Been a minute, but I was trying to break down the nuances of the Full Blown Oprah effect for cats a decade ago http://cobb.typepad.com/visioncircle/2005/02/interpersonal-c.htmlCNuhttp://subrealism.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-74830711897668417012015-02-20T08:01:31.142-06:002015-02-20T08:01:31.142-06:00As usual CNu, you were on the money about that tel...As usual CNu, you were on the money about that teleprompter crack from Ken. It's a widely parroted meme, and, one of their piss-poor substitutes for calling the President an uppity nigger. Still, Walker’s response to Dean’s provocation was similarly telling. “That’s the kind of elitist, government-knows-best, top-down approach from Washington we’ve heard for years,” he told Kelly. “We’ve had an Ivy League-trained lawyer in the White House for the last six years who was pretty good at reading off the teleprompter but done a pretty lousy job leading this country.”<br /><br />Let’s pause and parse. Elitist? Sure. But what in the world does Walker’s incomplete college transcript have to do with one’s view of government, whether big or small, top-down or bottom-up? <br /><br />Walker’s comments mash up a wad of unrelated resentments, blue-collar bristling over Ivy League snobbery combined with conservative opposition to Big Government. Maybe this conflation reflects canny politics — or maybe it suggests an undisciplined failure on Walker’s part to think through the issue. <br /><br />Same with the double-dis of President Obama as both Harvard lawyer and teleprompter reader. I’ve always been fascinated by the conservative focus on Obama’s teleprompter habit. Say what you will about the president — he is more than capable of speaking off the cuff on any number of issues, at tedious length. But the problem is either that he’s a pointy-headed intellectual or that he’s a drooler incapable of communicating without an electronic prop. Which one is it, governor?http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-miseducation-of-scott-walker/2015/02/19/e6d81290-b86d-11e4-a200-c008a01a6692_story.htmlrohannoreply@blogger.com
