How about sujesting bush has Downs Syndrome.... or people suggesting Sarah Palin pretended to be pregnant. Seriously? There are democrats just as bad. |
Anyone who still perpetuates the Palin pregnancy myth is definitely going out on a limb, I agree. I mean it was plausible until there was solid evidence, but the evidence surfaced really quickly, afterwards the story was just bunk.
I actually haven't heard about people saying Bush has Down's...but I have heard the monkey argument a lot of times. Generally, I think the monkey comment is more offensive when it is directed at a black person, since it is done so much more frequently and so much more pejoratively. Its still pretty demeaning when directed at Bush, but I don't think it is as demeaning as some of the comments these people are making about Obama.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
