The Golden Oldies

Christian Grantham does a little scolding over at Nashville is Talking because I've used some phrases and words that he disapproves of, in an attempt to sometimes inject a little humor, and sometimes to inject my true feeling into this blog. I would comment over there, but it involves registration, and I'm too lazy for that...so my response to the cherry-picked "soundbytes" taken from 17 out of over 700 posts in the last 5 months.

chain smoking inbred idiots | elitist hicks | - That was in response to Republicans who feel its OK to attack urban liberals for their values, of which Christian Grantham is one.

big bowl of crazy with a side of nutz and a wackadoodle chaser | - That was a comment about Jeremiah Wright, preceded by "Ultimately, there are two versions of Wright; the full version and the abridged version. The full version is still kinda kooky, but also funny, somewhat insightful, and engaging. And the abridged version..."

merry band of complainers | - A characterization of people who complain about the Democratic primary process not being fair to their candidate.

empty pantsuit | - Maybe that was wrong, but Hillary jokes about the pantsuits all the time, one lil' jab wouldn't hurt.

rightwing hack | - Bill Hobbs most certainly is a Rightwing Hack.

race-baiting, lacking a better word, bitch | - Geraldine Ferraro most certainly is.

stupid, bullshit | - In regards to the "bullshit" move to claim a victory in Florida, and people being "stupid" enough to buy into it.

shrill and repulsive | racist whites | - The assumption that a vote for Hillary is a vote against Barack implies that she is so unlikeable that nobody could vote for her.

a bunch of egg heads | - The phrase the Hillary camp uses for people with college degrees and economists.

incessant pandering | - Dead on description of the gas tax proposal.

effing pathetic | - A John McCain press release that was, effing pathetic.

a backwoods hole in the wall throwback to a worthless era | uneducated rightwing moonshine swilling elitists | - Mississippi and the NRCC respectively. Back to the first link, if its OK to attack urbanites, why isn't it OK to attack rural voters?

congenital liars | - The Clintons, need I say more?

racist white dudes | - Blacks and Liberals won Pennsylvania for Kerry in 2004, not racist white guys as the media believes.

71 year old white guy | - A very accurate description of John McCain.

washed up elitist HACK | - A satire of what Hillary might say in response to Bruce Springsteen's endorsement of Obama.

gun-toting, bible-thumpin', whiskey pounding good ol' gal | best goddam small town school marm East of the Mississippi - The image being portrayed by Hillary after Obama made his "bitter" comments.

p.s. Thanks to the fellow bloggers who apparently voted me your favorite Obama blog in Tennessee, my opinion wasn't asked, but assuming this emailing did take place...thanks!
