Adam4tvs: i had
other shit to do
I seriously was
about to work on other shit. Goddamnit - will
ANYONE do their homework? Will anyone's
PRODUCER'S do their homework?!!? Will ANYONE CALL
the man out for lying on top of smearing? For fuck's
sake. I mean at least Abrams called him out on
being slimey - but what the hell already. In Abrams
defense (or maybe not?) he himself mixed up anthem and
pledge during the interview but Kingston just smiled
and acted coy the entire time. My reaction when Abrams
said: "While the pledge of allegiance was
played"
...of course
it's
a
re-enactment
but I was just as shocked the second time I heard
it as I was the first. I'm just flabbergasted that no
one is targeting this lie. But here's a strange detail
for you...
Kingston also
mentions the lapel pin. Same thing on Maher. During
the aftershow taping for hbo.com - Bill Maher brings
up a question from the internet that says: "Where's
your lapel pin?!?!" - and Kingston laughs and has a
prepared line... tonight? The exact same thing
happened. Kingston again doesn't wear it - the host
(who is looking into the friggin' camera lens, not at
a monitor) brings it up and Kingston says the prepared
line. !??! Not to start my own conspiracy theory but
it seems ridiculously coincidental and if it really
is... how stupid is Kingston? Just seems planned but
I can't fathom the motive at the
moment.
I also wrote a
letter to Bill Maher that Michelle is going to
personally deliver. Seems my last rant has now been
included in some "Anti-Maher" blogs and I just
had to stop that shit immediately. I think Maher's one
of the good guys - he just happened to not know the
story. The fact that all 5 people on that stage didn't
know? Shameful. I just wanted to make sure Bill
doesn't happen upon it and...but doesn't read the
entry. Which I'm sure is the case 9 times out of
10.
Ugh - so here we
go with another political entry. I swear I'm not
trying, but this has to be the most intense primary
season in... ever. I really mean ever. 3 quick
thoughts on last night's debate (forget who I thought
was better, my opinion ceases to matter once you guys
know I favor Obama):
1) Obama would've
voted for giving the president power in 2002. Yup, I
said it. He would've. He's lucky he wasn't in the
senate. If he wasn't able to stand up during the
Schiavo case as a freshman senator... no way he was
gonna go against something like that. Throw in the
fact that he's fighting the "patriotism" label and his
name strikes FEAR into the electorate, especially in
2002? Sheeeeeeeeit. He never would've voted against
what at the time was such a pro-America vote. And the
biggest variable? That power he says he would've voted
against? It's the exact same power that he says he'd
use against Pakistan or to go back into Iraq. He was
very clear that he reserves the right to use force if
need be. So all I can say is that he's damn lucky
he wasn't in the Senate - because that vote WAS
dependent on the inspections and Bush snookered 'em
all. I have no idea why Hillary doesn't fight
that point more. How poorly run has her campaign
been?
2) The bias
against Hillary is there...but she has no one but
herself to blame. She has a longer record, she has
more "scandals" and is a lot more "theatrical". She
demands the spotlight, and it oftentimes is negative
simply because of what she's doing. Her whole "Shame
on You" rant looked a little bitchy. And
I absolutely mean that the way it sounds. To go
from lovey and taking the high road to going apeshit
over a mailer that's been out for weeks in 48 hours?
Doesn't look very cool under pressure. She also has a
lot more flip-flops and issues because her experience
is longer than Obama's. Is the media not supposed to
cover it because Obama doesn't have an equal amount?
So again - yeah there's more negativity around Clinton
but it's not a victim thing. If you want to take
credit for 35 years of experience - shit is gonna come
up. You think the Keating 5 ain't comin' up with
McCain later?
3) Even when
Hillary wins, she loses. Which is why she won't be the
nomineee. That Farrakhan moment is absolutely
astounding. Barack was caught. Not that I think
he's an anti-semite, but he didn't wholeheartedly
seperate himself from Farrakhan's endorsement and
seemed to waffle. He denounced what Farrakhan said but
when Russert asked, "...but you don't outright reject
it?" he waffled a bit. She caught this and drove
a Mack Truck through it. Rightfully so. She used an
example from her 2000 campaign and made a great point.
And then in a move of such brilliance you'd expect
he's been in politics since the 50s, he takes the word
she uses and makes her look silly and petty
contrasting "reject" and "denounce". It was so
masterful I've watched the exchange 3 times and shake
my head each time. He's as unflappable as any
politician I've ever seen and I think he will destroy
McCain if he has the chance. Be safe
brotha.
Alright - now
I can get back to what I was working on.
Going to Vegas at the end of the week for a sorely
needed break from what's unfortunately been one of the
hardest weeks in recent memory. Sorry for the locked
entries, but sometimes you have to protect the ones
you love. No matter how many people tell you you
can't.

found, with the infamous Obama caption:
