Dummocrats.com Coins New Term: Pretty-in-Pink DemocratsDummocrats.com riffs off by Blaine comments and coins a new term: Pretty in Pink Democrats. Even worse than liberals created by Blaine's social viciousness are liberals created by genuine ass-kicking. Such Cobra-Kai Liberals often try to pick fights with people later in life, always trying to heal adolescent feelings of impotency by wrestling people. Al Franken is the prototypical Cobra Kai liberal. This is one group of liberals I have some sympathy for. If you were about to get all up in Elizabeth Shue's shit when some surf-nazis dressed as skeletons karate-kicked your ass into next week, you'd probably be looking for some payback later in life, too. But they're not to be confused with Footloose liberals, liberals who are convinced that this really is 1952 and America is in danger of having John Lithgow take away their right to dance. Somewhat related are Dead Zone liberals, who wake up with night-terrors at the thought of a Republican President praying to God and then nuking the world like the mutants from Beneath the Planet of the Apes. Creepy atonal organ music features prominently in these nightmares, as do frequent flashes of James Fransiscus' little white ass. There's also the political movement called Benderism, composed of disciples of John "No, Dad, what about you?!" Bender. These Benderites live in a state of perpetual adolescent rebellion and are convinced that not behaving like a prick constitutes "selling out to the man." They also attempt to hide their weed in the shorts of law-abiding citizens like myself. And then there are the Fake-Laugh Liberals, liberals who like to show their political stripes by forcing whooping fake laughs at unfunny statements they agree with. Jon Stewart and Bill Maher -- and, of course, Margaret Cho -- have careers only due to Fake-Laugh Liberals. A subvariety is the See? I Get It, That's Why I'm Fake-Laughing Liberal, who are key to Woody Allen's otherwise-inexplicable ability to get financing for his latest cinematic abortion. These are liberals who fake-laugh not necessarily because of actual political sympathies, but because they want to show that they understood Allen's ten-billionth reference to Marshall Fucking MacLuhan because, you know, they went to a good college (and/or saw Annie Hall). By pretending to laugh at yet another Woody Allen Leopold & Loeb reference, they demonstrate that they're better and smarter than you are. Finally there is the well-known group of liberals called West Wing liberals, liberals who have effectively opted out of reality and put bumper-stickers on their car reading My President is Jeb Bartlett. They think the key to winning elections is to be even more unabashedly liberal, because that seems to work on the TV show. I like these liberals, because they're pretty much absenting themselves from actual political discourse, leaving us conservatives free to spin our nefarious plots. It's Still Kinda Funny Update: Luckily for us, we still have NRO contributor/star of St. Elmo's Fire Andrew McCarthy on our side. Even if Ducky is lost to us forever. posted by Ace at 02:36 PM
CommentsWasn't Footloose was set in the the then-present day of 1984? Posted by: George on October 18, 2004 03:22 PM
You want to see funny? Take a look at Bender in five years... Posted by: George on October 18, 2004 03:29 PM
ace this will make you smile: Posted by: VI on October 18, 2004 03:46 PM
VI, Thanks, but I already posted that. Scroll down. George, Yeah, it was nominally set in 1984, but clearly it's actually set in 1952. Or during the sixteenth-century witch-burnings. And yeah, it IS funny to see Bender in five years. Posted by: ace on October 18, 2004 03:48 PM
I see what you're getting at -- the metaphorical 1952. This ties in with something my wife and I were discussing this weekend. Is it not true that just about any of the teen movies made for our generation are better than any of the teen movies made today? Has not the Golden Age of teen cinema come to a close? Take Footloose, for example. Not even the best movie of the period, but you have not only this metaphorical tie-in to persecutions of bygone eras, but there is a scene in which the hellfire and brimstone preacher literally runs across town to stop a book-burning. It gives the character depth, and paves the way for his later redemption. If this movie were made today, Lithgow would run to the book-burning, where he would toss a few books of his own on the fire, lynch somebody and then hold an impromptu Republican political rally on the spot. Pretty in Pink. Breakfast Club. Weird Science. Real Genius. Better Off Dead. Even one of my forgotten favorites -- Three O'Clock High. All a bazillion times better than anything made for Generation Next. Gee, a kid has sex with a pie. Color me unimpressed. Posted by: George on October 18, 2004 04:02 PM
I think there are Weird Science liberals. Actually, Chet liberals. They pick on everybody, and are very braggadocious. Until they get turned into a turd. Posted by: sentinel on October 18, 2004 04:33 PM
Don't forget Big Trouble in Little China. God, I miss the 80s. My misspent youth. Posted by: Smack on October 18, 2004 04:44 PM
Big Trouble is outstanding, but I was thinking about the teen movie in particular. Mean Girls grossed something like $100 million. It was not the worst movie I've ever seen, but it blew in comparison to just about any of the girl-oriented high school movies of the 80s. Basically, it's no Sixteen Candles. "No more yanky my wanky. The Donger need food!" Posted by: George on October 18, 2004 05:05 PM
Surely there must be Wargames Liberals: those who believe war is mere primitive impulse which must one day destroy us all, unless a young Matthew Broderick can save us. Posted by: Brian on October 18, 2004 05:06 PM
Bingo! Kerry is a Wargames liberal, obviously. He wants to get out of the need to win by refusing to play the game while retaining the threat that he could play. This doesn't work when you're locked in the court and the other guy is very determined to play and will bounce the ball off your head quite happily until you're an unconscious bloody heap on the ground.

Hey, don't knock the Beneath the Planet of the Apes mutants. Their psionic purity may be all the stands between us and total ape conquest. BETTER A DEAD PLANET THAN SLAVES TO LIVE MONKEYS! Cheers, Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on October 19, 2004 12:04 AM

The Trump Curse strikes again. She went from an apolitical ditz to a Hillary Clinton Crusader in 2016 and her career bottomed out like Hillary Clinton's blood sugar level after a weekend of vodka and self-pity. The Trump Curse even follows you into space, yo. Or at least into the lower upper atmosphere.

Republican running for Mitch McConnell's seat literally trashes him in new ad
It's the anniversary of the Biden debate debacle.
Biden's senility becomes undeniable. The Democrats pronounced that he had clearly triumphed in the debate. How CNN reported Biden's "intense" debate prep before the debate and then after. Amy Klobuchar predicted victory. The Washington Examiner looks back at the Night of Great Stuttering.
Kari Lake, just when I think you couldn't get any dumber, you pull a stunt like this, and totally redeem yourself!!!
I think the Democrat is arguing that the political appointees should exercise no control over their rabidly communist VOA employees. This is what they're always arguing -- they stock the bureaucracy with literal communists and then claim that the voters should have no control over these unfirable radicals. Lake offers a for-instance that will appeal to this Democrat of allegedly-suspect bedroom guests.
