Campbell Brown: Bush has his "mojo" back...Carville NAILS her!!!!

[Roland99]

Campbell Brown kissing Bush ass that this was the best week he could hope for and even said, I shit you not, his "mojo" is back.

Carville responded with "this is the biggest 1% increase in ratings in the history of the nation. If Bush was at 40% Norah O'Donnell would be leading a parade."


:rofl:

:rofl:

[qanda]

1. Bwahahahahahaha

I'm sorry I missed that-- It's hilarious.

[Bluebear]

2. It's a Media Mojofest!

[ladjf]

25. They have been beating the "mojo drum" 24 X 7.

All that has happened is that one guy was killed and another cleared from being indicted.

[liberal N proud]

3. I would love to have seen him smack her down on that

All the whores are beside themselves over their emperor's new clothes.

[6000eliot]

4. "Hurray! He's not stupid or incompetent anymore!"

It's like the media was waiting for one mildly positive thing to happen so that they could get down on their knees in front of him again. ABC even ran a positive interview with blowhole Rove this morning. Ewwww!

[itzamirakul]

5. I can't help but wonder if Campbell Brown even KNOWS what a

mojo is, where it comes from, or how it works. If she did know, then she would not be bragging about it WORKING for Bush. If he REALLY had a working mojo, his ratings would be out of the roof right now.

These Republicans can say the most stupid things when they use terminology that comes from another culture that they do not understand in an effort to seem "cool."

[Kber]

6. 'key, I'm always up for a chance to edjumacate myself.

What's the cultural origin of "mojo"?

TIA

[tanyev]

15. It's appalling that someone who bears a large part of the

responsibility for the death and destruction of New Orleans is bragging about having mojo.

Mojo
Mojo is from Black English, first recorded in the mid-1920s. It is common throughout the South. The earliest recorded usages are in reference to the blues and jazz music. The meaning has always been magic, charm, or amulet or more broadly the power and influence derived from such a supernatural source.

It is probably African in origin. Gullah (the dialect of the South Carolina Atlantic islands) has the word moco meaning witchcraft or magic. And the Fulani language of Africa has the word moco'o meaning a shaman.

23. Well, isn't modern usage in the Austin Powers vein? Sexual prowess?

Could be he got his mojo workin' with Kindasleazy!

[CatWoman]

26. this is a Mojo. Glad to see Bush got it back

:rofl:

[riona]

7. NBC nightly news

and the Today Show both need a reality check.

[Roland99]

8. After that response from Carville, Campbell goes into poll defense mode

She tried to interrupt Carville a couple of times and then she finally said (paraphrasing)

Well, the poll came out after Zarqawi's death but before Rove was cleared of the indictment and before *'s trip to Iraq.

Carville comes back with something like, Oh, well that's great the President's closest advisor wasn't indicted.



It's like watching Fox and Friends in the morning now on NBC.

9. Isn't that odd that Blitzer would use the term "mojo" too!

See:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x1427721

The talking points memo was sent by Rove, recieved, and being used by the RW flacks.

[Roland99]

10. Has anyone heard the AM radio talking heads using it yet?

[Liberal In Texas]

14. I can't listen to them for more then about 2 minutes, so don't know. n/t

[HeeBGBz]

11. You mean the Mofo's back?

Couldn't lock the borders to keep him in IRack?

[maxrandb]

12. I weep for my country!

Considering the death and destruction that is going on all around them, the MSM reaches deep into their emotional core to search for the right words to describe the heart-wrenching, desperate, important, challenging current events of our time

and comes up with a line from the movie "Austin Powers, The Spy Who Shagged Me"

The dumbing down of America is complete.

Could you imagine Walter Conkrite getting that devistating news from Dallas, turning to the camera and saying; "well, America has just lost it's Mo-Jo"?

[underpants]

20. It is getting weird out there- CNN this morning on the House blabfest

"What will be the political ramifications for the Democrats?"

Seriously. I am not kidding.

[OregonBlue]

13. I wish ALL liberal blogs would start referring to these guys as

REPEATERS!! It would eventually catch on.

[annabanana]

17. yeah, like when that pastrami sandwich REPEATS on you

that kind of "repeater"

[OregonBlue]

24. I love it. You're right, they are just regurgitating the message!!

[Zynx]

16. Mojo? What is he, a witch doctor?

[BlooInBloo]

18. SNAP!

[BlooInBloo]

19. I'm sure that's a great comfort to the 1000s of familiers of the dead.

[underpants]

21. Mrs. Dan Senor

[City Lights]

27. Yup. Exactly what I was thinking.

Campbell Senor, AKA Bush ass kisser.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

22. Blitzer said this yesterday. They are being scripted with GOP talking

points. Our "press" has been totally hijacked.

[unc70]

28. They started using it May 30 - NYT, DJ newswires

Their organized use of "mojo" is first attributed to Josh Bolten in various articles, apparently originating (big surprise!) with the NY Times article which was picked up elsewhere the followoing day.

NYT article at another site:

http://freeinternetpress.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=7063

Dow Jones Newswire version:

http://wiadomosci.onet.pl/1331475,10,1,0,120,686,item.html

These uses are buried down a bit in the article, standard procedure when building buzz to support talking points.

This week (following Zarqawi's conveniently-timed murder, Camp David photo-op, Bush trip to Iraq), right on cue we get Larry Kudlows laying it all out - "Bush Regains His Mojo" -- and lots of exactly the same.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/realclearpolitics/20060614/cm_rcp/bush_regains_his_mojo_by_larry

I don't have time to track if further.

Most of the other use of "mojo" is in connection with sports or marketing, but of course this is marketing.
