Hard Look (2/23/09)

Howard Beale lives!  And he's a Republican!  And he's been cloned!

Cynical self-promotion, as some ostensible righties dismiss, or spontaneous populism?  If Santelli's been doing this same basic schtick for fourteen years on the cable airwaves, what's changed other than that this time he's taking on a "god"?  In today's Obamedia, how could that NOT make him stand out like a nudist at an Eskimo picnic?  And even if the Prince of Darkness is right, the grassroots rebellion this overt, in-your-face encore to the Democrat Financial Logic Bomb is as real as roast beef and thrice as succulent for what it revealed of Obamunists' gut reaction to TRUE populism.  Santelli simply gave it a TV voice.

Hell, he didn't blither anything all that different than I did this yesterday; he just had a (slightly) larger audience.
