[Schadenfreude] More On The Coal In The Stocking

The black crepe is out at [the Daily] Kos...

I don't think I've ever seen such a look of misery and dejection on the face of my daughter as I just did a moment ago. She just couldn't understand why the President would be going to Iraq when so many things are wrong in this country. "Doesn’t Mr. Bush care about us anymore?" she asked pitifully.

I sat down with her on the sofa and (as calmly as I could) tried to explain to her why the President seems to be abandoning his country. "Honey, I think his boss, Mr. Rove, sent Mr. Bush out of the country in order to keep himself out of the newspapers. You see, he wasn’t sure if he was going to be arrested today or not, and so he planned Mr. Bush’s trip ahead of time just in case...”

I tried to keep my voice steady, but it became increasingly difficult - the rage and feelings of helplessness were just too much. I think my daughter could tell something was wrong. I found myself at such a loss for words - nothing made any sense; nothing makes sense anymore. I finally had to admit, "Honey, I just don't know - I don't know what's going on in this country anymore..."

When I finished her lower lip started to tremble and her eyes began to fill with tears, "Daddy" she said, "why are the Republicans doing this to the country?" Well, that was it for me: I finally fell apart. She just fell into my arms and we both began sobbing for several minutes.

You know, you have to have a heart of stone to be able to read this and not laugh out loud. I'll confess, regretfully, that I wasn't up to the task.

ROFLMAO!!

This is just so funny!!! How pathetic!!

And no little kid is going to ask questions like this. No little kid is really going to care about where the president went today. Some sad, pathetic adult actually made this up!!

How utterly sad and yet hysterically funny all at the same time. Merry Fitzmas, y'all!! Enjoy your healthy helping of Fraedenshaude

This warms the hard, cold slab of marble I have for a heart.

Why stop the fantasy there..it continues;

"Sob..suddenly, while we were crying, jack-booted Republican stormtroopers kicked down our door and entered our room with guns ablazing.."Mr. Rove says it's time for your daughter to go to child labor camps in se asia"..they grabbed my daughter and pistol whipped me in the head..I heard 'Help me please' as these oversized thugs bit the head off our french toy poodle and knocked over our prized latte machine..they jumped into a waiting van and drove off..what was even worse..they did not wear seat belts as they sped off..sob.."

and wallow around naked in our vast piles of cash

We don't?

The stupid bastards on the left are more dramatic than a hospital scene in a Mexican soap opera. I wish they'd just breath into their paper bags and shut up instead of acting like teenage girls that got left at home during prom.

[Jaysun]

I'm not surprised. he's probably told his daughter all about how Republican drown puppies in burlap sacks and wallow around naked in our vast piles of cash.

Actually, I do wallow around naked in vast piles of cash.....but drowning puppies is sick.

[lovecraft]

This joker has a heart?

Yes a heart, a touchy feely, treehugging, gaia worshipping heart that he feels he must take all of the world's ills upon himself.........and then blame them on Bush.

Too funny..that is a great line..I'll have to steal that, er, borrow that line next time someone is being a drama queen..

[PeteB570]

Let me wipe that tear from my eye before I continue.....




Thanks, I was laughing so hard it brought tears to my eyes.

Our friends at Little Green Footballs were discussing this, and gave it a Fisking ( click the #147 to go there )

"Daddy" she said, "why are the Republicans doing this to the country?"

Smart kid.

One of the other Kossacks called the weepy CheChe out on his bullshit:

CheChe... seriously enough

This is getting old.

Crying with your daughter on the sofa again? Like on April 19? or April 27th? or May 11th?

It is always the same post! Enough with the lip beginning to tremble and eyes filling with tears.

CheChe is making it up. As someone else suggested above, I have doubts he even HAS a daughter.

I stole that. In fact, I stole the words you're currently reading.

[Jaysun]

I rarely make it over to LGF so pardon my ignorance. What's "Fisking"?

[Jaysun]

Never mind. I found the definition for "fisking".

[backhoe]

Clearly, the "daughter" is his alterego.

[backhoe]

Clearly, the "daughter" is his alterego.

Good thought. It amazes me how so many on the Left have this alter-world narrative running in their minds... Boosh/Evil/Hitler/Haliburton/Cheney/Conspiracy/Lies... and how they apply it to every situation they encounter.

Exploiting a probably-fictional child, to gain sympathy and advantage seems to be common, too- remember all that "for our children" jabber during the Clinton's depredations?

[Kenny Bunkport]

it's a mental illness.

[backhoe]

It's a mental illness.

I believe that's Michael Savage's assertion, and he may be right.

The old-timers on the Left, like Hubert Humphrey or Scoop Jackson, were people you might differ on positions with, but you wouldn't mind having them as a friend or a neighbor.

These characters I now see on TV and the web? I wouldn't trust my old dog around them.

Can you BELIEVE CheChe has posted almost the exact same thing four times in two months? This is hilarious!

Apparently he hasn't gotten the hang of this "WWW" thingy yet, and doesn't realize people remember things, either.

It's pretty bad when your own compatriots dis you.
