Each week I plan on awarding The Golden Glute to someone who has been a true ass. The day of the week will most likely vary at first due to my work schedule. If this award goes over well, I will continue it. It will start with the winner’s name and what that person did to deserve the honor. Then there will most likely be a satirical piece devoted to the winner for that week.
The first Golden Glute goes to Larry Elder. My personal opinion is that Larry Elder is a sociopath given that he lies with such ease about such important issues. If a person is ill informed or not thinking through the arguments, his diatribes could seem true. One of his favorite tactics is to quote studies and statistics out of context, as he does when he says the 9/11 Commission Report confirms Bush didn’t lie about WMD’s in Iraq. Today, for the second day in a row, Elder tied President-Elect Obama to Governor Blagojevich and Chicago corruption. He does this knowing full well that Barack Obama has zero connection to any improper or illegal actions committed by Blagojevich. So to you Larry Elder, congatulations on being this weeks most astounding ass.
Larry Elder Haunted By Gandhi’s Ghost At Debate With Stephanie Miller
Los Angeles – At a debate between the liberal and hilarious talk show host, Stephanie Miller, and the ultra-right wing Larry Elder, sponsored by UCLA, a few unexpected events happened. Stephanie Miller had just pointed out that Larry Elder had lied again about the Iraq War and WMD’s. Using his standard line about how The 9/11 Commission had proved Bush didn’t lie about the weapons, Ms. Miller pointed out the 9/11 Report was about - 9/11.
“Look, your listeners will believe anything – for Christ’s sake, you’ve got them believing Bush is brilliant – but, we’re not your listeners,” said Ms Miller to a round of applause.
“Well, he saved us from an attack for seven years,” Larry stammered. “What have you got to say to that? Huh?”
“Well then, by your logic, so did Polk, Buchanan and Pierce and Johnson,” Stephanie said. “Plus if you’re going to take credit, then you also have to accept blame. Didn’t hear much of that from your fearless leader, or you.”
But the fireworks were saved for the portion of the debate concerning the economy. “The invisible hand of the market - the invisible hand of the market,” Elder yelled. “Minimum wage hurts the economy! Taxing the rich is immoral”
“Okay, that’s it!” yelled a man dressed in eighteenth century garments, strolling up to the front. “Enough! I’m Adam Smith and I’ve had enough of you and people like you using my name to steal from the poor. You scallywag – a pox on you and your ilk! My philosophy is not interchangeable with Machiavelli’s.”
“And you know, Mr. Elder,” said an apparition dressed in a humble robe. “I’m Mohandas Gandhi and in life it was almost impossible to get me to lose my temper, or do anything undignified - but I never met you. Not only are you responsible for so much of the mess created - the war, the economy, people without insurance – but you are now blaming those who tried to stop this from happening. You sir, are a dick!”
“Yes, yes he is,” said Will Rogers from the back row.
At that, Larry Elder was silent in public for the first time.
(The satire is a repost from something I wrote in October.)
