The Babbling Brooks of the NYT Manufactures ‘Dignity’ for Obama. A Farce Follows.

Abstract: David Brooks sets out on a sacred mission to bestow or prop up the illusion that Obama has ‘dignity.’ This obvious feint into the sticky political outer limits of realty must be from some editorial assignment, probably as a penance, to bolster the image of this monumental failure and Brooks has risen, so to speak, to the sordid task. A typical propaganda piece follows whereby the new candidate for dignity has his name intercalated among others from history with well-defined authentic dignity.  He is unconvincing and comical in his attempt.  B. Hussein Obama may be more properly associated with ‘judge’ Sotomayor, Pee Wee Herman, The Boston Strangler or Jack-O the Whack-O, a sordid collection of losers with whom we cannot use the word properly. Brooks only undermines his own credibility with a soggy load of crap like this.  This effort is intellectually equivalent to unplopping a camel in the hot sun.

As we peruse the NYT—aka the Walter Duranty Papers[1][2]--an obdurate  oddity of filtered   information and a rusty turn-of-the-crank Marxian siren,  heading for bankruptcy, we must always be prepared to suffer through missives and other literary mechanisms to get to the bottom line of their current propaganda message. They are all about leftist politics. The NYT can grant the proper social or economic solution to all known problems of society and will condemn all who would disagree with their findings. Today, our Chief Babbler David Brooks [3][4] [5] seems to gather his all for a mighty sortie on the political battle fields and, after digging through history, he can endow the Old Gray Lady with a heart-string plucking testimony to the shimmering dignity of a man who has none. Obama needs a boost or some tightening of his political truss straps and here, Johnny on the Spot is the NYT with a fresh propaganda piece to fabricate the required PR.[6]

Analysis of the method:

This is a name-association propaganda piece whereby virtues of known persons with some desired attribute are tossed around in a gossamer cloud of spice and light with bells ringing and, at a propitious moment, the name of the dolt is shuffled in the deck so as to give the reader the impelled conclusion that this bozo is among those who have this precious attribute. This is pedestrian and generally lower in quality than the average Sonnet of Adoration we read in the NYT for problematic characters of the left. We have read better from the Times.

We can watch David turn the crank for a while until we are bored to tears:

“When George Washington was a young man,.. ”[7]-- In Search of Dignity By David Brooks Op-Ed Columnist July 6, 2009 [Emphasis is mine in all quotes.][All quotes are from this link in this essay today unless otherwise indicated.]

Predictable.  How could he be so sophomoric?? Was this written for him? Is this in the top line of his mandated outline?

““Gordon Wood has written, “Washington became a great man and was acclaimed as a classical hero because of the way he conducted himself during times of temptation. It was his moral character that set him off from other men.””-- David Brooks July 6, 2009

And some more—lest I lose control and tire of this anguish and delete the whole mess:

“Today, Americans still lavishly admire people who are naturally dignified, whether they are in sports (Joe DiMaggio and Tom Landry), entertainment (Lauren Bacall and Tom Hanks) or politics (Ronald Reagan and Martin Luther King Jr.).”-- David Brooks July 6, 2009

Where is Bill Clinton or Nancy Pelosi and why are they left off this list of naturally dignified persons??

Not to bore the readers with a rummaging exercise through the tombs of lost enterprise, we can just abridge Brooks’ conclusion at this point with this summation:

“Americans still admire dignity. But the word has become unmoored from any larger set of rules or ethical system.

But it’s not right to end on a note of cultural pessimism because there is the fact of President Obama. Whatever policy differences people may have with him, we can all agree that he exemplifies reticence, dispassion and the other traits associated with dignity. The cultural effects of his presidency are not yet clear, but they may surpass his policy impact. He may revitalize the concept of dignity for a new generation and embody a new set of rules for self-mastery.“-- David Brooks July 6, 2009

Finally, we get to the end of this rubbish and can focus on the point: Obama has failed to deliver on any promises he has made to date like holding unemployment down  to 8% or less, lowering  or managing taxes for those who make $250,000 or less, ‘stimulating’ the economy, which is crashing and much  more. He spends like a Madoff or a Michael Jackson. He has done noting but honk and blow to the winds and now looks like a jerk.  He is an ideological racist who hates White Americans and blames the Anglos for the problems in this world and publicly blames us for all evils.  His most favorable comments seem to go toward our enemies like the maggot Hugo Chavez or the Russians or some Middle East Satraps who hate us and live greedily off oil revenues while financing terrorism with some of the loot. He will not condemn the maggots of the third world. He apologizes for us.

The Babbling Brooks frantically inserts, from the shadows, some manufactured observations about Obama that are non existent because he must redefine ‘dignity’ to make it fit the current political crisis. To think that a radical Neo-Marxist can embrace even some warped and mystical elements of ‘dignity’ when he sat for 20 years and howled and shouted at Whitey in the pews of Jeremiah Wright’s House of Hate. Racists now have some form of dignity?

From a previously edited blog:[8]

Senator Barack Obama told us about the ‘typical white person’ and denigrates whites[9] for ‘clinging to their guns and religion’ and escapes any accusations of overt racism by the left. Obama is an ideological racist, a bigot, an arrogant elitist and a racism enabler and all this welcomed by the rabid left as they grunt and grab at the tax base. He can listen to the rabid, racist howls of Jeremiah Wright and see nothing out of the ordinary.  He can explain all this. He cannot disown his pastor or church for what they  said. Then, he did.[10]

And:

"And it's not surprising then they [read Whites...ed] get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."[11]—Barack Obama off camera in what he thought was a safe environment to express his views.[12] [Emphasis is mine in all quotes.]

Where are the clichés about how a man chooses his friends?

He has always surrounded himself with undesirables like Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright and now has his PR man Axelrod and Dead Fish Immanuel[13] [a hopeful ballerina with a stubby bird finger he lose while slicing meat at Arbys[14]] close at hand in the White House.[15] What a parade of dignitaries!

More celebrities with whom we can counter this screed and defeat t he NYT attempts to put Obama in with dignified persons [from a previous blog]:

‘He seems to have nothing to say about Cold Cash Jefferson[16], Good Time Charlie Rangel the Crook  from Harlem[17] or the ramblings of the mental midget Maxine Waters, a psychotic racist and cognitive peanut, who wanted to nationalize [socialize in her words] the oil companies:[18] “And guess what this member* would be all about? This member would be all about socializing — er, uh. [Pauses for several moments] …. would be about … [pause] … basically [… taking over, and the government running all of your companies.” [19] Waters also fantasized about the CIA peddling drugs.[20] He did score with Henrietta Hughes, a welfare queen over a new house, but “she is not milking the system.”[21] Tribuo mihi quispiam nusquam.[22]More top talent.’[23]

By using the Brooks Propaganda Device of the Day, we can confidently metamorphose the definition of dignity to any extent to suit Obama’s warped character. Obama has the same kind of ‘dignity’ that we might give to Sotomayor[24], Pee Wee Herman, The Boston Strangler or Jack-O the Whack-O.

These people are all disgusting losers and incompetents.

All Brooks has accomplished with this screed is to unmoor his reputation.

The Old Red Lady of the Old Gray Lady Howls at the Moon. Palin has Rattled Her Cage Door.

Abstract: Maureen Dowd flies into an incoherent rant and attacks Governor Sarah Palin for stepping down from her job but offers us no substance as a basis for her journalistic abuse. Dowd twists every word and theme in the Palin announcement but omits any reference to the central message about a ‘higher calling.’ The lack of an explanation about her future has infuriated the sordid left and their journalistic bowl scrubbers at the Times, Huffington Post and other shin plasters. Palin has changed her plans and now the frantic left grunt and grab for a defense against her new but unknown and dangerous intentions. The kind of journalistic know-how used here is best left in the cuspidors of shabby taverns of the lower East Side of New York and out of sight.

We are always entertained by the writings that appear in the  NYT—aka the Walter Duranty Papers[1]-- as they attempt to ‘form public opinion’ or merely  justify the antics of their  far left benefactors--their ideological partners in Congress-- by suggesting new and sweeping changes that ultimately lead to socialism, inflation, debt and the  loss of our  Constitutional Rights.  This has been the mission of this tome for many decades so we need not bother to search any of their written works for a trace of any substance that might conflict with their sacred, to them, mission.

Today, we are treated to a mega dose of unbridled and unsanitary vengeance heaped upon the governor of Alaska from the Old Red Lady[2][3], [4] of the Old Gray Lady[5] [Dah Dowdy Dowd today]. [6] Does Maureen cook her hair in the microwave??[7] Where does that color come from? As a chemist, I know that some chemicals that color can eat through glass. [8]

We recognize that ‘the people have a right to know’ all the sordid details of politicians and that our beloved newspaper in the city will shower us with such knowledge commingled with bits of  truth as is necessary to make their point as far as the right is concerned. Nary do we read much about the miscreants and social failures of the left. Richard Cheney can be dragged through the literary latrines with his face down but monsters like Ted Kennedy, John Kerry and Good Time Charlie Rangel get as light a treatment as possible in the NYT and associated rags.

This is expected and is all part of the game so we wonder what Sarah Palin has said that requires her to brace herself for an onslaught from Old Red Lady. There must be some substance, some new dirt since Maureen scoured the dumpsters in the little town of Wasilla on a personal digging mission during the race last summer and found something, or held it back. She must have kept some of this find secret as now she unleashes a thunderbolt against Palin with gusto and dynamism and a few toasts of vinegar.

Let the unmasking of Sara Palin begin!!!

“Sarah Palin showed on Friday that in one respect at least, she is qualified to be president.

Caribou Barbie is one nutty puppy.”-- Now, Sarah’s Folly By Maureen Dowd Op-Ed Columnist Published: July 4, 2009 [Emphasis is mine in all quotes unless specifically indicated as in the original.]

That is almost enough for me! But, give me the dirt!

“Usually we don’t find that exquisite battiness in our leaders until they’ve been battered by sordid scandals like Watergate (Nixon), gnawing problems like Vietnam (L.B.J.), or scary threats like biological terrorism (Cheney).”-- Maureen Dowd

Oh, you left out the Clintons, The Kennedy Klan in all their whiskey-soaked grogginess’. But, we have to expect a bit of bias before the hammer comes down from on high in the NYT on Caribou Barbie. Here we may have an example of sectional cryptomisoxeny. [9]

Now, we read a survey of various prattles and snicks that have described others in politics, but no mention of direct evidence against Sarah?? Gee. We did get some third or fourth hand rumors of diagnostics about ‘narcissistic personality disorder’ that was attributed to her months ago. Can we rule out Michael Jackson, John Kerry, Billy the Bimbo Banger Clinton or maybe Pee Wee Herman as having narcissistic personality disorders?

“As Alaskans settled in to enjoy holiday salmon bakes and the post-solstice thaw, their governor had a solipsistic meltdown so strange it made Sparky Sanford look like a model of stability.”-- Maureen Dowd

Here it is!! We are waiting!!

“What looked like a secret wedding turned out to be a public unraveling as the G.O.P. implosion continued: Sarah wanted everyone to know that she’s not having fun and people are being mean to her and she doesn’t feel like finishing her first term as governor.”-- Maureen Dowd

Did she say that?? Gee, I missed that part. Maybe Fox News edited that out for clarity.

“Palin’s speech is classic casuistry.[10]”-- Maureen Dowd

On the off chance that Maureen knew what this word meant before feverously ransacking her thesaurus, we can wonder just what part of her speech produces this conclusion. Maybe this essay is confined to many things that  Palin did not say.

Upon announcing her stepping down from the very popular governorship of her state we find this transliteration:

“Why “milk it,” as she put it[11], when you can quit it? “Only dead fish go with the flow,” she said, while cold fish can blow out of town.”-- Maureen Dowd transliterates Sarah Palin.

“The maverick must run free when greener pastures beckon. The musher must jump out of the dogsled when warmer climes call. As Palin’s spokeswoman, Meg Stapleton, says, “The world is literally her oyster.”-- Maureen Dowd mangles the message of Sarah Palin.

We haven’t seen this much excitement in a commentator since something slithered up Chris Matthew’s leg [12] as he mind-melded with something lurking in the mists[13] while watching Obama give  his Philadelphia Speech sticking up for the rabid racist Jeremiah Wright. She is on a wild rant; we wonder why. Matthews, much like Dowd, must have hit his orgasmic perigee; the only oyster Chris has left is to follow Dan Rather to Ratherdom.

“But just remember, beloved Alaska, it’s all about you.”--Maureen Dowd mangles the message of Sarah Palin.

The interesting observation about this unsystematic dart toss is that it has no basis in truth. It seems that every comment has been twisted in some toxic fit of fringe journalism based on Freud or what many thing Freud should have said.[14] It is a sour screed and is appropriately equivalent to spitting onto the crowd from some 5^th floor balcony. There is no substance or analysis here, but there is a wholly artificial and cynical slant on the future designs of this potential national political candidate. The central message from Sarah was about her as yet undefined ‘higher calling,’ which nobody can decipher as yet.[15] Sarah has something in mind and media hacklettes like Katie Couric and now The Old Red Lady are attacking people in full passion and abhorrence. They must fear Sarah very much because if she was a minor player she wouldn’t make page 18 of what is left of the Old Gray Lady. Katie needs to wash her hair and Maureen needs to have somebody wash her mind. These two look like they are heading down Dan Rather’s pathway to oblivion. Maybe their jobs are in jeopardy. Dan’s is finished because of his sleaze. [16]
