When the literate go bad. From the Shaksper ListServ.

From this thread: SHK 15.1026 More W s Hal, Kerry is Hamlet Crap

We laugh at the semi-literate freepers. But, surely, this is too frightening to be funny.

The teeth (tooth?) gnashing, tail chasing, screeching hissyfit that Liberals are pitching in an attempt to diminish President George W. Bush is extremely gratifying and somewhat entertaining. If you scrubbed the ambition off John Kerry, there wouldn't be enough left to cast a shadow in the noonday sun. The more apt Kerry analog from Hamlet is Osric, ameddling with his bonnet, one finger in the wind. The dregs of the drossy age that is attempting to dote on Kerry will be swept up with him, and together they will make a nice, soft plop in the bottom of history's dumpster. George W. Bush, third George in the Pantheon of American Presidents, will be styled "George the Conqueror," since "George the Great" will forever be retained by Washington.

1. To which one can only reply: "Oh brother."

:eyes:

Someone should point out to this loser that if really WERE literate, he'd realize he set up W to be George III, and we all know HIS mental state.

2. Someone on this listsrv should be a little more attentive to metaphor

Maybe I'm just being a picky reader, but I am a metatphor-and-analogy-enthealled Southroner (we could no more talk without them than eat breakfast without grits) I am concerned about this shadow analogy. The least shadow is cast by the noonday sun (none at all, under ideal conditions).

Ah, well, it seems you can't go anywhere without people injecting politics into whatever forms they visit. For myself, it's sailing forums. I try to bite my tongue and not encourge it, but I have a sad feeling we won't have any respite anywhere from the campaign in a very short time.
