....Just A Draft.
Then again, sometimes it is not.
South of 49th snarkoleptic sharpshooter Driftglass ducked into a Chicago bar last night to catch the 8:00pm speech from his fearless leader on one of the gazillion or so TV sets buzzing in the place. Unfortunately, he still hasn't found what he's looking for (warning: while he is no RudePundit, Driftglass is the former king of the komment threads over at Steve Gilliard's place so his language can be 'colourful' to say the least). Here's why:
"A lot of people were watching (at the beginning). This was, after all, a Major Prime Time Address on a matter of Great National Importance, in a room that looked to me to be loosely packed with 1-A, draft-age Bushite males. So my pal and I, we were just starting to relax into the rhythm of it, such as it was, when the signal cut off.......
Several of the teevees flickered, which was kind of weird and momentarily chilling, and then one of the barristas pulled down a HUGE white screen and fired up the projection box in the ceiling and I figured she was putting on the Major Prime Time Address of Great National Importance and I thought, “OK, well they may be kinda fascist-y here, but at least they take this seriously.”
Because it was, as I have said, a Major Prime Time blah blah blah.
Nah.
It was 8:15. And the NBA draft was on.
And every teevee, including the Very Big One, flickered a few more times, and all settled on it. And everyone just kept right on, and no one asked for any one of the 600,000 channels to be changed back to Bush and the Big Speech.......
We laughed, my friend and I, finished our beers, and left."
Now Driftglass took this to be evidence that everyone involved, Republicans included, were completely indifferent to the latest round of speechifying by the Twignoramous.
And he's probably right.
Further, it probably wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that the Roving Halliburtonians messed up on this one re: scheduling.
But what if they didn't?
What if their real intent was to use the Twig as nothing more than a short lead-in to a very popular and glamorous draft where everyone involved hits the jackpot. In otherwords, a draft that every young kid in the country wishes they could be a part of.
A Draft.....
Popular.....
Glamorous.....
Profitable.....
Put me in coach!
I'm ready to play.........
Naw.
They wouldn't stoop to something like that.
Would they?
