FEATURING THE COMEDY STYLINGS OF JOHN EDWARDS
Thanks to a tip from Owen of Boots & Sabers, I discovered the web site of Democratic presidential hopeful and 10 megawatt asslord John Edwards.
So many cute items here.
First (per the comments to Owen's post), notice that in the 2000 election (click on Gore-Bush 2000), that petty little prick still thinks Florida is up for grabs.
Second, on the right side, check out his wacky T-shirt. It's a picture of a turkey. With Bush's head. IT'S FUNNY!
Well, maybe it's not. Let's do a quick review on how to be funny, shall we? In order for a joke to really work well, it has to be based on a widely-held stereotype. Doesn't matter if it's true, it just has to be familiar to the reader. Now, how does a turkey play on a Bush stereotype?
[impatient foot tapping]
Well?
That's right. It doesn't. Except in Edwards own fever-deliriumed imagination, Bush has never been associated with turkeys, either wild or domesticated. Sure, Edwards tries to make a connection by claiming that Bush's administration "laid an egg", but that's hardly Turkey-specific. All birds lay eggs, as do reptiles and platypi. Sorry, J. E., just not funny.
Then there's his list of "Why Bush Gobbles"
Bush's war on work has lead to more than three million lost jobs.
Bush has shifted the tax burden from the wealthy to the working class.
Bush has no plan to win the peace in Iraq.
He has passed the first anti-choice legislation in 30 years
War on work? WTF? I thought it was the Islamofascist war on freedom that did that with Sept. 11?
Shifted the tax burden to the working class? Uh... I got my check.
No plan? What was that 87 billion dollar thingy?
Anti-choice legislation? Yup. Can't get an abortion anywhere, now. Or something.
So, Edwards is neither funny nor honest. Who the hell is gonna vote for this peckerhead? People who like clichés, I guess:
"common sense solutions", "get America working again", "keep us safe yet preserve our Constitutional rights", "for responsible government"
As opposed to all the many other candidates seeking to implement wild-ass theories, make Americans unemployed, hurt people, violate their rights, and promote insane totalitarian government?
Tell ya what Johnny, give me one damn thing you stand for that didn't come out of a political fortune cookie, and you've got my vote.
F***head.
