Sometimes, I get sick of progressives because we are horrible at politics. Our political pureness blinds us sometimes from the political opportunities we have to pursue our larger goals. Last night, we lost a seat in NY-09 that was held by one of the strongest progressive voices we had in the House.
And what took him out?
Something stupid that most of us don’t care anything about.
So today, we get the breaking story of Sarah’s one night stand with a basketball playing “brother” from Miami and how will we use this? Oh how I love the irony of this all. But already, I'm witnessing the progressive purists who are ineptly letting her off the hook by only looking at the larger issues of youth, race and privacy.
Did the tea party nuts cut Weiner any slack? No!! How about Clinton and John Edwards? Nooo!!! They pounded him while we sat on our stupid duffs and let Vitter get re-elected and Ensign retire at his leisure. We also gave Nikki Haley a pass while they were whupping Charlie Rangel.
These cons are kicking us to sleep with our scandals and we are totally inept in force-feeding them theirs. Do I care that she screwed a black man? Of course not—so don’t give me a race speech.
Just once—just one freakin’ time can we play politics like everyone else? While I could care less about this story, I guarantee you the tea party loons in the South are pissed because they don’t like black people. This kind of stuff depresses them and makes them feel bad just like Britebart, CNN and Mediate did to me.
They pounded Weiner for days with tons of questions while the late night comics had a field day at our expense. And what did we get with our lame response? A tea party republican in the heart of New York.
I need this Sarah Scandal right now because I’m tired of being slapped around by these republicans with every fake issue from paper-clips to how many calories Michele has in her lunch.
It’s time we get off our duffs, quit fighting each other and jam their “family values” hypocrisy right down their throats. With that said, this is the most important story…ever with my full bowl of popcorn and a load fake outrage!!
