thomas sowell, working on deadline
why is it most people in the world can’t figure out when tired blastcaps have simply entered the column-churn mill, never to return?
“oh, it’s 3 o’clock. i need to fart out a column, honey. i’ll be right back.”
then you get… this:
Apparently there is nobody among either the Democrats or the Republicans who is going to cause a runaway stampede like that which toppled all the Republican front-runners in 1940, when the convention delegates began loudly chanting “We want Wilkie!”It is a struggle to keep awake during most of the so-called “debates” among the small army of candidates in both parties. At least the primaries will put an end to those awful spectacles.
It is much too early to try to guess who is going to win either party’s nomination. The most we can have at this point are some general impressions.
None of the candidates looks truly inspiring at this point. I wouldn’t buy a used car from most of them, nor a brand new car from some of them.
bear in mind he got paid for this column. that’s the level, and he doesn’t deviate. thus i’ll just throw out a few examples through the end of his latest masterwork (pretend there are ellipses between unconnected blocks):
Fred Thompson seems to have the best policy positions and the best political track record among the Republican candidates — and the least effective presentation of himself.
oh yes. well said.
The only candidate of either party who truly looks presidential is Mitt Romney.
important point. too bad sowell can’t raise such lofty, serious issues at “those awful spectacles”. that’d be magic debate medicine in a never-ending dropper, that would.
When it comes to articulation, no one can beat Barack Obama.
well sure, but are we talking about oreo atrocious phony FM DJ obama or o’ schoo’ atrocious phony street niggah obama here? two different guys, just like oprah (girls). oh, i love it when “articulate” black folks turn on the street niggah. yet hillary clinton can’t get away with it. odd.
John McCain seems to be having a little resurgence but it is hard to believe that Republicans are so desperate as to support a man who joined with far left Democrat Russ Feingold to restrict free speech in the name of “campaign finance reform” and with Ted Kennedy to sponsor a bill giving amnesty to illegal immigrants.
gosh, i wish i could dredge up such scintillating analysis. it’s like god sprinkled mr. sowell’s keyboard with “this is pundit gold” dust. i mean, no way could you hear this sort of analysis by riding the DC metro and eavesdropping, or visiting any public bank of urinals.
[H. Clinton] might even be shameless enough to put [B. Clinton] on the Supreme Court, where he could ruin the law of the land, as many of his own judicial appointees are already doing in the federal courts.
egads! a shitty supreme court justice. hey lookkeee dey. WTF — has this guy checked back onto the planet in the last 30 years? seriously, who at this point gives a flying handshake if the Supreme Court (not a single capitalized “supreme” in the constitution, BTW) says we all have to drink bong water? are we not men? well, no, but maybe you get my point anyway.
This nation has come back from unpromising times before. Let’s hope that we have not already used up all our luck.
here’s a plan: inflate the money supply. that’ll work. always does. i mean, if you can regularly shit out dreck like the above and get paid for it, TS, the rest is no TS.
