See, now this is the sort of thing that’s just going to make Mister Liberty Girl start all that stomping and cursing again.  

Both Abraham Lincoln and President-elect Barack Obama were not from Illinois but became two of the state’s top politicians.

They were both criticized for being too inexperienced to become president of the United States.

Both were raised by women other than their mothers (Lincoln by his stepmother and Obama by his grandmother) and later visited the women before their respective inaugurations. Both women died before the respective inauguration days.

You just. don’t. go. comparing Mister Liberty Girl’s Very Favorite President with a socialist buffoon who hoodwinked an already mentally-challenged populace into electing him.  Especially on such pathetically tenuous “connections,” and most particularly before the pretentious, elitist bastard HAS EVEN TAKEN OFFICE.

But that’s what you media halfwits have done from the beginning, used your dubious influence to ensure the guy who would sell the most papers won the Big Prize.  And now that you have your stalking horse almost in place it seems it’s a real struggle to come up with the required number of lines, hence these sorts of mind-boggling puff pieces.  I’d love to say that I really look forward to your collective comeuppance, but since this entire charade is all about the advertising dollars to come, you never really will get what you deserve. 

Well, at least until your industry collapses in ruins.  Ta!

Update:  Ahh, the eloquent Ted from The Line is Here most effectively channels Mister Liberty Girl.  Yes, I keep linking to them…they’re brilliant and I want to grow up to be them someday.

We all have our Lists.  For instance, I have a I Will Pop You In The Face Eventually List.  The bowling-ball headed, courageous-only-when-drunk husband of our next-door neighbor is right there at the top most days.  Other days it is whatever cell-phone-wielding cow is weaving all over the road in front of me in an impossible-to-see-around minivan.  I’m sure Dogette has at least ONE list, which surely has the Pole People atop it.  Joan HAS to have a list, populated no doubt by RINOs, Republicans and other Utter Failures.

Today I find myself in need of a new List, and I shall call it The Disgraceful Hypocrite List.  Ms. Julianne Malveaux, a “writer” with the Philly Trib, has the honor of the second spot on the DH list, the first belonging to the shouldn’t-be-allowed-to-speak-in-public Michelle Obama, for her proclamation early on in the election that she was only just then proud to be an American. 

Translation: your country sucks until it does something for you.  

Ms. Malveaux further recieves the Derivative Asshole Asterisk affixed next to her List entry for being a big stupid copycat of the aforementioned first place holder’s previously published idiocy.  Not only is she derivative, folks…she’s SLOW. 

Let’s all give our new List honorees a big round of applause.
