I have to admit that I got this from
Salon.com's War Room, but what's a little borrowing going to hurt?
Besides, they lack my insightful commentary and quick wit.
The always humorous ladies at the Concerned Women for America pose a question on their site, what if Frank Sinatra had gone on American Idol and Kennedy and Schumer fillibustered...wow...what a concept. So, I guess Comedy Central can rest easy, they can always use Jan Larue now that Dave Chappelle is gone.
I have no idea why it took the chief counsel of the Concerned Women of America wrote this. I realize that she probably didn't actually write it, but why claim that its your in-house legal expert? Is there some sort of legal opinion or commentary here I'm not seeing? Gawd, the article smacks of one of those conservative blowhards that write a column for a college paper after reading way too much
P. J. O'Rourke.
Of course, Ms. LaRue (I say "Ms." because I know she'd hate that) uses Frank Sinatra as her example. I always laugh at the unhipness of the people in the conservative movement. Sinatra had his first records, when? Late fourties? Don't get me wrong, I like him too. I think it just indicates how far out of it they are if they couldn't come up with any other singer from the intervening sixty years.
The thing I found most funny about this is that these senators are supposedly preventing the audience from voting. They are actually blocking themselves from voting, if you want to take the metaphor that far. Maybe Ms. LaRue is thinking that the public should be allowed to make their voices heard on these nominees? Hey, that would be great. Let Priscilla Owen or William Pryor go up for a public vote, we'll see how that goes. Yo, LaRue, the "audience" doesn't like the singing of your crowd either.
She missed a chance there at the end (either that or just got it wrong)...she could have said "Send in the clowns...they are already here..."
Ah, I can't expect cleverness from this crowd.
