Political Humor

And it was hiding on the grassy knoll.

It was the one that was uploaded to Anthony Weiner’s Twitter feed. This explains everything and is much more plausible than the notion of a crazy liberal assassinating his political career all by himself.

There were over 30,000 print news stories on Inauguration Day published world-wide on Tuesday. The record level of teat suckling reminds me of a classic children’s song…

Old Media had a money farm ee i ee i o

And on this farm they had a cash cow named Obama ee i ee i o

With an Obama report here, an Obama report there,

Here a report, there a report, everywhere an Obama report.

Old Media had a money farm ee i ee i o

If you listened to the mainstream media you would believe the President was about to part the waters of the Potomac River and remove the salmonella from peanut butter products.

By the way, the parting of the waters ceremony is brought to you by Progressive Insurance, providing the best flood coverage since 1899.

The media will leave no column or story unturned until it contains some reference to the President in order to sell newspapers and ad revenue.

I turn to the sports pages today, the first section of the newspaper I usually read, and what do I find on the cover? Obama holding up a Steelers jersey with his name stitched on.

I saw a midget at the mall and do you know what he told me? He said that Obama is going to shrink the size of things to within reaching distance for little people.

This is a tall order to say the least. It also shows that no one is immune to the tentacles of the media hypnotism and hype.

To top all that off, have you heard about the two people adrift in an icebox for twenty-five days after their ship sank?

Did the media ask them how they passed the time?

Reporter: “Yes, how did you kill time in the icebox?”
Castaway: “It was rough. Despite the fact we were on a ship transporting board games we managed to grab only Jenga and Don’t Spill The Beans before it sank. Not the best choices I might add under the circumstances.”

Instead of asking the interesting questions however the MSM stuck to their agenda.

Reporter: “Once you were rescued, what were your first thoughts…on Obama’s inauguration?
Castaway: “Well, with being at sea in a refrigerator for almost a month without any food or water , and now finally being rescued, we haven’t really thought about it.”
Reporter: “So you are a racist?”

This is going to be a long four years, or in the words of Obama: “8-10 years“.

[Disclaimer: Yes RL also drinks from the Obama popularity trough but at least we are honest about our motives.  We exploit we do not suckle.]
