I Called It!

Krugman today:

Basically, the political philosophy of the GOP right now seems to consist of snickering at stuff that they think sounds funny. The party of ideas has become the party of Beavis and Butthead.

I called it back on January 28:

Prompted by Drudge and Limbaugh, the Republicans are lurching around like less-cool, less-serious Beavis & Butthead knockoffs, snickering at the mere mention of birth control; their suit jackets slung over their heads Cornholio-style as they cackle, “He said rubbers! Mmm-heh-heh. Uhhh-huh-huh. But take us seriously or else.”

    I think Bob is famouser than the establishment lets on… evidence the first – Krugman copycatting! Evidence the second… Joe Scarborough pee-pantsing…QT

    Queen,I agree – Bob, like a lot of artist, needs to up his self promo game…even as high profile as he is…And I’ve been pushing him for AUDIO BOOKS … he’s got the material AND the voice. Yay Bob GO!

  • Alan4s

    I vote for Audiobooks too. One Nation Under Fear downloaded to my iPod from Audible.com would kick ass.

    I heard Noron quoting this earlier on the MSNBC and did a double take. Was surprised to hear it was Krugman, not The Cesca.

  • Lee Stranahan

    Alan – totally – it would be ENTERTAINING, too – something some audiobooks aren’t….One of the best audiobooks IMO is Sarah Vowell’s Assassination Vacation. Multiple voices – just fun and interesting. Love to see that sort of treatment for Bob’s book.

    Well, I can say that I was feckin’ impressed with Obama. I only misted up once, though.

  • danann

    That’s why I come here. Bob gets it, before anyone else. And articulates it. I love it

    Packy – what was your mist-up moment? (Mine are on my site. Yes. I’m bragging. I blogged today. Said nothing. Quoted the president. LOL!)QT

  • thruwithbuzz

    I misted up too Packy, mine was when he was talking about the school girl writing the letter.

  • J M Ashby

    I Heart Krugman

  • natasha

    Because you rock, Bob! And always hit the nail on the head!

  • AdyLeigh

    They’re a little like “Dumb and Dumber” too.Also, “Bobby Jindal, Mark Sanford, Rick Perry and Haley Barbour’s Excellent Adventure.”

    Bob is overrated.He cannot remove stubborn stains and his gravy is always lumpy.

    I watch the old people doing tai chi. There’s one very old woman who hugs a very old tree for awhile at the end of the program…some sort of the life force thing.If it were anyone else but her, it would be idiotic foolishness.I like watching her hug the tree.For her, and for me as long as it’s her, it’s real.I especially like that tree.

    lol cousinavi. I haven’t attempted to use Bob’s stubborn stain removing powers. But I think you’re right. Joe Scarborough is still in the tv… :( QT

    Bob’s looking a bit needy. Your horn sounds best when it is blown by others.
