Lions for Lambs II: The Republic Strikes Back [Mrs. R.]

ACT III (in progress...)

Hey! YOU! Whaddya think you're doin'?

 

 

What does it look like I'm doin'? I'm packin' it in.

 

 

Whaddya mean you're "packin' it in"?

 

 

Callin' it quits. Hangin' it up. Ridin' off into the sunset.

 

 

You can't do that!

 

 

Oh, no?

 

 

Check it out.

 

 

But...but, WHY?!

 

 

Truth is, I'm getting a little sick and tired of being referred to as the Great Satan...

 

 

I mean, it's one thing to hear that kind of crap from Iran or Venezuela. That, I can handle...

 

 

But when I have to listen to allies in Europe, neighbors along the border, and so many of my own citizens talk about me like I'm the devil incarnate, that's total bullsh*t!

 

 

Amen, brother.

 

 

I've had it up to here with being the root of all evil.

 

 

Don't be ridiculous! Everyone knows you're not thaaat bad!

 

 

Hah! That's rich coming from you, a woman who goes on television and tries to convince the world that I was behind 9-11...

 

 

And compares the brave men and women in my armed forces to terrorists and baby-killers...

 

 

You really oughta be ashamed of yourself.

 

 

Oh, c'mon! Where's your sense of humor?

 

 

I was just keeeeding!

 

 

I warn you, friend, do not believe a word she says...

 

 

YOU, SHUT THE F*CK UP!

 

 

And, you...It's not YOU that's the problem...It's BUSH!

 

 

Let's face it, the guy's another Hitler!

 

 

No, wait... I take that back. He's WORSE than Hitler!

 

 

There you go again, demonizing me.

 

 

No. I'm demonizing Bush, not YOU!!

 

 

Yeah, right. Hitler was rotten, but Nazi Germany was swell.

 

 

Anyway, gotta go...

 

 

Before you go, what about all those people who still love you and care about you, huh? You just gonna walk out on them?

 

 

That's kind of chickensh*t, if you ask me.

 

 

 

 

Maybe you can explain to them what happened. You're very good at that.

 

 

Excuse me, brother, may I join you on your journey?

 

 

I, too, have had it up to here with being demonized.

 

 

And, quite frankly, one crucifixion was plenty enough for me, thank you very much.

 

 

Let's ride...

 

 

Hey...Whoa...Why don't the two of you pull up a couple of chairs and we'll talk...

 

 

Maybe we can work something out...

 

 

Sorry, I'm afraid it's a little late for that.

 

 

AH, C'MON, GUYS! PLEASE DON'T GO!...

 

 

IF YOU STAY, I PROMISE I'LL BEHAVE MYSELF! HONEST!

 

 

Relax, I'm sure your plan will work out perfectly. So far, so good, right?

 

 

PLAN?! WHAT PLAN?! W-A-I-T ...S-T-O-P!

 

 

Allahu Akbar...

 

 

ASSALAMU'ALAIKUM!

 

 

See? You're going to be just fine.

Wow.
Just, wow.

[Gordon]

That was very far fetched.

C'mon. Everyone knows Rosie doesn't apologize.

[Mica Vim Toot]

Deadly accurate, Mrs. R.

I hope this piece spreads and gets the attention it deserves.

M. Vim Toot

Criticizing the President is not of necessity criticizing the country. Certainly many people felt free to criticize Clinton and felt that, by doing so, they were trying to make the country better. In addition, didn't the President himself point out that our current war was with Saddam, not with the Iraqi people?

[Amador]

Actually, Mrs. R, if and when the great democracy collapses, a right wing dictatorship will take it's place. Rosie and the moonbats and Hollyweird and the MSM will hightail it outta here or burn. Most of them will prolly go to Canada which will collapse shortly thereafter. Then they can take up street fighting for survival. I doubt it, but they may even enjoy winter.

[Mrs. R.]

Nameless, are you trying to equate a duly-elected U.S. president with Saddam Hussein, or the criticisms the right leveled at Bill Clinton with the left's claim that Bush is Hitler/worse than Hitler? If you are, it doesn't work.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be nameless. I still don't have a username textbox.

No, I'm saying that your thesis seems to be that criticizing the President is the same as criticizing the country as a whole, and that's not necessarily correct.

Rosie says, "No. I'm demonizing Bush, not YOU!!"

And then the flag says, "Yeah, right. Hitler was rotten, but Nazi Germany was swell."

You're saying, aren't you, that one can't separate criticism of the President (or Chancellor or whatever) from criticism of the country?

--DW

[Mrs. R.]

DW, Again, if you equate criticizing with demonizing, we're on two different planets, speaking different two languages.

Nanu-nanu.

I can see that, but when, for you, does criticism shade over into demonizing? I often see perfectly legitimate--even somewhat mild--criticism of Bush get labeled as BDS.

--DW

[John from WuzzaDem]

You don't have to look very far to find plenty of demonizing of both Bush and this country.

As far as Rosie is concerned, she's shown her true colors by throwing out erroneous (exaggerated) figures for Iraqi casualties and asking "Who are the real terrorists?"

[show me]

Just when did the word treason become obsolete?

[Sobek]

"I often see perfectly legitimate--even somewhat mild--criticism of Bush get labeled as BDS."

That doesn't excuse the actual BDS, and Rosie has never been anything remotely close to "mild."

[hunter]

Of course criticizing a President is not unpatriotic. But wishing a country to lose a war, abandoning a nation's army and cause while at war after one voted for it, comparing our President unfavorably to Hitler - all of these are un fact unpatriotic.

[Skul]

Has got to be the best you've ever done. Xnks

[no one you know]

Wow. Amazing.

I hope this ends up in the most viewed. LOTS of people need to see this one...Great job, Mrs. R.

[R. H. Potfry]

Well struck, laddie.

[Mrs. R.]

Thanks, guys, but Ms. Rosie practically writes this stuff herself.

[nikkolai]

Brilliant. Send Rosie a copy.

[spurwing plover]

What did ROSIE O,DONNELL do on the 4th did she go and say it would have been better if we stayed a british subject or that our founding father would have been better off surrendering DARN TORY WACKO

after one voted for it

Hunter: who are you talking about here?

after one voted for it

Hunter: who are you talking about here?

[ac1]

It's like I can hear Big Ro's shrill baritone right through my computer screen.

Thanks a lot.

[Mike]

The post itself was great, but the thing I'm really happiest about here is seeing spurwing plover back in action. It's been entirely too long.

[AnonymousDrivel]

Mrs. R: "Thanks, guys, but Ms. Rosie practically writes this stuff herself."

Now I know this just isn't true. This blog entry lacks the Rosie panache of random words, punctuation, text-messaging format, and incoherence typical of "nuanced" virtual fingerpainting. If you could mark it up in crayon and butchered haiku, then you'd have a better argument.

BTW, nice post. Where do you suppose Stars and Bars can settle? I'm thinking Australia. I love the Aussies and there's that outback just waiting for unaboriginal capitalization. Will they take beads?

[Mrs. R.]

There u r, AD!

Where do you suppose Stars and Bars can settle? I'm thinking Australia.

Too many Islamist militants swarming the South Pacific.

I'm thinking somewhere in the Arctic Circle. Jihadists don't seem to care much for frozen tundra. I know, I know, it's melting - but it won't be a barren desert for at least a another decade or two.

[Dubya]

Too late -- the Russian Mafia have already planted their flag on the north pole.

[No]

"Rosie and the moonbats and Hollyweird and the MSM will hightail it outta here or burn. Most of them will prolly go to Canada which will collapse shortly thereafter. Then they can take up street fighting for survival"

Rosie will make *some*one a nice meal--or ten
