Rough beasts, their hour come round at last
Surely the Second Coming is at hand:
You know Obamania has reached a new level when even John Podesta is a rock star.
Some of the best reporters in the business lined up for more than an hour on 6th Street NW this afternoon for a chance to hear Podesta, the Obama transition chief, give an operational update. When the transition team announced the press briefing last night, it promptly received 207 RSVPs — far more than the 84 chairs that could fit into the conference room in the government offices serving as transition headquarters.
Hatchet-faced Soros stooge and Clinton-era weasel Podesta, a “rock star?” Only to Obamedia butt-sucks lining up to bask in shabbily contrived glory, to sup at the crotch of their Lord. Why, how…unprecedented.
Secret Service agents and transition officials served as bouncers, consulting their lists as reporters begged their way in: “I RSVP’d! Last night!” About 100 people back in the line was no less a personality than Karen Tumulty, a veteran political writer for Time magazine.
“No less a personality” — and no less a deranged lickspittle, either. But as JWF notes, some comic relief from Milbank’s usual sycophancy is to be found in the comments, starting with this: “What a bunch of morons the presstitutes are.” But hey, at least these featherheads have all been focused on the real issues the past two years — like, say, what bigots all of us who refuse to kiss the Anointed One’s ring are — and didn’t allow their reliably skeptical gimlet-eyed gaze to be turned aside from those vital social issues ‘n’ stuff by distractions.
On a weirdly related note, looks like another tarnished liberal-media “rock star” — call him The One v1.0, supposedly a stable release but in reality loaded with bugs and pretty much unusable, causing crashes on launch and eventually requiring a hard reboot — is attempting a comeback. Oh, frabjous day! With new, improved Hopeychange™, looks like everything old is new again.
