me: “So, any thoughts on Howard Dean’s remarks last Friday to the Congressional Black Caucus?”*
hood:
me: “If you hadn’’t heard, the snub-necked doctor joked that Blacks tend to be employed as bellboys and cooks and hotel maids…”*
hood:
me: “…in a hamfisted attempt to suggest that Republicans are racist.”*
hood:
me: “Didn’t recognize the irony, I suppose.”*
hood:
me: “Speaking of which, Charles Rangel says Dean should apologize…”*
hood:
me: “This despite Congressman Rangel’s seeming agreement with Dean that it’s okay to take shots at rednecks.”
hood:
me: “But then, these are a couple of Democrats we’re talking about, so I suppose I shouldn’t be too surprised by a bit of inconsistency…”
hood:
me: “…and it’s not like rednecks are really people anyway.”
hood:
me: “Subhumans, those rednecks are.”
hood:
me: “Can’t even ski.”
hood:
me: “Or pick out a spicy Syrah.”
hood:
me: “Cousin fuckers, the lot of ‘em…”
hood:
me: “But I digress…”
hood:
me: “Anyway, so what do you think? Is Dean a passive racist?”*
hood:
me: “Or just, y’know, a tin-eared faux-populist…”*
hood:
me: “…another in a long line of limousine liberals whose judgment has been blunted by a lifetime of rubbing up against likeminded rich ‘progressives’ who presume to speak for groups of disadvantaged people whom they barely know, and whom they secretly despise…?”*
hood:
me: “To convince themselves of their own righteousness…”
hood:
me: “…while trying to assuage the guilt they feel about being so well-off economically and socially, I mean.”
hood:
me:
hood:
me: “Or maybe he’s just an idiot.”
hood: “DING DING DING DING DING! Give that Jewboy a ceeee-gar!
Now THAT was an exciting conclusion! I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the hood to finally respond.
With all due respect to the hood, I believe the correct local pronunciation is Geeeeeeoooooooo. Then again, I’m more of an elitist than a racist, so who knows?
Not just a Jew: an uppity Jew.
Whatever it is you’re on, send me some. I haven’t laughed like that since… well, since your last entry, I suppose.
Turing word: real
Thanks, Drum.
But I fear the Kleagle hood is losing his will to make a difference.
Jeff: You do know how to build to a powerful climax!
(So to speak.)
So among all your other accomplishments, you belong to Kinky Friedman’s band? Wait, no, you’re in Colorado, not Texas.
Have mercy that was funny.
All I ever get called is Jesus Freak, and it’s not really as funny.
This post reminded me…I had something on my “to do” list after all the mid-month bills cleared….
PW – the blogosphere’s premier source of lucid insanity.
I don’t know about that Kleagle hood anymore. Can anything be more true than this?
Perhaps the hood is suggesting that all such people are idiots…can’t argue with that.
