Choke

Anyone notice a pattern emerging with Riverchucky over at The Effluence*?

February 13, 2008:

But the netroots like Howard and I think the failure to get him nominated in 2004 has a lot to do with their zealous frenzy to push Obama down our throats in 2008: it makes them feel important.

March 3, 2008:

The Big Blogs seem to have invested so much of their energy in pushing Obama down our throats it seems like they just can’t comprehend why their sheer willpower alone isn’t sufficient for him to win.

March 18, 2008:

Instead of caving to the big boyz, why aren’t we asking them why they are so insistent about shoving a complete neophyte down our throats and into the Oval Office when they *know* he’s going to be in over his head?

May 8, 2008:

If isn’t your responsibility to give up YOUR hopes and dreams to quell the panic of a bunch of Obama supporters who are trying to shove Obama down our throats whether he’s good for the country or not.

May 21, 2008:

If I were a superdelegate who really wanted to win this fall, I’d keep these numbers in mind because it looks like if Obama is forced down our throats, we might just gag up a loss.

May 27, 2008:

It’s just that at this point in time, we’d rather saw off our right arms than vote for Obama and the miserable shrunken party that is trying to shove him down our throats.

June 1, 2008:

They are going to shove Obama down our throat for our own good, sort of cod liver oil without a spoonful of sugar.

July 11, 2008:

Forcing Obama down our throats during the convention is going to backfire, HUGELY.

August 2, 2008:

Now, you can continue to push Obama down our throats 24/7 and you can continue to publish and propagate falsehoods about whether Hillary wants her name in nomination.

Today:

So, does anyone have a theory why the media is shoving Obama down our throats this year?

I could run those quotes through the ol’ Freudian analysis machine or figure out a way to plug in a “little starbursts” joke (thanks, Betty!) here at the end, but I’m starving and it’s lunch time, so excuse me while I go shove some Obama down my throat.

She seems very afraid of her deepest, darkest fantasies.

Being a Scorpio, I am all for giving in. It makes the obsession tolerable.

I understand his brisket is beyond...

oh…i was trying to link shoving Obama down our throats to 9/11

After all, it’s not like they tried to sh-... um, strongly encourage us to disregard delegate counts and “select” Hillary or anything.

Then again, self-awareness doesn’t seem to be PUMA’s greatest strength.

I would give Riverchucky the same advice my mother gave me so many years ago: Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.

(Though I somehow doubt my mother ever thought that her advice, rendered over plates of broccoli and okra, would be applied to something as far removed as Obama-llatio…)
