Although, in a numerically technical sense, I appear to have wide-roaming experience with matrimony, none of my legally binding relationships has endured long enough for me to tire of them.
Well, several did.
Only one, though, was as brief as my sojourn in the seventh grade. That was when I probably should have wed this wunderkind because then we would have been intellectual twins.
Mention of grammar school often reminds me of President Swish, the most tiresome personality, the most boring, the least qualified and the most work-averse to blot the White House since who cares when?
If he is not on television, shamelessly plagiarizing himself, unimaginative defenders are on the screen roaring a defense of his latest gaffes.
If President Dull were a television series, he would have been canceled 20 minutes after his overblown inauguration. Never in my memory has a non-entertainment public figure been so grossly overexposed. When was the last time you heard anything fresh or interesting from him.
Here is a new whopper:
It is stunning how many chunks of sentences baldly were stolen from his Sept. 8 jobs speech before Congress and replanted, crudely, in Monday’s Rose Garden speech on jobs. He assumed 12 days later that everybody would forget what he said on the 8th. What a sloppy way to run a skidding country.
You Can Say That Again
“Almost exactly the same speech,” is the way John Podhoretz of the New York Post described Swish’s Rose Garden rerun.
Mr. Podhoretz cited numerous examples of identical phrasing.
Several samples will suffice:
Mr. Podhoretz: “So much was the same, I experienced déjà vu of the ‘I know I’ve heard that before’ kind.
“Example: ‘This isn’t class warfare,’ Obama said [Monday] of the need for tax hikes. ‘This is math’…
“On Sept. 8, Obama used exactly the same words plus one: ‘This isn’t class warfare. This is simple math.’
“The déjà vu began with the very first lines. On Sept. 8, he kicked off with ‘Tonight we meet at an urgent time for our country.’ [Monday] morning: ‘This continues to be a time of challenge for our country.’
“On Sept. 8, he moved to the plight of ‘millions of Americans’ who ‘grew up with faith in an America where hard work and responsibility paid off. They believed in a country where everyone gets a fair share and does their faire share.’
“[Monday:] ‘These men and women grew up in an America where hard work and responsibility paid off. They believed in a country where everyone gets a fair shake and does their fair share.’”
Swishy plagiarized himself right down to the faulty grammar, which is one concept he has conquered, embarrassingly poor grammar. He plainly does not know better.
Swish will tell you — he gives “exclusive” interviews to anyone who asks — that his favorite newspaper and chief media toady is The New York Times, once a serious enterprise that reported the news reliably.
Their reporting — not to be confused with their commentaries, although the Times” journalists and their Angry Left readers do — has become so lopsidedly left that the Wall Street Journal, a beacon of objectivity that once was a stodgy organ, drowns out the Angry Times in daily circulation. The Angry Times is a dismal third.
