So I just skimmed through the Boo Man thread Dubya Live Blogging. Which begins with Boo Man’s observation “He really does look like a monkey” and continues from there through currently about 85 comments. All negative, and all richly deserved.
But we are missing the point.
We are WAY off.
One of the very FIRST comments, from mlk19569, states “I’m watching with the sound off. His voice is like nails on chalkboard for me.”
Good start. Wrong reason, to some degree…read below for more on that…but a fine, fine start.
Later on, Teacher Toni says “I didn’t watch. If he can’t live in reality, then I refuse the reality that he is the presnit.”
BINGO!!!
Best comment on the whole thread.
Read on for why.
Toni, you have just chosen to stage a wildcat NEWSTRIKE!!!. To some degree, so did mlk19569, who watched with the sound off. (Check THAT one out some time, by the way. For ANY politician or suspected liar. Any bad actor as well. TV as truth machine. You can see the resultant tics and mechanical jerks that are necessary for them to present an honest face as they cobble together all of the detours and evasions necessary to lie. See it plainly, without the distraction of the actual sound of their words. And who needs to hear what they are saying, anyway? Never anything new there. Never. Same old shit, always and forever. “The most important thing in life is sincerity. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.” Hollywood movie producer Sam Goldwyn. Yup. Semi-President Butch. Living proof. Hell, you don’t even have to be GOOD at it.)
From Without a Doubt, a NY Times article by Ron Suskind published October 17, 2004 referring to a meeting he had with a “senior adviser” to Bush. Most likely Rove or one of his helpers, because the meeting was about the misadministration’s displeasure over an Esquire article he had written about Karen Hughes, Bush’s speechwriter. The meeting took place in the summer of 2002. Well after 9/11 but well before the invasion of Iraq.
So…
If they are creating new realities…living fictions, movies that draw real blood and kill real people…then as with any OTHER movie out there, if we do not attend, the movie fails.
No box office.
Headline:
“King Con, the Movie. Tanks In The ‘Burbs!!!” (NY Times…the Variety of politics. Wish it would happen.)
So anyway…GOOD on ya, Toni.
Turn the motherfuckers off.
He is a Virtual President anyway. Turn off the little box in which he lives, and…POOF!!!
He gone gone GONE!!!
Check it out.
Tell your friends.
NEWSTRIKE!!!
It’s the only answer.
Later…
