Subject: Like in Blazing Saddles
Hi Bart,
I totally agree with your assessment of the weekend
hustle. For months I have been saying
that with the GOP media, the very profitable
health care and oil industries wanting Hillary out
of the way, had to hurt her first, then they
will go after Barack.
The GOP/whore media's plan was like that of Harvey
Korman's character Hedley Lamarr
in Blazing Saddles whereas they
would promote a candidate so offensive, the people would
then run him out of town. Imagine the looks on
people's faces I got when I used this comedy as
an analogy to what was happening and realizing
that was not a crazy comparison and that it will
be harder to elect a partially black man with
little experience.
Looks likeScott McClellan's exposing the whore
media has validated this awkward analogy.
Whoever said "The media was practicing stenography,
not journalism" was right.
Smart people knew that and smelled it a mile
away.
I believe it was the media's job to get rid of
the person who could beat McCain.
Does anyone think that Barack will continue to
be treated so well going into November with more
bad pastor revelations and other things the GOP/whore
media will dig up until then with the
GOP's help and $$? Remember
what they did to war hero Kerry? The rules for war heroes
are different depending on party affiliation.
Senile, flip flopping McSame the "maverick" has had
little to answer for in the GOP/whore media with
his countless "mistakes" - he is still their darling.
David Rees (Get Your War On) had a good joke
about that in Rolling Stone.
Somehow, McCain brought up a WWII analogy and
Rees said,
"Right, but nobody had to remind Patton that
the Nazis weren't Russians."
Saddest part is the ignorant Democrat leadership
has done this with the GOP's help and blessings.
The GOP is grateful to Howard Dean and the dumb
Demmies.
And R.I.P. Harvey Korman. Thanks so much for
the hysterical laughter you provided.
We are still laughing. Another great one gone.
Steve
