Word Salad


MSNBC ALL-STARS
and ilk

... is worth 1000 words




"This ‘toon neatly take his acolytes to task on his insistence in calling a spade an excavation tool:"


Parsing of words.   Like a buncha fledgling linguist professors with their brandy-new degrees.  Sheeesh!  Watching Earnest and Schultz (not me, the shithead on MSNBC- Ed) tapdance their way out of calling Taliban terrorists terrorists is like watching a wannabe-engineer explain to a kindergartner the basic difference between a rock and a stone.

 All I could think of is what the rest of the world must think of us when the human delivery system for PotUSthink gets his merds all wixed and strumbles over the semaphoric features of his anatomy while making absolutely certain not to call a terrorist organization a terrorist organization.

 Schultz was carefully prepped by close advisors to Soetoro and made to memorize the euphemism du jour for terrorist groups.   But his humanity and common sense almost got the better of him when he tried desperately to say that the Taliban is an armed insurgency which merely performs acts similar to terrorism and only in Afghanistan while a true terror group such as Al Qaeda performs precisely the same acts but on wider scale, those acts being killing children, bombing buses, murdering innocent civilians, persecuting Christians, hating Jews, and so on. 
 Poor guy’s gag reflex almost got the better of him, but he finally managed to re-swallow the mouthful of vurp and chant the mantra, like a 3rd grader reciting his lines on stage in the obligatory Thanksgiving skit.

 I got to thinking what derogatory nouns and adjectives I can use to describe the incumbent quack.  Came up with some doozies, too, such as poltroon, dastard, libertine, miscreant, enfant terrible, and two I’ve used before that for some reason don’t get much attention, even from FoxNews:  jackanape and popinjay.

 The creep is indeed a bête noir, a dabbler, even after 6 years of on-the-job training.  He’s a trifler, a stagnant neophyte, a still-rank amateur, a business buffoon, a diplomatic dud, and a domestic debacle.
 Aside from the standard descriptors I’ve used on him for several years now, such as arrogant, incompetent, unqualified, inept, intransigent, ineligible, and all those, he’s also pompous, pretentious, insolent, vengeful, bombastic, obdurate, disdainful, and downright supercilious.

 He’s a proselyte, a dilettante, a jerk, and a klutz.  He’s a liar, a menace, and a Muslim dressed up in taqiyyah.

Personally, I like the flexibility and tang of the pejorative, "jackass."
Even the imagery fits.

No, not Ed Schultz -- ERIC Schultz, Deputy White House Secretary filling in for Josh Earnest yesterday and getting his tongue wrapped all around his eye teeth so that he couldn't see WTF he was saying.

He's prob'ly not a bad guy, just a young man who hasn't quite got over being a fargin liberal.

Ed Schultz is an irredeemable asshole. Beyond that I won't even waste words on him.

One small point: I believe the proper term is "jackanapes" not "Jackanape."
Despite the seeming plural, it is actually not.

bocopro said...

Yeah, I looked that up one time a coupla months ago when I used it in a comment somewhere. Found at least two references saying that either is acceptable.

The singular is more or less archaic, or "old-timey" as stated in the Urban Dictionary. Another site (which I can't remember, said that the secondary meaning, "domesticated or tamed monkey," is generally singular whereas the plural is almost always taken to me an annoying asshole.

I decided to go with annoying monkey, heavy on the monkey.

The current elites problem is that they are forcing themselves to lie and believe those lies is that they are being fed lies that are so outrageous that when the repeat them, usually with embellishments, that the ones who told them the lie mock them for believing and repeating the lie.

Old timey, like remembering President Fudd. The Steve Green in me is expressing itself. heh.

Let's not fail to include "malignant narcissist".

All-in-all, however, we tend to fall back on old reliable terms like "fucking scumbag".
