why" good" asses aren't enough


 i know this jack ass

he's a pompous prick 


but he serves  my point 


he's a perfect example
of 
a compassion and justice hack 

=================================


regular column hog
   bob klubner
   writes this in the globe
                       3/16/05

"People understand what Bush is up to
 So why are Democrats failing 
to turn this into a winning politics? "

----------he gives Five reasons----------

 First reason 

 " dozens of Democratic legislators 
vote with Bush
 usually to curry favor 
with organized corporate business interests 
that write 
         these bills 
              (and campaign checks)

 Eighteen Senate Dems
 even voted for the bankruptcy bill

 This blurs the distinction 
between the parties
 and 
leaves the impression 
that Democrats don't know 
what they stand for

 Nobody wants to follow a wimp"

  ----------------- read this over a few times

where's the proper fury

the  " ladies and gents
        we're gettin skunked.... "

the " in my hand today
I hold  a  lynch rope.... "

obviously this arm chair quarterback
has been at it too  long

been so right
and so beaten
          so many times....

sure
he still
  flaps  his gums the same old way

 over and over again

but 
without making even the slightest dent
                              on anyone 

 sure he's 
  talked back to power
but fuck

power 
hasn't given
even  
one shit back
                 for all of it.....

somewhere along the line
he musta  figured out .....

he's  a useless lap dog

he  barks loudly

 at every  ring of the  door bell

but 
 deters  absolutely no one.....

cause he's 
          harmless as a bed slipper 

guys like him
can only stay  at 
their mission 
 long enough to go stale 
 if 
they love 
the sound of their own bark
           more then 
       just about   anyhing else on earth
 
problem:


after a while
        that 
    "my shit don't stink"
            self love 

 shows up thru  the prose

cause sooner or later
  these guys  grow
 a  professional callous
as big as the ritz

all around  their bleeding hearts-------------------


-------------  and why not
hell
who's  got  anything  to lose here 

klutzner
 can act
 like a crusading lawyer

"doin up"
        a few
  pro  bono s
   on the partnership's tab


" shit its my fucking
 innocent ass hole clients...
  they're the only  ones 
          with something  "real"
                      to gain or lose here
                               certainly not me " -------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------
 Second  reason 

" center-right Democrats
 urge their party 
to avoid populism 

But sticking up for 
the economic interests 
of ordinary people
 is not populist 
in the sense of class warfare"

--------------

"in the sense of klass warfare  "

what bathetic  dribble  

and he claims
   the goldcrats are wimps 

who's really a wimp?

the soft touch wall street apologist

or
you
  and your ilk bozo?

you be dah  wimp bro

in fact
a  wimp -a -doodle -doo   


by the way

why shy  of the klass warrior  label?
                       
                   jesus mary and joseph
 that alone 
proves
 you can be pushed around
      proves 
you are 
  totally impotent ----------------



" sticking up for 
the economic interests 
of ordinary people
 is the essence 
of what once made Democrats 
the majority party"

----ya but the new dealers
did it
  with "klass war" hammer and tongs
  sure it was mostly just spear shakes
sure it was  logomachia mon amour 
 
but 
the dealers
  waltzed home 
           on that  klass war label.....

FDR WAS  AFTER ALL 

"AMERIKA'S  BIGGEST  KLASS TRAITOR"  ----------------


" Nor is it antibusiness  
to defend a fair tax system
 adequate social outlays
 and regulation 
to protect consumers and investors"

---------god FENDING OFF THE ANTI BIZ STICKER TOO

by the way
what a cloud of a word" biz" is 

is it antibiz
to be 
anti 
  big corporation ?

how 'bout it 
mister toothless 
        master    colummn bater --------------------


Third reason

" Bush is a master propagandist
 with tame or intimidated media 
eating out of his hand
 while the supposedly liberal press
 bends over backward to be evenhanded".

-----------oh god
now we're   up against an ajax

 ...and the media
   as refs 
shit 
their in the water with the whitehouse..

please spare us the  lilly pond excuses

  if  we're   just a bunch of rubber mats
                   with  big mouths 
                  
           we oughta  get walked over 
      

-----------------

 Fourth reason


 "the cultural conservatism 
of many moderate-income Americans 
attracts them to Republicans 
 who don't serve 
their economic interests"

----------- okay
so culture trumps the lunch bucket -------------- 



" but cultural moderation 
will not save the souls 
of Democrats "

------------- whats this
                  he's debunking ?


a DLC jack ass strategy 
              of 
hiding the gays and  gangsta spades 

WHY NOT?


well because of 
           klubners law
                  of self sabotage self righteousness

when it comes to
 super vote killer stuff

stand tall 
and take yer beating

cause 
if u stand by yer stands

when you gotta 
stand by yer stands 

you'll get yer reward 
in   goo goo heaven ----------------


" unless they start delivering 
the goods economically"

---------- notice the twisted hulk of sense
                                       here

 sure he's got the point  right 

isn't 
                  it  obvious 

his job is to pump it

find a jingle for it 

instead


 he shivers its timbers

makes it so splintered

  it comes off 
         without  impact

is he afraid 
of  being effective 

is that unprofessional ? ?

or 
is it 
 his bad faith?

whats 
causing so much hidden  torque?

perhaps 
a few  dirty secrets ?
 
 personal "editorial" compromises?
or 
some  other
             midnight  panderings   
perhaps 


 that kinda hidden  crap
is everywhere 


whatever it is
              makes him pull his punch 

whatever  
           twists his message 
                             off hard  kilter 
whatever
 repressive forces
   are making
          the  surface 
                  of his columns 
                   so fucking
                       dull bland 
                          and   blunt of affect
whatever it is dat do d'it 

it sure am happening every time 

 ---------------------------------------------------
p.s.
 i suspect 

 despite being  "kool with his niche"

 the hidden  torque 
comes from a resentment 
 
the obligatory    
 cow tow to the masses

 what 
      a  maddening mushing up
  it must be 
         
  to be "required"
to go easy


if a "progressive"like
              gentleman kutz here
hopes
 to get his wares bought
          by
"  all them fuckin
        pleb rubes out there
           filled with
     "  suspicions
      and dark ignorance"
he must
" water down the lightening "

 but i digress......
------------------------------------- 
reason five


"Finally
 there's a war on
 and people generally support
 a wartime president"

--------------- 
  what war ?

the  terror war ?

the occupation war ?

hey
envy that war time type support?

want war time type 
support ?

start one of your own
 

how about 
  a war on profiteers ?

sorta a nasty 
upside down klasss forward 
version  
 of lbj's more nebulous
and easily racialized 
                 war on poverty-

oh but thats klass war ain't it

to be solemnly avoided ---------------


------ 

 pink's
       final 
 rebutt hole:


 only  a single
   real big  point....

its   soft bread 
               Democrats gone stale
                         like 
                       this here klubner guy  
 
          not the   george wallaces
                   or  the jesse jacksons  
  that  got the demos 
       into this stink pot  

yaaaah baby

its them and them alone 

the petty klass 
                merit strivers
 
they be dah ones 
who let 
these  wall streeters
                    run their  show   
                                      from the sky boxes 

-------------------------------------------------------
           they    let this happpen


                the insider  cadre 
                               rep-ing 
                                             "big profit"
                            
   
                    the fuckin cadre of the fuckin  DLC

these Magoo progressives
                              let the DLC types
                                   " blow " every last 
                                           gold donorcrat's winky  
                these   well meaners
 let the DLC ERS 
                  lead
   the   party down 
       the 20  year road
                  to perminent minority status  


of course would 
they still be able to think of themselves
                  as decent well meaners 

if they called 
for say

rubin rubin's  ritual castration ?
                                 ------------
