“Lord Messiah.”
That’s what Rush Limbaugh was calling Barack Obama the other day.
At first these words shocked me, and then they started to make some sense.
Obama is a smooth-talking politician.
This smooth talk---with a few trips of the tongue---hums along nicely and is sweet-sounding.
One can even posit that it is eloquent elocution.
Barack Obama sounds like a preacher.
Sometimes you will hear persons in the audience respond to Senator Obama as if he is giving them a sermon.
They mumble sounds of approval.
I can’t figure out what the approving words are that these people utter.
Obama talks and gives homilies to his homeys.
But Lord Messiah?
On his radio program Lord Windbag made me laugh every time that he called Senator Obama Lord Messiah.
I understood this appellation and why Lord Windbag gave it to Lord…
I mean Senator Obama.
Lord Blowhard-Limbaugh’s own limousine of lambasting rants has gotten a lot of mileage (though its rhetorical tires are wearing thin) because of his constant repetition of the words LEFTIST and LIBERAL.
He’s a leftist…the magazine is leftist…they’re all leftists!
Lord Limbaugh always dumps the individuals and groups that he dislikes into his safe and categorical box of slurs and jeers.
It can be pretty funny even when what L. Blowhard-Windbag vents is hyperbolic hogwash.
It’s true that both political parties have their patsies and pimps, so to speak.
The political waters get stinky and slanderous.
The grand prize is the pride, power and glory of becoming the Chief Executive of the United States of America.
The radio and TV shows all ride on the same gravy train as it moves toward the conventions, and then on to the grand central station of Election Day.
It is an exciting and entertaining time.
Meanwhile, soldiers are falling and dying, getting their heads and bodies blown up, as we enjoy the political parade of messiahs and their exhortations.
IT’S THE OIL STUPID!
