There should have been some kind of public health advisory yesterday, but if there was, I missed it. Rick Hairgod Perry, Little Dick Cheney, and Karl Rove were all in town to attend a ceremony paying tribute to the late Anne Armstrong. I thought I noticed an unusual amount of pollution in the air, but it was only the massive concentration of conservative toxicity and nastiness at the big school a few miles down the road.
Jorge, a man for whom the description singularly ungifted might have been invented, has one talent: he likes to make up nicknames for everybody. He thinks it's clever, and so do his admirers. Members of his administration, the White House press corps, and other heads of state have all been beneficiaries of this exercise in juvenile behavior. Russian president Vladimir Putin is known as Pootie-Poot, although Vlad the Impaler might've been more appropriate, since he's as serious as a bloodstain on the wall.
As most people know by now, Pootie-Poot hasn't been on his best behavior lately, and Jorge is so mad he could just stamp his foot. He's been threatening the Pooter with all kinds of repercussions; in fact, he practically guaranteed Pooter won't be getting an invitation to the next big barbeque at Crawford. Jorge's a tough guy who means business, and don't you forget it.
Added 4:28 pm on Saturday: A few conservative blogs are getting a laugh out of reports that Obama's staff told Wes Clark his attendance at the Dem convention will NOT be necessary. If this is true, and if the facts match the superficial appearances, it's another reason not to be sad over Obama's approaching demolition by the Speedo McCain juggernaut. Wes Clark is the only remaining Democrat who hasn't given me a reason to hate him (yet), and he doesn't deserve shabby treatment by the party featherweights.
