone ultimately gets to be in control. Everything is cool until someone has a gun in your face telling you to stop emitting C02.
Anyway, the point of my post today is to discuss what I thought was the best advertisement last night during the Super Bowl.
Google’s Parisian Love ad is simple. Google’s service is simple. The ad told a story and the sole focus was the brand. From a marketing perspective it was perfect. Evidently Microsoft’s search decision engine Bing is slowly gaining traction. Google has never advertised like this before. Plus, the fact there was a Google ad and nothing for Apple must make someone unhappy.
where is wasserman now?
Jul 19th
The last time I checked in with Harvey Wasserman it was August, 2007. Back then he was worried about President Bush canceling the 2008 election.
We must also assume that if it appears to Team Bush/Cheney/Rove that the GOP will lose the 2008 election anyway (as it lost in Ohio 2006) we cannot ignore the possibility that they would simply cancel the election. Those who think this crew will quietly walk away from power are simply not paying attention. The real question is not how or when they might do it. It’s how, realistically, we can stop them.
I guess Wasserman’s defense is that he stopped Bush from stealing the election? Of course no one tried to cancel the election; it’s just insane talk. Wasserman could be simply ignored but his idiotic rants are posted on various sites including the Huffington Post. Plus, he’s had articles published in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Boston Globe. The man is a textbook example BDS. For example, just take a look at his June 24 article titled OOPS! We rigged the Iran/Florida-Ohio vote count AGAIN!!
Blackwell and Bush then used a lethal mix of black box machines, faulty scantrons and hijacked ballots to finish the job. Blackwell worked with Diebold, ES&S, Triad, and other electronic magicians that let him disappear or switch all the votes he needed with a few keystrokes at around 2am election night. His high-tech IT henchman, Michael Connell, has since died in a mysterious plane crash.
This is an article that’s supposedly about the Iranian election, but it just serves as an outlet for another crazy rant by Wasserman. It’s unbelievable that five years later people are so insane that they believe the 2004 election was stolen. If Wasserman was really concerned about voter fraud shouldn’t he have been in Minnesota? Where is his outrage about ACORN? It doesn’t exist because Wasserman is in a closet wearing a tin foil hat waiting for nuclear winter.
