Twittering Nerd Prom

Exposure of the media role in the Obama phenomenon is what the Left fears most because, at some level, they understand that if the press were ever to report honestly on what the Democrats are doing, the game would change. So the Obama cultists, accustomed to only fawning coverage of their Leader, react with fury when the fawning coverage is demonstrated to be dishonest.

Obama's high level of public support is largely a product of his positive image the media have crafted. "DijonGate" exposed how this image-making role is played. And therefore William Jacobson is denounced as a "wing-nut" pushing "right-wing talking points."

Of course, there are no "left-wing talking points," and if you dare suggest that Media Matters and Huffington Post are participating in an orchestrated propaganda effort -- perhaps organized by Astroturf king David Axelrod -- this only proves you are a "wing nut."

"Colbert has been on fire re: Biden. He has been pulling punches on Obama. Did you see the last one re: Biden?"

Probably since I almost never miss his show. I'm not remembering what you're referring to, though.

And Obama is a pretty difficult person to make fun of. He doesn't really have any personality quirks and he doesn't have a buffoon aspect about him the way that Clinton, Bush, and Biden have. (I'm not saying they are buffoons, but just that a buffoon portrayal works for them)

Wanda Sykes was, as always, very funny. Her take on the fat, drug-addled draft dodger Limbaugh [President of the Republicna party] was especially apt.

Here's the video of Wanda Sykes' speech for anyone who missed it:

My first post was to Paul Volpe.

Hey, Jake. Not sure if that's headed my way (I'm a Paulled). Obama's speech was fun, even if he has the Harvey Cormenesque (I'll take credit for inventing that) habit of losing it while he's delivering the joke.

Thank you, Thank you for "working" while you were supposed to be enjoying the dinner and rubbing elbows with famous and infamous. Enjoyed getting a glimpse of the party.

Funny, when I read the title of this blog entry, I didn't think you were sending tweets from the WHCD, I thought the joke was that it is a prom for twittering nerds. Present company NOT excepted.

Colbert

Fix, Is that the same Tammy Haddad who used to produce Jack Bogut's show on KDKA-AM decades ago?

I can't imagine anything with both a less clear direction and a greater potential for going very wrong. I'm in.

Paul:

Isn't the State of the Union address just a little bigger? Too bad Colbert wasn't invited this year to make fun of Acting President Biden.
