Clowning Around

Daily Kos: State of the Nation:
"The Show Must NOT Go On
by DarkSyde

It doesn't matter if it's apologists defending the latest incomprehensible Republican screw-up or Bush's schizophrenic immigration policy. The MO is predictably the same. Some right wing Bozo comes out on a carefully managed stage with a spiel so ridiculous that it would really be more appropriate if presented by a guy pedaling a unicycle and juggling GOP talking points to circus music in full clown regalia, while a mini-Karl Rove chatters around grinding an organ and holding out a cup. It doesn't matter if the clown falls off his unicycle over and over and drops all the talking points. Someone stage right-wing will throw him new talking points to juggle, and he'll just pretend they're the same ones he started with. It doesn't matter if the clown kills a few audience members in the process or sets the big tent on fire. None of that will be mentioned and the reviews will be rave.

Sean Hannity will note that the clown was wearing a yellow ribbon on his vest and the Rove monkey had a miniature Uncle Sam hat on, so critiquing the show is exactly like blowing up the Statue of Liberty and fragging our troops. Bill O'Reilly will angrily denounce anyone who doesn't agree with him that this is the greatest clown ever and the monkey is a super genius. . ."
