Liberal Talk Radio

I occasionally dig on Christian-Coalitioner-turned-centrist-progressive Marshall Whitman’s Bull Moose Blog. But digging around in his archives I came across this post. I don’t think I can ever read the guy again.

And the Moose is big fan of Toby Keith, who may be a good role model for Democrats who are struggling to reach Red State America…

…If Toby had opened the ‘04 Democratic Convention with “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue”, old John Kerry would likely occupy the Oval Office. Democrats - say no to Michael Moore and yes to Toby Keith!

Ugh. Never. You suck, dude. Let’s review the lyrics to that country gem, shall we?

Oh, Justice will be served and the battle will rage.
This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage
You’ll be sorry that you messed with the US of A
‘Cuz we’ll put a boot in your ass
It’s the American way.

Ahh, jingoism. Not that it doesn’t have its time and place, but for some reason I’m suddenly reminded of Denis Leary’s famous bit from No Cure for Cancer:

“That was the ultimate American dream for me during that Persian Gulf War. I was sitting in my living room naked, with a can of Budweiser and a three inch steak watching the war live on TV. I had a six foot erection with a giant cheeseburger on the end of it.”

Anyway, that’s all a long way of saying I’m pretty tired of this moose guy and his antics.
