And Keep Moving
OK. Enough of this mawkish memorializing at the top of the page. I feel like enough of a contributor to the endless propaganda re: The Great Event. Moving swiftly on.
On last night’s Daily Show, Jon Stewart was serenading Jen Petraeus to the tune of Falco’s “Rock Me, Amadeus.” In fact, the whole Petraeus segment was called “Iraq Me, Dave Petraeus.” I’ll admit that I wished I’d thought of that, but at the very least I can claim to have rocked the Falco pre-Stewart, so there. Just me and every non-com to come across the guy in the mid-to-late 80′s. To quote Mos Def, “can I have a dance” ain’t really that original. But at least it’s a bit more clever than the MoveOn “General Betrayus” ad, which – if cloyingly silly – at least should get a guffaw now and again. Needless to say, the outraged Republicans are up in arms over that one, and by “up in arms” I obviously don’t mean actually ready to fight with arms (Republicans, you know), but rather whining petulantly while huffing and puffing across the full media spectrum. I often think that Harry Reid could win 65 seats in the Senate by just getting up after one of these GOPer “I do believe just caught the vapors” acts and just saying “Hey. Outrage Boy. Eat a dick.” Then sitting down.
Betrayus. OK. It is kinda funny. But I’m sticking with cartoon Dr. Zaius.
