House of Eratosthenes

So Bagdad Bob Gibbs wants to make fun of Sarah Palin with his hand. Very clever, Mr. Gibbs. But as Gerard’s seventh comment, from CBDenver, notes — it’s a bit too late for any good comedy. Palin already made any snark her own private domain the day before. She does that. One of many reasons she’s called Sarahcuda.

Nice try, though.

Anyway, you need to represent your boss just a little bit better. He’s about oh so much more than hope and change…isn’t He? So we thought we’d help the press secretary out a little bit (click for larger).

You might want to use an extra-fine Sharpie, and continue on the other hand.

You’ve got a shopping list too, Bob? Aw, that’s a toughie. Guess that’ll have to go on your tie, or your ankle or something.

Update 2/10/10: Ah, I see over at Hot Air, Derek‘s photoshop of Bagdad Bob’s actual hand has been picked up by the Malkin crowd so I suppose that will become the “official” version. Ah well. Mine’s funnier.

But why dwell on it anyway. Oh yeah that’s right — Bagdad Bob Gibbs is the official spokesman of the President of the United States of America. We are impacted, directly, each and every day, by the decisions made there…

Now, on the other hand (har!), why does Gibbs care about Sarah Palin’s hand? Uh, she’s the running-mate on the losing ticket from fifteen months ago. Governor of — oh no wait, no she isn’t, not anymore. She’s a private citizen who wrote a note on her hand before appearing on teevee, and the White House has to take the time to comment on it. The White House. The constitutional government’s ultimate executive authority. They’d like to get the final word on things Palin writes on the palm of her hand.

*Sniff*

That isn’t fear I smell?

Off topic, but interesting article about repeal of the 17th amendment:

You can tell Palin is winning hearts and minds. When all her detractors & critics have to throw at her is this kind of crap, obviously she’s doing damage. You’ll notice they never seem to respond directly to anything she says, just keep calling her stupid names and insisting she’s “stupid,” their favorite method of dismissal of any prominent conservative.

I’m becoming embarrassed for the man, seriously. He tries so hard, so very hard at being cool with all that seventh grade, please pay attention to me ‘cause I’d just learned a new dirty word type snarkiness. But like the pasty faced, pudgy, redheaded, uncool to his bones asshole that he is but doesn’t know it, and never will know it, he keeps desperately trying to be relevant.

Dude must have been humiliated way too many times at dodgeball so now he’s “gonn’a show ‘em all”.

Well hey, he’s still trying at what I quit somewhere around the sixth grade. You could say I’m more mature than he is, but you could also say he’s more resilient than I am. And he does have a more prestigious job…I suppose…if you’re the type who would envy what he’s doing.

At least he does have the drive and determination of Sisyphus and has managed to channel it into something. A lot of good men cannot make the same claim, so you at least have to give him credit for that.

But what a gig he’s got. Oy. Takes a special person to fit into that. And I’m not sure I mean that in any complimentary kind of way.

Interesting…the too-cool-for-words 0bama has the most uncool person in the world for a press secretary. I guess that shows his lapdog press what he thinks of them.
