I Wish You Were Somebody Else
I know it may seem like old news in light of the DeLay indictment, but this exchange from yesterday’s questioning of Mike Brown was funny :
SHAYS: I can’t help but wonder how different the answers would be — excuse me; you’re blocking me — if someone like Rudy Giuliani had been in your position instead of you, I think he would have done things differently and I think his answers to us would have been very different.
. . .
BROWN: I never thought I’d sit here and be berated because I’m not Rudy Giuliani, and I never thought someone would sit here and take out of context the fact that I said I’ve thought of several things I would do differently. I mentioned two of them.
If we’re gonna play the “I wish Michael Brown was _____” game, I’m gonna vote for Moses. If Moses were in charge of FEMA, he would have just parted those flood waters instead of just standing around like a fucking doofus.

Oooooh, what if he were Yogi Bear. Yeah, that would be funny. Then he would have lots of picnic baskets he could have distributed to all the campers, I mean victims.
a modest experiment

When you wrote, ‘I wish Michael Brown was —’, why is it the first thing I thought of was the Oscar Meyer Weiner song?

I wish Michael Brown were my retarded cousin, who just got made Employee of the Month at Home Depot, which I’m fairly certain makes him more qualified to run FEMA than Michael Brown was.

I wish Michael Brown was my cat, Boo Boo. When something needs to be done, like the passing out of food, and Boo Boo commences to howl, humans launch into action faster than Arabian horses can run.
