In an age of spin, Carney Barker Bob offers feeling and authenticity. His message is consistent no matter the evidence - and yet he commands daily attention by his on-the-spot, invective-rich variations on the theme. His lunatic counterfactual art is more appealing than the banal awfulness of the Reliable Sources. He is a Method actor in a production that will close in a few months. He stands superior to truth.
These are his all-time favorite gems:
"There are no Republicans in Washington. They are not in control of Congress. It is all an illusion."
"There is no Wall Street money in the White House. Never!"
"I triple guarantee you, the economy is booming!"
"Bring on the economic numbers. We will welcome them with our shoes."
"The First Lady is worshiped throughout the world."
"Budget deficit is an illusion caused by the lack of taxation."
"The sea levels have dropped like an old shoe!"
"Forces of capitalism are being slaughtered. They have just lost their beloved trickle-down economics."
"Rebels are being audited."
"Barack Obama is heterosexual."
"The US Constitution is not worth an old shoe."
"We have crushed Christianity. May Allah roast their stomachs in Hell!"
"The cowardly Catholics are retreating on all fronts. We feed them death and hell!"
"Their fetuses are committing suicide by the thousands."
"Who is this dog Santorum in Pennsylvania?"
"Michelle Obama has never been on vacation. Ever."
"Michelle Obama is a woman."
"Republicans do not lead us in the polls. This is a lie. May the Rasmussen be accursed."
"These villainous louts at Fox News deserve to be beaten with shoes."
"Zionism is all about lies. Iran is not building a nuclear bomb."
"I blame Al-Jazeera - they are marketing for Israel!"
"Sharia Law is not the problem. Women showing their ankles is the problem."
"Republicans are waging War on Women."
"We issued a warning to the civilian population not to listen to Rush Limbaugh. Do not repeat his lies."
"I saw it with my own eyes. Republicans captured and waterboarded a young lady at the pool in Sheraton. They are war criminals"
"We have taxed their sweat, their blood, and their tears. And look - we have taxed them into prosperity!"
"Supply and demand are now history. We are winning!"
"Lying is forbidden in this White House. Barack Hussein Obama will tolerate nothing but truthfulness."
"The president's transgendered nanny ate his birth certificate."
