Obama’s puppet master David Axlerod appeared on my favorite NPR show this morning, “Wait wait … don’t tell me”. When asked a question about his charge’s pick for the official White House dog Axlerod quipped that “third choice was Miss California”, a gibe met with huge laughter and applause from the audience. I found that interesting.
So far as I know, and I haven’t been following the story closely, Miss California is /was a beauty pageant contestant who aroused the scorn and derision of the left by answering a question about gay marriage by saying she felt marriage should be between a man and a woman. For taking the same stance as Mr. Obama and his running mate, Joe Biden, the girl was savaged on liberal television – Olberman (sp?) went on a rant about her stupidity and her looks and, nationally, she’s pretty much been turned into a one-line joke, as Axlerod demonstrated.
So that got me wondering. If the NPR audience hates the woman for advocating against same sex marriage and gives their Adored One a pass on the subject either (a) they don’t really care about the issue and are offended by the girl for some other reason or (b) they do care but aren’t concerned that Obama shares the same view because they figure he’s just lying to the rubes to get elected. I’m going with (b).
I admire those few politicians willing to stand up for their beliefs, like McCain when he visited Iowa during the 2000 primary season and denounced ethanol as a government boondoggle. Others obviously don’t care what their man says, so long as they know what’s secretly in his heart. Well, that’s the side that won the election, so enjoy. As with his latest turn-around on terrorists and CO2 regulations, however, you may be disappointed to discover that you’re as clueless as to what’s truly in his heart as the rest of us.
“You can fool some of the people….” etc is attributed to Lincoln (supposedly Obama’s idol) or P.T. Barnum, but the Obama administration has taken the art of deception and mastered it.
If a photograph of the Great One cooking live puppies over a spit was published on the front page of the Sunday paper, the Obama zombies would quickly divert their attention to the ads and exclaim “There’s a sale at Penney’s !”
i love stories like this one. so long as you continue to publish your blog, i won’t miss the greenwich time at all. [even if you stop publishing, i guess i would hardly miss that poor excuse for a newspaper.] i confess that i’ll still subscribe to the wall street journal.
