Viewer only context…

The only context that matters is that of the viewer – imagination is the only limit to what nefarious aspects a MAL can see in an anti-Obama image….

I went on the Bob Herbert NYT website and again on moron Gergen’s website to remind them how utterly ignorant they are. Herbert has to be an affirmative action hire for the gray rag. ON second thought most of their writers are light on fact and heavy on stupid. Gergen was given the post about the 2005 quote by Barry about PAris and I asked him if this was Chicago code for “uppity!”

Bob Herbert should have been talking with Dick Cheney. He’d tell Bob that not since President Johnson has there been such a new direction in subliminal manipulation. What woody do if he saw such behavior from Obama’s chief of staff? Willie respond appropriately or like like a ding-dong.

Really though. Nothing subliminal going on around here.

Which photo? I don’t know about that, but I suspect that from now on when ever someone says ‘Bob Herbert’ we’ll all immediately think ‘Dick Herbert’.

Hey Herbert, if you’re looking for phallic symbols go to San Fransisco, Speaker Pelosi’s district. Zombietime has photos that are right up your alley.

NOTE: Do not go there folks, this is not a tease, do not go there, this is a warning.

So which zombiephoto is Herbert in?

So, the question remains:

Why did Obama choose to give a speech in front of a phallic symbol like the Victory Column?
