Gerard Baker on the Cult of Personality

[toetoe]

Gerard Baker, writing in the (London ?) Times, 25 July 2008, does a hilarious sendup of the Obama Nation Circle Jerk World Tour. It's available at Times Online, and also where I found it linked, a site called Grow-A-Brain. God, it's funny stuff. :ThmbUp:

Sincerely,

Link-challenged TT

Who had that line about organ donation?

What if it turns out you need that stuff when you get 'upstairs'. You're gonna feel awfully sheepish after you gave your eyes away and you find yourself bumping into Cherubim and Seraphim and the gang.

I'd be willing to donate, posthumously, ahem ... St. Peter.

Ad interim, consider this. What if And's'n Coopah lived in the antebellum South. He'd have no way to avoid saying, " I declay-ah."

Anderson Cooper. The newsreading mediocrity you trust. The sexual ambiguity you can dig. The cranial vacuum you seek. AND he's NOT Charlie Gibson. And remember, if Anderson does a 180, he'll still be AC 360.
