As GorT was reading the Czar’s post from this morning, it reminded him of a few tidbits that came across the optical interface this morning:

• Harry Belafonte (seriously, his best work is his Muppet show episode) is the latest in a string of Hollywood democrat / Obama supporters to start airing some disillusionment with the president.  Others have included Matt Damon, Jane Lynch, Barbara Streisand, and even Gene Simmons.
• Clooney has come out saying that Hollywood actors shouldn’t stump for any president
• OpEds in various liberal-supporting newspapers are starting to appear which criticize the president’s achievements (or lack thereof).

Layer in the recent turmoil within the White House that eventually resulted in William Daley being ousted as the president’s chief of staff.  And then finally add the gaff-tastic VP Joe Biden (theTaliban aren’t our enemies) and you have a recipe for trouble.

I tend to believe that part of the swirl around the GOP candidates is that in this country, and probably more broadly, people have become more reliant on instant gratification.  So when there are !#!@!elevnty!@!! GOP candidates jockeying for position over  a year before the general election, people just don’t focus on it.  Yes, the primaries will narrow that in, but even then I think that outside of those jurisdictions, the nation as a whole isn’t as focused on it.

So taken that all into account, GorT still believes that the rumorings that Joe Biden may not be the VP on the democrat side of the presidential ticket this fall are more solid than not.  It’s a great way to position Hillary Clinton for 2016, because when you look around, do you see many other good democrat candidates?  Heck, if you need some help deciding, listen to Joe Biden himself, “Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Quite frankly it might have been a better pick than me.” (Biden in New Hampshire in Sept 2008 after being picked for the VP slot). 

GorT

GorT is an eight-foot-tall robot from the 51ˢᵗ Century who routinely time-travels to steal expensive technology from the future and return it to the past for retroinvention. The profits from this pay all the Gormogons’ bills, including subsidizing this website. Some of the products he has introduced from the future include oven mitts, the Guinness widget, Oxy-Clean, and Dr. Pepper. Due to his immense cybernetic brain, GorT is able to produce a post in 0.023 seconds and research it in even less time. Only ’Puter spends less time on research. GorT speaks entirely in zeros and ones, but occasionally throws in a ڭ to annoy the Volgi. He is a massive proponent of science, technology, and energy development, and enjoys nothing more than taking the Czar’s more interesting scientific theories, going into the past, publishing them as his own, and then returning to take credit for them. He is the only Gormogon who is capable of doing math. Possessed of incredible strength, he understands the awesome responsibility that follows and only uses it to hurt people.
