Anthony Weiner in Libspeak

Posted on by

Anthony Weiner is very upset.  A piece of legislation he wanted to pass before his majority was wiped out didn’t get anywhere in the House today.  So, he went to the floor and threw a hissy fit.  The only way it could be a worse day for him is if we were to address the “substance” of his tirade in libspeak.

1.)  Clearly, Anthony Weiner is suffering from a conundrum due to his epistemic liberal closure of thought.  The geo-socio-political landscape of the country at large does not match his illusionary world view, and his response to the contradiction has moved him to predictable anger.  We understand, and if he asks one of us nicely, we may even go and fetch his teddy bear.

2.)  Such rages are indicative of the ideological bankruptcy of the left.  They have no ideas, so they scream.  It’s just so bourgeois.  Say it with me…boooooo-zhwaaaaaaa.  Bask in the French-word saying awesomeness and know you are superior.

3.)  We should practice more civility and bipartisanship.  The country wants comity and understanding as we reach across the aisle to give conservatives everything they want.  Perhaps someday, when Weiner can pronounce words with multiple syllables, he will realize this truth.

If you don’t want to watch the video at the link above, here’s the executive summary:

AAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHH!

And remember, libspeak is more fun when you use it to describe liberals right back.

Addendum, 7/31/2010: If you would prefer a more substantive response, or more info as to why I would joke about Weiner and his “well-justified” rages, Nice Deb has a good one.

Absolutely No Comment Whatsoever on SB1070

It’s the most controversial piece of state legislation passed this year:  Arizona’s SB1070.  If you’ve heard of it, you’re on one side or the other of the court ruling.  Either you’re cheering the injunction from the rooftops, or cursing it to the depths of Hell.

Unless you’re orange.

That’s right.  The Maverick Pumpkin Charlie Crist has stated he has no reaction to the SB1070 ruling.  No comment.  Uncommitted.  Zip.  Zilch.  Nada.  And absolutely unreal for someone claiming he should serve in a leadership position.

This doesn’t even qualify as a flip.  He just doesn’t take a position at all on one of the hottest issues of the year.  Still, for him this is par for the course.

Lindsey Graham Pretends to Make Sense on Birthright Citizenship

There’s nothing else this latest complete surprise from him could be.  Lindsey Graham is saying he wants a constitutional amendment to end birthright citizenship.  In other words, no more anchor babies.  Given the timing, there’s no way this is for real.

How is this not for real?  Let me count the ways…

  1. McCain is still trying to win a primary, and a general after that.  His lapdog Graham can be hung around his neck in the meantime.  They’ve been inseperable RINO troublemakers in the Senate for years, and so very easy to associate with one another.  Graham in particular has such lack of appeal one can attack other RINOs by asking “Hey, would you like such-and-so in this primary to be one of Graham’s new friends?”  You know, people like Mike Castle or Jane Norton?
  2. It’s easy to build fake conservative credentials by proposing conservative initiatives when you can’t do anything about it.  The Republicans are barely relevant in Washington right now, thanks in large part to RINOs like Graham decimating their party.  They’re not going to move legislation right now, and anything they propose is dead on arrival.  Why not take the opportunity to pretend your conservative then if no conservative “harm” can be inflicted?
  3. Graham’s next primary is four years away, since he’s not up for re-election again until 2014.  In the interim, we can always use him to attack other RINOs trying to keep their seats through their primaries in the same manner I mentioned in Point #1.  That’s going to make him very unpopular unless he defuses his usual level of irritation in advance.  Or tries to do so without success.
  4. He’s trying to add appeal to a new amnesty bill.  So, if we let them grant amnesty, maybe they’ll do things like enforce the borders and make sense by eliminating anchor babies.  Given what happened after they tried to trade such enforcement for an amnesty in 1986, there’s no cause to show much faith that they’ll actually do it this time.

No, there’s no way Senator “We’re going to tell the bigots to shut up” is for real on this.  At best, he’s just trying to be on the right side of an issue long enough to diffuse some of the potential trouble he might cause himself or his friends.  It should be fun to watch him waffle, when it isn’t so brazenly transparent.

Court Smacks Obama With What He Wants on SB1070

Come November, this particular moment of happiness is going to smack him again.  For now, he just doesn’t realize that this injunction he thinks is in his favor isn’t going to work out as he would have liked.  That hasn’t stopped the left from celebrating, but they won’t be happy for long.

To summarize, the Clinton-hack judge Susan Bolton stopped a few pieces of SB1070 from being in force come tomorrow.  Unfortunately, it’s those parts of the law that give it teeth.  The fight’s not remotely over yet, but for now, a good chunk of SB1070 is on hold.

Now for the “smack” part.

Obama has just picked an illegal immigration fight that should last through November 3rd, or at the very least, into some of the election season.  His party is now on the WRONG side of it.  Governor Brewer picked up on that, and true to her usual strong form on illegal immigration, is on the offensive again.  The most heroic efforts of the Democrats to distance themselves from this won’t save them.

And on a brighter note, McCain’s efforts on the amnesty front are being noted by Hayworth during the primary season.  The Non-Maverick Maverick is bound to turn on SB1070 if he’s re-elected, if for no other reason that to get his press time.  Remember that he reassured us that there was nothing to fear from an Obama presidency.  We can make it his campaign slogan if he gets through August with the nomination.
