For heavens sake! All the other important news going on and all anyone wants to talk about is “The Obamas.” Suddenly everything that happens around here is seen through Ms. Jodi Kantor’s prism.
Take William Daley’s decision to leave his post as Chief of Staff a little (like a year) early.
“Thanks, I’ve had a lot of fun, butt now I’ve got to get the hell out of here.”
I’m not sure why he suddenly decided to spend more time with his family, butt I am certain that it had nothing to do with the fact that Lady M was "distressed" by how a small group of "white Irish Catholic" families -- the Daleys, the Hynes and the Madigans -- "locked up" power in Illinois.
Sheeze! It was an observation that Lady M made a long, long time ago, and it’s not as if it was racist or anything. Besides, MO has totally forgiven Billy’s brother, former Mayor Richard Daley II for being - well, powerful.
Huggs!
After all, the Chicago Irish Mafia realized long ago that in order to maintain power they needed to embrace select African-American and Hispanic-American families who were willing to prostitute themselves to the Machine sacrifice in exchange for membership in the patronage system. Because, as you know, membership has its legacy privileges.
So now along with the Daleys, the Hynes and the Madigans we have the Carotherses, the Jacksons and the Strogers. Chicago is proof positive that America truly is a melting pot; where our perpetual, elite, Political Class is totally, if selectively, integrated.
Anyway, Lady M’s comment was simply based on the reality that in Chicago the Irish mafia has been buying elections since 1960.
Richard Daley and family with JFK, 1960
There’s no way that Lady M – in the middle of her extensive year-and-a-half experience working for the Daley political machine under Val-Jar’s watchful eye – could have possibly known that this very same Irish mafia she was condemning back in 1991 would one day buy the election for Big Guy too: is this a great country or what?
Mayor Daley II presents Big Guy with the votes he needs to get the nomination, 2008
Butt back to Billy – it’s less surprising that he’s leaving than it was that he landed here in the first place. He was - and is - far too centrist to help Big Guy “fundamentally transform America.” Some people, who Big Guy no longer listens to, convinced him to bring Billy onboard so moderates would think that he was adopting a Clintonian stance in order to “alter his image as a radical.”
Butt let’s be honest: “centrist” just isn’t in Big Guy’s DNA. So now that Billy’s brother, Richard, has temporarily passed the family scepter to Rhambo, we don’t really have to listen to those radical Chicago moderates so much anymore.
“Come on Billy, just pretend to think this is a good idea”
And speaking of loyalty from the old Chicago crowd, old Ax-man really came through for us last Sunday again. You really can’t breed fealty like this, butt you can buy it. And we own David Axelrod. He’s one of our best trained monkeys spokesmen. You can see his skills on display on last Sunday’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos by either watching the whole segment, or reading the transcript here, butt allow me provide the highlight:
STEPHANOPOULOS: (snip) Jodi Kantor talked to 33 people inside and around the White House. It does paint a portrait of a very tense White House, and fights between the East Wing and the West Wing. Is it an accurate portrayal?
AXELROD: No, it's not. You know -- you can take any one incident and exaggerate...
STEPHANOPOULOS: That incident is true, though, isn't it?
AXELROD: Yeah, and the context of it is important. We don't have time to rehearse it here. But George, you were in a White House, you understand that that's very -- every day is a very tense working environment and you have great collegiality and that doesn't mean that people have exchanges and words.
I think the first lady and her staff worked very well when I was there with the West Wing. She's a sensational person and highly regarded by everybody who works there.
Did you catch the important part? “We don't have time to rehearse it here.” He must have been tired, what with all the rehearsing he had to do regarding the questions and answers about the Republican debate, in order to let that slip out. Although I suppose most people already know that our MSM lapdogs generally rehearse all their questions with our “say anything” political hacks (I’m talking about you Debbie) before they tape their shows.
Be careful, or your face will freeze that way
How many times do I have to tell you? Don’t mess with Lady M!
Housekeeping Note: I’m sure you’ve noticed that I CHANGEd my header today. I know, I know, nobody likes CHANGE, butt I think it’s an improvement.More on point, and easier on the eyes. My internationally famous, award winning MO Fashion video is still here, just scootched over to the sidebar and now it links to a new page where the video is way bigger than it was in the header. I HOPE everybody likes my new look! (H/T for the change to UpNorthLurkin)

Couldn't happen to a nicer bag of meat.
ReplyDeleteThis really is YOUR week, MOTUS.
ReplyDeleteI've done a lot of thinking about that Alice in Wonderland-themed Halloween party. Okay, the Big White says the invitees were children of miliary members and administration staffers. Sooo... why are there no parents coming forward to back that up? Why no photos of the "ordinary" kiddies? Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteInquiring minds want to know.
Miss the old screen. It was priceless.
ReplyDeleteAnother great post, MOTUS!
Heh, busmates this morning were shocked, shocked! about Daley's departure and wondered if that terrible tell-all book was the cause. And a mighty SNORK to Cokie Roberts' assurances that such tiffs 'tween WHFF's and staff are not unusual, nothing to see here, move along, etc., etc. This whole Daley business has been old news on Ulsterman for what, six, eight months now? Don't these people read?
ReplyDeleteAh guesses all crackahs looks the same to some people.
ReplyDeleteThe "book" (whose title shall not be spoken) only confirms what we have long suspected and observed.
ReplyDeleteWe suspected the racism of the O's, the distain they have shown for the American taxpayer, and the overwhelming feelings of entitlement they believe that "White" America owes them.
MrAxelrod, et al, were trying to rein in MrsO's extravagence so that they would keep the approval of the voters who put them in office, but the O's believed that only Black, gays and assorted radicals were their only supporters and that they would applaud anything the O's did while he was in office.
When it didn't work that way, the O's and their supporters yelled 'racism' at every opportunity; if you didn't like Obamacare--RACIST! If you were worried about the trillion dollar bailouts--RACISM!.
It's not working anymore and more stories of the behind-the-facade will soon appear.
It's about time, too.
This Alice in Wonderland party is really coming out of the woodwork. Of course MOTUS was first to report. It finally came out on Yahoo today - 12,000 comments! Of course I couldn't read them all but the ones I read were negative and really questioning the lack of press coverage - well they covered it up. The WH is simply lying about this party - it was the night party - after the day party publicized for the masses. I hope all this crap buries him - one and done.
ReplyDeleteGoodun on the header change.
ReplyDeleteApparently there were three stages to the party:
ReplyDelete"As the description from the Burton Land commenter above reveals, there were three phases to the event: First, an outdoor party with kids and trick-or-treating (at which all the press photos were taken); then a private party inside the White House with Jonny Depp and all the “Alice in Wonderland” cast members in costume (at which the photos above were all taken); and finally an even more exclusive ultra-private adults-only affair at the end of the evening at which Depp (and the rest of the cast) had changed back into normal clothes. The question then arises: Where are the photos of this super-secret Phase Three?"
Source: http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2012/01/09/the-only-known-photos-from-the-white-houses-2009-alice-in-wonderland-party/
I'm gladd this is getting covered in the press - if only they were this interested in the Fast and Furious "fiasco".
That would be a mashed up bag of meat, right?
ReplyDelete"the Irish mafia has been buying elections since 1960"
ReplyDeleteAt least that long, with regards to presidential elections. Chicago election crap is way older than the Daleys, as far as that goes.
I realized (and corrected myself on my post yesterday accordingly) that although we know the military families and area children were at the OUTDOORS part, where they received goodie bags, we don't know that they were in the Alice in Wonderland part.
ReplyDeleteI tend to think perhaps they were not! I can't imagine all those children filing into that inner room in the White House, with all the decorations and Johnny Depp.
I can't help but think the people who got into that were a much lesser group, with perhaps no military and area families at all.
I'm thinking that part was really for the Obamas and friends and cronies. I haven't found anything yet that said the military and local familes got into THAT. And have we seen any pictures that would indicate such a crowd as we saw outside?
They keep saying, "This was for military families and local children," but we know that to be true only of the goodie bag part outside.
Knowing them, as we do, it seems likely to me that they want us to get confused, and think the military and local were all allowed into the inner sanctum as well.
That "12,000 comments" - I think those Yahoo numbers stand for more than just the thread in question, so you can't go by them.
ReplyDelete:-D
ReplyDeleteWould that the Mafia was still running other cities like the old days. Chicago is the city that works, a great town; the mistake is that Obama does not represent that city. Michelle doesn't either, her family was there to deliver votes to whomever they were told to vote for.
ReplyDeleteDetroit, New Orleans: when the Mafia lost their power there those cities rotted. Texas never had a serious Mafia crime issue because the citizens were/are armed, the Mafia did not want to lose their people. They did come to Texas to open legitimate businesses with washed money.
MOTUS, I like the new look. I look forward to the daily dose of ugly MO mugshots. And today we only get 1 out of 9?
ReplyDeleteEverytime I see her fugly mug it just put's everything into perspective for me. Furthermore, I have to wonder with all the makeup and plastic surgery why can't they wipe that ugly off her face? Distort it even a little? Maybe it's what is deep down inside showing through?
Her face must be stuck on ugly to have such a large number of unattractive shots having only served a 3 year's God help us if there is a second term. Now having said all that. I'm praying I don't get turned into Attack Watch or worse yet, incur the loss of my job like this gentleman did:

Pick Me Up on Your Way Down
You were mine for just a while now you're puttin' on the style
And you'd never once looked back at your home across the track
You're the gossip of the town but my heart can still be found
Where you tossed it on the ground pick me up on your way down
Pick me up on your way down when you're blue and all alone
When their glamour starts to bore you come on back where you belong
You may be their pride and joy but they'll find another toy
Then they'll take away your crown pick me up on your way down
[ fiddle - steel ]
They have changed your attitude made you haughty and so rude
Your new friends can take the blame underneath you're still the same
When you've learned these things are true I'll be waiting here for you
As you tumble to the ground pick me up on your way down
Pick me up on your way down...

ReplyDeleteAh, the Mah-fy-ay; the bringers of sin and control. When they were in charge of LasVegas, you could walk down the street without fear of mugging, the "girls" were discretely placed in hotel rooms and not hawked on the sidewalks and if you played by their rules they would cover any, um, ugly that happened there.
ReplyDeleteToday, accountants and MBAs run the Strip and it's a crime-laden scary scene. Pimps pass out photos of women to everyone and Grandma daren't walk outside at night.
Boston thrived, NewYork was built into the world's business center, Detroit made cars that everyone wanted.

ReplyDeleteWhile doing genealogical research on my Irish ancestors in Chicago, I actually found my great-great grandfather (a police captain) voting in the early 1900's two years after his death and burial.
ReplyDeleteLove the new look MOTUS.
ReplyDeleteThought of you when I read Bernie Goldberg's comments on O'Reilly last night :
"Then there was what you mentioned in the lead-in about, you know, <span>expensive clothing during hard times. </span>Michelle Obama, according to Jodi Kantor, went to a food bank -- Bill, a food bank -- wearing $515 sneakers. <span>Gibbs is a guy who understands that images matter. He blew up. <span>And he was doing the president and Mrs. Obama a favor, even if they didn't realize it</span>,</span><span> because you don't go to a food bank wearing $515 sneakers.</span>"
lf only Michelle Obama was smart (and humble) enough to listen to her mirror, life in the White House would be such less hell for her....
I think you are on to something, Alana.
ReplyDeleteIt was probably the same favored group that got to go for a joy ride, buzzing the Statue of Liberty in AF Won, scaring the crap out of all of NYC. THAT incident has never been satisfactorily explained, either.
DRUDGE has a readers' primary poll on his site --- veddy innnnerestin'.
ReplyDeleteI rather think the Harlan Howard/Charlie Walker version is more appropriate:

ReplyDeleteThe Obamas hate White people because they are white? That's textbook racism.
ReplyDeleteI'm very concerned about the power of black politicians and their up-front racism against Whites.
Aha. It was a triple header party!
ReplyDeleteIn one of the photos at pjmedia, it shows chefs and "guests" in the background at the Alice in Wonderland party, but none of the guests appear to be kids. My bet is that the "military families" were only included in the earlier outdoor trick-or-treat gathering and only "special" friends were invited inside for partay #2 (perhaps there were some staffers' kids and friends of the Wee Wons at that) and partay #3 (the all-adult soiree).
I totally agree with Alana's post above that "They keep saying, 'This was for military families and local children,' but we know that to be true only of the goodie bag part outside."
As in the past, they repeat a falsehood often enough and it eventually is accepted as true.

I believe the answer to military families being included at the posh Halloween party is "Not". They could not keep up the pretense for that long in the company of real people. I won't miss Burton butt I might miss Johnny a little even though I haven't seen many of his films lately. Now that I think about it, none since Don Juan DeCarlo...so I don't think putting him on The List will cause much discomfort.
ReplyDeleteI am very open to change, MOTUS. Glad though you kept that iconic pic of FFA and Darling and the Very Adorable Carla.
Did all of you check out the article (see Weasel Zippers) about designers supporting the re-election campaign? All of them looking for more bashing for the ugly things the give her to wear I suppose...with little panderer Anna Wintour at the helm. Forty-four out of forty-five comments were extremely negative toward both of the Wons when I last looked. They should have looked to MOTUS first to get the gist of how they are really seen by real people!
im still suspicious of this book talking about moosh not getting along with rahm. they may have been at odds like a lovers quarrel.we know his gayness isnt taking care of her but i was sure rahm was?? we know moosh is racist just look at her looking jealous at carly bruni.

ReplyDeletePolitics is a blood sport...from a black perspective:
ReplyDeletehttp://theblacksphere.net/politics-blood-sport/
"Eventually, former aides say, Obama came to not only embrace, but love her role as first lady."
ReplyDeleteI wonder... *DONT_KNOW* Was that before or after she told Carla Bruni that "being first lady is hell. I can't stand it"?
By choosing not to grab Obama by the naughty bits and squeeze until it hurt, Hillary got Kung Fu’d ghetto style into Secretary of Statedom. Hillary was sucker punched by a metrosexual gladiator, I call Sissyfuss, named for the Greek god Sisyphus condemned to repeat the tedious and arduous role of pushing the boulder a mountain only to watch it roll down again."

Failed Olympic Bid:
ReplyDeleteJudicial Watch Obtains Documents Revealing Cost of Barack and Michelle Obama’s Failed Bid to Bring 2016 Olympics to Chicago
Two-Week Trip to Copenhagen Cost Taxpayers in Excess of $467,175
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch, the organization that investigates and fights government corruption, announced today that it has obtained records detailing costs associated with a trip made by President and Mrs. Obama and key members of the administration to Copenhagen, Denmark, for the expressed purpose of securing the 2016 Olympics for the city of Chicago. Expenses for the two-week trip appear to have far exceeded $467,175, in light of the fact that costs associated with the aircrafts ‒ two Boeing 747s and several Air Force cargo planes – have not been made available.

Michelle Says Race Behind Portrayal in New Book
by Keith Koffler
Michelle Obama today said a new book alleging that she influenced President Obama's choices on policy and staff was part of a long running effort to portray her as an "angry black woman."
The book, "The Obamas" by New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor, portrays Michelle as critical of senior White House aides, regarding them as insular and insufficiently devoted to President Obama's liberal vision of "transformative" change. Michelle was in particular concerned about former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and believed the president needed a new team.
In an interview with CBS This Morning, Michelle said she had "never had a cross word" with Rahm but didn't deny that she had found his leadership problematic and acknowledged that she in general made her views on matters clear to the president.
But the first lady also said the author was trying to titillate by amping up the drama and was associating her with an unflattering racial stereotype.
I guess it's more interesting to imagine this conflicted situation here and a strong woman and a - you know, but that's been an image that people have tried to paint of me since the day Barack announced, that I'm some angry black woman.
Michelle was magnanimous toward former Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, who cursed the first lady during a staff meeting, calling him a good friend and saying, "we could go day to day and find the things people wish the didn't say to each other."
Here's the interview if you want to take a look-see.
http://cnettv.cnet.com/av/video/cbsnews/atlantis2/cbsnews_player_embed.swf
I came straight here as soon as I clicked the link on Drudge. Haven't had enough coffee yet to click the video link yet butt am getting there (getting over nasty cold and slept really late).
ReplyDeleteHalfway through the "interview," -- I can only take so much of her whiny voice at one time -- and it seems extremely orchestrated to me (and I'm not even talking about the content). One example is the attempt to make the women appear tiny by the use of oversize chairs, just compare the size of MA0's foot to the length of the bottom rail and legs of the her chair. The work she has had done is showing badly butt apparently Ms. King has had better work and/or better bone structure to begin with; she is certainly more polished than MA0.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone ever instructed MA0 that crossing your ankles and sitting up straight is more appropriate and ladylike than crossing one's knees, dangling your toe, and slouching in your chair, not to mention that proper posture makes you appear more attractive, slimmer, strong and poised. Butt I digress.
Thanks guest, I had lost the link to Mr. Jackson's blog - he's awesome!
ReplyDeleteExcellent comment "me" but let's not insult Female Dogs! A dog is 1,00,00000000 more times classier and nicer, even with rabies, than moo! I would liken her to a feral gutter rat that is cornered! ;)
