Frequent IHateTheMedia.com commenter and occasional contributor Perlcat once again hops up on his soapbox and vents his spleen:
I just ran across a fascinating donk article in the New York Times that seemed worried about Barry becoming the new Jimmy.
No shit, Sherlock, in so many ways. There are just so very many great lines in this article:
Democratic lawmakers worry that the Tea Party freshmen have already ‘neutered’ the president, as one told me.
No, Moochelle already did that.
They fret that Obama is an inept negotiator.
Howling with laughter, that’s me!
More and more, 2008 looks like the tulip mania.
She means the “tulip mania” that left Holland devastated, not the nasty place Barry put his two lips on that trip.
They yearned to see the president beat the political suicide bombers over the head with the Constitution.
That would be the only possible use the “constitutional lawyer” has for it. He certainly hasn’t made himself familiar with its contents.
These paragraphs delight me:
Consider what the towel-snapping Tea Party crazies have already accomplished. They’ve changed the entire discussion. They’ve neutralized the White House. They’ve whipped their leadership into submission.
They’ve taken taxes and revenues off the table. They’ve withered the stock and bond markets. They’ve made journalists speak to them as though they’re John Calhoun and Alexander Hamilton.
Obama and John Boehner have been completely outplayed by the “hobbits,” as The Wall Street Journal and John McCain called them.
I especially love the last paragraph of the article:
What if this is all a cruel joke on us? What if the people who hate government are good at it and the people who love government are bad at it?
The essence of good government is summed up by one of their own, Thoreau: “That government is best which governs least.” So, yes, by that definition, the TEA party members are the ones best at government.
No shit, Sherlock. I never thought I’d ever read a Dowd column that wasn’t fit only to wipe my a** with.
Blind sow, meet ACORN.
