Casting Off The Shackles Of Immense Weath, Position And Prestige
By Mitch Berg
Andrew Breitbart at Big Hollywood on ithe cavalcade of hypocritical celebs who, mirabile dictu, are pledging to change the world for the better now that Bush is out of office.
Because, y’know, he kept them all in handcuffs and locked in the basement of a Halliburton office:
Moore’s nauseating video [watch the whole nauseating thing here] — which, like Steven Soderbergh’s “Oceans” franchise, grants a pristine look into the modern celebrity’s sense of self-importance — is not a sign of desire to serve the country under Obama. Watch, by March this pledge like New Year’s resolutions will fall by the wayside. It is a sign that the Democrat is in the White House now. It is a sign that they get to sleep again in the Lincoln Bedroom.Twenty years ago AIDS was the number one cause for the Hollywood left. Remember the trendy red ribbons at all the self-aggrandizing awards shows? Hollywood has moved on (dot org) to better blame-your-fellow-American causes. But President Bush didn’t. And aside from Bob Geldof and Bono , they ignore this president’s demonstrable goodness
Remember – it’s Obama’s election that makes it possible for these vacuous ninnies to do what they supposedly believe is right.
And yet…:
Amazing that Geldof and Bono could valiantly fight their battles and serve humanity without being paralyzed by the Leader of the Free World 2000-2008’s all-encompassing awfulness.
Remember this video: It is a instructive relic of the era of celebrity decadence and boutique anti-Republican activism under President Bush. It is a sickening display that they want fast and easy absolution for having comported themselves like ill-behaved children for eight difficult and war-torn years.
Good luck, President Obama. The rest of you can go to hell.
Absolutely.
(Except Marisa Tomei. She can be saved. I can just feel it).
Dumbest of the lot:
Anthony Kiedis (”To be of service to Barack Obama,”)
Kiedis, of the Red Hot Chili Peppers (a band I hated twenty years ago) is pledging servitude.
God Bless America.

Did you notice? The oceans have begun to recede. I think the planet is starting to heal. It’s even warmer today.
Sigh.

Wow, it’s non-stop Messiah worship everywhere. You really realize the much hatred MSM (and non-MSM) has for Republicans when you see how they treat a liberal Democrat.

I don’t mind this at all. It’s a moment of clarity, if we choose to pay attention.

I’ve had it up to here with Obama coverage…it’s like he’s been campaigning since election day. I can’t even watch my simple pleasure entertainment news, I have to turn it off and watch Raymond and Two Men reruns, I can’t stanit! Just lets get past the inauguration and bring on the mundanity already 😛

Hey, I’m in favor of a lot of what they say that they’re going to do . . . although I’m not exactly betting the farm on the folks who just declared war on the Sudanese slavers. But, hey, filling up the water bottle from the tap more? Now, that’s change that I think the Obama youth might be able to follow through on.
As for Barry O’s servants, well, sheesh, that’ll last about as long as my own pledge not to immediately call for Obama’s impeachment. (I think I can hold out until at least 2:30.)

That said, there is something a bit strange about folks in Bel Aire pledging to meet their neighbors, find out their names, and ask if they can be of service to them. Hey, Britney, how you doin’? Yeah, I’ll be happy to have the gardners not trim the shrubbery so loudly when you’re having a hangover.

The mummers parade ends tomorrow.
Then it is our job to get the word out. The Pope of Fools has already pledged to pick up where W and Pelosi left off and will put this country into a debt we’ll never see the bottom of…that’s a given.
BUT, if we’re smart, and if we elect smart people, we can use this spending free-for-all to strangle the left where they live….local control.
When the fed finally cries “uncle”, Democrat state legislators are going to be forced to lie more forcefully than ever to keep their rotting pirate ships afloat.
We all need to become “American Democrats Exposed”. We need to keep people like Ramstad at arms length and to protect and encourage true conservatives like Michele Bachmann.

Damn, damn, damn; turns out that Cafe Press doesn’t do kneepads. I’m thinking that Barry O kneepads would sell real well — hell, if I could get the MSNBC concession, I’d be set for life.

Swiftee: it’s about liberty, prosperity, security, family, culture. Showing the people why each of those matters to them, no matter WHAT party we’re talking about.
The GOP has done an incredibly bad job of that in the past ten years.

Just so I can plan when to make the trades, the stock market should be back over 13,000 by, what, say 3:00 PM today?
January 20th, 2009 at 11:24 am
That’s why I say we need to elect smart people…that’s not always Republicans, Mitch.

I can’t wait for Governor Dayton to come in a straighten out Minnesota’s mess.

it’s about liberty, prosperity, security, family, culture
No, it’s about what the government can do for _you_ — get you a job, fix your 401k, give you free healthcare — and who’s going to make sacrifices to make this happen.
Other people.
Sixty-nine million people believe that.

Well; that didn’t last long. One of them just flushed after peeing, and another bought another bottle of water.
