I rubbed all over him, or rather him all over me, or… well something like that.
I volunteered today for the Hackett for Congress campaign. We left Columbus in Bill Clinton’s ’96 Campaign bus. So I got in the seat that was rumored to be his favorite (up front next to the driver) and sat in it and rubbed my ass into that plastic pleather. I rubbed my ass on the place Bill Clinton put his ass which kind-of means I rubbed all over him. Right? Maybe I am even carrying Bill Clinton’s love child?
Some people get crushes on movie stars or musicians or athletes…oh wait I get crushes on all of those too… plus I get crushes on politicians! You know Bill Clinton, Barak Obama, Bill Richardson, John Glenn, Mike Coleman, oh and did I mention Barak “I want you to father my children” Obama?
On almost of an equally disturbing thought, I found out today that people take bloggers way too seriously. Multiple times today I heard politically active people talking about how “The Blogs” had been writing about Hackett, or how “hopefully the blogs will pick this up”, or “did you see the blogs have been writing about Hackett?” Some even argued that the DCCC was waiting for blog interest before investing in the Hackett campaign. First off I doubt that is true. Secondly, if it were true that would be sad. Thirdly, why do people put so much on bloggers?
I’ve been in commutation via email with a lot of Ohio-Political bloggers they put their pants on one leg at a time. Canvassers were talking about bloggers as if they were this powerful and mystical form of journalists who are the driving force behind GOTV and money. I find it all absurd.
(The political Ohio blogs I read.)
I rode that bus too, why didn’t I feel any of the Clinton spirit? Well actually, I did…a little bit differnt though…hmmm. That will be my Clintonesque secret.
