A Suggestion for Althouse

Ann Althouse confirms my experience when the Lightworker came to my neck of the woods, namely the slightly ridiculous over-obsessiveness of the Secret Service.

Ann, might I suggest a "Colombian Hookers, Good Rates, Inquire Within." sign???  Then you won't have to worry about fulfilling your instructional responsibilities to students for a good long while!

UPDATE: Another suggestion for Ann would be "Puhleeze, come off it lady."

And the Obama campaign isn't ugly for manufacturing vicious attacks on Romney the choir boy - kills women, yadayada?  And yet when nothing is manufactured, when the Lightworker speaks words out of his own mouth, Republicans look ugly?  This is the journalism that wasn't done in 2008.  If Ann can't see politics as a adversarial affair and/or distinguish between made up mudslinging and reporting candidates words and deeds, maybe she is one of those undecided voters.

UPPDATE:  Great minds think alike.  Glenn all but says 'Ann, puhleeeeze...'
 SO, ANN, criticizing Obama’s racial hypocrisy looks ugly? I see your point, actually, but I think that’s largely in response to a media environment in which any pointed criticism of Obama has been defined as ugly. And that’s a common lefty-media trick, setting things up so that any effective argument is somehow pre-defined as somehow impolite. There’s an instrumental argument that folks on the right need to take this into account, but beyond that, I confess I don’t much care. Obama’s politics are, and have been, ugly in the extreme: Dishonest, personal, vicious. Compared to that, noting that the whole post-racial feelgood vibe of 2008 was, to put it in ugly-but-true fashion, a complete and total lie, seems minor. Perhaps it will nonetheless alienate swing voters, but if swing voters are that easily alienated, and that immune to facts, then maybe it doesn’t matter anyway.
UPPPDATE:  Ann says don't toy with emotions.  Huh?  War on women?  Ladyparts?   "Put y'all in chaaaaaaiiiiiiiinnnnZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!"  Quit while you're only slightly behind Good Professor.
