Manufacture of Anecdote
I like Skip Gates as far as I know him from his work on PBS, but the stink over his recent arrest for disorderly conduct marks him for the prissy little celebrity bitch he is.
And for the Lying Narcissist to hold forth on a hugely unimportant incident concocted by some academic friend of his, of which he admitted to not knowing enough? Really? On a night you were supposed to be defending your dream of socialized medicine? Why would you do that, Barry? Didn’t you once claim that your initial and protracted silence on the stillborn Iranian Revolution of 2009 was because you wanted to know what you were talking about first? Why did you make an exception here? Are you some sort of ward heeler —straight representin’? Or are you the President of the United States? Try remembering your place.
It’s fine for these performance artists to pull their stunts or go into hysterics for the sake of an audience. You don’t expect from them more than that. But, because God is a vengeful god, Barack Hussein Obama is also the President —and an American would expect someone in that position to not abuse the bully pulpit for what was essentially a point of personal privilege last night.
