Republicans can't parody
By Libby
Pete Abel got a parody video from the RNC that is so bad it should have been funny, but it wasn't. It was just pitifully lame.
Slightly more amusing is the latest burst of innuendo out of wingerville. Apparently they've concluded that Obama drew such a huge crowd in Berlin by somehow bribing 200,000 people with food and booze. And yet, they call Obama's base crazy for believing in hope? The ulimate response to that leap of logic goes to a commenter at Cole's place.
I heard he fed the entire crowd with five bratwursts and two Heinekens.
Now that's funny.




























Love it! That IS funny!
I had a great time reading a piece from Der Speigel, Why Germany Has No Obama. Looks like lots of Germans have a crush on Obama.
All it takes to recognize that difference is to compare their language. Obama's speech in downtown Berlin was a festival of big metaphors. When German Chancellor Angela Merkel gives a keynote speech, her words are usually about as alluring as a ring binder. Her speeches are about mundane topics like commuter tax relief and pensions, and if she uses metaphors at all, they are more than likely references to holes that require plugging.

No matter how you feel about Obama, there's no denying that he's got charisma.
