Al Gore proves The National Enquirer is the most reputable journalism this country produces these days
Keep following The National Enquirer’s reporting on Al Gore’s attempted rape of a masseuse a few years ago, because it’s a story that’s got legs.
A few interesting things are happening, all at once, to brew a perfect storm against the Media in this country — a storm that seems destined to wake Americans up to the fact that “journalists” in this country are nothing more than operatives of the Democrat Party, protecting Democrats at all cost and sitting on stories they know will hurt the Democrat Party.
The National Enquirer proved this point with the John Edwards story it ran — a story the rest of the Media also knew about, but didn’t report on because the Media wanted Edwards to weaken Hillary Clinton’s chances in the 2008 primaries so that Obama could be president (and “journalists” could have “the historic and unprecedented first black president” they all dreamed about since their days in liberal journalism schools). The Enquirer reported on it, and exposed the fact that Edwards misappropriate campaign funds to conceal the affair and take care of his mistress and love child. The Media laughed at this, until Edwards owned up to everything the Enquirer said…which should have won the Enquirer a Pulitzer.
Do you see a pattern emerging when you think about Democrat scandals through the years?
They always break in something like The National Enquirer, are denied vehemently by not only those involved but the Democrat-protecting Media as well, and are ultimately proven true once the Enquirer has simply built up too much of a buzz at the supermarket checkout lines for the Media to carry any more water for Democrats off whatever leaking ship they’ve found themselves on this time.
Al Gore seems to have been protected by the Media the way Tiger Woods was protected for so many years, but for a different reason.
Woods was the Media’s darling because he was a part-black man who was good at golf, and that was a wonderful novelty. His multi-racial genetic profile was downplayed, and for all intents and purposes the Media sold Woods as “the historic and unprecedented first big time black golfer”. It was the narrative the Media wanted to tell, so they could herald Woods as a barrier-breaking champion…and lavish praise upon him as a favorite pet. It’s much the same thing the Media does with Obama as “president”. He’s a biracial man, but his white heritage is ignored so the Media can have its “historic and unprecedented first black president”. Facts be damned. Woods’ sex addiction, reckless behavior, and depravities were well-known and completely ignored by the Media, until The National Enquirer outed him and exposed everything. The Media’s done its level best to protect Woods and rebuild him, but it’s just not working. The jig is up for Tiger, and the Media can’t save one of its favorite pets. This is a foreshadowing of what’s going to happen to Obama, too, though we’ll all have to wait a few years for it, the way we had to wait this long for Woods to be exposed and knocked off the Media’s pedestal.
Gore was protected by the Media not because he was its pet, but because Global Warming Alarmism and the Cult of Anthropogenic Climate Change were the Media’s pet projects in the last decade. Gore, as the high priest of the AGW cult, had to be above reproach. As a former Democrat Vice President and almost-president in 2000, Gore was an elder statesman of the Democrat Party, and exposing anything bad about him would not just hurt Democrats (whom “journalists” serve), but would also harm the Media’s pet project of climate change alarmism. The whole “sky is falling” bit the Media’s been running would collapse if its star Chicken Little, Gore, was revealed to be a “sex crazed poodle”, as his accuser dubbed him. Therefore, the Media did everything it could to keep this story from getting out.
We 100% believe the masseuse who’s made these accusations against Al Gore, and truly hope Gore ends up in prison at some point in the future — though we don’t think it’s going to be for this assault. Here’s what we think is going on behind the scenes, and where things could end up for the Pope of Anthropogenic Global Warming:
(1) The Gores’ divorce was just bizarre. After all these years of marriage, and after being the Second Lady of the United States, it just didn’t make any sense at all for Tipper Gore to divorce her husband, because being the wife of a former Vice President must entail a great many perks…let alone being the wife of a Pope, whose cult and cult-related business ventures must keep her in a marvelous lifestyle. With all that money, and Gore on the road selling his snake oil while collecting carbon credit indulgences from fools worldwide, why would Tipper divorce a man she barely saw as it was? The Gores lived in palaces with nine or ten bedrooms. They stayed at the best hotels in the most cosmopolitan cities. Tipper had almost completely fallen off the radar and was up to whatever it was she did all day, wherever she wanted to do it, with no scrutiny and all the perks associated with Gore’s post-vice presidency and ongoing cult papacy. Why rock the boat? Why get divorced? Unless Tipper saw a major scandal brewing and wanted out before the carbon credits hit the fan.
(2) Does Tipper’s divorce filing protect her in some way from the Cult of Anthropogenic Global Warming’s collapse? Does the divorce insulate her from inconvenient truths barreling down, with hurricane-force, on the horizon? It feels like this divorce is very much a business move on Tipper’s part. It does not make sense otherwise. Whatever affections the Gores had for each other were alienated years ago. Remember that kiss during the 2000 campaign? That was so awkward and forced to the point of being unnatural and alien for the two of them. If things were estranged for them a decade ago, and somehow Tipper’s managed to carry on for the last ten years being married to the almost-president and AGW pope, then why has she suddenly wanted a divorce? Why now? We think she knows The National Enquirer is going to bring her husband down, and when he goes down, the AGW cult will collapse with him, so she wants out while she can get as much money as possible before it’s all seized or blows away.
(3) If you read the Enquirer’s reporting, it’s said many times that the masseuse involved did not report Gore’s sexual assault upon her because her friends, all Leftists, told her that this would hurt the Global Warming cause. These friends of hers recognized that Gore was the AGW cult’s pope, and that exposing him as a “sex crazed poodle” would bring the cult down. This is the same reason the Media will not report on Obama being gay or going to the bathhouse at Man’s Country in Andersonville to meet men for anonymous sex. Anything that will damage the figurehead of a cult damages the cult itself, and damages Liberalism itself. Self-described “liberals” repeatedly say it is better to keep these secrets or fall on their swords than endanger Liberalism by allowing the truth to get out about the cult’s figure heads. This is similar to the way Scientologists protect Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and other figureheads of that cult. Goon squads have been dispatched by Scientology to menace Cruise and Travolta’s enemies, or harass studio executives and others in Hollywood who were seen as standing in the way of their careers (and, by extension, the betterment of Scientology). Leftists are a goon squad that protects Democrats at all cost, because Democrats see to it that billions in taxpayer dollars are funneled into loony, fringe causes the cult of Liberalism endorses. So, Democrats like
Obama and Gore must be protected at all costs, lest Liberals at large suffer and the Left is weakened.
(4) The timing on the part of The National Enquirer is impeccable on all of this, as we imagine they’ve been sitting on this story for a while. Just think about this big picture. The Enquirer sees that Obama is now pushing the Cap & Tax bill, which will cripple the US economy, by trying to use the Obamaspill Gulf Disaster to ram this legislation through. The Enquirer makes its money off supermarket checkout sales, where it’s an impulse, extravagance buy. We imagine subscribers and purchasers of The National Enquirer are those who are barely making ends meet these days as it is, but who manage to find that extra $4.00 at the supermarket checkout to buy an Enquirer for its entertaining “stories”. Maybe these people are sacrificing candy bars or soda pop to buy that Enquirer, but they don’t mind because it’s an indulgence they enjoy. But, what happens when Cap & Tax makes grocery prices jump, because the shipping companies are stuck with higher fuel costs, the grocery stores are hit with higher energy costs, and the famers growing all that food pass their own added expenses down the line onto consumers? Suddenly, supermarket customers find themselves with an enormous increase in what it costs to buy their essential items, and little will be left for indulgences like The National Enquirer. Self-preservation always wins out for any company that wants to stay in business. If the Enquirer editors are smart — and we know they are — then they saw the writing on the wall and knew that Cap & Tax would hurt their bottom line in a big way. What better way to stop Cap & Tax then to take down the Cult of Anthropogenic Global Warming’s pope, expose and discredit him, and collapse the cult he built around himself?
Nothing is coincidental or happenstance with these Enquirer stories.
Though the national Media scoffs at the Enquirer, and ridicules the Enquirer’s readership, just think about what a big impact seeing headlines and covers like the image at the top of this post has on people shopping in supermarkets. It builds a buzz. That buzz carries through a community and grows at church functions, PTA meetings, soccer games, and any number of places that people gather and need something to small-talk about. ”Oh, did you see that Al Gore tried to rape some woman in a hotel? I always knew that Global Warming crap was just horse pucky. That mad is a sex crazed poodle and he deserves what he gets. Good for Tipper for divorcing him. He belongs in jail, same with all those Global Warming scammers. What’s a carbon credit anyway? Sounds like a Ponzi scheme to me”.
There sure are a lot of picnics, church bazaars, street festivals, family reunions, barbeques, and other social gatherings in the summer time where Al Gore’s antics will get a lot of discussion in circles the liberal journalists might scorn and scoff at…but these people are largely independent voters, and a great deal of them are probably in the South…which is the first region of the country that will be impacted by the Obamaspill Gulf Disaster. Democrats might never lose their grip on the urban elites and those in the university towns across the country, but if Democrats lose too many of the independents…people who read The National Enquirer in the checkout lines…then Democrats and their Leftists agenda are TOAST.
What a bizarre world we live in.
A former Vice President accused of attempted rape.
A government in Washington hellbent on crippling the nation’s economy and making basic things like groceries unaffordable to most Americans.
The National Enquirer serving as the last bastion of actual journalism we have.
Strange times indeed.
Wednesday Open Thread: June 30th, 2010
What’s on your minds this Wednesday?
What are people talking about in your part of the country?
QUESTION: Could Obama appoint himself to replace Justice Ginsburg on the SCOTUS in 2011 or so?
Elena Kagan is coming across as vapid and mediocre as the current president himself.
Could Obama follow Kagan onto the SCOTUS, becoming the "historic and unprecedented first black US president to escape electoral defeat by appointing himself to the SCOTUS"?
There’s a scene near the end of Working Girl with Melanie Griffith and Harrison Ford in an elevator that reminds us a lot of how we think most of the time. When asked how she figured out the big picture strategy behind a large multimedia deal, Griffith’s secretary character says she spotted a picture of a society wedding on one page of the paper, then caught a blurb about a radio personality in another section, and got to thinking about a marriage between said shock jock and the business interests of the before-mentioned bride’s father. It all made sense to Griffith, in a big picture way, and she saw lines drawn between the items that didn’t make sense to anyone else, until she connected some dots on her own.
Drudge Report has been running the absolute worst photos it can seemingly find of Elena Kagan — where she’s laughing, making strange faces, and largely coming across as an ass. That’s how she’s actually behaving during her SCOTUS confirmation hearings, where she’s vapid and dodgy whenever she’s not flat-out lying about her positions and previously recorded opinions. Then, there’s the simple fact that she’s not being truthful about the fact she’s a lesbian…and we believe she’s deliberately doing this so that she can come out of the closet to great fanfare after she is confirmed to the SCOTUS, where she can become “the historic and unprecedented first openly gay SCOTUS Justice”.
The Obama presidency is all about being “historic and unprecedented”, whenever it’s not being childish and assy. One of our favorite photos of the current “president” that Drudge has ever run is the above, where he’s devouring a strawberry like no straight man we’ve ever seen before. The same self-indulgent, arrogant vibe comes off both Kagan and Obama, in addition to the feeling they’re both hiding their true orientation from the public for political and strategic reasons. While Kagan will come out in 2011, we believe, probably before the next June Pride so she can bask in all the glory of being the first gay Justice, we doubt Obama will ever come out — but will instead be outed a la Rock Hudson years in the future shortly after he leaves the mortal coil (and, according to his cultists, is delivered unto Olympus in a cloud pulled by angels to take his rightful place amongst the gods).
For some reason, seeing those two photos together gave us an idea we’d like your opinion on: do you think it’s possible that Obama will appoint himself to the SCOTUS when Justice Ginsburg retires in 2011…to give him an out so that he does not have to run for re-election?
We’ve been struggling with the fact that Obama’s ego is so massive that we cannot conceive of him ever entering into a race he knows he cannot win. He has always done everything he can to eliminate his competition and stack the deck in his favor. When he ran for the state senate in Illinois in the 90s, he had his opponents on the ballot, like Alice Palmer, tossed out on a petition signature technicality. When he ran for the US Senate from Illinois in 2004, his campaign pushed the Jack Ryan sex scandal that took down Ryan before election day, handing him a win in a cake walk. During the 2008 primaries, Obama used voter fraud, intimidation, the race card, and other tricks to bring down Hillary Clinton’s campaign for the nomination. In the general election, Obama benefitted from a mysterious, George Soros-induced September financial crisis that cinched a win for him, after stacking the deck for himself with the help of nonstop cheerleading from the American media (and, of course, massive use of the race card again).
We can’t see how any of his 2008 tricks work for him again in 2012. He’ll have the Media at his disposal, but we have hope people like Andrew Breitbart are proving to the American people what a tool of the Democrat Party the Media is (keep following the Journolist story that Breitbart is pushing). His race card has been exhausted, however, and we doubt many people can be bullied into voting for him again just to prove how not racist they are. Unemployment will remain high, the taxes and other disasters associated with Obamacare will be piling up, and the Obamaspill Gulf Disaster will still be underscoring this administration’s incompetence two years from now.
If Obama’s never entered into a fight without massive advantages before, why would he run for re-election if he thinks he’ll lose? It’s just so out of character for him. BUT, it would also be out of character for someone with this massive of an ego to simply walk away and retire like LBJ. So, what’s a narcissist like this to do?
Appointing himself to the SCOTUS seems like it would be an ideal solution for him, for the following reasons:
(1) Obama has always used his current job to land himself into his next one, so it fits that pattern to use the presidency to install himself on the SCOTUS.
(2) Seeing all of his tricks have been exhausted, Obama as a showman knows it’s time to get off the stage before he’s revealed as the fraud he must know himself to be. Securing a permanent, lifetime position would thus be ideal for him, as he’d get to maintain a national spotlight for the rest of his days by wearing a robe on the SCOTUS. Kagan’s appointment, after having zero experience on the bench, is a nice setup for him to appoint himself to the SCOTUS, since he also had zero judicial experience. It feels like she’s serving this purpose, since there were much more qualified and better candidates he could have put forward to replace Justice Stevens…so why Kagan unless there’s more to this than some realize.
(3) If Obama’s secondary goal, aside from self-aggrandizement, has always been to push the far Left’s agenda, then what better place for him to do that than on the SCOTUS, where he would become the most Leftists jurist this nation has seen in some time? Obama clearly believes SCOTUS Justices write the laws, not just interpret them. He has no intention of ever protecting and defending the Constitution as he swore to do in 2009. The SCOTUS would be a perch from which he could wax on and on about how evil and terrible America is from the Leftist perspective for decades.
(4) Obama sees what an abject, pathetic failure Jimmy Carter is, and how his failed presidency was followed be a post-presidency in which his derangement became painfully obvious as Carter was proven to be an anti-semitic loon. His Habit for Humanity accolades and the other post-presidential honors don’t make up for the fact Carter remains a joke. As Obama comes to grips with the fact his own presidency has failed, it seems his nature to seek a second act that takes the spotlight off this disaster. Having a whole new career as a SCOTUS jurist would do this.
(5) More than any other reason above, we think Obama would relish the leg-tingling Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, and all of his cultists would have as they pushed for him to be installed on the SCOTUS. They’d be enthralled with the “historic and unprecedented” nature of the move, with a sitting US president leaving office not in disgrace like Nixon, but in glory as the newest SCOTUS Justice…and only the third black male to serve in the position. Once Clarence Thomas is gone, that would leave Obama as the only black SCOTUS member, assuming Justice Kennedy’s replacement in 2012-2013 or so isn’t someone like Ann Claire Williams (and we hope it is, because a black female Justice would then overshadow Obama, even in his own mind, which is why Williams was not chosen to replace Stevens).
This would, of course, briefly leave us with a President Biden…and maybe a Vice President Hillary Clinton. Which would set Clinton up nicely for a 2012 run for the presidency of her own.
That’s where this Obama self-appointment to the SCOTUS idea comes off the rails a bit, because it would mean he’d have to leave the White House to take up a position on the Court. But, maybe Justice Ginsburg is being convinced not to retire in 2011 as expected, but wait until 2012 to do so…which would mean Obama would then just leave the White House a little early, the way he’s left every other elected position he’s had, to take a new job that he’s sought. He’d leave the Democrat Party in disarray if it planned on running him for the presidency in 2012, but that seems to be of no concern to him. Obama is a Leftist at heart, not a Democrat, and he could care less about the party he ruined to win his prize in 2008. It’s not about what’s best for his party, or his country, but what will get him what his heart desires at that particular moment in time.
So, this is all something very interesting to think about, in a Working Girl, connect the dots and speculate in an elevator sort of way.
Could any of this happen?
Is this the out Obama’s looking for to be able to avoid electoral defeat in 2012?
What think you?
Tuesday Open Thread: June 29th, 2010
What’s on your minds this Tuesday?
What are people talking about in your part of the country?
What do you think of the Elena Kagan confirmation hearings so far — will Republicans hold their ground and challenge her (as the majority of Americans seem to want), or will they do what they normally do and just roll over?
We don’t see a downside to Republicans making this confirmation the Democrat version of Bork’s…because if this White House wants to install Kagan onto the Court, then it should have to fight tooth and nail to get her there. Someone who compares the NRA to the KKK, and who doesn’t have a judicial record to pick through, does not deserve a free pass anywhere.
What do you think?
Conservatives need to get with the program and start entering creative floats in parades
Berlin's Mount Olympus float at the Chicago Pride Parade 2010
Just imagine what would happen if Republicans could get creative like this.
Beat the Left by being more creative and interesting than it is.
The above are shots of our absolute favorite Pride parade float of all time (as taken by Panda’s cell phone).
It’s the float the bar Berlin entered into the Pride Parade this year. Berlin is a bar we think is terrible and only go to when we absolutely have to, but they absolutely out did themselves this year with their Mt. Olympus float. The pictures don’t really do it justice…it was so fun, creative, and interesting, in a sea of float after float with just Speedo-clad guys dancing around. If you’ve been to more than one Pride parade, you’ve seen all that more times than you will ever need to, and it gets boring.
So, the Mt. Olympus float was a great surprise and treat.
Which made us wonder why Conservatives, in the form of Republicans, don’t get with the program and start being creative and getting more exposure. And that doesn’t necessarily have to be exposure in the Speedo sense, but exposure at events like Pride where they could literally blow everyone away by coming up with the best and most creative float in a parade like this.
Think about it.
We still want conservative to adopt the motto of “Republicans: Not as evil as you think” for tongue-and-cheek purposes at events like Pride. Just imagine if instead of Mount Olympus, Republicans had ran a float that was monster-themed, with a big haunted house and sexy vampires and witches, and there was Republican branding everywhere as well.
So, they’d be acknowledging the caricature Democrats use against them — that they are evil — and they would nullify that by making it a big joke and actually showing up in force to produce a float that was better than anything even a bar like Berlin puts on.
If Conservatives raised the creative bar and started outshining gays at Pride, by having the best and most creative float…heads would start exploding.
We aren’t saying this would bring gays over to the conservative side where they’d start voting Republican — Democrats have them too brainwashed for that to happen. But, here’s what it WOULD do: if Republicans had a streak of years where they started putting together the best Pride float, for instance, and every year people started looking forward to what Republicans would do, and people actually WAITED all year to see what they would come up with now, there would be a psychological sea change in an important Democrat-voting-bloc.
The reason the LGBTQ community tunes conservatism out is that Democrats successfully paint conservatives as evil, and shut down the dialogue with that caricature before anyone who’s LGBTQ can think for themselves and question whether or not they might be conservative as well, at heart, and just not know it.
If Republicans started driving these little wedges here and there, with gays and also with black voters, at the very least it would force Democrats to spend more time catering to these constituencies…which currently are never in play, with nothing creative ever coming out of conservatism to change that.
And, of course, as we watched the Mt. Olympus float Berlin made pass by, we instantly thought about how fun it would be to do a Mt. Denali float next year…to promote SarahPAC. Just imagine a big Alaska-themed float, with sexy lumberjacks, people dressed up like moose and bears and other Alaska animals, and costumed-SarahPACers working the crowd passing out cards promoting the Governor’s Facebook essays and other SarahPAC dealings. The Governor will have a new book out by then too, so that would be a great thing to promote as well.
Once again, we do not believe for a moment this would bring the LGBTQ community over to Governor Palin…but just imagine if her supporters put together the most impressive float in next year’s Chicago Pride Parade…in Obama’s home town…a parade that Obama has never marched in. Just imagine if people had to admit the SarahPAC float was the best thing they saw that year at Pride. Heads would explode.
The woman the Democrats tell them they have to hate was represented by the coolest thing they saw in a while. The woman who is villainized by the Left had a major presence at Pride, in the very belly of a Democrat voting bloc that irrationally hates her. Yet, her supporters still came. And they didn’t just show up, they put together the best damn float anyone has ever seen.
We have no idea if we could ever pull something like this off, of if SarahPAC would even be interested, but by the summer of 2011 we expect Governor Palin’s presidential campaign to already be up and running, so perhaps we could really pull this off if we all worked together and spent the next year strategizing how to not only make this possible in Chicago, but have the Governor represented well like this at parades across the country.
It’s something for Palin supporters and conservatives in general to think about. If you look passed the issues you might have with the LGBTQ community and hear what we are saying here, you will see that a little creativity and some thinking outside the box will cause major problems for Democrats on so many levels as they desperately try to maintain their death grip on certain voting blocs.
Shake the chains that bind these blocs to Democrats, and cause the DNC to focus money and energy towards places they never had to before…and watch that pay great dividends in the future.
*******************************************
The concept of “Pioneer Feminism” could also be a great theme to push at high-profile events too.
It would make people think…because they wouldn’t know what that means at first…and we can use the Alaskan and Western imagery, while highlighting people like Michele Bachmann, Jan Brewer, Nikki Haley, and others in addition to the Governor.
We think there’s something to this and it’s worth fleshing out going forwards. PIONEER FEMINISM could be a great way to shake a great many concepts in the Left.
Monday Open Thread: June 28th, 2010
What’s on your minds this Monday?
What are people talking about in your part of the country?
********************************************************
Last night was the Pride Parade in Chicago, which followed a full week of Pride events that kept us very busy — and left us pretty exhausted. We have a lot of fun stories to share in the days ahead, but one of the highlights of Pride this year for us was that Robby’s mom and some of her friends from Mineral City, Ohio came up to Chicago for the weekend and were just wonderful to have around. They really spoiled us, and filled the fridge here at Buzzquarters with all sorts of homemade goodies…and they all wore PFLAG mom shirts to the parade and even went out with us last night afterwards too. We don’t know a word in English for the feeling that all leaves us with…just that sense of being supported and loved and, we don’t know, energized by this group of older ladies who decided to be strangers in a strange land and come up to experience Pride and lend their support to not just us, but all of Boystown.
Robby’s a really lucky guy to have a mom like that, not to mention his mom’s entourage, too. For those of us that don’t have family that loves and supports us, for whatever reason, we got to bask in some of that via Robby’s mom’s Coffee Club. It was an incredible experience none of us will soon forget.
AND they were on hand to help us tell people like Jan Schakowsky and Lisa Madigan how terrible they are, when we saw them before the parade. That’s an annual tradition of ours, to run into terrible Democrats at events like Pride and let them know that while it’s nice they come out and participate in the parade, that does not make up for them being terrible the rest of the year — and also doesn’t explain why a supposedly “blue” state like Illinois, with so many Democrats in it, can’t seem to actually ever do anything for the LGBTQ community, despite all that emphasis on electing Democrats here. That’s one mystery no one has ever been able to solve for us — the riddle of why gay guys need to keep blind-voting Democrat when there doesn’t ever seem to be any solid reason why we should do that.
************************************
The other interesting thing about Pride this year was that, like with many other things lately, it felt like much fewer people attended than in years past. Pridefest is a two day street festival on Friday and Saturday before the parade, and there were fewer vendors and attendees than last year. The concerts at Pridefest were always jam-packed and you had to get there really early to have a place close to the stage. Not so this year. And all the bars after Pride were usually SLAM-PACKED, but not this year. It was busy, sure, but not insanely busy like in years past.
It feels like we’re all at a tipping point in the economy if guys in Boystown don’t even have the cash to go all-out at Pride like they used to. Think of Pride like it’s gay Christmas, gay Fourth of July, gay(er) Halloween, and a giant cumulative gay birthday party all rolled into one…it’s normally the biggest blowout spare no expense party of the year.
And it was just “meh” this time around in 2010.
Rainbow feathered canaries in the coal mine.
Joe Biden's Ice Cream…and the coming "Marie Antoinette Moment" for this administration
We know we’re going to get a lot of mileage out of Joe Biden’s disastrous appearance at a Milwaukee custard shop, seeing as how we love posting the ice cream orgy images of Biden gobbling down frozen treats pornographically while on the campaign trail in 2008. There’s actually a potential hobby involved in this — tracking down Biden + ice cream images from over the years, and compiling them into an archive and resource to be deployed whenever he does something stupid. The Milwaukee visit by Biden only adds to an already established canon.
The remark Biden made in Milwaukee, about a small business owner being “a smartass” for wanting to keep more of the money his business makes, and not hand it over to the government to be wasted, is indefensible…and is more truthful than Biden intended, in that as Vice President of the ruling party Biden, despite his idiocy and ice-cream induced highs, speaks for the Democrat Party. Biden’s certainly not breaking any new ground here: Democrats have considered anyone who doesn’t agree with them “smartasses” or worse for years.
They are only recently, however, comfortable enough in the halls of power to loosen their masks and allow their true feelings to shine through…in remarks like the one Biden made so casually.
There’s a “Marie Antoinette Moment” coming for Democrats in the next year or two that will be an absolute disaster for them, in the way Jimmy Carter’s rabbit attack and wimpy gray White House sweater were in the 70s. It’s going to be similar to Bob Dole falling down at a rally during his 1996 campaign. It will be an image, a soundbyte, a little clip that captures the spirit of what people are feeling about Democrats right now: that Democrats don’t care about anything but pork spending, that Democrats have contempt for working people, and that Democrats want to take people’s hard-earned money and give it to welfare queens and Democrat-controlled constituencies that will just channel that money back into keeping Democrats in power.
Carter’s rabbit trouble and sweater made him look weak, and like a colossal idiot.
Dole’s fall to the ground made him appear feeble, and it solidified the talk that he was too old and disconnected to be president.
Biden’s ice cream store meltdown is not enough to give Democrats a “Marie Antoinette Moment”, because the smartass bit is not a catchy phrase like the alleged “Let them eat cake” attributed to the disconnected French queen who could not relate to the suffering of her people. Whether she really said this or not, and whether she truly had no grasp of what was happening in France as she continued to spend so much of the public’s money on excess, doesn’t matter as much as the fact that the reports of her remarks caught WILD FIRE because it was so believable and in keeping with the perception of her that’s out there.
Though she’s been strictly controlled, monitored, and chaperoned while in the White House, we still believe Michelle Obama will be the cause of this “Marie Antoinette Moment” for this administration. One day, as the polls continue to tank for her husband, and she catches fleeting glimpses of reality in the cult of personality that now surrounds her, she’s going to crack and throw a tantrum that’s going to be recorded by someone. She will let her mask slip, and she’ll say things, the way Biden says things, that reflect what the Obamas really think of Americans.
Perhaps these things have already happened, but the Media’s chosen not to report on them, the way the Media chose not to report on the woman who claims Al Gore sexually assaulted her, or the way the Media chose not to report on John Edwards’ affair, love child, and misappropriation of campaign funds. The Media has a practiced and talented knack for censoring things that reflect badly on Democrats.
But, the Biden “smartass” remark got through the censorship wall.
One day, something from Michelle Antoinette, or her husband, the current “president”, is also going to get through…and when it does, it’s going to be as memorable as the Carter rabbit and sweater bits, the Dole fall from the campaign stage signaling the collapse of his campaign, and that “Let them eat cake” remark (real or imagined) that summed up the perception of France’s queen.
We have no idea what it will be, but if Biden’s a career politician who has enough experience to keep his emotions in check and not make mistakes like this, and the pressure Democrats are under now is so great that HE’S saying things like this that he shouldn’t, then what chance does someone like Michelle Obama have of NOT making history by uttering something so memorable, so stark, so true that it ends up encapsulating all the angst the public is feeling towards this administration.
