It wasn't supposed to be this way. Right now, William Rivers Pitt should be the life of the party at the Democrat convention in Denver. At least in his own mind. Yes, the William Rivers Pitt of his fervid imagination should now be holding court in Denver. Awestruck Democrats approaching his table at an expensive restaurant and shyly asking for his autograph. Prominent politicians walking up to the seated Pitt and whispering insider jokes into his ear as Pitt nods approvingly. Newscasters surrounding him asking for his views on the various speeches. Probably even sitting in on a panel of MSNBCers giving his play by play of the events unfolding on the convention floor. But it was not to be. Instead his May 12, 2006 Karl Rove indictment scoop backfired on him bigtime relegating him to the permanent status of an insignificant pariah whose time is spent shuttling drunkenly between his Boston tenement to Bukowski's. Even his own posts in DUmmieland reflects his downfall. In contrast to the faux insider info (which was invariably wrong) that he used to post regularly in DUmmieland, he now rarely posts. And when he does it is usually just copies of articles he's read. So now that the Democrat convention has started, Pitt's aspirations for what could have been have been stirred and he is now posting with greater frequency. Of course, his posts are still pretty much meaningless but their frequency on the subject of the convention gives a clue to his yearnings. In 2004 he actually was at the Democrat convention. This year, Mr. Nobody is posting from the frontlines of his gloomy Boston tenement. One of his posts takes the "brave" stand of (gasp!) praising Michelle Obama's speech last night as you can see in his THREAD titled, "Michelle. Obama. Is. MAGNIFICENT." Yeah. And. Pied. Piper. Pitt. Is. Insignificant. So let us now watch the Pied Piper Pitt shout out his agony about his obscurity in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, giving a shoutout to the Lib half of infamous team of Leopold & Lib, is in the [brackets]:
Michelle. Obama. Is. MAGNIFICENT.
[Pied. Piper. Pitt. Is. Insignificant.]
Blowing the doors right off the joint.
[Posted Pitt blowing his lunch on the doors of Bukowski's.]
This is a shining moment, and I can hardly believe I am actually seeing it with my own two eyes.
[Seeing it on the tube in a dingy Boston tenement, NOT live like you would be in the Alternate Universe where Karl Rove was indicted and Pitt would be a famous party player. Now on to the other DUmmies...]
She could be pres too
[And em-press too]
Indeed.
[Replied Pied Piper Pitt.]
what a concept...human beings back in the white house
[What a concept...Pied Piper Pitt posting while sober.]
We're not dreaming. This is real. This IS the mountain top. Let us be represented by those like us. She is real. Damn. Please let this be.
[Meanwhile Pitt is praying, "Damn. Please let my wasted life just be a bad dream."]
I am SO pleased she is acknowledging those who came before us... those who helped paved the way. Tied in with the message of hope for the future. Intelligent, passionate, genuine... damn.
[For the first time in my life, I'm proud to be a drunken Bostonian.]
She's a better speaker than he is. Wow! Sorry Barack. But the lady's good.
[Maybe she is the one who should have been at the Saddleback forum.]
She's hit a grand Slam! Amazing Speech. Pelosi - TAKE NOTES!
[Yeah, Pelosi sounded like she was just listing talking points read off the teleprompter.]
KO says case closed
[That's when KO declared himself to sound "borderline sycophantic."]
Are you there?
[Asked a DUmmie of the Pittster.]
Nope Sitting this one out. Thank God.
[Pitt answered like he had a choice.]
To experience this moment- to live in this time, seems almost like a gift not a curse. What an opportunity America is being given.
[Give me your address so I'll know where to send your Guy Fawkes costume in a couple of months.]
In hindsight, not at all surprised. But I'd never had the pleasure of hearing her speak under any circumstances, never mind a high-wire act like the one she pulled off tonight. She shoots. She scores.
[Pitt shoots. In foot.]
I think she connected with America tonight. When she finished I had to find a quiet place to let it sink in. She moved me to tears and Tom Brokaw had the gall to call it "well crafted". It was absolutely beautiful and we've had damn little beautiful for the last seven plus years.
[Damn that Tom Brokaw for not dropping to his knees and crying in ecstasy at the sound of Michelle's voice.]
I told my wife that I am now unexpectedly excited to see even just the style-change that the Obama's will bring to the White House. I am so used to flat, life-less First Ladies. And gray, featureless presidents (who, none the less, do great harm).
[Elect the Obamas because they have better fashion sense. Well, folks, it's going to be interesting to see if there will be more Pitt posts secretly yearning for a future that never was.]
Pitt does have a thing about punctuating every word in a sentence with a period, doesn’t he?
What a Blowhard.
Yea Pitt from that stupid speech alone you feel she could be a president too?
No wonder you were home last night.
Oooohhhh, this oughta be good! :D
[Replied Pied Piper Pitt.]"
Is that the ROYAL "indeed"? The thing that comes to mind every time I read one of these threads is "drama queens".
I wonder if most Dems are like Pitt, or if he really believes his own bullspit? Nobody can be that enraptured by a candidate for a political party. Nobody sane that is. Look at the abuse all the Pubbie candidates have taken on this forum especially McCain. Conservatives look at all their candidates warily. Dems really do seem to see their candidates as perfection in human forms.
Excuse me, that would be “drama.queens.”.
They think of Michelle as a cross between Jackie Kennedy and Coretta King. We think of Michelle as a cross between Aunt Esther and Angela Davis.
LOL! FUnnie picture!!!
My Mom and Dad said that Jackie O had class that none of the Dems First Ladies had since. I’ve seen pictures of her, but I’m not sure if that was the time or whether it was her style.
I guess he didn't learn about punctuation at his local SOCIALIST TRAINING GROUND (AKA: Public School!).
It was definitely her own sense of style :) For example, little pillbox hats had already been around, but she made them chic. Even the French (who think they have the monopoly on style) were impressed with her chic :) And she was one of the few who could make a straight-line sheath dress look good, LOL.
