Politics: March 2008 Archives
Happy Friday!
For the first time in history, it's gonna start raining McCain! A new worst video of the campaign. Even more embarrassing than "Hillary and the Band."
So I'm not quite sure when we got into the political endorsement game here at FeyFriends, but the Hillary Clinton thing was obviously decided at some PNP koffee klatsch to which i was not invited. Well unlike Bobo, I am totally an Obama supporter (although of the mildest variety!!) and today I would like to address the topic of "Barack Obama's Mean Priest."
You may or may not have heard that Barack Obama goes to one of those funny giant churches in a football stadium where a disagreeable priest occasionally says "mean" (true) things about America. Well everyone is freaking out about it and I don't understand! For one thing, shouldn't people be happy Obama is Christian? Just a month ago every old person on Earth was taking time out of his/her busy insurance-milking hobby to freak out that Obama was a sinister Muslim and maybe even a sleeper agent for Al Qaeda, Saddam Hussein (they have the same name) or Louis Farrakhan of the Million Mom March. Well now we know he is Christian and I have not heard apologies from any of the 1,000 grandmas who forwarded me e-mails about Obama's muslimnity. Instead they are now fowarding me e-mails about his PRIEST! Well, well, well! Now Obama has a priest! So which is it? Terrorist or American?
Politics is getting so confusing to me! Last time I checked it was PATRIOTIC to be a Christian. So how can a PRIEST be unpatriotic? Especially when heis the head priest of one of those big stadium churches where they have trapezes and hot dogs and clowns and AMERICAN FLAGS? I thought that was what patriots LIKED? Call me old fashioned!
The reason? This video...

"It's frustrating to hear her call Gov. Spitzer a hypocrite while she's out there being as dishonest as anyone could be about her own life," said Pedersen, 29. "She's framed herself as a victim - yet she was a willing participant. She had complete control over what happened in her relationship. She was there, she knew what was happening, she made the moves. We all did. It's disgusting to watch her play the victim card."
Well, well, well.
Oops! According to THIS absolutely essential Wayne Barrett piece in the Voice, we were wrong to trust those Republican loyalists after all! Turns out they've always been more afraid of a Clinton faceoff, all along. WHOOPSIE POOPSIE!
And, if their reaction to Obama's slightly premature apparent victory last month is any indication, once they get Obama alone in the general, they plan to unsheath their claws and commence ripping that paper tiger to shreds...
I have spent my life studying the pictures and symbols of racism and slavery, and when I saw the Clinton ad’s central image — innocent sleeping children and a mother in the middle of the night at risk of mortal danger — it brought to my mind scenes from the past. I couldn’t help but think of D. W. Griffith’s “Birth of a Nation,” the racist movie epic that helped revive the Ku Klux Klan, with its portrayal of black men lurking in the bushes around white society. The danger implicit in the phone ad — as I see it — is that the person answering the phone might be a black man, someone who could not be trusted to protect us from this threat.
Wow.
Ever since we found out yesterday that governor-i'd-like-to-fuck (for free!) Eliot Spitzer had been reduced to taking up with WHORES, JMZZ and I have been waiting anxiously for the details about what, exactly he was doing with those hookers! And just how gay it might be, even though the hookers were ladies. Well everyone's favorite hollywood madam and undie designer, HEIDI FLEISS, thinks she knows! And it is 50% gay!
"I saw many famous people—more famous than Eliot Spitzer—and you know what, you pay people right, you treat them right, you don't have a problem." The devil, she says, was in Spitzer's particular freak, which left the gals who are alleged to have serviced him describing the governor as "difficult," with demands that involved "things that, like, you might not think were safe."
"I'm sure he wanted anal sex without condoms," Fleiss says, speculating but strangely confident.

Allen is very persuasive, citing such diverse and thoughtful examples as the success of "Grey's Anatomy", the popularity of Barack Obama, and the mismanaged debacle that is Hillary Clinton's "stupidest" campaign for the White House, to support her argument that women are merely "children of a larger growth."
Now, I know there are plenty of women and women-sympathizers out there who are going to resent Ms. Allen for letting the cat out of the bag -- some of them are already flinging feces at her good name over at HuffPo -- but I for one am grateful that she broke the silence.
Moreover, there's no need for ladies to (stupidly, natch) get their panties in a bunch. As Ms. Allen so wisely counsels her sisters in stupidity:
"Relax, enjoy the innate abilities most of us possess (as well as the ones fewer of us possess) and revel in the things most important to life at which nearly all of us excel: tenderness toward children and men and the weak and the ability to make a house a home."Hey....that's actually some pretty clever advice, coming from a Stupid Idiot LadyFace!
