Greek Tragedy? [Good News Alert]

So all the buzz today was supposed to be about two big Wednesday speeches -- Bill Clinton’s and Joe Biden.

Why, then, is everyone in Denver talking about stagecraft?

It’s simple: Reporters got their first glimpse of the stage where Barack Obama will deliver his speech tomorrow night at Invesco Field. Reuters described the set as similar to a "Greek temple."

Thus a legend -- not the good kind -- was born.

Said one Democrat: "This is a disaster of mythical proportions." Said another: "It's not enough that he wants to be president -- he wants to be Zeus." Said the first: "Will he send down thunderbolts from the mountain?"

Those are the Democrats -- though assuredly not Obama partisans. Cue the Republicans: The RNC blasted around an e-mail referring to the "Temple of Obama."

"Tomorrow you're going to see Obama come down from Olympus to be among us mere mortals," Michael Steele, the former lieutenant governor of Maryland, told reporters in Denver.

Note: The readers' comments at the end of the article are a MUST READ!

Obama 4:12 - And He was well known for striking down His enemies with His signature weapon; a speeding Greyhound bus, under who's justice-hungry wheels many a former friend and ally were thrown as divine punishment.

LMAO!

[longtermmemmory]

Thunderbolts zapping thought crime!

Thunderbolts silencing the internet with fairness doctrine.

Thunderbolts destroying all class status. (except the limos of his friends)

LOL!! Your right, those comments were hysterical!!

[goodolemr]

Ah but the democrats (and media) are supposedly united.

Obama just sets himself up for this stuff. Yike.

Obama is going to try to milk the Martin Luther King speech at the Lincoln Memorial for all its worth.

Obama aint no Martin Luther King.

I hope McCain has an Wright/Black Liberation Theology ad ready. Obama either lacks judgement for staying in a radical Black Liberation Theology "church" for 20 years or he actually believes that nonsense.

I’ll say he’s not! He’s more along the lines of “I may not, uh, get there with ya’! Um, inhalator. Hold on, I can’t hear m’self. I’m glad yer excited though.” LOL!

The comments WERE a riot! One desperate Dim even had to bring up Larry Craig and link him to the “Greek” thing. To bad Mr. Sinclair can't be there. Gay folks always love that “over the top” stuff—fake Presidential Seals, gaudy jewelry, and such.

[singfreedom]

Good one! ROTF!

Obama 4:13 Yea, verily, even the One’s own typical pale mother of his mother, although fourscore and three, was spared the treadmarks he deemed so necessary for his ascension to the Office of the Oval in the palest of pale houses.

[singfreedom]

Where is Obama’s Mother? Is she dead from all the close exposure to third worlders, or is she an embarassment to “the One”? What up with her missing-ness?

[Paladin2]

Hmmmmmm - Greek?

Will Larry Sinclair be on stage too?

[Roy Tucker]

I thought his running mate was the plagiarist.

[Right Wing Assault]

Where is Obama’s Mother?

She daid.

Hmm, a Greek Tragedy? I guess it is if you are already totally invested in success, to the point you cannot even dare to consider the least failure.

To me, this is looking like an exchange from ‘I, Claudius’:

TIBERIUS (turning from offering a libation to Zeus): You know, your family is beginning to resemble a Greek Tragedy.

AGRIPPINA (his niece all of whose brothers Tiberius has either had executed or exiled): And you resemble a Roman farce.

That’s what I see coming: a Roman farce. Seneca cannot be too heavy, nor Plautus too light.

The columns: For Barack, it's called "StageCraft". For Republicans, it would be called "phallic symbols" by the same MediaCrafters.

The leftwing media doesn't dare! make mention of anything "sexual" because it might set off the Hillary voters, again.

I wonder if the fact that Barack has TWO Phallic Symbols in his temple has "meaning". ;>
