At the meeting of the Republican Governor's Association last week, infamous pollster/soulless minion of Satan Frank Luntz went over the latest, newest, hippest ways to ensure that absolutely no truthful or 'reality-based' information is disseminated by anyone on Team (R). Among intriguing pointers such as: 'Don't say 'capitalism' and 'Republicans should forget about winning the battle over the 'middle class,' Luntz also casually mentioned that he is 'so scared of this anti-Wall Street effort. I'm frightened to death...they're having an impact on what the American people think of capitalism.'
I'd so much like to believe that he said that without a tone of mockery and ridicule--that he really is haunted by the spectre of OWS, waking up in a cold sweat from nightmares of being pursued by hippies with puppets. And I've seen Luntz interviewed several times, and he seems 100% humor-free, so I can't imagine he was trying to make a little lighthearted joke as an icebreaker. Because it is Luntz, though--the evil genius behind 'death taxes' and 100 other catchy ways to bludgeon Democrats in every debate since 1994--I can't help but wonder what his game is here. I feel that I'm being played, somehow, but I'm not sure how.
In the meantime, Republicans can't talk about capitalism as if it's Everything You Ever Wanted for Christmas, Every Day! That's happy news. Keep up the good work, kiddos! Oh, and keep some milk on hand to wash the pepper spray out of your eyes.
