Please forgive me for my language but some of these talking shitheads really piss me off. Maureen Down really has a big bug up her ass concerning Obama. He has become her voodoo doll and she enjoys sticking pins in him. Her latest article in the New York Times 'May we Mock, Barack?' contends:
"If Obama keeps being stingy with his quips and smiles, and if the dominant perception of him is that you can’t make jokes about him, it might infect his campaign with an airless quality. His humorlessness could spark humor."
Here's some advice for you Miss Dowd: before you write something about Obama that is completely untrue, maybe you should follow his campaign. Your article is a big pile of horse manure. Obama is the funniest and most engaging candidate in this election campaign, and I might add, in recent history. Ms. Dowd is trying to stoke the narrative of Obama as aloof and elitist. Obama has gone out of his way to connect with the voters. If you watch any of his town halls or rallies, you will see him shaking hand, taking pictures and talking with voters. This is one of his most endearing qualities and blowasses like Dowd know that.
Her rant continues:
"Flash forward to the kerfuffle — and Obama’s icy reaction — over this week’s New Yorker cover parodying fears about the Obamas."
Miss Dowd, There is a thin line between satire and slander and there was nothing funny about the New Yorker cover. For this cover to justify itsef as satiore it would have to conform to its definitive purpose: In satire, human or individual vices, follies, abuses, or shortcomings are held up to censure by means of ridicule, derision, burlesque, irony, or other methods, ideally with the intent to bring about improvement. There wan't even a kernel of truth in any of the images of Michelle Obama and Barack Obama that were portrayed. In fact I believe that Michelle's aquired afro was their way of reminding white America that beneath her nicely permed hair she is still as Don Imus would say 'nappy headed'! Hey guess what? We know Michelle is black and they did not need to draw an Afro on her to remind us, just in case we may not have noticed.
Folks, let us not kid ourselves. This election season is
