Astroturfing Geithner

There’s something charming about the gleefully delusional.  Wide-eyed innocence can be a wonder to behold.  But, the current spectacle of masses of supposedly sophisticated Americans delightedly slapping metaphorical “kick me” signs on their own backs as they happy-dance the jester’s jig to their place in line for the ramp that rolls them to their assigned place under the speeding Obabus to Hell, is an event unwitnessed and unrivaled since Aaron smelted all the gold and made a calf.  Where’s the Hand of a vengeful God when you need it?

Now, the Wily Wizard of Words, David Asslefuck, and his favorite black man puppet, have both endeavored to stick their hands up the butts of the Merlins of the Main(and Minor)Stream Media and manipulate them into fertilizing their Astroturf (fake grassroots support) by spreading their “Geithner is Good” mantra to the maniacal minions.  To hide the fact that smearing Astroturf with a different brand of fertilizer to cover the stench of the original layer won’t make it grow, Asslefuck and Co. have patented the Massengill “Dewy Fresh” scented ObaGrow.

Timothy Geithner, a man who cannot do his own taxes, has been tapped by the largely inept-when-left-to-their-own-devices Obanauts, to be Secretary of the Treasury, a body that oversees the Internal Revenue Service.  He has also admitted to employing an illegal immigrant at the height of Lou Dobbs-esque “illegal aliens are killing the economy” mania.  His only offered excuse being incompetence; he didn’t know; it was an “honest mistake,” and he paid up once the transition team brought it to his attention.  From Politico:

Democratic and Republican senators say a full-court press by Barack Obama’s transition team is likely to keep ethical questions from sinking the nomination of Treasury Secretary-designee Timothy Geithner.

As Obama pressed senators on his economic recovery plan Tuesday, The Wall Street Journal reported that Geithner had failed to pay $42,000 in taxes and had employed a housekeeper whose work permit had expired.

But minutes after the news broke, the Obama transition team pushed back with talking points — distributed to Capitol Hill, K Street and congressional reporters — in which it portrayed the problems as simple mistakes or oversights.

No, the mistake was picking him as the guy to handle billions in bailouts and all the rest of America’s money to begin with.  Hard to argue that a guy who can’t proof the work of H&R Block should be in charge of anything tax related.  Never mind that similar charges have derailed other nominees, and they weren’t even in line for jobs handling the nation’s money.  And, as far as Asslefraud’s current fake-assed “The Oba-Mess-iah needs this guy” media push is concerned, America’s most successfully mass-marketed president and his public relations oriented staff are just up to their old tricks, on familiar territory, trying to “manage” perceptions about yet another nerve grating “Blagojevich, Warren, Richardson, FISA, Lieberman, Rezko, above his pay grade” fiasco of the “No Drama Obama” illusion factory.  Though the Magical Mystery PR Machine has a history of successfully “manging the media” and “massaging the message,” somebody should tell the poor man’s Jeff Dunham he needs a new act.

The Obamessiah’s bullshit ain’t nothin’ but chewed up Astroturf.

In other, non-related news of the delusional, Elizabeth, New Jersey funeral home owner and Obagroupie wannabe, Kim Nesbitt-Good, has a life-sized cardboard cut-out of the president-elect in the lobby of her establishment  that people clamor to take pictures with.

Obama’s biggest fan is having a ball. There is a life-size cardboard cutout of Barack Obama in the foyer of the Nesbitt Funeral Home in Elizabeth.

The president-elect looks out at Madison Street through double-glass doors. People stop, ring the funeral home bell and ask to take pictures with the cardboard Barack. So do mourners and friends and family of the deceased, either before or after they’ve paid their respects.

What is it with Obafolks and cardboard?  Lastly, the photo up top is the brand new official Obaportrait.  It’s the first digital presidential portrait ev-er.  I guess digital photographers don’t use make-up or PhotoShop, ‘cuz Obie needs a shave, a chin, and a haircut.  Old-fashioned airbrushing has it’s place.

*UPDATE:  FOX News, among others is reporting that Barack Obama has met with certain members of the press, off the record.  Look for positive stories about the Geithner appointment from these sources in the near future.

Notable guests at Will’s home included the National Review’s Rich Lowry, columnist Charles Krauthammer, The Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol, U.S. News & World Report’s Michael Barone, The Wall Street Journal’s Peggy Noonan and Paul Gigot, The New York Times’ David Brooks and columnist Larry Kudlow. Several of the guests are frequent FOX News guests and contributors.

An Obama transition aide said the president-elect plans to attend “similar gatherings” in the months ahead.

Indeed, Obama met with a group of liberal columnists and commentators Wednesday morning, Politico.com reported. They included The Washington Post’s E.J. Dionne, The New York Times’ Maureen Dowd and MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.
