six degrees by josh
move over, kevin bacon:
The latest right-wing game is to pin controversial figures, who might have said or done anything objectionable at any point in their lifetimes, to Barack Obama. Then make him apologize for them. Then make him denounce and reject them. And then say he hasn’t done enough to “distance” himself from them…
So, let’s play the six degrees of Barack Obama game and see who else he should denounce and reject… I invite all of you to play along. See how many degrees it takes you to get to Obama and how enthusiastically and vociferously he has to denounce you.
as if it wasn’t bad enough that he’s only two degrees away from cenk uygur, there’s more bad news news for obama: since i shook his hand at a campaign stop last year, he is now also directly responsible for every outrageous, unpatriotic, foolish thing i’ve ever said or written. if chris wallace ever finds about about this site, obama is well and truly fucked.
in fact, there’s a good chance that just by reading this post, you too have been tainted, and any political ambitions you may have harbored are henceforth invalidated. sorry! if you feel the need to distance yourself, i’ll understand.
Uh oh, I’m only three degrees from Obama, since I hit Cenk Uygur’s car in a Ralph’s parking lot a couple of years ago. Add parking lot fender-benders to Obama’s list of crimes!
Well since Sonyl worked for the Obama campaign and met Barack himself, he’s now only two degrees from the entire JiggleODrome set. If that doesn’t sink his candidacy, I don’t know what will.
BTW… Cenk is coming to the National Conference for Media Reform this June in Minneapolis. Are you? If not, why the hell not? It’s not that far from Iowa City…
