Galactic Bloviation
This Obama-bashing has to stop. (Cheney-bashing may proceed as planned.) The Healthcare Summit – called to settle these “petty talking points” and “philosophical differences” – had the President (peace be upon him) as its moderator, and an effing-good moderator he was. Well, maybe too good, because all he got for his efforts – and I do mean efforts – was a lot of sh*t about the amount of time he personally chewed up. I mean, c’mon – it was only a third of the conference: 119 minutes according to the press.
Bash, bash, bash. Have they no shame? Lacking any substantive criticism, these ignorant, teabagging Republican scumsters who are too dim to appreciate quality leadership, come up with this vicious attempt at character assassination. Well, for the record, I’d like them to know that the President (peace be upon him) didn’t use any more time than all the elected Democrats in the room at about two hours; nor, all of the Republicans who, together, used up about another two hours. What could be more fair: Two to the moderator and two each to the participants?
But, no – the slime keeps coming. Well, a*swipes, it just happens that some – maybe all – of his fellow Leftists totally blow him away in the long-speech department. Nobody I talked to at great length (communication is not the same as bloviation) could tell me why we Leftists go on at such length, but the record, FYI, is – according to the San Francisco Examiner – held by Hugo Chavez. Hugo does regular TV harangues and his best one, on a Sunday (Talk #295) came in at just a hair over eight hours. He beat out Fidel Castro, the previous record holder at 7 hours and ten minutes.
And don’t even think about all those long-winded speeches by Hitler and Mussolini; they were fascists – nothing to do with Progressives, or Leftists, or Democrats…you know what I mean. Some of our finest Democrats gave long speeches: FDR, Lyndon Johnson, William J. Clinton. So, quit the stupid criticism. You’re just jealous that we talk better than all you knuckle-dragging creeps.
