How Barack Knocked the Satire Out of Me (Christopher Buckley- Obama Beyond Criticism)

The Daily Beast ^ | Christopher Buckley

[Question Liberal Authority]

I’m pretty sure I agree with you, but I’ve never been able to listen to Obama for more than 15 seconds to find out.

[FredZarguna]

The very zenith of jejunosity. Or would that be nadir? Christo, the living embodiment of every argument in favor of a crushing inheritance tax. The very proof that DNA recombines randomly in the sexual process. Ah Christo. You suck as a writer. You suck as a satirist. You suck as a human being.

You suck.

What more is there to say?

[Jean S]

Were you so desperate to post something on FR today that you had to post this crap?
Shame on you.

[Volunteer]

Dear Christopher -

Suck it.

PS - Thank God your Father did have to read this or see you support a Chicago democrat.

You make me—this is absurd, my eyes are watering—proud to be an American

Yuck. What a ding-dong.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Sheesh! The Bolsheviks left this asshole on the Buckley doorstep in a basket. He can’t be flesh of William F. Buckley’s flesh.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Beyond criticism?
There can be problems mixing dexedrine with Jim Beam.

You make me—this is absurd, my eyes are watering—proud to be an American

I'm already so sick of this kind of crap. I was and am proud to be an American before the Obama administration, I will be proud to be an American during the Obama administration, and I will be proud to be an American after the Obama administration. If Christopher Buckley doesn't understand that pride in country has nothing to do with support of the inhabitant of the White House, then he never understood conservatism to begin with.

We are so much better off without Christopher Buckley on our side.

[nickcarraway]

I apologize to you. I posted it because Buckley has been the subject of much discussion and because he is intimating, in a way, that Obama is above criticism.

[warsaw44]

Just another privileged white man who was raised with money, never had to work too hard at anything, always secure in his future and drowning in a sense of guilt.

[Jean S]

I apologize. This is garbage but you don’t have a reputation for posting garbage on FR.
I am just so darn frustrated, your thread happened to be the last straw for me.

[nickcarraway]

I understand. I think we will have to develop immunity, because we will be swimming in it for a long time.

[KarlInOhio]

Christopher [last name revoked for idiocy]: You are a walking, talking argument for a 100% death tax. I would rather your father's money had been given a Viking funeral than be wasted on you. Go away and never darken the door of civilized society again.

[Jean S]

we will have to develop immunity

It's going to take me a while.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Was it a head injury in a skiing accident or did the cigarette that singed his optic nerve enter the temporal lobe of his brain and scald that as well?

[patriot preacher]

Christopher Buckley?!

Who’s he?

Obviously NO relation to the late William F. Buckley, Jr. Bill would be spinning in his grave!

The kid would have to be a total ingrate.

WHy am I reading this PRETENDER on FR??

[nickcarraway]

When you do, let me know your secret.

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

I believe that he was smoking while skiing. He slammed into a tree, forcing a cigarette into his brain, effectively smoking his gray matter like a ham.

Just shows to go ya, don’t smoke and ski.

"I shall immediately begin fault-finding.Within a week of Bill Clinton’s win in 1992, the excellent Dave Barry began referring to “the failed Clinton administration.” So it shall be with me.."

Good Idea. I'll be the first.

With the selection of Chief of Staff (contradicting promises to be a "unifier"), it's already a failed Obama administration.

That felt good. I'll try to repeat it. Often. (Hey, who's knocking on the door - at this late hour?)

[Mitt Romney]

" Am I crazy?"

No, you're not crazy. It is just a matter of time before others see what you are already seeing. I'm guessing many that voted for him never saw him in an unscripted situation. That is really where is exposed for what he really is.
