Seduction, Beauty & Politics / The "Caribou Barbie" Haiku

SEDUCTION, BEAUTY, & POLITICS:

I'm all about poetry. But, I must say that in addition to this election lacking any sort of formidable debate or rhetoric thus far, it has also lacked beauty. Yes, I said beauty. I'm speaking about the psychology of what I term "Seduction Politics". Its my little pet concept, nothing to google.

I'm speaking about the art of highly educated, uber-entrenched candidates, seeking to engage in impressive "job interview"-like speeches morphed with charismatic, seductive charm in which they subtly woo an American electorate. An electorate they wish to serve and look after, sincerely. I'm thinking: ala JFK, RFK, Clinton, and even Carter. (My love of politics and history has convinced me that the concept does exist, but seems embodied in only a select few.)

But this year, I don't see much seduction! Instead, we've got what we've got. I do recognize and salute Obama, and I believe he's of the "seductive" variety. But, I wonder: where's his passion and righteous anger over the state of our country? His speech earlier this year at the Berlin Wall was electric! It was an incredible glimpse of his statesmanship that we aren't seeing enough of. That "rock star", saucy charisma needs to penetrate his veneer again, and much more before November.

So ends my seduction-inspired political rant. Now, to end todays post, I'm all about focusing my frustrations this day on "John McEvil" and "Caribou Barbie". Why? Among other reasons because they'd rather "game-play" and grandstand instead of "romance". They are users who want something for nothing. They don't want to love or serve America.

If there were ever a time America needed hope and inspirational rhetoric out of candidates, its now. Instead, we've got the below:

THE "CARIBOU BARBIE" HAIKU:

No, its not an ode to Palin. It couldve been one to Obama -- and, in the coming weeks, one will likely be written in honor of him. Sometimes, works are made to riddicule rather than honor. Hence, my wreck of a "Caribou Barbie" haiku.

In light of the fact that all McCain seems to want to do is rape, pillage, and patronize America, I let out a nauseated sigh. And, he's trying to engineer it all with his partner in crime, "Caribou Barbie" Palin!!!

So, in disgust and rebellion, I offer an embarrassingly awful haiku in response. (And, I dedicate the haiku to a cool someone named Paul.):::


"Caribou Barbie - she was once just for Alaska;

Then, McShame, he went insane!

Via osmosis, a policy expert be?

On tv, if she falls in debate, will they hear the thud all the way up in NYC????"
