Oh My GOD

[filkertom]

I have always been a fan of Jim Cornette, one of the greatest talkers in the history of pro wrestling. What I did not know, however, is that [a] he is a loud and proud liberal and [b] former ECW announcer Joey Styles is not.

Recently, Styles went off on Barack Obama... and Cornette smacks Joey's ass down. It's about ten minutes long, and starts off with some self-promotion and a little bit of back-story, but it's worth it. Truly, one of the primo rants of all time. Not safe for work (language).

(The dKos page links to a "video" at the Daily Motion, but it's only audio with a still frame, so your browser is indeed working correctly. Here's a direct link, to avoid the problem of the dKos page refreshing, and kestrels_nest points us to a transcript.)

So, which politician(s) would you like to see put through a table?

ETA: Link to the transcript.

ETA2: I never did mention where the subject line came from. "Oh my GOD (or maybe GAWD)" is Joey Styles' catchphrase.

I knew that Joey Styles was a very devout Catholic (I read an interview with him once where he was talking about how he balanced his personal faith with his job, among other things), I just didn't think that he was of the Mel Gibson FAR RIGHT WING branch of Catholicism. His "Obama ran away from his middle name" shows great Twithead thinking. My rebuttal to that would be "If some person was a wrestling fan had a child sometime in the last 15 years and gave the child the middle name of BENOIT, does that mean the kid is evil?" Think.....how hard is it? Learn beyond your comfort zone. Question everything. Blind faith acceptance of anything is the last thing any Higher Power would want for their creations.

My respect for Cornette just grew. Way to speak truth to drones, sir.
