Comments on: Hope floats http://tbogg.firedoglake.com/2008/08/04/hope-floats/ "...a somewhat popular blogger" Mon, 30 Nov 2009 03:00:03 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: makeitstop http://tbogg.firedoglake.com/2008/08/04/hope-floats/comment-page-1/#comment-13358 makeitstop Tue, 05 Aug 2008 16:06:27 +0000 http://tbogg.firedoglake.com/2008/08/04/hope-floats/#comment-13358 <p>I wonder if the mockathon over tire pressure will have that much effect. Most of us reg’lr folk have to check our own tire pressure (or have grease monkey, etc do it) and then pay to adjust it; the press just lets the little people take care of that for them. After all, it would be unseemly to have a fellow in a $1,000 suit crawling around the wheel wells of the limo, would it not?</p> I wonder if the mockathon over tire pressure will have that much effect.

And I’m including myself in that category. They turn everything upside down in a way that is unbelievable. And, let’s face it, McCain is very mockable. Why aren’t we doing it?</p> <p>Oh, and btw, I’m not a troll, as some said the other night (after my misguided attempt at humor).</p> Why are the repubs so much better at mocking than the dems.

The press have all seized on it and decided Obama’s energy policy is a laughingstock. And remember, last election they managed to use this technique to get Americans to laugh at a decorated war hero’s wounds. People will be happy to jump on the ridicule train to show how cool they are, even if they’re ridiculing themselves and their own sacred cows.</p> The sad thing is, I bet this tactic works.
