Clarice Feldman: The Administration's Epidemic Speech Tic
American Thinker ^ | February 1, 2015 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 02/01/2015 11:17:17 AM PST by jazusamo

Except for Buenos Aires and the Upper East Side of New York, my corner of Washington, D.C. has the highest ratio of psychiatrists and psychologists per neurasthenic in the world. We also have the country’s most successful independent bookstore, where the shrinks, lawyers and political geniuses that populate our neighborhood hawk their books to each other.

And me. Well, I’m always on the lookout for new cookbooks to add to the collection, which is taking over all four floors of our house. Having been mesmerized by the Food Section review of Elizabeth Warren’s latest, Sioux Sous Vide in this week’s Washington Post, I decided to drive over to the bookstore after dinner and pick up a copy before it was sold out.

The cookbooks are at the far end of the main room. As I headed there I noticed a stack of books by the local doyen of the psychiatric community, Dr. Sprechenzee, titled The Obama Tic Epidemic. I just wanted to buy the cookbook and get out but the offerings were so tempting I lingered and before long chairs were pulled up and Dr. Sprechenzee’s audience hemmed me in. Obviously I had walked in just as his book spiel was about to take place. There was no easy way out without disrupting dozens of people and interfering with the seating arrangement so I took the chair closest to me and sat down.

“What, you might ask, is the ‘Obama Tic epidemic’?” the author began after wiping his bifocals with his soup-stained tie.

“It is the inability to say ‘Islamic Terrorism'. Putting those two words together seems impossible for the president and all his spokesmen and women. Their lips just can’t go there. This is, I maintain in my book, a dangerous and spreading phenomenon. If we can’t name the...

I was just about to post this excellent peice by Clarice F. Glad that you beat me too it! Definitely worth reading - not least for the advice at the end:

The only remedy I can see to reverse this habit is to make fun of them whenever they do it until they change their behavior because it is so embarrassing they run out of people further down the bureaucracy willing to make fools of themselves.

Not about Sarah Palin, but the advice at the end of the article is just up her alley, don't you think?

I love Feldman’s writing, she’s most always right on the mark.

That’s absolutely great advice and fools they do make of themselves.

Wow. The last paragraph in the article at the link is stunning. Just keep making fun of them until they can’t find anyone in their administration willing to go before the press and make himself into a fool.

Our government is so bereft of integrity that ridicule is the only tool left.

Knowing who our enemy is means we will have to fight him and ultimately win.

This Administration does not want to do either.
