Shooting Fish in a Barrel

Use whatever term you want.  Shooting fish in a barrel.  Grabbing the low hanging fruit.  Whatever.  I previously stated in this blog that I did not want to go exclusively to the dark side, i.e. cover all the idiots in politics.

Hang on tight, boys and girls, we have 3.875 more years of this.  Unless, of course, Revolution 2010 takes its course.  (If you agree, stop here, too, and wear your support!)

Until then, I’ve accepted the fact that an overwhelming number of IOTW (Idiot of the Week) candidates will come from the political realm.  And since I am a regular reader of Michelle Malkin’s site, I will have plenty of fodder from both sides of the aisle.

So who is the newest IOTW candidate?

A ditch digger?  Nah, someone lower than that.

A strung out rock star?  No, that’s still too high on the totem pole.

A politician?  Nope, keep going lower.

An “I sold my soul to Barack Obama” media type?

BINGO!

As I stated here, Barry-O winning the Presidential sweepstakes wasn’t so much about Barry-O, per se, but about the baby boomers attempting to leave a legacy.  They hadn’t done anything historical yet.  Not in the way of MLK-historical, or WWII-historical, or Henry Ford-historical.

Someone must have slipped kool-aid drinking, NYT columnist David Brooks an antidote.  Probably some gun-clinging, religion-clinging salt-of-the-earth conservative.

No, I did not say “republican”.  And yes, the little “r” is intentional.  (Maybe I should present Michael Steele as a candidate, too.  Naah, that would be like putting a dead fish in a barrel, then shooting it.)

David Brooks got what he deserved.  He can look at his IRA and 401k statements, then look in the mirror and blame himself.  Intelligent, freedom-loving Americans will be happy to remind him.
