The BO That Cried Wolf…
Here is a little something I wrote last night out of frustration and disappointment at how this primary election cycle has been run (into the ground).
I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred damned times…Democrats don’t know how to win. It’s time for a third option seriously. Maybe that’s coming.
Anyway, the story is in the link. Enjoy!
The BO That Cried Wolf…
Once upon a time in the land of the USofKKKA there lived, a BO. He was thought by all the land to be forthright, honest and true. But what they didn’t know was the BO when he needed more votes or to silence a scandal would cry wolf to get his way. One day after Little Bill Blue gave a speech about the BO’s “fairy tale” of a voting record, the BO decided that he would twist Billy Blue’s words out of context.
“Hey guys gather round”, the BO said. “If you listen to what Billy is really saying…he’s saying that my Presidential run is a fairy tale.” And the media of the USofKKKA were stunned and angered by what the BO said. And they ran after Billy with their pitchforks and wanted to put his head on a pike. But Billy escaped with a few wounds.
And the BO laughed.
Then one day the Little Old Lady that lived (at one time) in the White House made a speech where she talked about how two great men came together to pass the legislation that made civil rights a reality throughout the land of the USofKKKA. These men were LBJ and MLK and she said that their words and deeds brought that about.
This angered the BO because the Little Old Lady that lived in the White House was diminishing his candidacy which had been based on soaring rhetoric…and little else.
“Hey guys gather round”, the BO said. “If you listen to what the LOL was REALLY saying, she was saying that MLK had very little if anything to do with the process of civil rights and only the White President saved the black people of this country from the tyranny of the majority.”
This angered the media of the USofKKKA and they went after the LOL that lived in the White House, but she turned into a dragon and their pitchforks couldn’t pierce her scales… she flew off and perched on a mountain top nearby shooting flames at the BO and the media but wasn’t considered a REAL threat.
And the BO laughed.
Then one day,the Old Woman that ran on a Democratic Ticket…blundered through an interview and made a politically incorrect statement about the BO. “If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman of any color, he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept.”
A week later the BO was angered by the statement taken from some Podunk paper.
“Hey guys gather round”, the BO said. “Even though I said the same thing about myself and I quote: “Obama acknowledges, with no small irony, that he benefits from his race.
If he were white, he once bluntly noted, he would simply be one of nine freshmen senators, almost certainly without a multi- million dollar book deal and a shred of celebrity. Or would he have been elected at all?”
“She’s not saying what I was saying”, the BO offered, and some in the media looked confused at the statement. The BO hurriedly continued, “What she’s really saying is, I am an affirmative action hire!”
This angered MOST in the media who chased after the Old Woman that ran on a Democratic Ticket who was savaged ruthlessly along with the dragon by Keith with the little diddle Olbermann. But some in the media questioned the charge…quietly.
And the BO laughed.
Then one day a grotesque monstrosity of twisted conspiracy theory of racial injustice and tired Anti-American rhetoric appeared in the magic mirror named, Youtube.
And the BO was troubled by this and said…
“Youtube Youtube on the ‘net, is this Wright thing a real threat?”
And the mirror said, “Could be…”
Well as the days went along…people watched the magic mirror more and more and the media of the USofKKA started to question what they’d been told by the BO.
Keith with the little diddle invited the BO on his show where the BO said, “I did not hear such incendiary language myself, personally, either in conversations with him or when I was in the pew. He always preached the social gospel and was sometimes controversial in the same way that many people who’d speak out on social issues are controversial.”
And a lot of the media were not convinced…and lit their torches…
And so the BO looking a bit frightened and doing the only thing he does best, he gave another speech.
And many in the media were effusive with their praise of an overly long winded and unfortunately self-aggrandizing treatise that ultimately offered no solutions except justifications for unjustifiable comments, and put down their torches and clapped. And the BO admitted afterward, “In some ways, this controversy has actually shaken me up a little bit and gotten me back into remembering that the odds of me getting elected have always been lower than some of the other conventional candidates.”
But some of the media became outraged…at the BO…and the trolls that had been hiding under the bridge suddenly wanted someone to pay a toll to cross the bridge to a viable Presidential candidacy. The ugliest of the trolls was the one called, Limbaugh. The dumbest of the trolls was named Hannity, and show after show was dedicated to blowing down the BO’s house of race cards.
Limbaugh bellowed, “He praised victim culture!”
Hannity screeched, “He said one thing here and another in his speech” Referencing the line…”Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes.” As proof.
The BO released a picture showing the archaic views of the past shaking hands with Little Billy Blue. And the BO said, “See he had dealings with him too!.” And most in the media laughed and said, “he’s trying to divert our attention with a photo-op”.
Then the BO released a statement of outrage about his passport records being looked at…inferring that the Little Old Lady that lived in the White House (transformed back from her Dragon form) and Little Bill Blue had something to do with it. And most in the media once again laughed and said, “he’s trying to divert our attention with more ‘Blame the Clintons’.
And then the BO received an endorsement from a Super Delegate who went against the wishes of his kingdom and while some in the media declared his troubles over…most in the media laughed and said the endorsement was pretty much worthless after Texas and wondered if it was simply pandering?
The moral of the story? You can only cry wolf so many times before people start to question the validity not only of your claims but your integrity and your presidential viability in the General Election.
Possibly The End.
