Tone Deaf
By Mitch Berg
Obama parties like it’s ten years ago…:
After pushing his $1.1 trillion Generational Theft Act of 2009 through the House last night, the White House apparently decided to throw itself a swank cocktail party. According to ABC’s Jake Tapper, the menu included alcoholic beverages (vodka martinis are an Obama favorite, reportedly) and wagyu steak.Yeah, “wagyu steak.” $100 per serving delicacy. I had to look it up, too.
…while FEMA (which, as we learned during the Katrina fiasco, is the President’s responsibility to run effectively) can’t power on to hundreds of thousands of freezing Kentuckians.
What’s the problem
I called my friend Kanye West. He says:
“Barack Obama hates white people“.
Ooh. Harsh stuff.

I seem to remember St. Ronnie partying like it was 1899 back in the day.
Meanwhile you wingnuts are dining on roast crow with chopped nuts in a sour grape reduction.

“Meanwhile you wingnuts are dining on roast crow with chopped nuts in a sour grape reduction. ”
Little early for that isn’t it? What has Obama accomplished yet? Other than to get his Katrina in by his 2nd week in charge.
Don’t suppose you could provide a link of Reagan “partying like it was 1899” (what ever that means) at the same time a million people in the country were digging out of natural disaster. Perhaps you could proved an example?

That’s not angryclown’s “role”, buzz. Apparently his role is making stuff up and believing it.

The clown’s memory is as faulty as his reasoning: Jelly Belly jelly beans ain’t $100/lb steak.

Links? Clown don’t have to show any links! Clown don’t need no steenkin’ links!
Just laugh at him and periodically remind him about his love of prop comedy.

Obama doze, people froze. So King Barry is cranking the heat to 80 degrees in his palace and dinning on $100 a pound steak, while millions enter their 6th day of intense suffering.

Rahm: Mr. President, what should we do about those poor crackers down in Kentucky?
Barry: Crackers? Excellent idea for the caviar, but don’t bring any of that Ritz or Triscuit crap in here. Get me some of those French champagne crackers and be sure they’re here before the second half kick-off. Oh, and Amy – peel me a grape.

Recall last summary when The One was campaigning in Philadelphia. He made a political mistake by not ordering a cheesestake. Fine, I’ll give him a pass on that. But it’s what he order instead……foriegn made ham from Italy that sold for $100 a pound. So much for Democrats image of being a common guy.

Haha, yeah, a bunch of hillbillies losing the electricity they’ve only had for the last five or ten years is the same as Katrina. You wingnuts crack me up.
Keep trying.

Keep trying.
Guess we gotta try harder, folks — Rip Taylor is not impressed.

Is New York like a desert island? You know, where you don’t know anything about the world outside? Just curious.

Michael Moore should make a movie, cutting back and forth between footage of the intense suffering going in amongst Applachian-Americans, and The One, sitting in his world of luxury that even the most excess of the Gilded Age would fine shocking.

“Intense suffering!” Oh, boohoo, you’re making me cry! Can you imagine … a blackout. Oh right I can. Cause I’ve been through it maybe half a dozen times.
Meanwhile, Obama is in a world of luxury: sipping pureed bald eagles through a straw and pooping in solid gold toilets.
You wingnuts are always good for a chuckle.
February 2nd, 2009 at 11:57 am
So I was correct, then: angryclown knows nothing about the outside world. Thanks for clearing that up, angryclown.

Cause I’ve been through it maybe half a dozen times.
Wow. You’re a regular Laura Ingalls Wilder there, AC! I can see it now — the line of abandoned Conestoga wagons clogging the streets of Perth Amboy, with Clown’s size 45 brogans drooping off the edge, encased in ice like a proto-David Blaine. Incalculably sad.
February 2nd, 2009 at 1:37 pm
Rip Taylor… lol!
February 2nd, 2009 at 1:50 pm
“Cause I’ve been through it maybe half a dozen times.”
Well, that explains a few things about you, Klownie.

The difference here, Mr. Clown, is that these folks are without electricity. Your blackouts result from nights of too much vodka mixed with the seltzer.
