“Chesty McCheesecake*” [Darleen Click]

*The Anchoress

The press corp mostly sneered at Bush’s commitment to exercise. They sneered at Condi Rice’s exercise regimen, as well; she was the over-achiever subsuming her emotions to the treadmill, or whatever. But Sen. Obama? They’re turning him into “Chesty McCheesecake*”, (and he seems a willing exhibitionist) probably because they haven’t got a clue who he really is or what he’s really about. And perhaps Obama likes it that way; he seems to be smart enough to know that if he gives them his chest, he needn’t bother giving them his thoughts.

All the press can do is hope and prey.

    No, no they didn’t. I can’t remember a single incident where her exercise regiment was a topic of derision.

    Looks like the greatest problem with being a dopey redumblican harpy is the consuming need to exaggerate.

    They held that against her, the fact that she was a polymath in Russian and Czech, that she was a piano virtuouso. That she wasn’t married, which occasioned
    at least two diametrically opposite set of rumors. Her Ph’d, provost of Stanford U, former NSC member in the previous Bush administration. the real protege of Josef
    Korbel; and she got plenty of grief in part because she looked good and was a black conservative. Don’t start with August 6, PDB that thing wasn’t good enough for a planning document, it was a poor copy of the December 1998 one.

    Um, thor…

    Public figures usually don’t go public when they work on their figures, though when they do, it can help humanize their images. President Bush is sometimes photographed trying to stay fit on his bike, and President Clinton took some high-profile jogs.

    But secretaries of state, a job most people associate with the stiff, inscrutable language of diplomacy? Three days on TV in the gym?

    It’s hard to picture her predecessors Colin Powell or Madeleine Albright doing the same. How about Warren Christopher? Alexander Haig? Not likely.

    Samantha von Sperling, a New York-based image consultant whose customers include politicians, was skeptical. She admires Rice, but finds this all to be a bit “Oprah-esque.”

    “It just strikes me as, what’s the point?” she said. “Why do I need to see her in Spandex? It has nothing to do with the quality of her mind. And if she were a man, they wouldn’t have asked her to do the story.”

    Or, how’s about this one?

    As she described it to Bumiller, she went upstairs at 5 a.m. the morning after the Palestinian elections in 2006 to the gym in her Watergate apartment to exercise on her elliptical machine. She saw the news crawl reporting the Hamas victory.

    “I thought, ‘Well, that’s not right,’ ” she said. She kept exercising for awhile but finally got off the elliptical trainer and called the State Department. “I said, ‘What happened in the Palestinian elections?’ and they said, ‘Oh, Hamas won.’ And I thought, ‘Oh, my goodness! Hamas won?’ ”

    When she couldn’t reach the State Department official on the ground in the Palestinian territories, she did what any loyal Bushie would do: She got back on the elliptical.

    That’s from Stupid-Pan Dowdy, by the way.

    Bush’s workout regimen = Obsessive! and Creepy!

    Obama’s workout regimen = Disciplined! and Admirable!

    Boy oh boy, Chrissy Tingle’s leg must have been hummin’ like a cheap hotel massage bed when he got a load of those pix; “He’s so FAB-O!…

    And B-Ball, O! is veritable NBA material, the paragon of manhood disqualified himself from corporate law and athletic glory, trading his divinity to share in our mundane humanity; he humbled himself for our good, don’t-cha-know…

    Capital! Now we have pictures to illustrate the story of O!…

    Because what’s a good cult of personality, without some good publicity shots to give out to the plebs!

    As was said about another certain politician, whose name shall go unmentioned, in central Europe who enjoyed a meteoric rise in the 1930’s…

    “His very image showed the people his passion for them was, and his soaring rhetoric caused them to stop thinking critically about exactly what he was saying…”

    S’funny how history can repeat itself…

    I’m also tired of that hodad Obama trying to act so cool; flashin’ the Hawaiian hand signals…

  23. Comment by Bob Reed on 12/30 @ 12:43 am #

    parsnip,
    I’m not sure where you’re getting the whole inadequate vibe from. Let me make this clear without seeming cocky…

    While I always try to be humble and self-effacing, I consider few men my superior; especially in terms of physicality and physique. At 6′3″, and around 300 lbs, I don’t think he’d want any of this…

    With all due respect to our coming exerciser-in-chief, I could best him physically on any given day. I believe that my military training, augmented by continued martial arts training, combined with my physical stature, would be more than enough for me to carry any match; barring any Jedi mind trick, or if he had a gun or something…

    And, he may be able to quote Neibuhr, or Alinsky, or a variety of Poly-sci or liberal arts figures that I have only cursory knowledge of; but I defy him to actually make anything. And I’d be happy to hold a math/science contest with him any time. Partial differential equations sir, at 50 paces!

    No, not too hairy, owing to my Cherokee ancestry…And knuckle scraping? Occasionally yes!

    But really thor, are you comparing me to Lennie Small? And if so, who is my George Milton?

    You know, you really have me at a disadvantage with your MFA and all of the literary references. If the topic were amenable, I’d lay some more esoteric elements of aerodynamics or rocket propulsion on you; but it’s hard to sound witty, or indeed like anything but Urkel, when discussing that kind of stuff…

    Yeah, hit ya where it hurts – the pseudo-victimhood. “But the media! The media is unfair!”. What a croc, BS, wussy complaining bunch of BS.

    There are groups that have faced opression – no doubt. You guys just aren’t one of them, and never were. Nothing more sickening than listening to white Christians (and you can never underestimate the religion angle) whine about being the odd-man out in US society, especially when you look at ANY demographic information of ANY kind.

    But aside from the puke-induction procedures, even your boy there on the graphic above, Chris MAtthews, proves my point perfectly. When the war was popular, Bush was a man of greatness, and the landing on the aircraft carrier was the greatest things that’s ever happened, on and on. Once the war wasn’t, the comdemnation came and Obama was God.

    The press does a terrible job, and certain operations are clearly biased. But this giant target you’ve put on your backs is whiny nonsense, and nothing less.

    Hopefully y’all can find some milk and cookies….

    “Wait, its hateful to believe a celebrity deliberately posed for cameras? Huh?”

    When there is zero evidence of this, yes. It reeks of jealousy. So does this :

    “And B-Ball, O! is veritable NBA material, the paragon of manhood disqualified himself from corporate law and athletic glory, trading his divinity to share in our mundane humanity;”

    But especially this :
    I’m also tired of that hodad Obama trying to act so cool; flashin’ the Hawaiian hand signals…”

    Yeah! Stop actin’ so COOL! Cause you’re totally NOT!

    To echo JJ – the jealousy comes from deep feelings of inadequacy. This also drives their insatiable hatred of the PC movement. It doesn’t lie in principle. If it did, wouldn’t they hate the corporations that drive workplace equality and diversity? No, it’s based on their hatred of strawmen. “Those DFH’s won’t tell ME I can’t say nigger!”

    It’s interesting that the fake “assclown” post above, though attempting to mock my posting style, STILL provoked the same deeply stupid responses. Beautiful.

    Something else – the thought of Obama purposefully posing shirtless for the media is pathologic haterism. It beats the pathetic posing by Boob Red above. 6′3″ 300lbs of man, baby, yeah!

    Did any of you guys know before the election that Obama liked to Golf? See, because I didn’t, all I ever saw him do was play pick-up basketball games, and being an uptight white man who is basically scared to death of Negroes, it made me a little nervous, him playing basketball like a common street thug. But now after the election, all of a sudden I have seen pictures of him twice now playing golf! Which would have put me a little more at ease, knowing he might also be comfortable down and the country club with Biff and Muffy and all of us.

    I mean, I probably wouldn’t have voted for him if I had known, but I certainly wouldn’t have scrawled FUCK THAT MULATTO BASTARD!!!! over his name on the ballot like that. If I had known he was a golfer before hand, I mean

    No. See that is why you see the rancor and bitterness that is threatening to destroy the country, the more power the government has, the more crucial it is that your faction be in control of that power. That is the danger the Founding Fathers saw and drew up the Constitution to try to prevent, and it is not a done deal that they be forgotten.

    Unless you like looking the fool, I would suggest you scan the archives here and you will see many of Bush’s policies weren’t real popular. But just as you suggest it would be idiotic to deny any of this was Bush’s fault, it is also ridiculous to try to heap all the blame on him. Congress had a huge part in things, as did the prior Clinton administration.

    As for the failed wars, who won and by what metric?

    “When there is zero evidence of this, yes. It reeks of jealousy.”

    Um, I’m late to this, but even ABC was asking how some paparazzi got a clear, posed shot of Obama without his shirt on when you can’t get within 100 yards of the president without being tackled. It’s one thing to get a picture of some blurry, grainy shot taken from half a mile away on a boat, but this is too close, too clean, and too obviously posed. And why not? He’s got a better bod than I do, why wouldn’t he want the world to see how healthy he is, particularly with the sycophantic, worshipful attitude of many people about him. He’s a celebrity, he feeds on the attention.

    The idea that he DIDN’T pose and have the picture done intentionally is absurd and pointless. Arguing like you are smacks of desperation and the need to oppose and disagree with anything anyone on the right says for fear you might start believing it. You remind me of Hamlet’s mom.

    Let’s face it: the media LOVED Bush and had it’s face in his ass until he lost popularity.

    Er, they didn’t. They criticized him for the flight suit. They said it was a stunt, they attacked him. What color is the sky in your world? Candy yellow with rainbows and little Obama faces in the clouds? Just how young are you to be this clueless about the last eight years? President Bush from before he was elected had a hostile media that got even more hostile in 2004 when they were given directives from the Democratic Party to start attacking and stop reporting.

    They gladly followed suit.
