Seldom has a journeyman book reviewer come so shamelessly unspooled as Michiko (Ah Hate Republicans) Kakutani did the other morning in The New York Times.
Michi, as she calls herself, worships daily at the altar of St. Barack Obama, the Joke Who Became President.
Frustratingly undisciplined at the age of 62, the vicious liberal toady whipped herself into what smelled like a drugged-out hurricane in assessing a new critical biography of St. Barack.
A devout adherent of the Gospel of Liberalism – destroy all opponents, do not debate them – Michi, vengeful blood in her uncontrolled eyes, lunges madly for a nearby butcher knife and plunges it into the heart of author David J. Garrow and what she calls his despicable tome, “Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama.”
She vowed to get even with Prof. Garrow in her review
Finally there is an honest assessment of the weakest Democrat since Carter, and Michi responds by proudly waving her childish lack of self-control. Importantly, she means to harm, not merely criticize.
At the heart of the 1,460-page book, Prof. Garrow, himself a progressive Democrat, argues that St. Barack morphed from a potentially decent person into a crazed, icily race-calculating narcissist in 2002, when the White House realistically hovered into view.
In a major memorable portion of Rising Star that annoys easily annoyed Michi, Prof. Garrow lengthily discusses Sheila Miyoshi Jager. A white girl, she was St. Barack’s ongoing girlfriend until St. Barack decided that if he was going to advance to the political ceiling, he needed a girlfriend who matched the color of his black half. Oooooh, that made Michi stomp her patent leathers until they decomposed, like their mistress, because no one was supposed to know this.
Nothing wrong with criticizing a long, long awaited non-worshipping sizeup of the work-averse president who made Christopher Columbus look home-bound.
But Michi behaves like a spurned ex-spouse.
As a pooped-out princess of pettiness, Michi scolds Prof. Garrow for not loving St. Barack as unstintingly as she does.
“Garrow even mocks Obama, repeatedly, for spending too much time on the golf course. (What, one wonders, would he make of Donald J. Trump?)
Mature Michi Mouse.
