It's to Laugh
Boston Globe Columnist Howie Carr recently weighed in on the ongoing Democratic Primary tug of war. With a deft hand he manges to frame a number of the yin and yang elements into a sort of wry perspective. And on the current roller coaster, I believe this piece can be a great stress reliever. Come on, enjoy a smile, a snicker, a giggle, a grin. Hell, go ahead and let out a hearty Hillary laugh!
It really is a civil war in the Democratic party now. The party is rent between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, between hacks and moonbats, between those who work with their hands and those who don’t work, period.
The battle, as The Economist magazine put it, pits Barack’s wine-sippers against Hillary’s beer-guzzlers. Oddly, they’re all liberals, but there are so many stark contrasts between the two wings of the party that they’re tearing each other asunder.
Barack’s voters are New Age. Hillary’s voters . . . old age.
At their respective rallies, Hillary’s voters shout, while Barack’s swoon.
Hillary voters get their coffee at Dunkin’ Donuts. Barack’s are strictly Starbucks.
If Hillary wins, her supporters are hoping for a job. Barack’s will be looking for a grant.
Clinton voters know who caused 9/11 - Arab terrorists. Obama voters know who caused 9/11 - Halliburton.
Hillary’s supporters are more or less for gay rights. Obama’s insist on transgendered rights.
Obama aides call Hillary a “monster.” Hillary aides call Obama “Ken Starr” - their definition of a monster.
Hillary’s hens drive SUVs. Obama’s peeps drive Priuses (with bicycle racks on the roof).
A lot of Hillary’s voters rely on oxygen. Barack’s rely on Oxys.
If they’re out and about in the woods in the winter, Clinton voters are riding snowmobiles. Obama’s are cross-country skiing.
Hillary at least has a few backers who like to fish. If Obama has any anglers, they’re fly fishermen, and they believe totally in “catch and release” . . . in other words, they have the same philosophy about fish that they have about violent criminals.
Eating fish? Hillary’s crew goes to Red Lobster. Barack’s people prefer sushi.
Hillary’s people are out on workers comp. Barack’s people are out on trust funds.
“It is a battle over culture,” The Economist said. “Mrs. Clinton’s supporters look at Mr. Obama’s and see latte-drinking elitists. Mr. Obama’s supporters look at Mrs. Clinton’s and smell all sorts of ancestral sins, not least racism. The two groups neither like nor respect each other.”
