Well, old Mittful of dollars sure shot himself in the foot, which was in his mouth, to dangerously mix a metaphor. The tragedy is that even shooting off his mouth in the middle of a crisis and potentially endangering lives won’t be enough to change the polls by more than a percentage point or two. The Obama haters would vote for Elmer Fudd before they’d vote for Obama. Rush Limbaugh said so.
The good thing is that the polls are trending upward for Barry, just ever so slightly, and every new day seems to bring a new catastrophe for Mitt. That’s because, being election season, he’s giving speeches pretty much every day. And when Mitt speaks, shit flows from his mouth just as sure as Old Faithful.
I’m not going to condemn the filmmaker. There are enough people out there doing that and, from the couple of trailers I’ve seen the main flaw is that it’s a really crappy film. Not even great for home made with amateur actors. The fact that the whole Arab world is up in arms over it says far more about the Arab world than it does about those who mock the Arab world.
In fact, it rather justifies the mockery.
Yes, free speech means we are allowed to laugh at you, and laugh at the things that are sacred to you. Let’s face it, you look pretty ridiculous, grown men running around the desert dressed in sheets, and everybody name Abu this and Abu that, and shouting “Allah Akbar!” in more situations than Smurfs say “smurf.” Ramadan is a ridiculous holiday. Feast or fast, but make up your fucking mind. And, while you might think that praying 14 times a day while facing Mecca makes you “pious,” most people would define that as “crazy.”
I just hope nobody gets killed over this post.
