I was thoroughly amused by the
posters popping up in LA depicting Obama as Heath Ledger's Joker character from the Dark Knight. Regardless of whether I concurred with the poster creator's accusation of evil and socialism, I just thought it was a cool piece of political commentary crossed with art. Then I saw on Drudge today that some LA official is calling it
"dangerous and mean spirited." Matt Drudge in his conservative glory then posted a link to a
Vanity Fair piece from this time last year where "W" is depicted as the SAME character. Good job Matt, it is now my firm belief that no matter who the president is, someone in the media should hate them, just for the sake of a counter argument
Comments on the Vanity Fair piece included:
- Great stuff from the talented Friedman (as always). As "agents of chaos" go, W's right up there with the best of 'em.
- Brilliant and profound.
- Poor Joker, he doesn't deserve this. Bush isn't good enough to wear his face
Interstingly, there are a few pages of new comments (probably people directed to the page by Drudge) making fairly asainine comments towards liberals and Obama. I'm so glad i don't toe a party line.
In fact, this year i've sunk into a sad rut of almost apathy. I've come to the firm belief that politicians are full of shit, and there isn't anyone of them that are worth a nickal. All the same, we must do the best with what we've got; my eternal optimism will keep me in the voting booths.
