OneMoreWaste -> LipstickGate. Srsly. ??? (9/11/2008 11:27:25 PM)

People on another board I'm on are insisting it's for real... they keep posting links to sites that look just like real new sources.

They're screwing with me, right?

There is NO FREAKIN WAY this is real, right?

I mean, here I am in the United States, the year is 2008, the month is September, George W Bush is in the White House, gas is over $3 a gallon, this is the Real World, not some fantasy deal, right?

So they're definitely screwing with the perHorizontal Ruleennial-third-party-guy-who-hasn't-turned-on-his-TV-in-a-week, right?  I mean, there's no way a body electorate who can read and write and hold down jobs and not drool on themselves can consider this to be a real issue,

right?

Right?

mommy?

It's the psycho's who work in marketing, babe. They play a game similar to football called "polling" except instead of strutting about in skintight machismo, they make up skits and put them on TV. Or the web. It's a theatrical full contact sport. The actors who play Senators and sometimes, Presidents, are in a special improvisational workshop a lot of the time. It's very similar to "Who's Line Is It Any Way?". Remember that TV game show for comedians?
So Obama rode a "Bounce" out of that boring convention thing and led the polls, thereby scoring. So McCain got a chic for veep and followed up with an opportunistic second attack. The pig in cosmetics was a brilliant counter play of absurdity- Now the Republicans lead! Watch and see if the Donkeys rush a Hail Mary play to distract? Or let the crazy gun and religion lady from Alaska jam a foot in her mouth. The tension builds!!!!

It's like playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts in "Through the Looking Glass". The script writers are full of pain pills and coke just like Lewis Carroll. And yes, it can screw with your head, so just laugh at the jokes. Don't take it seriously or you'll have way too bad a trip. Like, I've actually been to those conventions, in person. I was too young, college intern, and it was like a Ralph Steadman movie. (Yeah, Wiki him)

Hope this helped? Modern life is confusing.

It's called "spin."




PrincessJ77 -> RE: LipstickGate. Srsly. ??? (9/12/2008 2:17:22 AM)

Is this what happens if I don't upgrade to HDTV???




deliciousmorsel -> RE: LipstickGate. Srsly. ??? (9/12/2008 2:20:28 AM)

Spin is for amateurs. This is the Superbowl of selling of the Presidency.

Did I mention I have a bunch of degrees in this? Anybody want to know the real reason they still smoke? Nicotine actually isn't that addictive- 5 day wash out. Then a year of low grade mopping up. What do you really need?

I know Jousting from spin.

(cocking my ear toward the horizion) Do you hear that? I think I hear Emperor Nero fiddling...  meanwhile, in Rome....

^what he said. Time to travel I suppose, the next four years don't look to promising...

See, I thought it was just too absurd to score any points. Accusing the other candidate of subtle, passive-aggressive name calling because of a week-old word shared? Does being a thin skinned, whiny-ass nit-picker mean you're leadership material these days? Am I giving the audience too much credit?

I don't think there's any way Ms. Alaska is gonna get taken out by a faux-pas. Like you said, this isn't amateur hour... You know they ran the numbers on the quantity of controversy she was hauling to the table to make sure she'd get the headlines without catching an indictment.

Then again, I think the Donks really bungled the preacherman issue, and there's no excuse for that one, so who knows? There are still some surprises out there.
