Mike Munger's Way With Words
Submitted by James on Thu, 02/14/2008 - 10:20am
From today's News and Observer:
On Perdue:
"Bev Perdue seems to be running largely on a platform that it's her turn.
"She's an automaton. It's like a Stepford wife. She has no issues.
"She's running commercials that mostly seem to establish that she was once a child. She was once younger, and that at some points in her life, she's had some unfortunate haircuts.
On Richard Moore:
"A lot of the money Richard Moore is getting is from Wall Street, firms that are making contributions based on the dealings Richard Moore had in releasing bonds ... as state treasurer with those same Wall Street firms.
"It doesn't just seem like a conflict of interest. It is a conflict of interest. He says he doesn't have any problem with that, and the reason is because it's not against the law. It's extremely unethical. It's repulsive."
All the Republican candidates
"For years I thought elections were about issues.
"I'm now convinced that what most people are looking for is the answer to this question: 'Would I let you watch my cats if I was going on vacation to the beach for a week?' And the Republicans are putting up people you don't want watching your cats.
"You don't trust them. You don't look at them and say, 'That's somebody that would manage to feed them on time, that would change the litter box.'"
Um....in other words
We need to go back to the drawing board?

My take on these admittedly limited comments
is that Munger is being clever at the expense of his political opponents. Other than the Moore comment they show a profound lack of depth (which is generally unlike Munger). The Moore comment is lacking the relevant detail of just how much money is Moore getting from Wall Street honchos that he does business with as treasurer.
"... unfortunate haircuts ...", come on.
And of course republicans don't clean litter boxes, that's what the little people are for. Or automatic litter box cleaners.

Yeah....they were petty
but....well....I admit I laughed at the unfortunate haircut comment.....'cause you know those haircuts were stylish back when. We've all had an unfortunate do or two in our lives and some of us have made some unfortunate apparel choices as well. I'm just glad mine haven't been captured on film.

Oh my gosh, if anyone saw my high school
yearbook pictures, I'd be moving to Bali or something.
A big head of hair (70's) on a 160 pound, 6'2" body. I have since gained a few pounds wich is mostly good and (sigh) some not so good.

I wouldn't even consider letting those
dudes watch my cats. I'm sure they would sell them while I'm gone (greedy bastids)!

Thanks, Mike. I needed that.
Until the Daily Show gets its writers back (tonight?) we need this sort of "third party" comedy.
What body Mike?
His model is Jesse Ventura, the former professional wrestler who shocked the political world by winning the Minnesota governor's office in 1998.
"When [Ventura] was first elected, everybody thought it was a joke," Munger says.
"But he was a pretty successful governor in a difficult state. In some ways that would be the model I would use. I would be Michael 'The Body' Munger."*N&O
Dear Bod! You are finally making sense, However, you are going to need some steroids if you really believe your campaign is kicking ass. I knew the real Bod, and you are no Bod at this stage of your political career.
Do you have any idea what the Bod is doing now? He is buying property in Costa Rica along with Mel Gibson since Mel just got off probation....If these two dudes think America is screw, than what hope can you give us if you have no party to promote your cause against those barbarians in Raleigh? And stop picking on little girls because their mother's choice of hair style?
I was under the impression that
Governor "The Body" Ventura grew tired of how fake politics was, so he decided to go back to the reality of professional wrestling...
