Iowahawk: As a Conservative, I Must Say I Do Quite Like the Cut of this Obama Fellow's Jib

Read the whole thing, very funny.

Read out loud in a Gilligan’s island Thurston Howell voice, funnier.

Read out loud in Family Guy Stewies voice, priceless.

ping for myself to read later

LOL, okay I understand that, I even know which direction port is, I was just giving, what I thought, was an appropriate response. Thanks for the reply.

[ArrogantBustard]

Either

a) The author has had one too many Scotch & Soda

or

b) This is really biting satire.

I pick (b).

[MEGoody]

What are you doing looking at Obama’s jib???!!!

[FrdmLvr]

My sides are killing me! No one does satire quite like the IowaHawk. You Rock, Hawk!

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Let Barney Frank worry about this Obama guy’s jib.

Oh, deah, have the Hamptons become déclassé? I shall have to send my manservant to pick up my copies of Yachtsman magazine before they stack up on the doorstep again.

A sly hit on David Brooks as well, and for very good reason. A fellow with the brass-plated gonads to opine that we sheep require guidance by our intellectual superiors is one I might like illuminating with a little muzzle flash. By Jupiter, that was atavistic of me, wasn't it?

[andy58-in-nh]

Stunningly brilliant.

[Right Wing Assault]

anyone who uses more than 3 names, I find hard to take serious

He only has 2 names: David Burge

[Cicero]

Priceless.

And as someone who has known more than a few old-line Brahmans in my time, it’s tone-perfect.

I had forgotten all about Pam Harriman’s cocktail parties.

[Tax-chick]

... like some beautiful rugged Othello from a rapturous Ralph Lauren catalog

LOL! I actually went to school with some of these types - this is hysterical and dead-on.

[RichInOC]

Oh. My. God.

Christo couldn’t have gotten reamed harder if Andrew Sullivan had done it. And commanded him to squeal like Ned Beatty while he was doing it. And I bet everybody else in that bunch is shifting around gingerly on their well-padded antique chairs and thinking to themselves “I should have used Preparation H.”

Hawk, I said it, and I meant it: Thank God you’re on our side. If you ever break left, we’re in deep trouble.

[xjcsa]

I'm trying to figure out who was the victim of the satire.

Chris Buckley.

As I said to Pinch the other day - just as he was draining the last of my Bombay Safire after Moody's downgraded the old flagship to junk - “See here, Pinch,” I intoned, “we conservatives aren't such a bad lot. Just look at your poodle-boy, Brooks, why he's come around, hasn't he? He's come to realize the real importance of things. And we all know what that is: the right invitations to the right parties, the right restaurants, the right places to summer and winter, the right access to the splendid events planned by the new regime in Washington. Who are we kidding? Only a fool wouldn't want to be on the best of terms with the new emperor, right? And as everyone knows, every conservative has his price; it's just that when you're a conservative you know to sell yourself a little more dear.”

[Titan Magroyne]

Biting and hysterical! Thank you for that!

[thecabal]

Burge, you magnificent bastard! That one’s going to leave a mark, to be sure.

[Dutchgirl]

May I be included in your exclusive pinging fraternity? My friends will vouch for me...

Very very good stuff.
