Crashing A Trashy House

What’s another couple of malfeasants at the Obama home?

The excerpt is from my new WND.COM column, “Crashing A Trashy House”:

“It took a little over a week. In no time at all, Congress convened to hold hearings into an event that has left Americans – or the few remaining souls not cyber stalking Tiger Woods – deeply shaken.

And no, the ‘dreadfuf’ event I am talking about is not the massacre perpetrated by the jihadi, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, at Fort Hood, where 43 military personnel paid a cruel price for the criminal negligence of their superiors.

No one will be convening on Capitol Hill to hear who was culpable for that savagery. Not any time soon.

The investigation into the killing of 13 soldiers and the wounding of 30 by the Muslim serviceman who was coddled by the military and intelligence establishments has been consigned to a commission of inquiry that will, indubitably, exercise great political dexterity in killing accountability. For now, Hasan has been airbrushed out of the story.

The hearings ongoing at the time of writing will probe a far more urgent matter than mass murder on a military base by a fifth columnist.

As I write, The House Homeland Security Committee is investigating the infiltration of the White House by Tareq and Michaele Salahi. The two reality TV ‘stars’ had crashed – or livened up – President Obama’s first White House state dinner on Tuesday, Nov. 24. By Thursday, Dec. 3, our generally dysfunctional representatives and their proxies had summonsed the players in that farce to an inquisition on The Hill. …

Crashing The Trash House

Barack Obama, Celebrity, Etiquette, Pop-Culture

TRASH people crash the White House. So what? The place is packed with nasty, noisome parasites. An extra pair makes no difference. At least not to me. Therefore, I’m unexercised by the specter of Tareq and Michaele Salahi frolicking with Rham, Barack, and Biden. There’s something apropos in a couple of reality-show exhibitionists brazenly elbowing their way uninvited into a party of ponces.

This is a party thrown by a president who was launched by the Queen of Kitsch (Oprah). This is the place where Bono came to petition Bush for loot. Before him, Clinton used the space for his nefarious dealings. All in all, from the White House are issued shake-down schemes that make Bernie Madoff look like “a mere babe in grand larceny boot camp.” So it’s entirely fitting that a nation of reality-show viewers should have representatives at the Trash House who themselves “have left an extensive paper trail in federal bankruptcy and state court filings.”

You get the drift: the White House has long since lost the dignity of the office. Trash people crashing a party there completes the picture.

As for security: The president has very few real risks; the huffing and puffing over the alleged danger he was exposed to is just that: a whole lot of hooey.

What you can be sure of is that heads will role over this faux paux. The responsible parties will be made to fall on their swords way faster than will the cogs in the military machine who facilitated the eventual death of 13 servicemen and women at Fort Hood, at the hand of the jihadi Major Nidal Hasan.

Nobody Bows Like Barack

Barack Obama, Etiquette, Foreign Policy

Not the Queen of Sweden, not Dick Cheney, not Vaclav Klaus of the Czech Republic, not the President of Indonesia, not Hamid Karzai, and not the King of Thailand. Mo # VI (King of Morocco) resisted the urge, Vladimir Putin did, as did the Chiracs of France; the President of Algeria, King Kyrgyzstand, and Vincente Fox: They all managed to remain erect on meeting the heavenly Japanese Emperor Akihito. All but Obama, who collapsed like an awe-struck yogi.

Onward & Downward The Blond Squad

As was said over these pixelated pages, “brains are a hindrance to advancement in the age of the idiot; being a lightweight blond is helpful.” The blond squad is everywhere in American politics. Not even the libertarian faction—my own—has spared us the specter of a dime-a-dozen dames. Dumbing down is to the detriment of all.

Watch this clip of the cretin Carrie Prejean lord it over Larry King (who, I must say, behaves demurely and perfectly politely).

Can you say pretentious, plastic cow?

Whoopee Goldberg is correct. Here’s another empty head, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, defending the trail-blazing Prejean.
