I don’t really get why now the Dope in Chief is talking this way. It must be focus grouped that his admissions would bring the faithful back in the fold. I don’t believe he had a Come to Jesus moment. This is an angle somehow.
You’re right. The conversation went something like this:
“Ok, we got to do something.”
“Ok. What.”
“Ok. Call Michelle Bachmann a whore?”
“No. Been done with Brown in Cali.”
“Ok. Blame someone else?”
“No. No one else to blame. Fox is on the the fact that we are recycling people to blame now, so that’s out.”
“Hey, I got it! [finger snap] Let’s really throw them for a loop. You can actually ADMIT YOU WERE WRONG ABOUT SOMETHING! Hey don’t look at me like that, you don’t have to MEAN it. And, it can be something minor that puts the Pubs off guard, lets them feel they are winning some small victory. You know whenever they get confident they always say something stupid. It could work. What else are we going to do?”
“Ok I’ll do it. I can seem a little repentant, and that will make me seem more human. What else are we going to do? Hell we can try it. Harry is toast anyway to that looney woman and the whole damn thing’s gonna blow up anyway. I’m gonna go have a smoke. Have someone write that up.”
[It was something like that.]
