Concern about Orrin's bad language: How pitiful is our own liberal team?
How silly are we willing to be? How childish? How hopelessly pitiful?
We're very, very, very slow, and everyone can see it but us. For us, the new episode began with this TPM post, then moved to the New York Magazine post to which we'll link you below.
Our team is very upset about Orrin Hatch's language! If you want to know how Donald J. Trump actually ended up in the White House, understand that this is the best our team can do. Understand that, in the end, this is all we have.
No, really—just click here. We've jumped the shark over shooting his wad! And this is the best we can do.
The gods aren't laughing at us this time. Our childishness has reached the point where even the gods are embarrassed.
We're very, very, very slow. We've been this way for at least thirty years.
Everybody knows this but us. The youngsters are making it worse.
Who the heck is [Name Withheld]: She's three years out of Mizzou, Class of 2014.
Now she works for New York Mag. Salary savings to the side, are the young uns just making things worse?
Well, liberal PC bullshit is, of course, annoying, but that's nowhere near top of the list. Before that, check out your team's constant war-mongering, and especially their devotion to neoliberal globalization. Take care of those, and all the PC bullshit will, perhaps, become tolerable...
ReplyDeleteDon't kid yourself. Conservatives love "PC bullshit". Watch them whine about having atheism shoved down their throats, when you tell them God is nothing but a figment of their dull-witted imaginations.
DeleteThe good news for liberals is that President Trump's first term is 12.5% over. So only 7 1/2 years to go until they have a different Republican president to lose to.
DeleteLike Obama lost to McCain? Oh, wait, he didn't lose did he?
DeleteI shan't be reading this blog again. Starting today.
ReplyDeleteThe only one who thinks our team is hopeless or pitiful is Bernie. Tell me again that Somerby isn't pimping for the bros these days, to use the kind of ugly phrase Somerby thinks is A-OK.
ReplyDeleteIf Rachel Maddow said "shot his wad", Bob would probably strangle himself clutching his pearls. In the meantime, Bob is desperately trying to change the subject from the maniac in the White House. Bob is truely fucking ready for the Nut House.
ReplyDeleteBizarre, isn't it? Bob ignores the gigantic maldeasance and evil of Fox News, the Russia investigations, the strange and extensive corruption of the Trump crime family, the massive surge of right wing pro-Trump propaganda into local news via Sinclair broadcasting on thousands of stations- Bob somerby has nothing to say about any of that, journalism being abused as a propagandistic weapon of the state. No, he'd rather snipe at Rachel Maddow for all the sins he imagines, while he gives disgusting Fox News a complete free pass. Bob never mentions Fox News, they dont exist in his world of journalistic purity! Ugh. This is a de facto right wing hate site now, trying to be Breitbart pathetically. We have a lunatic monster running amok in the White House with a den of thieves and vandals fiction could not dream of. To Bob, it's the Rachel Maddows of the world who are the real problem. It's sad to see elderly people decline in their mental faculties so drastically, and act out their irrational resentments as dementia sets in. My sympathies for anyone who has to care for him in this state.
DeleteChrist Bob, you are a prissy old crank. I think your jealousy of others in journalism has driven you over the edge into bugfuck Tea Party territory. This is pretty much a right wing site now, you picking and fussing about every little thing the "liberal" media does, with heaps of scorn and moral imprecation. When are you going to write about the million sins of Fox News, Bob? Oh, never? Too busy wanking to Sean Hannity? That's why you're a hypocrite, Bob. You chose to be the attack dog against this alleged "liberal media", when in fact it's just ordinary journalists doing their best to describe reality every day. Bob, tell us all about "deep state" conspiracies. It seems like you really want to.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work, Bob. As ever, one of the best sites on the web.
ReplyDelete"Our team is very upset about Orrin Hatch's language!"
ReplyDeleteIt is not your team Bob, and nobody is upset. They are amused that the old codger from Utah used a sexual term to describe his party's political failure.
Of course, to "old codgers" it never was a "sexual term"; the latter has been a quite recent variant use of the phrase.
DeleteAs Poul Anderson once penned:
Once in ancient days, the then King of England told Sir Christopher Wren, whose name is yet remembered, that the new cathedral of St. Paul which he had designed was “awful, pompous, and artificial.” Kings have seldom been noted for perspicacity.
...
In the case of the King and Sir Christopher, however, a compliment was intended. A later era would have used the words “awe-inspiring, stately and ingeniously contrived.”
And that is one reason why "our Team" is amused.
DeleteWOW!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the most wonderful thing i have ever experience and i need to share this great testimony.
About how i get my ex husband after a breakup.
I never believed it, because i never heard nor learn anything about it before.

Am a woman who love and cherish my husband more than any other thing you can imagine on earth. My husband was so lovely and caring after 3 years of marriage he was seriously ill and the doctor confirm and said he has a kidney infection that he needed a kidney donor, that was how I start searching for who can help, doctor has given me a periodic hour that he will live just 24 hours left, that was how I ask the doctor if I can be of help to my husband that was how he carried out the text, the confirming was successful, I was now having this taught that since 3 years now we got married I have not be able to get pregnant, can I ever get pregnant again? That was the question I ask the doctor, he never answer his response was did you want to lost your husband? I immediately reply no I can't afford to lose him. After the operation my husband came back to live and was healthy I was also ok with the instruction given to me by the doctor, after 3 months my husband came home with another lady telling me, that is our new wife that will give us kids and take care for us, that was how I was confused and started crying all day, that was how my husband ran away with his new wife cleanable. Since then I was confuse don't know what to do that was how I went back to the doctor and tell him everything, he told me that, this is not just ordinary, it must be a spiritual problem that was how he gave me this Email: Ahmedutimate@gmail.com that I should tell he all my problem that he can help, that was how I contacted he and I do as instructed.
