Luntz wants off White House mailing lists.
Luntz wants off White House mailing lists.
“I don’t want to be on your White House list anymore,” Republican political strategist Frank Luntz wrote to Bush White House official Scott Arogeti on Friday, after he had received a text copy of the president’s speech on fighting global terrorism to the Heritage Foundation. “This is my third attempt to get my name removed,” he said. Luntz was irritated that Bush’s speech opened with “a pathetic joke.” The Washington Times reports:
Mr. Luntz apparently thought Mr. Bush was a bit too jovial when he began his remarks: “Thanks for the kind introduction. I’m looking forward to working with you for the next 14 months — but you better put on your running shoes, because my spirits are high, my energy level is good and I’m sprinting to the finish line.”

Luntz isn’t upset about all of the unnecessary killing, U.S. rights being trampled, Constitution being ignored, torture being discussed as hypothetical… but a bad joke? That’s intolerable. He’s got his priorities a little phucked up.

No time to get a conscience now, is it Frankie boy?

November 5th, 2007 at 10:15 amThe guy that coaches politicians on how to lie to voters has a problem with people lying to him? :)
November 5th, 2007 at 10:21 amI’m missing something. No matter how many problems Luntz may have with Shrub, it seems like a republican strategist would love to get pre-press copies of speeches.
November 5th, 2007 at 10:21 amfrank luntz? … the guy who did so much to help put these guys
in a position to destroy democracy?
THAT frank luntz?

November 5th, 2007 at 10:21 amIf the finish is off a cliff with the lemmings following, fine by me!
November 5th, 2007 at 10:23 amFan of Man sez:
The finish is off a cliff…unfortunately, he’s dragging the entire nation along with him, and unlike him, we don’t have parachutes.
November 5th, 2007 at 10:28 amIf I was Luntz, I’d prefer to stay on the mailing list. It’s obvious that Luntz doesn’t support the political “strategery” Bush is currently using, but it pays to be able to see the enemy’s playbook (or even friends’ playbooks).
I read Ann Coulter and other wingnut columnists, and I pay attention to what the right says. Not because I support what they say, but because I like to see how they are trying to manipulate the populace. It keeps me familiar with the techniques they use — distract, deflect, spin, outright lie if you think people will be too lazy to check, and build, build, build straw men.
November 5th, 2007 at 10:28 amsorry, frankie, but you are forever identified as one of the prime propagandists for the republican party. your history of teaching the gop foot soldiers how to lie, er, frame, their policies will be singled out as one of the most destructive influences ever on modern day politics in the united states.
mission accomplished.
November 5th, 2007 at 10:28 amWait, that was the joke? What was the punchline? Bush needs a guild writer to come up with better material.
Oh, wait…
November 5th, 2007 at 10:31 amit’s never too late to repent frankie boy.
November 5th, 2007 at 10:34 amps – the joke sucked.
November 5th, 2007 at 10:34 amTripMaster Monkey, we DO have the parachutes but it takes all of us to pull the cord to a SAFE landing….
peace out.
November 5th, 2007 at 10:38 amAsk any Convict, what comes around goes around or was that the other way around?

Luntz is a propaganda spewing traitor.
November 5th, 2007 at 11:08 amThe bigger the rat the louder the splash when he jumps off the ship.
November 5th, 2007 at 11:34 amSprint straight to Hell, Busch, and take Luntz with you.

November 5th, 2007 at 11:40 amThe joke: He, unlike thousands of American troops, has stillgot 2 legs to do that sprint on. No IED’s wearing him down.
November 5th, 2007 at 11:57 amMissmolly, having read your post, I must say you’re a far better person than I. I can barely stomach the very little of Ann Coulter’s vomit-inducing words when they’re reprinted for progressive blogs (or Al Franken books) to refute. To willingly spend (waste?) time reading the vast amount of right-wing garbage just seems to be the ultimate in masochism. I would suppose that, by now, you’ve developed a form of immunity so that you don’t become violently ill the way most of us would–it’s either that, or you’re well-supplied in antacid and anti-nausea medications. ;-)
November 5th, 2007 at 2:22 pmAll I can say is I certainly hope that you’re not actually enabling these hatemongers by paying out of your own pocket to read their garbage. (If you are, however, I hope it’s connected to your full-time job so you can use it as a job-related tax write-off. And, yes, I know that reading a library copy isn’t much better in terms of “paying out of your own pocket” since your–and my–tax dollars pay for the libraries to purchase that filth.)
All I know is that this white house official, Scott Arogeti, sounds very attractive. Someone get me this number!
November 5th, 2007 at 3:35 pmLuntz is a weasel. Now he’s backing away from a pile of shit because he thinks it stinks.
November 5th, 2007 at 5:31 pmHe doesn’t acknowledge that he contributed mightily to that pile of shit.
Oh, go away, Frank.
“…I’m sprinting to the finish line.â€
What the hell does that mean, anyway? Somebody should ask Bush to explain what he thinks he’s saying. If the finish line is 14 months from now, how can you sprint to it? It’s still going to be 14 months from now.
He’s always trying to use these cute little cliches to describe himself as being swift or determined or effective. And he’s nothing but a dumb little putz.
Go ahead and sprint to the finish line, clown There’s a nice cozy little jail cell waiting for you there.
