Fleeing Thoughts: Politics

-So because of Barack Obama's comments about religion and guns being the last refuge the lower middle class jobless cling to, he is labeled an "elitist." Which he probably is, although I think his comments have a ring of truth to them, they were just inartfully put forth, and were perhaps better not put forth at all. Whatever. The people calling Obama an elitist are elitists themselves. How could they not be? There's something like 375 million people in this country, and not a whole lot of them run for president, much less get as close to being their party's nominee as Obama, Clinton, and McCain. It's very elite company. This is similar to when politicians accuse each other of "playing politics." Duh.

This is Dana Perino. She is the current White House Press Secretary, meaning she is the face that goes before the public to put a nice spin on whatever has been cooked up in the evil cauldron of the Oval Office. Perino is a very attractive woman, far easier to look at than Ron Nessen was. Ok, that joke's about 35 years too late. Sorry. Anyway, I just saw her on TV, talking about something or other, I don't know. I can no longer stand to listen to anything this White House puts forward, and I turn off the TV or switch channels, or at the very least hit the mute button, whenever I see President Bush. However, while I may not want to hear what Perino is saying, I do like to look at her. It is disconcerting to me, though, that a person this attractive, sort of clean and fresh faced and lovely and seemingly without the blood of Satan coursing her veins, is the mouthpiece for the worst president in US history, a man who surely must take his running orders directly from the depths of Hell, which, oddly enough, are located in the Vice President's office. In my naive mind, no one who looks like Dana Perino should be the voice of something so wrong.
