The Young Turks

Ron Paul was Fred Thompson's bitch on Saturday night! YO! Fred, what up dog, where you at?!? What you up to dog? Hee Haww, aww shucks don' know nuttin' 'bout nuttin' -me I'm just off to da shed, do some wood sheddin', done gonna go tear some ass.

Damn! No way for real?!?

Oh fo sho boys, gonna go whip me some Ron Paul, make dat lil ol' boy my me ol' myo boyee fo sho! Gonno go woodshed his ass! Make 'm my bitch!

I'm really surprised we didn't get lots of "boys teaming up on" comments like after Hillary went shrill.

I'd like to see Obama debate Ron Paul about the war. No, why though, I mean because it is all focused and depends upon whom they are arguing against and their thesis always depends upon some larger context. Such that Ron Paul is against the war because he wants to dismantle the federal gov't and Obama, for all his tough talking new hawkish attitude would probably still...Oh who knows what he'd say at this point. Now that he's been anointed and can do no wrong, people want him to be more than just a figurehead for hope, a brainy beacon of brown brawn and big ideas, they want a dynamic leader who will not only inspire them with rhetoric, but will take it to the next level and get the job done, hunt down Osama, do the dew, right the wrongs, bring down the house and save Christmas. A tall order but after all Obama is a tall man, and he's long on change and easy on the eyes, or so they keep telling us. I just hope he don't go blabbin' about huntin' wabbits like Kerry or Romney. Maybe it's a Boston thing?

But I mean Ron Paul is a dove and Obama is now a hawk. That is the spin, It is all relative, Obama is now talking about being commander-in-chief and thus Richardson inherits the why can't we all just get along mantle (before resorting to his used cars salesman tactic- experienced, we need someone experienced, someone like, say, oh, hmm, I dunno, me!) meanwhile in the bizarro alternative universe of the republican party, McStick is running against his own shadow.

He was comical on Eat the Press. Mr. Potato Head had him running around in circles chasing his tail like a showdog on the runway. No Tim, before we had to cut taxes and I voted against that, but now to get rid of them would be like, well, I have to cut myself off here because I can't even mention the words tax increase but you get where I'm going, so then, well, that's it... (trailing off with absurdly pathetic look on his face).

Huh? Could you repeat that for the record Senator?

Hmm, um, no I can't Tim, and furthermore I won't because, Tim, the American people, you see, the American people, they deserve

Yes...?

They deserve...Well, I can't quite think of where I was going with that but it seems like we can move on now and no one will remember it.

Well, except of course for me, Senator, when I grill you on it next time and replay it fifteen times, rehashing your every mistake, and throw it right back in your face.

Oh but that's why I love you Timmy.

Go Bills.

Tim, the Bills are out of the playoffs.

Thanks Senator, well, that's all we have time for today, if it's Sunday, it's Eat the Press. Go Bills.

Uh, Timmy? The Bills are done.

Thanks Senator. Good bye. Go Bills.
