Q: How is U.S. Ambassador Mark Lippert like the Batman?
A: You frequently see him with Robyn.
Q: How is he like the Joker?
A: Is it not obvious?
It is interesting that nobody here has really paid any attention to this slimeball’s politics. If they had, everybody might be on the program to make fun of this guy in any way possible.
But, of course, the brilliance of both the left and the right is that they have the American public so disengaged from reality that they can do as they please… and, in fact, have made it somewhat unfashionable to discuss true values and intended influences.
This is why only they can have nice things.
@Chickenhead, Lippert has been discussed before on the ROK Drop. He is basically an Obama administration insider who has had to do some dirty work for them. In return he has been taken care of with salary perks and now with an important ambassadorship. What he has done to get ahead is nothing unusual in the world of Washington politics. So far it seems he has been doing a good job as the ambassador to South Korea.
“Lippert has been discussed before on the ROK Drop.”
Yes… but in today’s short-attention span society, The Message must be hammered home every time it comes up for it to stick. Any publicity, especially positive or neutral publicity, must contain a reminder of the darker reality of the situation… or The Message becomes one of happy-smiley people doing happy-smiley things.
“He is basically an Obama administration insider who has had to do some dirty work for them. In return he has been taken care of with salary perks and now with an important ambassadorship. What he has done to get ahead is nothing unusual in the world of Washington politics.”
…and all child molesters molest children which is nothing unusual in the world of child molestation… and hardly worthy of attention. The American public’s apathetic attitude toward crappy and unethical behavior, which is given a pass because it is “nothing unusual”, is how this losing system is perpetuated.
“So far it seems he has been doing a good job as the ambassador to South Korea.”
Doing nothing would likely give the appearance of “doing a good job” as an ambassador in most situations in most countries… hence the position is so often given as a political reward to those with suspect qualifications and motivations. As long as he shows up to ball games with his grimace properly disguised as a smile and keeps his diick out of schoolgirls, he is doing just fine.
I only bring this up because his history indicates that he perfectly represents some of the problems of American leadership that seem to be causing long-term harm to America. If there was a constant attention on these things equal to that placed on some Hollywood skank’s baby-bump or some gentle giant getting blown away for being more giant than gentle, America would be a better place for all Americans.
…and it is the duty of all Americans who want America to succeed to do their teeny-tiny little part every day.
