Mad Marsh Mixes Multiple Metaphors

Mushy is mad. Her hero Bill Clinton (or “William Jefferson Clinton,” as she compulsively writes five times in one post) felt obliged to state that he is not a racist on camera, and Marsh is mad enough to stomp bunnies.  Not finding bunnies underfoot, she stomps the English language instead, larding this example sentence with enough mixed metaphors to fry a dozen Twinkies:

However, when on the same day William Jefferson Clinton is compelled to insert into the political blood stream that he’s “not a racist,” the combination of sound bites meets up in a fusion so explosive for Democrats that it becomes a gift of dynamite for Republicans that could propel them to a racial high road they don’t deserve to hold.

Sweet Jeebus weeping disconsolately over a tattered copy of Strunk & White’s Elements of Style. Marsh, in a quixotic effort to stand athwart the PUMA bog and nutroots cash cow, has leapt to new linguistic heights, jumpstarting a train of thought that sails to nowhere.

Her point? No Democrat ever injected race into the primary, nor has John McCain or any official Republican and certainly not the saintly William Jefferson Clinton (who has always been good to you people and would never employ a racial dog whistle to turn out toothless inhabitants of the Appalachians for the Frau).

So get over it, whiners, or McCain will ride into the White House on a wave of “lunch-bucket” waving, aggrieved white folks who are tired of all the bitching and moaning about slaves they never personally owned. Don’t say she didn’t warn you.

"Athwart”.  Excellent.  I appreciate good vocabulary which is why I could never be a “low-information voter” (dog-whistle that) or the Party that Undermines Mental Acuity.

Shoot Gimme, don’t let Betty fool ya, she picked up “athwart” from a Thers post yesterday about a wingnut who used it. Betty’s prolly like that McTate woman, a secret spy for Pajamas media.

Now to Marsha, Marsha, Marsha. Umm honey? You travel a high road or a low road (and I’ll get to Scotland before ye).

You take and hold the High ground, something Bill Clinton managed to do during his tenure of Republican-Lite governing, even when he was lying to our faces about a blowjob.

That’s how bad the Republican brand is—Clinton is considered an honorable source.

And since when did rabid right wingers ever need to be fused with anything to go a-spouting off with enough rage to fuel the Battlestar for like a fabillion years?

BTD at TalkLeft used exactly the same meme: Isn’t it a crime how poor Bill Clinton was forced to state that “he’s not a racist,” even though the issue was never raised?

Jack and Jill has a good post on this.

Wow, I nevee thought I’d say to Paris Hilton You Go Girl!111!! but I am now after watching this link put up at Balloon Juice.

Taylor fail English?  That’s unpossible!

And heavens to quaaludes! now the GOP might feel that it’s ok to use race as an issue in the Presidential race?  No one could have anticipated blah blah blah…

Why does anyone read Taylor Marsh?  Seriously, does she have anything of value to add to anything?

Humboldt - Thers would make sense.  I had the opportunity to meet the man a couple of months ago and his vocab matches what you read - even without dictionary and thesaurus!  And Paris was hilarious.

Ripley, Taylor is like watching a car wreck - the comments section is pure gold.

Oh, and my husband had fun with PhotoShop.  Check out Ms. Buffalo Chip ‘08 and feel free to share:

Bwaaah!  I am so going to steal that line.

Mah Daddy told me that when people say “I am not a (fill in the blank),” it’s code for “I am most DEFINITELY a (fill in the blank).”

(See Nixon, Richard M., “I am not a crook” as well as Clinton, William Jefferson, “I am not a racist.)
