« That Racist Danzinger Cartoon Explained (?) | Main | Erosion Continues: Bush Slips Behind Nationally, and in Ohio »
October 13, 2004

And I Thought Oliver Willis Was Not-Funny

H/t to Drudge. So, to get those possibly-drifting Jewish voters back into the Democratic camp, some moron has come up with a Jewish superhero -- a Jewish grandmother named "Bubbie" -- and put together a cartoon of her kicking the ass of the GOP.

It's every bit as funny as you'd think. By which I mean: Not funny. Fucking embarassing.

I did a Jewish Grandmother schtick the other day. But my schtick was ironic. (Not funny, mind you, but ironic.) I mean, the Jewish grandmother thing is such a cliche that it's only funny when you're playing it as a cliche.

Not for real. Then it's just fucking stupid and trite.

This asshole really seems to think that Jews need a Jewish cartoon character to inspire them to vote the right way.

Eh. Or, should I say: Feh.

It remains an amazement to me that I am not yet on television.

Update: The Hebrew-sounding synth music is really subtle, too.

I'm not saying it's racist or anti-semitic, mind you. It's just... jackass.

In order to do my part to convert Jewish voters to the GOP, I'm going to spend the next week talking about nothing except Fiddler on the Roof and Ben Gazzarra.

Better Still: I'll get Bowzer to guest-blog. That'll bring the Jewish vote.

Because, if I know one thing about politics, I know this to be diamond-hard fact:

Jews. Love. Fuckin'. Bowzer.

Bowzer.

I saw this idiotic thing this morning. Pathetic JibJab wanna be.

My goodness... that had the potential of being funny... but once the grandmother began spouting talking points I shut it off. You'd think they'd be able to make it at least a *little* funny.

This was pretty offensive in of itself. THat it was hosted by an official arm of the DNC is extremely offensive. You would think after that little to-do in Europe 60 or so years ago the JEws would be more sensitive about wildly inaccurate charges made in the form of grotesque caricature.

Fuck This is possibly even more outrageous than that Condi-as-plantation-mammy cartoon. I can't believe Jews were involved in creating this. The part where Perle and Wolfowitz say "we're one of you" and start doing the hora hit me right in the gut; it's very nearly anti-Semitic.

Actually this reminds me of that stupid "Choice Girl" animation they had a while ago, down to almost every detail. Maybe next week it'll be "Trial Lawyer Man".

Nah, come on. I don't think it's actually anti-semitic. Even if Jews weren't involved with it, I don't think it's anti-semitic.

I don't like the left's tendency to take EVERY play on an ethnic stereotype, no matter how inoffensively meant, as an "outrage" (at least when committed by political opponents).

The cartoon is fucking stupid and jackass and yeah, trite in its peddling of a very well-worn Jewish grandma stereotype. But I think we have to distinguish bad humor from ill humor.

Posted by: ace on October 14, 2004 01:22 AM

Well, nearly so. Taken out of context, showing Perle and Wolfowitz doing the hora might seem like an innocent joke (not a funny joke, but that's another story), but given the vitriol at the Jews/"neo-cons" who have been involved in creating our foreign policy, I'd say it's treading on very thin ice.

"Pathetic JibJab wanna be."

I'm glad someone else noticed the animation style was a poor imitation of Jibjab.

Low-T High-Calorie Potato Brian Stelter: "Matthew Dowd is no longer an MSNBC political analyst, according to a network source."
Matt Dowd, former Disney Groomer Corporation Political Director and John McCain advisor (of course), is the one who blamed Charlie Kirk's shooting on the real assassin, Charlie Kirk, claiming that Charlie's "hateful words lead to hateful actions."
Trump speaks about the "heinous assassination" of Charlie Kirk, notes the left relentlessly demonized him until they radicalized an assassin to kill him
"For years, the radical left has compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to NAZlS... this type of language is DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for the terrorism we're seeing in our country today.
And it must stop RIGHT NOW!"
Argentinian PM Javier Millei: "The left is always, at all times and places, a violent phenomenon full of hatred."
I disregard their hate. It's the violence that we object to. And we will begin objecting to it with force.
Update: Kash Patel says the person of interest has been interrogated and then released. Wrong guy, I guess.
But as the hours pass without a real suspect, and with the FBI apparently interrogating uninvolved people, I begin to fear the assassin has escaped. I mean, they don't seem to be following a breadcrumb trail, they seem genuinely baffled.
Karol Sheinin: I can confirm the person of interest questioned by the FBI is Zachariah Ahmed Qureshi.
If this is the guy -- apparently he also interned at Heritage.
Update: Source says he's been released? Wrong guy?

There was fear aplenty. But the truth is, a lot of the panic Americans saw on television was performative. The throngs of people along Convention Center Boulevard sat patiently in the broiling weather, five or six deep in folding chairs on the sidewalk, waiting for something, someone, to arrive. Then, a television crew or photographer would show up, and people would pour into the street, falling on their knees, screaming and gesticulating to the camera. It was an awful situation, obviously, but when the camera wasn't on them, it was remarkable how patient and orderly everyone was.

Cracker Barrel is going back to the old logo. Company statement: "We thank our guests for sharing your voices and love for Cracker Barrel. We said we would listen, and we have. Our new logo is going away and our "Old Timer" will remain. At Cracker Barrel, it's always been - and always will be - about serving up delicious food, warm welcomes, and the kind of country hospitality that feels like family. As a proud American institution, our 70,000 hardworking employees look forward to welcoming you to our table soon."
Elric the Blade says he's no longer sure that Trump will have the right to appeal in the NY fraud case:
Yesterday, I thought that Trump had an appeal as of right on the fraud liability, based upon news reports that cited the second opinion as declining to find in favor of liability. That would give Trump at least 2 dissenting judges for an appeal as of right.
But now, after seeing the actual decisions, I'm not so sure. Sorry, guys. I've never seen or heard of what the second opinion did. They dissented, but ... decided not to dissent? I'm not sure what the effect is in terms of whether Trump has a right to appeal. I doubt anyone does.
I think even if Trump doesn't have a right of appeal, the Court of Appeals (NY's highest court) will take the case. But ... it's a liberal court so who knows how they'll rule. I have the docket number so I can track what gets appealed to the Court of Appeals. If Trump wants to appeal, I think he might file an appeal as of right and a petition for permission to appeal. His lawyers know this case much better than I, but even they might know what the effect of all the opinions are.
I don't think they'll take the appeal. Judges are lazy and cowardly and will duck any hot potato case they can. These judges are also liberal hacks, and do not want to deliver Trump a full victory.
