The vulture circles

By Owen Paine on Tuesday March 11, 2008 06:22 PM

Few would have dared forsee this three months ago, and even now most seem not to want to let it register. But no matter what, there's gonna be a mighty bad collision between the Dembo's two identity pol dolls -- and Hanoi Johnny will be the sole beneficiary.

Try as they may, not even the sharpest beltway cynics and opportunists, working 24/7 from now to the convention in august, will find some advanced yoga position to put these two into and convince both their bases it's a win.

Black man, white woman, one must fail -- this has legs, and arms and mouths, mouths that will cry foul till November, when their champion is "dumped" by the party's Mr Insider types. Dumped, did I say? No, robbed! Stabbed in the back!

So its beginning to look mighty good for the Poopdeck Pappy express, that is, unless... unless... at the last moment, an aged, bloated, improbable-looking toreador enters the arena, and with lumbering gait offers himself to the weebles -- oh no, not him -- not the party's Uncle Fester -- not... Al Gore!

Once again...why am I not surprised? I'm sure your average DP higher-level hack has long considered this, considering Plastic Al's longtime concerted effort to rehabilitate his public image with his Oscar-winning PowerPoint presentation and his Nobel Prize.

This somehow reminds me of one of my favorite PBS documentary series, the four-part "Spaceflight" series from the mid '80s, which contained some of my favorite launch footage of all time: a lengthy montage of spectacular (unmanned, of course) Mercury-Atlas booster failures from the late '50s/early '60s -- all ending in awesome explosions, of course -- voiced over by an interview with John Glenn, in which Glenn talks about his feelings re:riding to orbit atop a vehicle built by the lowest bidder on a government contract.

The culminating footage was of an Atlas rising majestically from the pad, seemingly headed to a successful flight, until it suddenly does a U-turn in midair and heads straight for the ground, much like a rocket built by Wile E. Coyote and, needless to day, is detonated by the range safety officer.

Which brings us back to the point: just as I thought nominating Hillary was the most self-destructive thing the DP could do, now they're thinking of running Plastic Al Gore for VP. P'wahh ha ha ha hah haaahhhh.

One little problem, though: the Constitution specifically forbids non-native-born citizens from holding the office of President -- including, as I recall, androids.

op:

"Hill's millions will, after a quick mind-douche, slither, every man- and woman-jack of 'em, right back under the tent."

Note also that comments with three or more links may be held for "moderation" -- a strange term to apply to the ghost in this blog's machine. Seems to be a hard-coded limitation of the blog software, unfortunately.
