Real belly-laughs to be had here, as Republican bloggers, their brains quite scrambled by disappointment, find some footage in which they allege Obama flips McCain the bird during a speech.
To what ultimate end or purpose Obama might choose to embellish what are supposed to be epic, history-making addresses with such childish gestures, the bloggers do not tell. The po-faced comments are a joy.
A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
Wow, they really are.

ReplyDeleteAn entire vineyard of sour grapes.
Too much ideological argument and a campaign that went on way, way too long led to a kind of corollory of Godwin's Law. You could see the fissures and demonizations on both sides unfolding day by day. A month is more than enough for healthy democracy.
ReplyDeleteI like the OP's comment:
ReplyDelete"There used to be a time when presidential candidates would be very careful to avoid offensive gestures like this."
Of course, he's quite right. Politics just can't be taken seriously any more if people aren't bothered to do simple things like monitor their every bodily gesture in case it ends up being analysed by bloggers.
