Bond in Bankruptcy ... Mark Steyn

For some reason, the quadrennial humiliation of the Republican presidential candidate now coincides with the release of the new Bond movie. Don't ask me why; probably a constitutional amendment I missed along the way. Last time round, Kevin Sessums interviewed Daniel Craig and, as a final question, asked which presidential nominee would make the better 007:

Craig doesn't hesitate. "Obama would be the better Bond because — if he's true to his word — he'd be willing to quite literally look the enemy in the eye and go toe to toe with them. McCain, because of his long service and experience, would probably be a better M," he adds, mentioning Bond's boss, played by Dame Judi Dench. "There is, come to think of it, a kind of Judi Dench quality to McCain."

A few readers may recall my response in this very space four years ago:

Oh, great. John McCain has survived plane crashes, just like Roger Moore in Octopussy. He has escaped death in shipboard infernos, just like Sean Connery in Thunderball. He has endured torture day after day, month after month, without end, just like Pierce Brosnan in the title sequence of Die Another Day. He has done everything 007 has done except get lowered into a shark tank and (as far as we know) bed Britt Ekland and Jill St. John.

For much of the electorate, politics is now tribal. I don't just mean the 93 percent of blacks and 71 percent of Hispanics who voted for Obama, but various other demographic niches, from impoverished single women to upscale gays. If you know whether someone's black or lesbian or a college professor, you can guess how they vote and be right nine times out of ten. They are beyond questions of economic or foreign policy: Their self-identification trumps politics.

True, Steyn nails it!

Trying to pretend that we can get their vote by 'appealing' to their particular dogma is self-delusion.

Steyn ping. A classic. GOP take note. This is a battle for the culture and we aren’t even in the game.

For much of the electorate, politics is now tribal.

And now we learn that one of the most influential affiliations is the "unchurched".

Really? I thought that Benghazi-Coward B. Hussein Obama failed his test of courage and loyalty during the Benghazi Massacre.

In real life, al-Qaeda could not have a better friend than requiter, Benghazi-Coward B. Hussein Obama.

And in the long run they might have done rather better had they used the dough to start a movie studio or buy a TV network.

Maybe that's not such a bad idea.

Or start a first-class university teaching useful subjects (no queer or womyns studies majors) with professors who actually like this country.

Was going to see the latest Bond flic, but after learning that Danial Cretin has the mind of an idiot (apparently mandatory for acting these days), he can shove his movie up his smelly Obama.

Craig is the worst bond ever.

They call him james blond for a reason.

[BobL]

Nothing about Bond’s ‘evolving’ sexual orientation, I see.

Yet in statewide races, Republicans are still winning big victories. If Michigan can elect an all (R) government, then this country is not as far gone as we think. I just don’t get it.

Prissy Daniel Craig believes queer is gutsy. He equates sodomy with bravery. Personality disorders inherent in the homosexual life style are legion and legendary.
When we finally get around to reclaiming morality we will see the absurd stupidity of believing that swishy is smart and sassy is wise.
The Hollywood boys have given us what we crave, a boy loving Bond. Wait for it.

[longtermmemmory]

has he said anything about the homosexuals? or he is one?

I know he has said guns scary and he had never used one before bond. He also does not know how to drive stick shift.

[onedoug]

On second thought....

Salvation may come from the bottom up.

All I needed to hear is his claim that Obama would go eye to eye with global bad guys. Queer eye, maybe. Obama could never stand upright in the face of someone who might slap him sideways. He is the ultimate metro queer, full of prancy bluff with not an inkling of moral courage.
