yoda vs. rush

Over at TAPPED, in a post titled Jedi Mind Tricks, Adam Serwer explains why Obama loves the rrp's* embrace of Rush Limbaugh.  Read the whole post.

The reason the Obama administration is happy to wrap Limbaugh around the GOP's neck isn't because they're afraid of him. It's because everyone outside the GOP base thinks he's repulsive. The conservative base is so consumed in the self-satisfying exercise of hating their political opponents that they've lost all perspective. They're getting their butts kicked, and they don't even know it. Worse, they seem to think they're actually winning the argument.

Perhaps the rrp needs to listen to some advice from Yoda, " But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. "

*rump republic party

nobody could have predicted...

That after successful negotiations for a stimulus bill that Karl "Republicans have a permanent majority" Rove would say that it is good for the rump republic party.  Isn't everything?

he won

Just ask him.  Oh yeah he also tells Rush, "Bite me."

Barack Obama - Change Is Gonna Come
by Brandan313

its not civil...

but it is exactly how I feel.  Rude Pundit is worth quoting at length.

Because yesterday, the United States of America, east, west, north, and south, motherfuckers, shook its collective ass at and farted in the face of the Bush administration, of John McCain, and of the entire right wing that, since Ronald Reagan, has yanked this nation further and further rightward like it's a leashed dog. We bit the hand that fed us, man, and the blood tastes so very good....

A great big "fuck you" to the warmongers, the fearmongers, the hatemongers, and the neocons. Last night, we said to them, "You can't scare us anymore." And we shoved their Iraq and their 9/11 whoring and their Iran threat and their WMDs and their pre-emptive doctrines and their Gitmo and their torture right up Dick Cheney's ass and laughed while he tried to get it out 'cause it burns his sphincter so fucking badly....

and finally for the conclusion...

Let us dance, motherfuckers, mad, grotesque, ancient dances that lead us into ripping our clothes off, eating the hearts of our enemies, and fucking like the carnal goddamned human beings we are, all around the burning flames of an ideology that told us we were traitors and un-American. No, we can say now, loudly, this is what America is.

I totally agree.  that's all.

and now we can laugh

Obama Win Causes Obsessive Supporters To Realize How Empty Their Lives Are

Teh funny.

it's over

going to drink, liberally, I suppose.  Oh yeah, Obama wins. I almost don't believe it.

yes, Virginia there is a Democrat!

Tell any one you know in Virginia to get out and vote.

Obama X

The wingnuts attack.  

What Ezra says.  

Granted, it's probably (okay, certainly) not true. But if that crazy person who runs Atlas Shrugged is right and Barack Obama really is the son of Malcolm X, that would make my day. Honestly, who wouldn't give Malcolm props for that one? And think there's anyway we can fit Tupac into the bloodline? Or maybe Obama actually is Tupac? You know that whole shooting was some bullshit, right?

I'm not even sure why this is a bad thing if it was true.  Oh yeah, BIG SCARY BLACK MAN!!!  OOGAABOOGAAAA! Of Course, I am a flaming commie, so I hope he is Malcolm's son.

one week muthas

Great speech.  Make sure you vote and your friends and kids etc... VOTE!

so it begins

The ATF broke up a plot to assassinate Obama.

Obama and teh cool

This is awesome.  Ezra puts it better than I could.

One of the side stories to Obama's appeal among the youth is that he's actually, well, cool...  And this has an actual effect. There's lots of chatter in the media about Sarah Palin's ability to speak the "language" of the conservative base, or of rural America, and how that matters. Obama's tendencies are dismissed as somewhat frivolous affectations. But Obama is speaking in a language familiar to younger Americans -- he's the first candidate who is recognizable to that generation, and my sense is it's going to manifest in two weeks, where the youth actually do turn out for him, rather than proving a disappointingly unreliable constituency as they have in the past.

I would only add vote early and encourage everyone else to as well, that is all.
