Barack Obama: Somehow Different?

Boots On The Ground, Buster! BushFeetDesk.jpg image by kskiska

The delightfully forthright “Mad Jewess” blog offers further proof that foaming spittle may cloud vision.

MJ spews forth on any number of current right-wing obsessions, gives a shout-out Birther High Priestess Orly Taitz, then for some reason goes off on a photo of Barack Obama with his feet on his desk:

 

“Click on this PIC below, what an ARROGANT ASSHOLE:

 

 I suspect what we have here is Dignity Of The Office Derangement, a condition manifest in delusional belief that whatever behavior the victim chooses to find offensive never occurred under prior presidents.

 

The condition’s poster child is of course Bush family lackey Andy Card, justly renowned for his launch of the Jackets-Always-In-The-Oval-Office myth.

 

 

The First Great Wave Of Bush Nostalgia!

Oppressed small businessman hope to invent fond memories of the Bush Era, starting with this provocative billboard.

Such miracles have been wrought before with creative application of the writerly arts, even with Bush himself, so watch out.

Tear-down Torment: Veteran Reagan Critic Despairs Of Fighting Gipper Viscosity

Hitting Myths    http://www.danielsdse.com/assets/images/fine-art/ronald-reagan-statue.jpg

Its come to this: even the author of  an anti Ronald Reagan tome has switched from critique to searching for a usable Reagan past.

Will Bunch warmed the hearts of millions with his 2009 screed,  “Tear Down This Myth: How the Reagan Legacy Has Distorted Our Politics and Haunts Our Future.” Now, with 2011’s looming Reagan Centenary, Bunch is back with a paperback edition, and his sub-title throws in the towel.  Readers may now enjoy “Tear Down This Myth: The Right-Wing Distortion of the Reagan Legacy

Apparently discouraged after years of  pointing to ever more elaborate and endlessly repeated lies, myths and evasions,   Bunch seems to think he can embarrass Reagan cultists by pointing to gaps between present claims and Reagan’s practice.

What went wrong?

As it turned out, the inauguration of Barack Obama and the arrival of a large Democratic majority in Congress instead showed the limits of government in the face of this powerful philosophy that is loosely based on Reagan’s 1980s presidency but distorts or exaggerates the reality of much of what happened in those years.

Huh?

What Happens In Vegas May Haunt Us For Centuries

The Reagan Legacy Project has an exciting new look, and new worlds to conquer.

Gearing up for the late president’s 99th birthday has seen a flurry of activity from Projectors, who seek to plaster Reagan’s name, face, or scared relics over as much American real estate as they can grab.  In their sights: Nevada.

He Glows!

Silver State Gipper fans paint a future both poignant and optimistic,  when “future generations of Nevadans can look up at Mount Reagan one day and ask, “Mom, Dad, who is Reagan?”

The organizers complain that Reagan’s greatness is unmarked in Las Vegas, when actually he’s all around:  The Reagan Era has become Vegas code for all things worn, played, and clapped out.

The room, however, seemed like a relic from the Reagan years compared to the other places we’ve stayed in Vegas

  Bally’s Las Vegas   

“It was clean except for the windows which… hadn’t been cleaned on the outside since the Reagan administration.”

 

 

 Riviera Hotel & Casino    

” The rooms haven’t seen new wallpaper or carpeting since the Reagan administration.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nixon Wallows In Watergate

Oh, It’s Never Over

The Presidential Cryptologists at Flatsigned Press have pulled another one from the grave, recruiting the late Richard Nixon to hype a collection of Watergate recordings on cassette tapes, somehow missing the 8-track era entirely.

We last enjoyed Flatsigned’s antics when they surfaced something Kennedy conspiracy-ish allegedly signed by the also dead Gerald Ford. Fallout included a company lawsuit [still before the courts] against mangy hat-wearing racist Don Imus for mocking them while reading Flatsigned’s ad copy.

Flatsigned’s Chairman Tim Miller is presiding over a bankrupt company, but he’s found a new field of endeavor, billing himself as a “presidential historian” to such discerning media presences as Neil Cavuto  and leather queen Gordon Liddy. http://www.orbitcast.com/archives/G_Gordon_Liddy.jpg


Miller won’t stop at despoiling the dead.
