Teddy Partridge commented on the blog post Robbed of the ability to celebrate the President’s statement on marriage equality
Oh, Pam — you are the first person I thought of (on my sabbatical) today, feeling exactly the 1-2 punch of emotions from Election Day 2008. As Rachel Maddow told her clueless fellow correspondents when MSNBC showed the scene in the Castro from a helicopter on Election Night, “I don’t think all those people are celebrating the election of Barack Obama; it’s likely that’s a protest over tonight’s Prop 8 vote.”
We’re not mainstream; our unions aren’t loved; our families aren’t legit. Until we decide to be revolutionaries for love, refusing to participate in the straight-normative world, living in our ghettos and carving out happy but minimally-permitted lives, withdrawing our services, our art, our cultural contributions, and our CASH — we won’t be respected or sought-after.
Barack Obama’s insulting response to North Carolina’s vote is awful. Nothing he did could more vividly illustrate his contempt for our love than his mid-day “soft” reveal to Robin Roberts, wedged as it was (well-put by the Washington Post) between Tim Gunn’s “stinky cheese” interview of a celebrity trainer and “General Hospital.”
Keep on as best you can, lady. Love Kate well and fully, live your life completely and utterly — but don’t expect any handouts from the patriarchy: they despise us.

Teddy Partridge commented on the blog post Santorum Suspends Presidential Campaign
I see from your Twits that “suspended” means “still able to raise money.” Is Santorum’s campaign in debt? Or has he other plans for that money? I expect him to mount a campaign to head the RNC should Mitt fail to be elected President.

It will be interesting to see how May primaries play out, though, despite an actual campaign being waged. Aren’t they expected to be bad territory for Romney?

No more smearing Santorum, I suppose….

Teddy Partridge commented on the blog post Doing My Taxes Like Paul Ryan Does his “Budget”
But you, Jon, are not judged “brave” or “courageous” for your vague, nonsensical tax return, as Paul Ryan is for stealing from poor, old, and young people to enhance the stupendous wealth of his sponsors.

White people are so lucky.
If it had been a black person with his bike strapped to the back of his car, his car woulda been stolen.

Well, we can’t leave him to do all the heavy lifting, now can we?
Besides, I’ve no exclusive on it, so tip him off. Let’s see what he can do with it. No doubt better than I.

Teddy Partridge commented on the blog post Obama Campaign: the President does not support the Minnesota marriage discrimination amendment
This is great as far as it goes, but The President needs to understand that identical statements that reference his past opposition to previous divisive amendments, issued by state-level spokespeople for the re-election campaign, are not enough.
Obama needs to find a time and a place in the White House, and make a stand. Americans everywhere are waiting for him to speak out against these amendments, in his own voice, in front of a television camera, using the active voice. We, frankly, deserve no less.
And soon, please.

In that neighborhood, I’d presume Mark’s bike was stolen by a predatory priest, to lure a boy into Papal games.

Interesting that Holder doesn’t even get to vote for his boss.

Teddy Partridge commented on the diary post (NOT) Breaking News: James O’Keefe May Have Violated Parole (Again) by Phoenix Woman.
What pleasant right-winger got appointed JOK3′s parole officer? How does he get away with this stuff? And why hasn’t the violator on film been arrested? Just because one person does it, and “gets away with it” doesn’t mean it’s happening everywhere.
But the right will eat this up, and Team Obama will fear to tread.

You are right, I think.
But these studios can also be used to link ‘content’ to the web. So these pernicious Opiners pollute our polity nonetheless.

Considering the fuel used to launch the satellite uplinks required by these in-home studios, I’m not sure the green justification pans out. But it was funny to see it lead.

I would be happy to be wrong: studios in the homes of Dean Baker, Robert Reich, Michael Moore, Naomi Klein and Janeane Garafalo would go a long way.

This list is so discouraging, and means that we’ll be hearing from Matalin and Carville forever, as well as Fleischer, Schmidt, Palin, Gergen and Smerconish.
Not to feed the ‘party duopoly’ mindset, but does anyone else notice how that list swings? A little Right, maybe?

Teddy Partridge wrote a new diary post: In-Home-Studio Talent Reveals Cable News Priorities
The new status symbol for vapid talking heads who parrot the conventional Beltway political wisdom, or conservative talking points in the case of Faux News, is the in-home television studio. Equipped with a Cisco Telepresence camera or HD monster, as well as potent totems and signifiers to appear on-screen behind the personality, the in-home studio [...] - Load More
