I really can’t top this:
He then wiped his sweat from his gleaming mocha brow and a droplet of the precious liquid alighted on my cheek. For the first time in my life, I experienced orgasm. And something akin to a connection with God. A dirty, sweaty sexy connection.
(Via.) Guess who that paragraph refers to. Just guess. As for me, I’m running back to the refuge that is sweet, sweet tv…
Update: and that’s why I shouldn’t post when I’ve got a massive sinus headache — alert reader Nigel gently chides me for posting the part of the article that was actually a parody of said article (and was clearly stated so underneath the rest of the quote). Quite frankly, I blame Global Warming. Anyway, I encourage you all to read the whole thing — the actual real text is much, much funnier than anything even Ace could come up with.

I suppose if my reaction is “yuck” it’s proof I’m a racist, right?
Okay. Just wanted to make sure. Because at this point I’m down with that.
One really does not need to pardoy that sort of thing, and maybe, just maybe, in years to come these journalists are going to read their old stuff and have a huge “OMG!!!eleven!!! What a dork I was!” moment.
I won’t bet on it, though. They’ll get all wistful about the Second Coming of Camelot all over again. They’ll write tedious introspective memoirs of The Moment, that shining time in history where it all cam together at the nexus and they were there.

I don’t think I’ve ever felt that way about another human being, & at this point I’m happy about that. I mean, I love my husband, I love my daughter, I get gushy-weird when it comes to loving my granddaughter…but this obamagasm crap is embarrassing. Have these idiots no self-respect or dignity at all?
Just about ruined a perfectly good piece of birthday cake…but not quite.

*Gag, vomit.*
This level of tongue washing by the media is appalling.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the paragraph you have pasted above was written by another blogger as a parody (they said so, if you happened to follow the links). Angela, I’m sure YOU know that section of the text (that you pasted above) was not part of the original article, but is it not misleading to say “guess who this is about?” and paste it as if it is somebody seriously writing about Obama? Seems to me that readers did not make the distinction.
Here is a similar scenario…
1st BLOG: “President had brain transplant with chimpanzee”
2nd BLOGGER: Guess who this is about? Yes, GW Bush. Oh, I can’t top this.
Then, add various responses from readers who don’t check the source and fall for the misleading cut & paste.
(I know, I know, this analogy is insulting to chimpanzees)

Hm, you’re right. The original is much funnier:
The parody actually gives the writer back a little bit of the dignity she threw away in her own article.
For the record, this sort of adulation of anyone — actors, politicians — makes me cringe. That includes “Dubya is going to go down as the Greatest President Evar!” and all the “Reagan reminds me of my sweet old grandad!” rhetoric I used to endure in the 80s. But the Obamadulation really has gone overboard. His followers (I use that noun advisedly, as they resemble more the members of a cult than supporters of a presidential candidate) do indeed give the impression they think he the Messiah. If he gets elected I’ll bet he gets at least a pound of sweaty panties (not all of them from females) tossed on the inaugural stage.

Actually I did read the original article, and didn’t think the parody was much of an improvement.

I take what I can get.
