Bimbo babes babbling about Bush

By Jan Ireland

Trying to listen to their own voice as they speak gives them away. Trying to think, if someone gets them off-script, shoots them down. These Babes salivate at national publicity, and you know they'll be playing the recording of the interview until it wears thin. But though they're better trained these days, they're still just bimbo Babes babbling about Bush. Who but a liberal bimbo Babe would take off her clothes, and say that all she wants is that Americans be more involved in the political process?

Now I haven't seen their calendar, but the Babe herself described being clothes-less. She did describe using a technological tool, in what I assume would be fig leaf positions, so she might argue about being naked. And don't think I'm the one calling her Babe. The Babe herself said that was the name… of the Babe herself, and her eleven also presumably clothes-less cohorts.

Perhaps the trainers could work on the parroting. The Babe sounded a bit like a robot. I mean 'not here to debate' and 'not telling you to vote for or against' begins to wear thin after several hundred times. I felt compelled to start counting. And if I'm counting, you know I'm not hearing the Babe's message.

And, I'm sorry to have to point this out, but there is a problem with logic. It isn't logical for the Babe to continue saying she's not trying to tell someone to vote against Bush, when the name of her enterprise specifically encourages that. I know the Babe was counting on my giving the actual name of the enterprise here, because it is after all an enterprise, but I don't think I will.

It's interesting about the timing of the babbling bimbo Babes. Could they have come together right now to counteract all the expressions of hate we're hearing about Bush? I mean, we've heard hate and George Bush put together so often, I had begun to think it was a new party. The dem party. The green party. The hategeorgebush party. I could almost picture Pollyanna as the Babe was talking. But then there was such a disconnect in the images...

Could it be that the Babes want to divert attention from the recovery of the economy? Nah. The Babe I heard hadn't been given the latest economic figures. She didn't know that the jobless recovery isn't jobless; that it is actually jobs-ful, so to speak. And she seemed to think that the President sets insurance policy rates. Also, she was confused about receiving the tax rebate. At times she didn't, then she did, then she changed the subject. Something in the programming maybe...

But something else has been in the back of my mind since I heard that interview.

Wait a minute. The Babe is an ox. A blue ox. Babe the Blue Ox. Companion of Paul Bunyan. The tall tale.

A huge, amiable, somewhat mindless creature. Eager to do what she's told. Led around and patted on the head when she was good.

Yes, that's it.
