[Politics] A Wishful Premonition

[digitaldiscipline]

At some point during the live, televised debates, I would love it if Obama would just put his hands on the lectern, turn to face McCain, and say, "John, cut the bullshit."

That phrase, verbatim?

For all the faux umbrage about so-and-so being out of touch or whatever, the complete dispensation with high-minded rhetoric that phrase would embody... so, so fucking worth it.

The applause would bring the house down.

I'd like to cover the indignant gasps with about 6' of soil. I find "their" notion of obscenity obscene. If only I could gasp indignantly enough at the obscenity of war-for-profit, Wall St bailouts, standard-issue American ignorance and the legislation of religiously derived morals!

More with callin' bullshit and less with the bullshit!

Six feet of soil?

I'll see your soil and raise you concrete.

I much prefer about 10' of quicksand, some rope, and a large supply of cinder blocks.

Yes, please...with rebar?

Even better:
"Nigga please!"

...though infinitely less likely, but magnitudes funnier (IMHO, of course)
