MANHATTAN TERRORIZED AGAIN

o you remember?

nfliction of panic, by cluelessness. It was a case of mass cluelessness-boarding, using ineptitude rather than water on the face to trigger the panic reflex. (Would it also be: 10 seconds of panic application can count as "one instance", as it is with the water?)

Was it torture? Inadvertent torture? They're off the hook because they didn't mean to? The irony is thick on this one.

It's as though there are fraternity boys doing things on their own — for nobody to have said, "Wait a minute, this isn't such a good idea." ? — but it's hard to imagine someone this clueless. Too young to remember? It reminds me of the frat-boy Obama speech-writer performing suggestive acts on a lifesize Hillary Clinton cutout. Whose words yet grace the screen of TOTUS.

Barack is mad about this, and he'd better be. Most people don't forget.

But someone will fall on a sword, the buck will stop well away from Truman's "here", and the networks will now double down on their swine flue fever. Wasn't induced fright on this scale very newsworthy when Orson Welles did it for "War of the Worlds"?



AllahPundit:

Not a day has passed in seven-plus years, I think, that an airplane has flown low enough overhead that I could hear it, even just barely, and I didn’t look up.

Some of the die-hard followers, who really do view Obama as a conquering messiah rather than a politician, are panicking. It's only one bozo, I know, but here's the opening of one commenter's missive upon a Wall Street Journal report.

All you banksters are hilarious.

Here’s what actually happened.

Some of your bosses have been trying to play hardball with Obama.

They — and you — just got a wakeup call: a friendly reminder who wears the pants around here, and who HOPES they can find a CHANGE of pants right about now.

He seems to follow a vengeful mafia messiah of the imagination, and has even more to say about the "last banksters still standing". For people like this, it's two opposing teams, "banksters" and "hopechange" in this case. The people who got shocked into panic are the former, and he's on the latter team. It's competing teams, like in sports, and "We Won! Eat It!"

Which is an attitude often found in frat-boy-ism, too, I think. Guys like that forget too easy. Gibbsy, and Janet the wingnut-huntress, were struck practically speechless — "I... I... I don't know..." (Gibbs starting 1:45 at the link).

A big hit on the "country" music scene a few years ago was "Have You Forgotten", and it makes people like me get excited and punch up into the air. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_-x9kMPauc

Obummer has forgotten. Actually, I don't think he ever cared that much. Here he is, being incompetent and inconsiderate, just to get pictures. And more incompetence because the staff didn't know what was happening. Losers!

Thanks SB, your video sounds like something I'd be interested in. Unfortunately YouTube thinks that people in 'my country' shouldn't see it.

So I tried it through the UltraSurf utility (one of the solutions most recommended for PRC users to get around their national firewall, it uses constantly changing proxy servers). It usually works great but YouTube still says I'm in the wrong country to see it!

Dang.

OK, I found some different versions that I'm allowed to view. Darryl Worley & band playing it outside the Pentagon in 2003, great.

Forgetting is not allowed. Even if, as he sings, "they took all the footage off my tv, said it's too disturbing for you and me..."

Forgetting will not be allowed.
