A True Elitist in Commoner Clothing

This woman is a true elitist in commoner clothing who wields her alleged prominent social position like a Sarah Palin moose rifle, and suffers from an extreme sense of self-importance. Read my earlier post of Tuesday, July 8: Hillraisers behaving like Hillbrats Check her out and write her a letter...but make sure the stationary is engraved.

A prominent backer of Hillary Clinton is endorsing McCain.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter and member of the Democratic National Committee’s Platform Committee, will endorse John McCain for president on Wednesday, her spokesman tells CNN.

The announcement will take place at a news conference on Capitol Hill, just blocks away from the DNC headquarters. Forester will “campaign and help him through the election,” the spokesman said of her plans to help the Republican presidential nominee.

Forester was a major donor for Clinton earning her the title as a Hillraiser for helping to raise at least $100,000 for the New York Democratic senator’s failed presidential bid.

In an interview with CNN this summer, http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/07/09/clinton.obama/index.html?iref=newssearch#cnnSTCVideo Forester did not hide her distaste for eventual Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

“This is a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don't like him,” she said of Obama in an interview with CNN’s Joe Johns. “I feel like he is an elitist. I feel like he has not given me reason to trust him.”

Forester is the CEO of EL Rothschild, a holding company with businesses around the world. She is married to international banker Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. Forester is a member of the DNC’s Democrats Abroad chapter and splits her time living in London and New York.

Biden Resigning. The Devil Made Him Do It.

Who is the Devil that made Biden resign, you ask? Why, it's that special someone who bought John McCain's soul, Ms. Sarah Palin. See, her last name has the exact same amount of letters as the word 'devil', two letters are the same, and the 'p' looks like an upsidedown 'd'. That's proof enough for me. A She-Devil with lipstick is still a devil. Enough said about McCain and selling himself out for cold, blind ambition, but it is a wonder to watch someone morph into the dark side of himself. If there really is karma, then here's a perfect opportunity to witness it.

So, Joe Biden said something stupid. Here's the whole miserable quote:

“Make no mistake about this,” Biden responded. “Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Let’s get that straight. She’s a truly close personal friend, she is qualified to be president of the United States of America, she’s easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America, and quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me. But she’s first rate, I mean that sincerely, she’s first rate, so let’s get that straight.”

Ya know what, Joe? Why dontcha just resign and let Hillary back on stage for her close-up. Between the lines, you practically said she was more qualified than Obama, and you said she's a better pick than you. So, seriously, resign. It's easy. It's been done before. You're never gonna be Prez. And, heavens knows, we could use more drama in this ho hum campaign.

Really, just think of it. Biden resigns. Hillary gets a 3am phone call from Barack, "Hill, this is, uh, uh, the 3am phone call you've been waiting for. Get, uh, up, and get your sunny pantsuit self over here. Uh, Biden's, uh, resigned and you're next up...uh, uh, I mean, I should've picked you in the first place but, uh uh, well, hey, that's water under the bridge, so, I'm askin' you, Hillary, will you, uh, uh, be my running mate? This ticket needs a kick in the ass and you're the shitkicker we need. Uh, Uh, just a joke. C'mon, let's take the Gold together." She accepts. Man, that would be AWESOME.

Is it fantasy? It could be fact. Nothing has been stranger or more surprising than this election.

It's a little sacrifice to make sure there is enough money to battle the McPain smear machine. Give more, or more often, if you like, but even a little goes a long way.

The World Will Be Saved by the National Enquirer

Never has a tabloid been so crucial in an election...nevermind a Presidential election. Actually, The National Enquirer is my go-to source for all things scuzzy, disreputable, potentially career-ending, but TRUE dirt on celebs and hypocritical politicos. I am placing all bets on The Enquirer to uncover the dirt that matters about Sarah "faux Hillary" Palin. You can run, Sarah, but you can't hide behind a moose (moose cliches already worn out but I hadn't used my cliche allotment yet), or little Trig, for that matter.

I have total confidence that The Enquirer will ferret out, and dole out the dough, to find out the details of Sarah's affair with First Dude's business partner back in the go-go 90's, despite all attempts of the McPains to seal all divorce files. If I didn't know better, I'd have thought that Sarah read Shakespeare in one of her 5 colleges, as this runner-up beauty queen puts Lady Macbeth to shame. But I doubt it. There's so much more one can skew SP with, but I'm not going to expend any more energy on her...I'm leaving that for The Enquirer, and when they do, they should get the Nobel Peace Prize for averting a McPain administration that would have us at war around the planet.

Enough said. I can't wait for the next issue: http://www.nationalenquirer.com/

The PALINdrome Syndrome

palindrome: noun - a word or phrase that reads the same backward as forward

Much ado about nothing: Sarah Palin. The 'much ado' part is what's distressing because this feels like a pod blasted into the atmosphere, tumbled to earth, then exploded and brought forth an alien invader in the form of Sarah Palin. Here is where the movie, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, conjures a sort of déjà vu except that Communism is replaced by right wing extremism. Here's a synposis of the movie:

"The theme of the cautionary, politicized film was open to varying interpretations, including paranoia toward the spread of a harmful ideology such as socialistic Communism, or the sweeping mass hysteria of McCarthyism (read: evangelical, right wing conservatism) in the 1950s (in 2008!) and blacklisting of Hollywood (read: blacklisting of anyone who has read a book), the spread of an unknown malignancy or virulent germ (read fear of annihilation by 'nuclear war'), or the numbing of our individuality and emotional psyches through conformity and group-think (read: FEAR). Yet its main theme was the alien (read 'Communist') dehumanization and take-over of an entire community by large seed pods (found in basements, automobile trunks, a greenhouse, and on a pool table)(found in communities in Alaska and red states that are, unfortunately, too numerous to mention) that replicated and replaced human beings (Mission Accomplished in red states...okay, not every single person). And it told of the heroic struggle of one helpless but determined man of conscience, a small-town doctor (McCarthy) (OBAMA), to vainly combat and quell the deadly, indestructible threat. "

Let's hope the election ends as well as the movie. Ok, back to "palindrome". Sarah Palin feels like someone who is both going forward and backward (the 1950's) at the same time. All of a sudden we are thrown back to the post war 50's...over 50YEARS ago... by some small time mayor from a small time town, now a governor of a state with a population less than the south side of Chicago, to a time when everything seemed, on the surface, so black and white. (No racial reference intended while, at the same time, it is quite apt.) Sarah Palin feels like a life threatening virus we have all suddenly contracted, and don't know exactly where we picked it up. Did we not wash our hands thoroughly enough while we were watching the Republican convention? Did we leave the room at exactly the wrong time and the virus jumped through the t.v.? Who knows, but this is a time for heavy antibiotics and the doctor says: don't stop taking them til November 5th.

Cirque du McPain & How to End It

Believe it or not, I'm a little sick of hearing about Sarah Palin. The circus that has become Cirque du McPain has more sky high acrobatics, spin and truth twisting derring-do rhetoric than it is possible for all the bloggers, and the National Enquirer, to verify. I have made a pact with myself that I will leave all the hand-wringing, angst ridden outrage to everybody else; and, I recommend you do the same. It's an energy sucker. We need that energy to stay focused on our task...get Obama elected. We've got work to do and don't need to pay attention to this asinine distraction manufactured by the Republican Rove machine - well, Steve Schmidt machine, a Rove alumni - that would keep us from thinking clearly and strategically.

First of all, get out your wallet. Yes, I know...I've heard it all, "Obama has a ton of money". Fortunately, it's true, and he's sure gonna need it. I don't need to tell you how much the Republicans have and will use every last penny on trying to demonize our man. I just beg you, give til it hurts. This is an investment we can't afford not to make, and come November 5th, when President Barack Obama addresses his legions, you'll be happy that you bought this stock. Better than Google.

The next this thing to do, is VOLUNTEER. Obama has built an extraordinary grassroots field organization (I've been a proud volunteer since the day he announced), and it is people on the ground who are going to make the difference by reaching out to phone bank undecideds, visit battleground states, and eventually, GOTV - Get Out The Vote - the day of the election.

Look, the McPain's are going to be around no matter how passionately you point out to your friends that, "Can you believe how that bitch (oops) lies about her record? Bridge to nowhere? She should be on it." or "Did you see how she was exploiting little Trig (the names and her family sound like they're straight out of The World According to Garp), carrying him around like a badge?" If you can change the reality of the McPain's, then more power to you. But, if you are a mere mortal worried about the outcome of the election, then stop thinking about them and do something positive.

Here's a way to release your frustration and outrage...have you ever heard of The Primal Scream? Here it is in a nutshell: get yourself in a padded room, think of the McPain's...let the feelings build until you're about to explode, and here's the kicker: let out a good, long blood curdling scream. You'll feel better, honest, and you'll be able to move on, out of the McPain orbit.

Once you've done that, you may read a maximum of two bloggers a day about the idiocy that is the McPain's, and then get to work. Later then.

Excellent editorial from the Washington Post
