Political Imagery

She may call herself a barracuda but she doesn't speak for Heart


Exclusive: Heart's Nancy Wilson responds to McCain campaign's use of 'Barracuda' at Republican convention | Current Affairs, Music, Music Biz | Hollywood Insider | EW.com:

"'Sarah Palin's views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women. We ask that our song 'Barracuda' no longer be used to promote her image. The song 'Barracuda' was written in the late 70s as a scathing rant against the soulless, corporate nature of the music business, particularly for women. (The 'barracuda' represented the business.) While Heart did not and would not authorize the use of their song at the RNC, there's irony in Republican strategists' choice to make use of it there.'"

Ed Morrissey is an idiot

Ed Morrissey of Captain's Quarters is one of the republicans I have been monitoring for a while since he seems to echo the fear of many republicans : That McCain against Obama would be toast and that nothing would be better for uniting the Republican party against one common enemy than to have Hillary Clinton win the nomination.

So what does the big pussy do? He goes out of his way to create a non-story out of this image :

.

Doesn't matter that the fucking office is not a headquarter for the Obama campaign. All it takes is a volunteer to be there for the wingnuts to go crazy.

At least Robert Farley over at Lawyers, Guns and Money puts their idiocy into perspective.

All am waiting is for the sHillarybots to smell the batshit and join in the attacks.

Someone pass the popcorn.

QUOTES

Karl Rove never met a man or a constituent group he didn’t seek to exploit for political gain…and as best I can tell, his scorched earth approach rarely, if ever, left him wondering about the welfare of the many innocent individuals that may have been consumed in the carnage he created with calloused and cunning calculations.

Mr. Wehner makes the mistake of many who live with the promise of privilege…those who have neither built the trough at which they feed nor done the hard work to harvest the feast that fills it…they stand shoulder to shoulder with other gluttonous and greedy purveyors of pain…sopping up the spoils while pushing the powerless under the proverbial bus. Pardon my disgust, but fine men aren’t made by driving on and over others.

While Karl Rove and his cronies see themselves as king makers, they climbed the pole of power on the backs of those they sought to sacrifice. His legacy of unleashing hatred upon homosexuals in order to herd the holier than thou hoards into the ballot box may be his hallmark…but calling him an honorable human being is simply another symbol of the corrupted Christian cacophony he sought to coerce.
