“Is that enough rope, do you think, Ms. Warren?”
That DNC agenda is shaping up… interestingly:
Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren announced late Monday that she is slated to open for former President Bill Clinton at this summer’s Democratic National Convention.
“It will be an honor to share the convention stage with President Clinton on Wednesday, and to talk about what is happening to America’s families,” Warren said in a statement released by the Democratic National Convention Committee.
Oh, it will be an honor, all right — like Spinal Tap opening for Led Zeppelin. You might be wondering just what the heck a near-laughingstock like Warren brings to the stage, and the answer is: Very little.
Putting Warren up there isn’t about introducing Clinton or helping to reelect President Obama. It’s about giving Warren enough exposure to help her win back “Ted Kennedy’s seat.” And the Democrats are desperate enough to risk it.
Well, if the president is re-elected on a “You Didn’t Build That” platform, I suppose there won’t be any arguing that it’s not a mandate for socialism.
If I may steal a headline,”All the President’s Women.” Warren, Wassermann-Schultz, Pelosi, Jarret and Emanuel seem to be strident, one note ideologues.
That while appealing to a like minded base seem to be rather off putting to the rest of the voters.
The amazing thing is that the Dems do not get it. Reading what they say in defense of Warren and Obama on the “You did not build that” fiasco shows that they are doubling down.
Consider this from Bloomberg http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-07-30/why-you-didn-t-build-that-resonates.html :
“The president’s speech calls to mind a second-season West Wing episode, in which speechwriter Sam Seaborn (Rob Lowe) explains to the staff of some liberal house members why he won’t insert a line in President Bartlet’s upcoming speech. They want the president to attack Republican tax cut proposals as financing “private jets and swimming pools” for the wealthy. As Seaborn argues:
Henry, last fall, every time your boss got on the stump and said, “It’s time for the rich to pay their fair share,” I hid under a couch and changed my name. I left Gage Whitney making $400,000 a year, which means I paid twenty-seven times the national average in income tax. I paid my fair share, and the fair share of twenty-six other people. And I’m happy to ’cause that’s the only way it’s gonna work, and it’s in my best interest that everybody be able to go to schools and drive on roads, but I don’t get twenty-seven votes on Election Day. The fire department doesn’t come to my house twenty-seven times faster and the water doesn’t come out of my faucet twenty-seven times hotter. The top one percent of wage earners in this country pay for twenty-two percent of this country. Let’s not call them names while they’re doing it, is all I’m saying.”
If the writers of the West Wing know how to convey a leftist spin, how can the WH be so dumb?
This is perfect.
The Criminal in Chief is way too good at hiding in plain sight.
The more proud outspoken marxists who appear in public the better. Doesn’t matter if they are good at sugar-coating or not. OF COURSE they are going to lie. At least this idiot lady is proud enough of her craven ideology to want to defend it in public. I say, go for it. The election needs to be about the United States vs the United Socialist States.
The worst thing that can possibly happen is for them to successfully hide one more time.
Let’s have it out NOW. It won’t be any easier two or four years from now. There may not even be an election as we have known them until recently in two or four years.
Well, if Bill and Lucy from Awakenings (aka Fauxcahontas) stay at the same hotel, it is very likely to the Cherokee and the Share-a-key convention.
High cheekbones and low character and all.
With so many Democrats staying as far away from this convention as possible, they need to fill the seats with Clinton’s bevy of female groupies and peace pipe smoking (supposedly) fake tribes of cross-sitters.
The Bimbo Akimbo audience should be perfect for the Kardashian depth of political theater.
Would love to see an anti-Warren ad that features her words juxtoposed over images of the Occupy creeps. The one of the kid crapping on the police cruiser would be priceless.
Will she be in traditional Native American dress?
“You might be wondering just what the heck a near-laughingstock like Warren brings to the stage, and the answer is: Very little.”
Well, she might be one of the very FEW people around today that can still make Obama appear relatively competent. In almost any other state besides Massachusetts, Warren would be 30 pts down to a pile of used Kleenex.
Buck O’Fama,
Nice to run across you again. Miss your rapier-wit posts since Don Surber shut down.
On his radio show Howie Carr said that if Mass were any other state she’d have dropped out of the race by now.
I can’t believe she may actually win the election. Hopefully there’s a silent majority in western Mass.
Not sure whether drunkblooging the Doctor’s speach should come with a Surgeon General’s warning or IV instructions.
So what you’re saying is that the conventions are politically motivated events? I’m not sure I believe that.
So, they are gonna help her out by giving her some prominent face time at the convention? Have they considered that she might not help the DNC much in return when she gets up there? Hey Dems, you are supposed to put your stars up there, your most compelling people, not your struggling duds! The speakers are supposed to improve your brand, not hurt it, so everyone benefits. Idiots.
They chose… poorly. I’m cool with it, though.
C’mon, give her credits, she is the only one who dares show up and appears with the Teleprompteur. She has nothing to lose.
Hush. Let’s pretewnd not to notice. They might go ahead with it.
