Oh, You Mean He Used His Real Name on This Book?

The Booman and I have something in common: an urge to kick Joe Klein’s ass.
It’s easy to be bored by bread and butter issues when you make six figures, have health care, and send your kids to private schools and universities. Dismissing those issues as ‘mommy issues’ from a defunct ‘mommy party’ and then calling centrism ‘courageous’ and ‘radical’ is just obnoxious. If these assholes ever stopped to consider the real-world ramifications of their centrist consensus that it is morally acceptable to leave 45 million people without access to preventative care, they might just realize their dismissiveness goes beyond obnoxiousness and trends toward pure evil.
But, they won’t think about that until something happens to someone they know and love and it touches their calloused-over hearts. In the meantime, they will go on manufacturing consensus and touting the courage of centrists like Joe Lieberman and John McCain…men, both of whom, are to the right of Barry Goldwater and approaching Attila the Hun.
Joe Klein deserves a knuckle sandwich for writing a book called How American Democracy Was Trivialized by People Who Think You’re Stupid. No one is more responsible for trivializing politics and the seriousness of bland centrism on poor American lives, than Joe Klein. Klein thinks we’re stupid….stupid enough to stay asleep while he and Fineman and Matthews and the rest of them sing us a lullaby about Republican manliness and the ‘vegetarian’ concept of a national health care system.
Well dang me. Yer folks finally, finally figured out that all these “pundits” are millionaires and ass such don’t want fair taxation, don’t want health-care fer po’ folks, don’t want to do anything but live like the greedy pigs they are. Wallowing in the money theCorporate Slave State showers on them to lie to you and me.
Welcome to our nightmare.
