Malignant Liberal Idiocy

Celebrity libiots like those that whine on a regular basis at Huffington Post originally inspired me to start this particular blog. Steven Weber, John Cusack, and Alec Baldwin are all actors whose work I have enjoyed in the past. Of course being liberal, acting talent automatically (just like the ability to sing) equates to a heightened understanding of the real world and policy. I mean, how could a fantasy based, life of luxury not lead to a flawlessly crystal clear understanding of the world?

The biggest of these celebrity libiots (measured in pounds) would have to be father of the year candidate Alec Baldwin. Alec took a few moments away from calling his daughter a pig to write an important piece, “The Importance of Electing Al Franken.”

Voters of Minnesota, your choice could not be simpler. Coleman is a pathetic hack who will do as little as possible in a US Senate office other than cover his own ass and protect his power. Meanwhile, Al Franken is everything you could hope for in a candidate to represent your state in the world’s most august deliberative body. Smart, caring, brave. That’s the choice. Mitt Romney light. Or a return to someone special in the US Senate from the great state of Minnesota.

“Doggone it, people like me!” Alec didn’t mention Stuart’s failure to provide worker’s compensation insurance for his employees, nor did he discuss Stuart’s sticky tax issues. The important issues are much more shallow! Al Franken is a celebrity and therefore, highly intelligent and qualified! His status as a celebrity libiot is enough to overcome his apparent propensity for being duped by accountants (as all his problems stem from bad accountant advice) and enable him to accomplish the work of Minnesota in the Senate.

As an aside, I must point out the typical libiot hypocrisy of labor unions supporting anti-worker candidates is also at work in Franken’s case. Why should labor unions care that Franken avoided worker’s comp. for his employees when he meets all relevant criteria? He is a Democrat and he used to be on TV!

Back to the super-sized star of  “30 Rock.” Maybe Tina Fey has told Alec that Franken has always been playing a character and therefore there could be actual substance there, hidden way down deep. Another possibility is that Alec likes the strength Franken shows by shouting “Liar” over and over at those with whom he disagrees. That type of courage would undoubtedly be awe-inspiring to an excuse for a man who usually reserves screaming and bullying for his eleven year old daughter.
