"Love Shack"

The latest in the right-wing campaign to insinuate that Barack Obama is an oversexed Mandingo—in this particular case, a bisexual ("Why do grown men talk about their body parts tingling over this politician's infectious charm?") oversexed Mandingo:

The link in the ad didn't work for me—one more reason to retire the myth of Rovian omnicompetence—but one imagines it's a quick-cut MTV-style video, set to a throbbing dance club beat—of the likes of Christopher Matthews babbling idiotically about how much Barack Obama's candidacy excites them. You know, so our conservative friends can say: "this is perfectly innocent, you hysterical liberal! 'Love Shack because the media loves him. Not because we're injecting untethered fantasies about Obama's unfettered booty-lust into the public's lizard brain—no, not us!!"

Just like the Douthatian demurrals ca. 1940 that the crimson-drenched RNC pamphlet "THE ROOSEVELT RECORD IN RED" was about budget policy, not Bolshevism, you whiny-ass Bolshevik punk!
