The Wonkette's 9/11 Memorial Post
Posted by Dave Blount at September 15, 2008 9:23 PM
It turns out the 9/11 memorial post featuring this…
…at Daily Kos may not have been the vilest glob of moonbattery to ooze out from the left side of the blogosphere last Thursday. The Wonkette devoted a 9/11 post to ridiculing art that honors the victims. Here's how she introduces the topic:
On this solemn day a half-dozen years ago, nearly 3,000 people were horribly killed so that Rudy Giuliani could earn a hundred million dollars and run for president of 9/11 and the most corrupt administration in American History could wage endless war around the world that has killed some 700,000 people while finally restoring energy and defense stocks to the solid dividend payers favored by long-term investors. Also, "September the Eleventh" has inspired the most insipid, maudlin kitsch in the history of an already very kitschy nation, along with some truly stomach-turning old-fashioned American Huckersterism.
The Wonkette denounces our "idiotic culture" and "fucking flag," but saves her bitterest invectives for 9/11 art that features eagles in mourning.
[N]othing says "We sort of had it coming" like the endless variations of the Crying Eagle.
If this picture doesn't make the bile rise up in your throat, so that you just have to spit up a great stinking clot of it all over Old Glory, you have failed to attain progressive enlightenment, and probably won't even vote for Obama.
On a tip from joegosox.
