If you are a groupie, after you experience your leg tingling, shuddering. obamagasm…you then listen to the sour notes, watch the teleprompter lip-sync go off timing like a 40 year old Godzilla movie with subtitles, your tin ear picks up all the clunkers…which you got for your cash.

Kevin Drum is one of the Baghdad BobbySoxers. He is still in the throes of his multiple obamagasms, so enthralled he may faint and clearly there is not much blood rushing to his brain, it’s spent elsewhere.

Obama is “the best thing going” in D.C., because his falling like a rock numbers are not as low as Pelosi or Jimmy Carter, or something.

And, if the economy was doing better, then Obama’s numbers would be better. I suppose Willie Sutton would have robbed Port-a-Potties if that’s where the money was, and Drum would find the analogy appropriate. I guess we can call Obama/Reid/Pelosi handling of the economy “waste management”…so maybe there’s an analogy there after all.

And there’s absolutely, positively no connection whatsoever to voter anger and the trillions of dollars of deficit mounted by ORP. Because, after all…it wasn’t FIRST on the list of angry voters…who, given the laundry list of sins of omission and commission by MoeBama, Curly Reid, and Shemp Pelosi…if you aren’t FIRST…all the rest don’t matter.

Look, I have nothing against Drum or any of the other tingle legged groupies. They can fawn ad faint and feint all they like. Just remind them to hang up their Nehru jackets and polyester leisure suits when they get home.
