More literary detective work — though by now, Cashill just seems pissed that he even has to make the case, the evidence seems to him so overwhelming. Cashill:
Prior to Dreams, and for the nine years following, everything Obama wrote was, like the above sentence, an uninspired assemblage of words with a nearly random application of commas and tenses.
Yikes.
Glad Cashill, along with others, aren’t going through my archives looking for subject/verb agreement problems.

(See what I did there?)
By the way, Blake, I tried to reply to your email but I got an error message.
Cashill skewered him.
“Hitchens, REEE GURGLE.”*
“looking for subject/verb agreement problems.”
dude you’re doomed/sarc off
Heh. Cashill isn’t going through your archives.
Speaking of which, could you do me a favor and delete all my previous comments here so that I can make a few snarky comments on this thread? Thanks.
“a nearly random application of commas and tenses.”
sounds like an economic policy!
If I has only known that my inability with commas would had been my ticket onto a Ivy League law school,
Meh. I can haz pellchek?
I even misspelled my deliberate misspelling.

Speaking of random, Obama used to be a terrorist(democrat definition), but now he’s merely unpatriotic(his definition). (h/t IMAO)

there has to be some proof somewhere that Obama is teh smart
We have proof of Perry’s grades before he even announced. Maybe that will be the impetus to get the MFM interested in Teh One’s grades at Occidental and Harvard.

Jeff, you got an error message when trying to reply?
Maybe your Outlaw!! status has finally caught up with my email service.
Use my hotmail address if need be.
Anyway, bh, no way you get first crack at comment deletion. I may not be as prolific in my commentary but I’m quite sure that I lead the pack when it comes to lack of proper grammar, lousy punctuation and meandering sentences that only make sense before posting.
Clinton had his bible which got larger as his problems did, Obama has his … more secular version.
I would therefore agree with the suggestion that in the future, our concern in this area is most appropriately directed at any employer who would even insinuate that someone with Mr. Chen’s extraordinary record of academic success might be somehow unqualified for work in a corporate law firm, or that such success might be somehow undeserved.
what is this sentence even
Doesn’t it say something along the lines of “Don’t look or think, just make me president!”?

someone should find out if “National Socialis Movement” has any ties to the “Bailout the People Movement”.

“Prior to Dreams, and for the nine years following, everything Obama wrote was, like the above sentence, an uninspired assemblage of words with a nearly random application of commas and tenses.”
Probably a result of a poor translation from the original Indonesian…
Like the fight between the Red Socialism of Stalin and the Black Socialism of Hitler with these groups it is not an argument over what is to be done but over who gets to do the doing and who it is to be done to.
“National Socialis Movement” are proggs doing “helpful” work for the “party”. i’m sure a little digging would show that. who has time to waste on such stupidity but the committed idiots? and if you are that deep into the cult playing mind games is really different and fun.
OT:
Justice Clarence Goldstein?
RTWT.
Public opinion, no matter how it’s manipulated by so called journalists, cannot increase or decrease the intellectual horsepower of any person.
This always hearkens me to the Massachusetts elites and their view of Midwesterners, of which I am one.
What requires more wits? – to be a passenger on a boat dropped off at Plymouth rock and produce a progeny that takes not one step further inland? Or does it take more intellectual curiosity to walk out into the uncharted wilderness alone and defend oneself against unknown and unseen peril, both animal and human, and thrive?
I guess what I’m getting at, with apologies to the good and faithful Northeasterners on this site, is that my ancestors are 10 times smarter than Kerry’s or Kennedy’s. And I’ve got the commas to prove it.
I was going to say that O is the Donovan McNabb of writing, oratory, and politics; we keep hearing how masterful he is at those things because the ones saying it REALLY REALLY want him to be masterful at those things.
But McNabb, if not great, is at least middling competent.
Michelle had to have been as anxious at Harvard Law as Bart Simpson was at Genius School.
No comment … I just want to read that sentence again and laugh out loud.
Pretty obvious the real reason they haven’t released any of his college or law school grades is because he’s the poster boy for affirmative action. If it turned out he got all C’s and yet somehow still miraculously became editor of the law review (law review is generally reserved for the top 5% in each law class), its going to scream affirmative action.
God forbid we open that can of worms.
Jeff’s verbs is always tense.
I think it would scream popularity contest more than affirmative action. That is the environment where he really thrives. He has never had tomshow competency, or results, prior to now.
“there has to be some proof somewhere that Obama is teh smart”
There sure is. They asked him if he would run for President and his wife said yes.
OT, one of the supermarket rags is saying that his vacation was actually an enforced dry out period, as the One has been drinking a bit too much. I’ll see if I can find a link.
Actually shocked the shit out of me when I saw it.
My Father in Law just saw it at the Circle K. It’s the Globe. The FIL is giddy, as he’s about as staunchy as you can get, not to mention it looks like Doris Day is putting out a new album. I’d rather it be Dennis Day, but he’s dead.
My own opinion is that if Obie was boozing, we’d be better off.
Jeff’s verbs is always tense.
I get tense just thinking about verb agreement.
You can trust the Enquirer, LMC, but I’m not so sure about the Globe.
“bama doesn’t strike me as a drinker. Although his “morning” briefings do occur around 10:30, which strikes me as a tad late.
There has been a suspicious lack of photos of his toned abs of late, though. Could be the drinking. Could be the smoking. Could be the dearth of SS-approved pickup games in DC.
Ahha! Maybe he’s out of adderall?
Birds of a feather and “near-superhuman rigor.” Obama and Krueger that is.
Damnit, I knew I’d seen that name before. Tough luck America, you picked a loser.
Codevilla reviews Obama books.
New post up about this, Yackums.
I forget who wrote it, but the gist of the argument was that if Obama was very intelligent and a great scholar The New York Times would have his transcript on page one. Since they haven’t done that, then he isn’t very intelligent or a great scholar.
What’s important is that his intent when he wrote his gibberish was to be brilliant. And so he is!
Looks ok to me.
Cashill has a book that I’m gonna guess is as important as this one. On order.
