What Do Barack Obama and Levi Johnston Have in Common? Gregory of Yardale
Saw this item about how Levi Johnston has become a gay icon about the same time I saw Van's Merry Hunter's post about Tiger Woods and Barack Obama, and something clicked. Both of these guys have an awful lot in common in terms of being celebrated by the progressive left, and in the reasons for which they are celebrated:
1. Both are celebrated by the progressive left despite a conspicuous lack of real accomplishments.
2. Barack Obama was abandoned by his father, Levi Johnston abandoned his son. It all gets back to the leftist celebration of sex as a consequence-free recreational activity: The progressive left seems to love men who ditch their kids.
3. Barack Obama would rather shoot hoops or play golf than deal with his responsibilities. Levi Johnston would rather play hockey and pose for Playgirl than be a responsible father.
4. Both of them were taken in by leftist radicals at a young age: Obama with Frank Marshall Davis, Bill Ayers, and Jeremiah Wright; Levi Johnston by the mainstream media and the trash of Hollywood.
5. Both are ridiculously hyped by the mainstream media far beyond their actual merits.
6. Addled dingbats Joy Behar and Andrew "Milky Loads" Sullivan are infatuated with both of them.
7. Both of them are self-involved narcissists in love with their own images.
8. Both of them are convinced they are much more clever than they really are.
9. Neither one of them knows squat about economics,job creation, or running a business.
10. Most of America is sick to death of hearing about either of them.
Of course, there is one critical difference. Levi Johnston may be a sleazy, amoral, airhead with a pretty face... but at least he's not a pretty, sleazy, amoral airhead who's bankrupting the country, gutting the military, and taking away our basic freedoms. (Yes, lefties... health care regulation, cap and trade, and card check will take away basic freedoms.)
