The Great Communicators
I was so confident that no one would get this, I was willing to put up my own hard earned dollars.
For those of you who don’t know, I ran a contest on my blog offering the first person who correctly guessed the answer to the only question in the contest either a $25 Amazon.com gift card or a year’s subscription to The Limbaugh Letter. No one came close to the right answer.
Googling wouldn’t have helped either. There was only one news story that came up under a query that should have yielded hundreds of redundant stories about this issue. The competition question is as follows:
What is the significance of today, April 10, 2009 in American politics?
I’ll give you a hint. Googling Julio Osegueda on news.google.com only came up with one story. I saved the link from two months ago about this news item. Still don’t know? Give up?The answer is tonight, Julio Osegueda, someone Supreme Dictator for Life His Royal Majesty Lord Barack Obama The Most Merciful said has “good communication skills” is to be the color commentator for the Fort Myers Miracle’s first home game.
But no one seems to care.
Sixty days ago, Julio Osegueda captivated the nation, despite not being able to form a complete thought and ask an intelligent question. Barry’s answer wasn’t any better. Yes he sounded polished, but that’s just “lipstick on a pig.” (Remember that catchy phrase from the campaign?) So where are all the stories about this great communicator now? As far as I can tell, there have been zero (0) stories about tonight’s color commentary. Hell, it doesn’t even look like the Miracle’s website is promoting Osegueda.
I wonder if Osegueda feels used. Probably not. He’d have to first be aware that was being used. Too bad he’s to dumb to not know.
Julio, if you’re reading this let me tell you something pal: No one cares about you now that you’re not standing in the same room as The Messiah.
For additional yucks, I’m including the Youtube video of Julio Osegueda’s Q&A with Barry along with a 7:36 montage of Barry stuttering through a 41 minute speech. No “uh”s were repeated.

OH, here it is. Yeah, no way I would’ve gotten that. Glenn Beck did a whole thing comparing Obama to the way nations reacted to Mussolini and Hitler, but he didn’t mention this guy. That’s an interesting tidbit. I’ll have to come back and watch the videos when I’m finally done with my paper. This has been interesting. You should do these contests more often. Except not on days when I have major homework due!
@DirtyAndShaken – The President can multi-task. Why can’t you?
Yeah, I could probably do homework and fuck up a country at the same time if I put my mind to it…
@DirtyAndShaken – That’s the style, Lou!
Yeah… I wasn’t thinking along those lines
@firetyger – Just another, “See, I told you so!”
That poor sad guy. All the people who seem to think the new president is anything other and just another politician are sad.
@trunthepaige – What about Julio?
@trunthepaige – I wonder if Julio is a House fan. Maybe he can get to meet Kal Penn. Then he’ll really cream himself.
@ProfessorTom - With that much passion for the man. He is going to need a mental health professional, before this administration is through screwing things up
Hey, got a question for you. Okay, so we’re preparing for the tea party Wednesday. We are putting the Gadsden Flag logos on the back of our shirts, but I need something snarky to put on the front. Yes, we are exploiting our unborn child in the name of protest. The only thing anyone has come up with so far is something like “My baby’s baby will be born in debt” or “My baby thanks you for the debt”. You have any good ideas? You seem pretty good at tshirt ideas : )
@DirtyAndShaken – How ’bout “My baby is Obama’s slave”?
HOPE. CHANGE!
Obama. Obama. Obama. Obama.
