elfsOmaha sent me on an errand to fetch her some ice cream. In the brief trip, I tuned the radio around the dial and found Mark Levin, listening to the president's address to the nation, MST3K style. President Obama launched into a talk about gulf coast shrimping, and Levin said, "Shrimping. Who could he be talking about? Probably Robert Reich."
No, dear. Our president is talking about an important economic activity. Levin, on the other hand, was probably getting stiff thinking about Dick Morris.
(If you don't want to follow the link: Back in the 90's, Morris was a Democratic campaign advisor to then-President Clinton. Morris was busted during the second campaign for hiring a prostitute, and somewhere in the proceedings it came out that Morris liked to suck on her toes, an activity known as "shrimping.")
As for the subject, hey, I'm just asking.
(Morris is a contributor to Fox news, which has mastered the art of putting out highly antagonistic memes by saying "Hey, I'm just asking." A few hours later, during the "News" segments, a talking head will say "Some people are wondering..." By the end of the 24 hour news cycle other sites with less journalistic integrity and lower risk have started to embellish on the meme.)
