SF Gate’s Mark Morford: 12 Things To Throw At Bush. Oh, And His Son-In-Law Is Gay, Too

Where do they get these guys?
Is there a Maureen Dowd School of Editorial Writing out there somewhere?
There must be, because once again the SF Gate’s very own Mark Morford is doing a very, very good imitation of her style of opinion writing. That is, witless, snarky, immature insult that passes (or not) as political opinion. I think it’s supposed to be funny, too.
Anyway, he’s come up with 12 things that should be thrown at President Bush besides a shoe. Top of the list is:

1) Rainbow flag
Obvious, but effective. What better way to say, “Thanks for keeping the last fundamental civil right in hateful lockdown for another 20 years by kowtowing to the sexually ignorant and the religiously malformed, you sad lump of homophobic lint.”
Bonus suggestion: Attach small photo of Bush’s new son-in-law and Rove sycophant, Henry Hager, to the flag. Implied rumor: Henry’s secretly gay! Just like half the GOP and all televangelists and John Travolta! The AP photogs will eat it up.
Note: Be sure to fold flag tightly for ideal trajectory, lest it unravel mid-flight and accidentally land on the head of the Saudi Arabian reporter, inducing horrified screams and spontaneous combustion. No one wants a scene.

Wow. So…..let’s see. Nanny nanny boo-boo. Bush’s son-in-law is gay. And Bush is a poopy head. Well said, sir.
There are a number of other things on the list, most of which are either completely lame attempts at insult or wit like birth control pills and hunks of disappearing glacial ice, but number 7 takes the cake:

7) Prosthetic limb
Imagine this perfect scene: You raise your right hand to ask Bush a question. Bush points at you, “Yes?” You calmly raise your left hand, reach over to your right and give a little tug and pop! Off comes your entire right arm from the socket! Before anyone can register what’s happening, said arm is winging through the air, straight at Bush’s head. Bonk! See? Not only have you conked him, you’ve slapped him as well. Now that’s poetry.
Terrific reminder of the tens of thousands of young U.S. soldiers who’ve been maimed, mutilated and permanently scarred in Bush’s lost, futile, disgusting war. Imagine the hilarious photos! It’s tragicomic, really.

I think we have a winner there, folks.
Keep it classy, Morford. Keep it classy.

    Yeah, that said about nuthin.

    You’re earning my avatar.

    My, how thin-skinned some people have become. And coming so soon after the scorched-earth tactics they used in the election against Obama.

    I won't even go into the tactics used against Clinton.

    But now the stems are delicate flowers with hurt feelings.

    Scourched earth tactics?

    McCain declared Reverand Wright off limits, and the media refused to report or investigate ANY negative facts about Obama. Your messiah got a free ride from the press, which left the opposition in the unenviable position of having to do the press's job and report the many ways that Obama's hard left past contridicts his "poct political" centrist rhetoric.

    Poor things. More vicitmhood whining from the party of Tom DeLay, Newt Gingrich, Dick Cheney, Ken Starr, Sarahcuda and a host of other blackmailers, character assassins and violence-provoking demagogues.

    Dino,

    If you're going to comment try making some sense. Being vicious, insulting, and ugly doesn't give you a point. It just makes you a squeaky wheel.

    Want to debate an issue? Then by all means do so. But your little act is getting tiresome.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/ likwidshoe

    Point out how mean the left is, and they proceed to project and squeal.

    Just look at this thread for the evidence.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/america_is_back/#c397018 DINO

    I fail to see how the topic warrants a serious discussion or how it addressed any serious issue.

    There was most definitely a point in my comments in that the right is known for its dismissive, ugly, mean-spirited tone so to now express shock and outrage when it is met with the same is ludicrous.

    There' absolutely no way you can compare the tactics taken in the last election by the two campaigns and come to any other conclusion than one that says the right is the side of negativity, bitterness and character assasination.

    In fact, you can further back and see those tactics employed almost exclusively by the right.

    Evidence just rolls in.

    Projection and squealing, the propagandist leftists' most often used tactics.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/ likwidshoe

    What a surprise. I get a dismissive, ugly and mean-spirited tone…

    Who was complaining about that? Oh, yeah.

    Double standards are being applied.

    You're defending this guy, Dina? Really?

    Yes, it is a serious issue when columnists in San Francisco get column-inches for garbage like this. It's expected in places like Daily Kot and Huffington Post, but it used to be anathema for papers.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/america_is_back/#c397018 DINO

    Again, such thin skin is amazing considering the bile conservatism has spewed for the last 20 years. As soon as reagan told you it was ok to hate again, you pulled out all the stops.

    I'm just a lowly person on a blog. My side's leadership isn't like yours- mean, nasty, bullying.

    Hopefully they will be though, wneh they take control in January. Would be a shame to pass up the chance to demonize conservatives now that we can hang them with the Depression rope.

    Yup.

    And coming so soon after the scorched-earth tactics they used in the election against Obama.
