Blazing Saddles if "socialist" was the the "N-word"

When it was reported last week that MSNBC's Carlos Watson start(ed) to wonder if socialist is the new N-Word, I was at a loss for words. Until today.

I read some tweets by Peter Schmugge directly addressed that. I told him I was stealing it.

With that said, I'm updating an old post.

Here is Blazing Saddles if "socialist" was the the "N-word"...

The never-ending Obamagasm

During this recent presidential election ... and since ... many of us on the Right have concluded that the mainstream media (MSM) get .. the best word to describe it is "orgasmic" ... over Barack Obama.

An Obamagasm, if you will. One of the most famous examples is the tingly feeling that Chris Matthews gets in his leg by listening to Obama.

Only, unlike an orgasm, this Obamagasm never seems to end.

Then, I read this article on Fox News. It says there are some that suffer from something called Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD). A "never-ending orgasm," to quote the title of the article.

To date, there is no explanation for the disorder. While researchers are still trying to figure out what causes PGAD, in "Textbook on Female Sexual Dysfunction," Dr. Irwin Goldstein, the head of the Sexual Health Program at Alvarado Hospital in San Diego, summarized that possible reasons may include one or more of the following:

... Neurological changes like brain anomaly, post-injury or pelvic nerve hypersensitivity;

... Vascular changes, like pelvic congestion;

... Pressure against genital structures;

... Medications, such as the start or discontinuation of anti-depressants;

... Psychological issues.

(Dr. Sandra) Leiblum has added intense masturbation or partner stimulation, emotional stress, anxiety and starting or stopping a hormone regimen as possible causes.

When I read that, it all made sense. The MSM suffer from Persistent Obama Arousal Disorder ... or POAD.

And, for nearly the same reasons:

• "Brain anomaly" -- in other words, they aren't right in the head.


• "Pelvic congestion" -- and you can't get more congested than having one's head up one's ass.


• "Pressure against genital structures" -- which a head up the ass will certainly cause.


• "Medications" -- and I'll readily believe that many in the MSM are on drugs.


• "Psychological issues" -- to which I can add nothing; it says it all.

So, let us on the Right have compassion for those in the MSM for getting all orgasmic over Barack Obama.

They're sick.

But, I'm telling you nothing new.

CBS: Complete BS

The headline at CBS Marketwatch reads "The Sarah Palin Phenomenon Is Doomed" -- a story that can also be found at CBSNews.com.

Not unexpected from the likes of CBS.

CBS, after all, stands for Complete BS.

Why do I say that?

Well, the subhead to the Jon Friedman article reads: "Media live to build you up -- then knock you down."

Wwwwhhhhhaaaaaattttt?

Oh, wait. Maybe it's not the Jon Friedman that's the senior columnist for Marketwatch. Maybe it's the Jon Friedman that's a comedian.

No, that's not it. There's a picture, so it's the regular Marketwatch guy.

And he really thinks that the media have built up Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK).

So, before he returns to his native planet by way of whatever space ship brought him here, let's clear a couple of things up for Mr. Friedman:

First, the media hasn't built up Gov. Palin. You don't build someone up by spending 24 hours a day attacking them. That's called "tearing down."

Or, it would be, if it was working. But it's not.

Next, if you didn't make the person, you'll have a hard time breaking the person. What you should have done, if you were smart, was to do what the subhead implies: build up Sarah Palin. Tell nothing but sweetness and light. Make her your media darling. Then, when you were ready, turn on her.

But no. You were opposed to her from the start. So there's no way to turn on her now. You blew it.

Now, I'm not saying that something won't ... or couldn't ... happen to take the lustre off of Gov. Palin.

Sure, it could happen.

But you in the media won't do it. You'll need her help.

But, you know what? Based on the way you've handled things so far, you'd screw that up.

And I'll be watching and pointing and laughing the whole time.
