Let no one else's work evade your eyes
Remember why the good Lord made your eyes
So don't shade your eyes
But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize

If you're like most Americans on the Starboard side, you won't feel there's anything wrong with mocking, insulting and even threatening the wife and children of a political opponent, because if they oppose you, they're not really humans deserving of any shred of decency or respect. Hence the pictures of the Obama family as apes, Chelsea Clinton as a Cocker Spaniel and the outright threats of violence against Michelle Obama.
So what the hell, can't we show them what it's like to hear Melanoma Trump the Trophywife ripping off the educated and erudite Mrs. Obama with her foreign accent? Plagiarize!
Trophywife Trump who bought her citizenship Faustian Style and is too lazy to learn decent Mississippi English like the rest of us? I mean you can trust her opinion because she'd certainly risk the private jet, the private helicopter and the private 3 billion (he lies about how rich he is) to tell you the truth about Donald Dickless and his "dream" for us all.

It reminds me a little bit of being in the fifth grade. We ancients might have gone to the library, or even looked something up in the encyclopedia. Yet the teacher was clear to admonish us, "Please put it in your own words." So we got out a Thesaurus or altered the syntax or structure a little bit and off we went to a passing grade. By the seventh or eighth grade we learned how to footnote our sources or create a bibliography.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was an adorable tribute of love to our nation's favorite first lady. Imagine if one was called to give a speech in Slovenian before the entire EU? Very daunting. The little schoolgirl smile and her bright eyes make the homage a true joy.
Botox and collagen and silicone, oh my.
DeleteInstead of a speech, maybe Melania should have given those Goopers twenty minutes of pole dancing.
ReplyDeleteUh, wouldn't that be Slovenian dancing?
