Now where was I? Oh, right; talking about distractions.
Yesterday as we learned from Secretary Panetta and General Dempsey that we did “everything possible” even though neither BO nor Hills were kept appraised of the attack on our consulate in Benghazi.
Apparently nobody in news central found that odd, as the evening’s newscasts, podcasts, posts and tweets were preoccupied with other critical issues. Most were busy communicating dire warnings and hand-wringing over the impending blizzard in New England. Because it’s winter, and these folks have never seen a blizzard before. Not one like this anyway.
Oh, and the manhunt in California for the murderer who has killed several people was also high on the must play list, as it plays into the cause du jour - gun control. No mention of the murderer’s political affiliations however (because being a member of the anti-gun club, the I-heart-Obama club and the Piers Morgan fan club seems to rule out his being a right-winger; although he may be a bit mentally instable).
And speaking of gun control and the mentally instable, what is it with celebrities and politics anyway? Why do they feel compelled to share their meager thoughts on real issues with the rest of us?
Is it because their talent, training and experience gives them special insights?
Take Chris Rock...(“Please!” h/t: Henny Youngman) for example, one of multiple celebs who showed up in Washington this week to support Big Guy’s gun control plan and to “DEMAND A PLAN.”
“The President of the United States is, you know, our boss. But also, you know, the president and the first lady are kind of like the mom and the dad of the country.”
On dear, another little Hollywood genius who flunked Civics: it’s the other way around. Big Guy is not the boss of me. The preezy works for us, remember?
(snip)And dear old Tony Bennett – how can I put this? Shut up and sing, already! No wait: I heard your last live performance; shut up and lip-synch!
Butt seriously, we need gun control to avoid the “kind of turn that happened” in Nazi Germany? Not to put too fine a point on it, butt, uh, the Nazis were really good at using “gun control” for their own nefarious purposes.
(snip)Butt speaking of Nazis, who-in-the-hell is in charge of Big Guy photo optics these days! Sheeze, check out this shot from yesterday of Big Guy’s gun control and immigration campaign stop in Leesburg, VA:
Knowing how people read things into optics, and jump to conclusions, I just don’t see how the shot with the eagles is going to be helpful in this debate, or any other.
“DEMAND A PLAN”
Can we just be blunt about this here?
When they say demand a plan what they’re really saying is how do we take the people’s freedom’s incrementally.
They’re looking for the plan to first register then confiscation our guns plain and simple.
We need to consider disarming body guards for celebutards.
