UPPITY

[oselle]

Senator Saxby Chambliss* of Georgia expresses his opinion on the proper demeanor that President Obama should adopt during his speech tomorrow night:

"I think he’s gonna have to express some humility based on what we’ve seen around the country this August and that’s not his inclination.”

Interesting, isn't it? Eight years of George Bush Jr. swaggering around like some half-assed John Wayne impersonator, strapping his scrotum up into a Top Gun flight suit and spouting off brainless, cliched machismo like "bring it on" and "with us or against us" and now we've suddenly got the good senator from Georgia worried about the president getting all uppity not being humble. Yes, very interesting.

When Texas secedes, they are welcome to take the whole rest of the Deep South with them.

*I will however say this much for the South -- it sure is unique. The very name "Saxby Chambliss" reads like something straight out of Flannery O'Connor and the South's rich, stinking gumbo of proud bigotry, ignorance, religious hysteria and nostalgia for an apartheid state makes it not just unique but irresistibly, horribly fascinating.

Oh good god. And yet that even doesn't annoy me as much as the fact that we're back again in Far Right Land where they've created the reality. Yeah, he's got to be real humble because "the people" have spoken. Enough of that nonsense where "the people" were the ones who voted for the guy. Nobody but them speaks for America!
