Another HuffPo would be author in tears….
“Famous for Being famous: The Sarah Palin Show Is On the Air” is the latest rant from Bob Cesca – trust me he is a real person, he has even written a book called “One Nation Under Fear: Scaredy Cats and Fear-Mongers in the Home of the Brave’ what you never heard of it? That’s okay it’s not a real book , it is a collection of ‘blog like entrys’ in book form which contains some brilliant things he says about how unfair we are to suspected Muslim extremists.
Here is an example of the brilliant Mr. Cesca “Officials ordered nine Muslim passengers, including three young children, off an AirTran flight headed to Orlando from Reagan National Airport yesterday afternoon after two other passengers overheard what they thought was a suspicious remark. All but one of these passengers were American citizens. And all they did was to comment about how close their parked airplane was to another airplane. It required FBI assistance in order to be booked onto another flight. AirTran has since “apologized” and offered reimbursement for their missed flight and the cost to catch a flight on another carrier. I imagine that the lawsuits will fly soon despite their efforts. (oops, kind of made a pun there). It really sounds like some folks just need to mellow out. I understand the need for vigilance, but it’s getting borderline retarded out there” Wow Bob, that is freaking brilliant. I can’t understand why you don’t have crowds of people waiting for copies of your book or why you are not #1 on Amazon (or anyplace else). How do your comments play out now in light of Fort Hood? Are you still prescribing unchecked Political Correctness?
Maybe that is Bob Cesca’s real problem. No one takes him, his blog, or his little collection of essays seriously. I can understand why that would cause him such frustration, and seeing the success of Sarah Palin must really irritate this guy. But really Bob, let’s examine your article a little bit here. First of all you start your rant, I mean ‘article’ by saying “I’m not sure what I have more contempt for. Sarah Palin’s pathological lying or the people who can say with a straight face that Sarah Palin is qualified for anything other than a reality show contestant or the the Edie McClurg role in a remake of Planes, Trains & Automobiles.” and then continue “What’s even more alarming is the constant reporting from the cable news people this week: Sarah Palin is famous! Wow! But no one is digging into exactly why she’s famous.”
Well gee Mr. Journalist, beyond watching Tina Fey’s SNL skits on YouTube, what kind of research did you do? You called Sarah Palin a “pathological liar” without offering any examples (real classy guy) and apparently did zero research into what Sarah Palin is famous for. What makes Sarah Palin special is that she started her political career by tackling corruption in her own party and took on the old-boy network in Alaska. Something that requires a little more personal fortitude than simply calling someone names behind the dubious ’shield’ of the Huffington Post.
Your total ignorance of Sarah Palin’s background is manifested in your statements such as “Here’s how it works: Take a not unattractive rube with a screwy family and mix in some drama. Add cameras and POOF! We have a candidate/show.
Is there any other formula to explain the obsession with, say, Jon & Kate? Or the Balloon Boy family? The Sarah Palin Show is nothing more than a confessional interview with poorly articulated politics tossed into the mix.”
Does the fact that Sarah Palin has far more political experience than our President even counting his one year disaster of a Presidency count for anything? I know that you didn’t do any research on this article Bob, but maybe you could have at least looked at the fact that President Obama did umpteen “Town Hall” meetings that were as scripted as an Episode of “Big Bang Theory” (just not as funny), were he was ever so fortunate to only have those who love him question him and he did that same phony “put my jacket over my arm and roll up my sleeves” move at every town hall less than 2 minutes into each speech. he gave a speech a week, appeared on EVERY talk show with one notable exception and in 1 facebook post Sarah Palin changed the game. Bet you wish you could do that with your little Wednesday article on Huffington Post.
So actually Bob, your literary effort consisted of seeing what Huffington Post was writing checks for this week, reading what the other ‘journalists’ had to say and putting your own little slant on it. Great job. But maybe if you are really after fame, you’ll learn that there is real work involved. It’s not about kissing ass and saying what you are asked to say. It’s not about acting like a wannabee rebel while spouting the party line (which is exactly what you are doing).
Ann Coulter has famously (and correctly) stated that “If you want to know what Liberals are up to, read what they accuse you of”. Hmmm, sounds about right in this case.
