Quizzical
I just checked out Salon.com's hi-larious Bush or Palin Quiz. Take this quiz and guess who made which insane or ridiculous statement. Was it Chimpy McBushitler, the War criminal cowboy of Crawford, or was it Caribou Barbie,the Alaskan dominatrix brood-mare? Fun for the whole family!
The Salon piece really enlightened me, and I look forward to more such quizzes, such as
"GUESS WHO SAID IT?
Jeremiah Wright, or a mentally-ill derelict on the streets of Chicago?"
or "WHICH OBAMA-ENDORSING CELEBRITY HAS THE HIGHER IQ?
is it high-school dropout "I don’t know what our government does except put us into debt and blow up other countries." Madonna, or high school dropout Barbra "Drums of War" Streisand?
Incidentally, I don't know about you, but I take all my cues on how to vote from celebrities, who, as we know, are among the most selfless, well-informed and thoughtful citizens out there.
I mean, really, it is clear that Obama supporters like Fergie and Will.i.am, who did that really kick-ass video, have obviously done their homework.
In all seriousness,regular people who support Obama (you know,the non-millionaires who are actually most affected by the results of the election) should be starting to get worried about all this celebrity involement in their man's campaign.
Though they may be trying to help their guy by spouting off about the "Alaskan hillbilly" a heartbeat from the presidency,
if recent polls are any indication, every time a Matt Damon, Pammy Anderson or Maria Bello flap their gums, another thousand independents go over to the other side.
Maybe the more out-of-touch celebrities and snobby journalists in the tank for Obama beat-up on Governor Palin and point out her obvious flaws and shortcomings, the more ordinary folk are identifying with her... who can say?
All I know is that the Obama campaign's next memo to all their celebrity supporters should go something like this:
Dear Celebrity Douchebag
Until November 5, 2008, kindly shut the f*ck up.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama, Democratic Nominee for President of the United States of America
