Oh, man ...

That line about the three-alarm fire in the BS alarm sent me over the edge. Woo. Great stuff, Rhod.

Obama is the tireless braggart with no witnesses to any of the grand accomplishments. It works on the insecure and those similarly situated to Obama. The rest of us ... well, we call the fire department.

"mere mention of his name brings a smile and breathless enunciation of his name to the droids reading the news, followed by lingering footage of their divinity bleating some numbing inanity."

Outstanding, Rhod. Best turn of phrase I've heard all week. But then, it's only Sunday.

Rhod said...

The devoted drool over the yammering of Obama for the same reason that the home-shopping channels are so succesful.

They all offer the impression of a good deal and reassurance that being a simpleton is no disadvantage in America, maybe even a step up from imbecile.

I used to have the same response to Billy Bob Clinton a decade ago.

Rhod said...

Star, Droopy Willie was Moses compared to this clown. I got the impression that Clinton sometimes knew the truth, where Obama is simply a mouthpiece for the academic goons who invented him.

Everything is about him. In his eyes. I can't stand him.

Your descriptions were so good I could put faces to the debate class goon. "can't measure the distance between simple communication and a steaming pile." That's hilarious! Great writing!

"He ignites a three-alarm fire in your bullshit detector just by saying "hello"."

I like that one, oh, do I like that one.

This should be put in a movie, one of those City Slicker kind of movies where it's followed by a down to earth belly laugh that floats off stage left.

Thanks for a great line.
