Totally OT, but - True Blood icon!

I was on vacation a few weeks ago and I watched the entirety of True Blood. It was amazing. \o/

At least he doesn't sparkle.

srsly. Everyone knows the official ontd_political Twilight AU characters are Huckabella and Mitt Cullen.

ahtefeh August 11 2009, 20:48:28 UTC

when did that happen?

schmiss August 11 2009, 21:16:40 UTC

Haha it was a few months ago. When Huckabee kept dissing Romney in public, and dedicated half his book to talking about how much he hated Mittens and didn't like him and how he was ruining Republicans and no one should talk about him ever, except to talk for pages and pages about how awful he is.

Let me see if I can find the original threads. They were beautiful.

Srsly. I was mad at the writers for making me like that mountain of dumb. Then again, the episode was full of Eric so obviously they were immediately forgiven.

IMHO it's the word "blood sucking" that's the most politically charged part of that statement. That's a classic dehumanizing term used against Jews and other minorities who are perceived to be "taking your stuff away" or "controlling you" or whatever. And if Lou Dobbs wants to play the "I'm so much smarter than you" card, I'm not giving him a pass for not understanding that reference.

Very good points, all of them.

How long before CNN lets Dobbs go? He's making a whole lot of enemies, between MediaMatters, Rachel, Keith, Dean and all the sane CNN viewers.

devil_details August 11 2009, 20:48:41 UTC

I give him 3 months tops.

hpennhills August 11 2009, 20:52:32 UTC

Not soon enough but if I had to guess maybe 5 months

devil_details August 11 2009, 21:01:32 UTC

Here's what I think's gonna happen; Dobbs is fired but they'll make it look like he resigned, Dobbs moves over to Fox News, then CNN will move AC360 to 7 in order to try to hide that show's ratings erosion
