Clinton Got a Blowjob

Truly American. Truth to power using music and snark as the medium. And you'll be humming the chorus all day long. "Clinton got a blowjob". Quite uplifting, oddly.



Hat tip to Tenn Guerilla Women... and a hat tip to those that TGW hat tipped.

Let's discuss this Kerry nonsense for a moment. I wasn't going to write about it because I believe it is such a non issue. What he said doesn't even come close to what his prepared remarks were:

“Do you know where you end up if you don’t study, if you aren’t smart, if you’re intellectually lazy? You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq. Just ask President Bush.”

Kerry flubbed his speech and it came out sounding like shit. Doesn't change the fact that 104 soldiers were killed in this quagmire in Iraq last month. and, AND I haven't seen Shrub apologize for his "Where's the WMD" jokes in 2004.

But, of course, the MSM loves a non issue because then they don't have to do any real fucking work. I can't stand those guys. Even The Daily Show sorta missed the mark on the whole Kerry thing last night. Sometimes I feel that TDS has to occassionally skewer the good guys to satisfy some latent guilt of 'balance'.

Anyway, yesterday Digby shows how it works in these situations:

Hullabaloo:

If you are watching the wall-to-wall Kerry-hates-the-troops coverage today on the cablers you can see perfectly how the patented GOP sanctimonious 'demand for an apology' works.

* First, you have to be a phony hypocritical Republican. Democrats can never pull this off.
* Second, you have to choose a comment that isn't particularly heinous or is vaguely worded. You want the comment to not be particularly bad, for reasons that become obvious when you get to the endgame.......

And everybody needs to stop being pussy's about it. Kerry shouldn't of apologized for shit. Quit being scared of Rove.....

THE NEWS BLOG:

"Jesus, so many people are so nervous about what John Kerry said, like he's lying.

John Kerry is telling the truth and everyone knows it. Rich kids do not join the military, college bound kids don't join the military, only the poor and those who can't get scholarships do. Acting like he was lying or insulting people is just bullshit.

Besides, his reply got far more play than the orignial statement......."

His first reply was perfect. But, of course, he bowed to the finger wagging. Sigh.

Remember this? Remember how they boogity-boogitied this up and thumped their chests like they'd caught bin Laden himself and how it proved their War on Terra was working and how you still needed to be scared shitless because some serious threats are still out their and how you can't take any more liquids on airplanes. The reason that frat boys, when travelling by air, can't spike their hair up 'cause they won't let them have any gel. No gel for frat boys, people! WTF, man wft.

Yeah, well, not so much:

UK 'air plot:' Brothers released:

"LONDON, England (CNN) -- Two brothers charged in an alleged plot to blow up U.S.-bound airliners have been released after a British court ruled there was insufficient evidence to warrant a trial.

Pile on. Side note: Andrew Sullivan (the putz that he is) said on CNN yesterday that this is no longer an election. It's an intervention.

More Republicans agree.

An Administration Ally Goes Off-Message:

"'I think we have an administration today that is dysfunctional,' Perle said. 'And if it can't get itself together to organize a serious program for finding nuclear material on its way to the United States, then it ought to be replaced by an administration that can.'"
