Fun With Letters: Part Eleventy Seven


Obama's a Dirty Effing Hippie!:

"President Obama has officially put forth his hand and an olive branch to the leaders of the Middle East, we are left with only one relevant question. How long will we have to wait for a freedom believing, rights activating, inclusion promoting, and progressive leader from the area to respond in kind? Unfortunately, the answer to that question would be a question mark! As currently, in that area, no such leader exists."

Ouch! A snap and zing from Al Gretzky. Yeah, that would be this Al Gretzky, who seems to have gone from failed politicians to old man shouting from his porch.

So, here we have Al's latest emission, in which he derides Pres. Obama for reaching out to others, and for attempting to smooth some ruffled feathers. "Fuck that" says Al. Because nobody in the Middle East wants to get along, nobody. It's classic "tree falling in the forest" logic. Fuck hope. Fuck niceness. Don't open the door until they come crawling.

That sounds familiar...Nah, must have been a tv show.

  1. Big Gretz Al knows, as we all do, what will really bring human rights, democracy, and lasting peace to the middle east: invading a country there and occupying it for a decade or more while trying to steal all its resources.

    The conclusive proof should arrive from Iraq any minute now.

    Yessiree, any minute.

  2. You want conclusive proof? Stephen Colbert declared victory in Iraq on Monday night. From Iraq! Done and done.

  3. I'm probably missing something but I don't find Colbert funny, satirically insightful or even interesting.

    I thought he reached people on the level of "he looks like a nerd and he's obnoxious". Not as bad as Bill "martyr" Maher, or the other guy, Jim Stewart (?), that spawned colbert. But I guess these guys with their glib leftist pronouncements and mean spirited satire leaves some people feeling better about themselves.

    C'mon, who thinks its funny to make fun of rush limbaugh's addiction whether you like him or not? Great satire.

  4. Rush should be mocked. Or are you unfamiliar with his stance on drug abuse?

    Glib and mean-spirited pronouncements? Um...pot, meet kettle.
