Turdblossom's Tin Ear
Former architect of the former permanent Republican majority Karl "Turdblossom" Rove was reported recently to have made the following remark about Sen. Obama at a breakfast for Rethug "insiders":
"He's the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini and cigarette that stands against the wall and makes snide comments about everyone who passes by."
"Country club?" "Martini?" Please, Turdblossom, only those well-heeled members of your audience would be able to relate to your imagery. In fact, the guy you portray sounds a lot more like the smirking dimbulb of a Preznit who gave you your snide nickname and who you helped inflict on America, not like a guy who was raised by a single mom on the southside of Chicago. But it does highlight that your tin-eared reality, and that of the "insiders" you were sharing this ridiculous view with, is defined by the country club, the martini, and the "hot" date. Rethug values exposed again!
