Egypt Gets Violent, Obama Gets Angry, Networks Get Ratings, I’ll Pop the Popcorn

Posted on | February 2, 2011 | 29 Comments

Let’s start with the basics: When you carry signs and chant slogans, that’s called a “protest.” When you start throwing rocks and molotov cocktails, that’s called a “riot.” So it’s time for the talking heads on TV to stop using terms like “protesters” and “demonstrators” to describe the mob in Cairo.

Furthermore, don’t ever try to lecture me about “racism” for describing what’s happening in a foreign country, or act like I’m morally inferior to you because I don’t share your particular opinion about events.

When the “Arab street” does the same thing in Cairo that we’ve seen them do in Jerusalem and Gaza, it’s not racist to interpret today’s violence in terms of a historic pattern of mob violence. And the fact that you, Mr. Moral Superiority, are cheering for the immediate overthrow of Hosni Mubarak doesn’t make me a thought-criminal for suggesting that maybe we don’t want to be so hasty.

For crying out loud, they were actually swooping down on Tahrir Square on horses and camels! At what point do stereotypes stop being stereotypes and instead become, y’know, facts?

Speaking of ugly stereotypes, here’s the snotty BBC correspondent looking down his nose at uncouth Yanks:

President Barack Obama has suddenly got tough on America’s ally of 30 years. What’s more, he’s abandoned the language of a law professor and adopted the tone of a civil rights leader. He’s made it crystal clear he’s on the side of the street, not the weakened strong man. As mass demonstrations turned into a revolution, under the benign but watchful eye of the army, the White House has been struggling to keep pace. Maybe now Mr Obama has caught up. Just about.

Screw you, limey bastard! If we Americans want to badmouth the president as a naive parvenu who’s gotten in over his head, that’s our right. But we’ll tolerate no such lectures from you Brits.

And, honestly, I thought Obama’s speech Tuesday night was just about right: He made it clear he was angry at Mubarak, but explicitly spoke of the “aftermath of these protests.” In other words: OK, you’ve had your protest rallies, Mubarak’s on his way out, “free and fair elections,” yadda yadda — now go back home and stop distracting us the week before Super Bowl Sunday.

Trust me: The next-to-last thing I want is for Barack Obama to be able to claim credit for a foreign-policy success. But the last thing in the world I want is for Islamic extremists to take over a country with 75 million people and modern military weapons, sitting right next door to Israel — a scenario that could lead to Armageddon.

Also, $4 a gallon for gas. That would be tragic.

So I’m making an exception and siding with Obama here: All you angry dudes in Cairo, go home, sleep with your four wives, chill out with some goat stew, and bet on the Packers to win by three Sunday.

Meanwhile, America wishes to express our gratitude to the Egyptian mob for providing us with such excellent entertainment, especially the pro-Mubarak dude who accidentally caught himself on fire with a molotov cocktail:

Classic! We’re not laughing with you, dude. We’re laughing at you.

VodkaPundit has accused me of turning the snark up to “11,” but I have barely begun to tap the deep well of mean-spirited sarcasm inspired by the Egyptian “revolution.” I mean, please: 600 injuries? You call that a “revolution”? I’ve seen more injuries than that when rednecks started fighting over beer at a ZZ Top concert in 1976.

Jim Geraghty tells me it’s too early to start making jokes at the expense of Anderson Cooper.

So give me another 15 minutes. I needed a smoke break anyway.

UPDATE: Ace of Spades:

There is a pretty good chance that the army winds up siding with Mubarak and crushing the resistance, and then Mubarak installs a puppet replacement as president. That may not be the most likely scenario but I can’t see how it’s not a plausible one.

Well, no duh, Ace: Eric Dondero called that one yesterday. And here’s Reuters via MSNBC with a follow-up:

The fate of Egypt’s pro-democracy movement may rest on the shoulders of the country’s top soldier, who has so far refused to use force against protesters demanding the removal of President Hosni Mubarak.
In a rare balancing act, Lieutenant General Sami Enan, the armed forces chief-of-staff, has won praise from both the United States and a leading member of the banned Muslim Brotherhood, who said he could be an acceptable successor to Mubarak. . . .

Read the whole thing. Enan’s relatively young (61) and there’s a solid pattern: All four Egyptian presidents since independence have been former top army officers. So “meet the new boss,” etc.

Meanwhile, Ace links this spin from Robert “Baghdad Bob” Gibbs:

“‘Now’ means ‘yesterday,'” Gibbs explained. “When we said ‘now,’ we meant ‘yesterday’… that’s what the people of Egypt want to see,” Gibbs said, adding that a process that begins one week, one month, or many months from now won’t suffice.

But we are, after all, talking about a “process.” What does that mean, “a process of transition”? Appoint a committee to study it? Have some meetings to discuss it?

Gibbs is clarifying the when. Instead he needs to clarify the what.

UPDATE II: In a helpful reminder why this blog is called “The Other McCain,” Philip Klein interviews a certain senator from Arizona:

“We’ve seen in past history very well organized fanatical organizations can hijack democracy, whether it be Lenin, or whether it be radical Islamic extremists in Iran,” McCain told me outside the Senate floor when asked about whether he was concerned that the Brotherhood could gain power. “They are an organization with ties to terrorist organizations. They support Sharia law, that alone should be reason not to have them as part of any democratic government. Sharia law is the most abhorrent treatment of women and perversion of the democratic ideals we stand for.”
Yet when I asked him whether the United States should recognize a government that included the Brotherhood, he insisted, “I think the United States should take every step to make sure there is a free and fair and open and transparent election, and that won’t happen.”

See? Johnny Mac repeats that silly mantra, “free and fair and open and transparent election,” in the same way a tribal shaman makes a ritual incantation, supposing that by merely saying the magic words, he can ward off the Evil Eye. This is democracy as a superstition.

UPDATE III: Oh, boy. Allahpundit is calling the pro-Mubarak forces “fascist” and comparing them to “SA” (Sturmabteilung, a/k/a “Brownshirts”), so I guess maybe Godwin’s Law is now in effect.

Let’s start by stipulating what seems to be the unfortunate but self-evident fact: The thugs who descended on Tahrir Square today to beat up anti-Mubarak protesters were organized by the regime and operating with the regime’s approval. In this sense, then, they were like SEIU goons beating up a Tea Party protester, except for the fact that your typical Tea Party protester isn’t associated with the Muslim Brotherhood and doesn’t start ranting about the need to “destroy Israel” the minute a CNN camera crew shows up.

A better analogy is to say that the pro-Mubarak thugs were like the Chicago cops at the 1968 Democratic convention, or the Ohio National Guard at Kent State — which would make the anti-Mubarak protesters analogous to SDS, Yippies and various other smelly peacenik scum of that era.

What I’m trying to say is that the facile comparison “X = Hitler” when discussing a confrontation between X and Y requires us to take a long, hard look at the variable Y in the equation. Depending on what Y represents, we might take a different view of the tactics of X. And this is especially true when X has at its disposal tanks and machine guns that they have not yet used against the unarmed Y.

My admittedly imperfect understanding of the situation in Cairo is that the army told the protesters to disperse, and when the protesters didn’t disperse, then the goon squad showed up and started busting heads.

Such tactics are not something I would endorse or advocate, but then again, I’m not the president of Egypt. Maybe if I was the president of Egypt, I’d do the same thing. (Note the hypothetical, as I’m rather dubious of my prospects of ever becoming president of Egypt.) But who is the better judge of the situation in Egypt: Me, Allahpundit, Nicholas Kristof or Hosni Mubarak?

Which one of us is the Egyptian with the responsibility for the future of his own country? And which one of us has led Egypt during a 30-year period when that nation has been at peace with Israel and an ally of the United States?

Excuse me if I’m too willing to give Mubarak the benefit of the doubt at a time when the popular thing to do is to denounce Mubarak as a hateful tyrant. But I’ve never been much for saying things merely because it was popular to say them.

VIDEO: Christiane Amanpour Starring in ABC’s New Hit TV Show, The Cairo Riots

Posted on | February 2, 2011 | 13 Comments

Following up on my previous description in an update, we see further evidence that the Egyptian situation has turned into a celebrity-journalist festival, with Christiane Amanpour doing riot duty in Cairo:

(Via Hot Air.) Notice the extent to which this story is about Amanpour: Christiane talking, Christiane walking, Christiane the expert on the scene, with the Cairo mob as supporting cast.

It’s show business, you see.

Cynical, much?

In Desperate Bid to End Cairo Violence, Levi Johnston’s Sister Agrees to Pose Nude

Posted on | February 2, 2011 | 17 Comments

State Department sources say the Egyptian rioters have demanded to see Mercede Johnston naked.

Initial attempts by the Obama administration to quell the uprising with Kim Kardashian nude photos led to further negotiations.

While the Muslim Brotherhood had at first insisted that they would not settle for anything less than full frontal Alyssa Milano, U.S. envoys counter-offered with Mercedes Johnston and also agreed to provide Mohamed El-Baradei with a bootleg DVD of outtakes from Natalie Portman’s lesbian sex scene in The Black Swan.

He’s So Much Smarter Than You!

Posted on | February 2, 2011 | 12 Comments

If there is anything I can’t stand, it’s a writer who begins with the presumption that his readers are infinitely ignorant:

In the jargon of the field, this is called “cognitive dissonance” — the psychological mechanism we all use to justify our choices and beliefs and preserve our self-esteem.

That’s from a HuffPo blogger, writing about a study that analyzes how parents reconcile the unpleasant aspects of parenthood with their desire for personal happiness. Smitty in the Kabul bureau e-mailed me the story as blog fodder, and I was brought up short by that phrase, “In the jargon of the field . . .”

Really? I mean, really? Do you really think that someone who owns a computer and has Internet access and uses this technology to search out stories about psychology is so ignorant that they are unfamiliar with the phrase “cognitive dissonance”?

Excuse me for thinking that at least 90% of Huffington Post are college-educated and remember enough of their Psych 101 class to recognize the term. Or else I would suppose that people might grasp the meaning from context and, if they lacked sufficient contextual information to do so, would be prompted to use Google to look it up.

That show-off clause “In the jargon of the field” is just the writer trying to impress us with his own expertise, but I’m probably not the only reader who is insulted by such things.

One of the old-fashioned rules of journalism, of course, is that a news story must be self-explanatory and comprehensible to the average reader, who is imagined to have a sixth-grade literacy level. So when you’re writing a newspaper article about the House passing a bill, you find some way to fit into the story the fact that the bill must be approved by the Senate and signed by the President before actually becoming a law. But you don’t do this clumsily, as if instructing a child; rather, you work this explanatory material into the article smoothly, so that it doesn’t obtrude in the reader’s mind as you telling him something that he obviously should already know.

The HuffPo writer’s show-offy explanation is a thumb in the reader’s eye: “I know this ‘jargon of the field’ and you don’t, you morons!”

Furthermore, as those of you who remember your Psych 101 have been screaming for the past six paragraphs, the HuffPo writer got the definition wrong!

Cognitive dissonance is not a “defense mechanism.” Rather, cognitive dissonance is the ordinary feedback mismatch between our self-concept and reality. Defense mechanisms are the mind-games we play with ourselves to resolve cognitive dissonance, to wit:

Everyone likes to think of themselves as physically attractive, yet most people are no more than average looks-wise, and some of us are decidedly below average. Therefore, the aethetically challenged are likely to overinterpret a smile from a stranger — “Hey, that chick really digs me!” — and to interpret rejection as motivated by something other than their deficiency of attractiveness.

(Thus the popularity of feminism among ugly women, who convince themselves that men aren’t interested in them because men are “intimidated by strong women.” And thus also attractive women’s instinctive standoffishness toward geeky guys; attractive women learn early in life to recognize the kind of dweebs who routinely misinterpret mere courtesy as a signal of romantic interest.)

Our attempts to block out negative feedback, to protect our self-esteem through rationalizing mind-games, are all defense mechanisms, our means of coping with cognitive dissonance, rather than cognitive dissonance itself, as the HuffPo writer wrongly informs the readers whom he insults.

Did you notice that I just insulted dweebs and feminists? I did that on purpose, consciously and specfically, which is how insults should be made. The HuffPo writer, by contrast, accidentally and casually insults every reader who is intelligent enough to realize he’s being talked down to. What kind of person would do such a thing?

Wray Herbert, Award-Winning Journalist! Well, listen up, pal: In the jargon of the field, this is what we call “the blogosphere,” and we’re not impressed by your awards. Paul Krugman has a Ph.D. and a Nobel Prize, and we slap Krugman around on a daily basis just for the fun of it.

Oh, and I’m also an “award-winning journalist,” which proves — if it proves anything at all — that journalism awards are a dime a dozen. Hell, I’d probably be using journalism awards for doorstops and paperweights if it wasn’t for the fact that I’ve never had much appetite for wasting the time it takes to fill out those silly application forms.

Let me further point out, for the benefit of Wray Herbert and any other Award-Winning Journalists who are thinking about trying their hand at this blogging stuff, that in the jargon of the field, this is what we call “the Internet.” People who use the Internet don’t just randomly find stories they aren’t capable of figuring out on their own.

So this Award-Winning-Journalist attitude that assumes readers are ignorant clodhoppers won’t get you too far as a blogger. It makes a lot more sense to think that your readers arrive at any given subject with a basic familiarity, and aren’t in need of any lectures about stuff that is (or should be) well-known by the typical college sophomore.

And one more thing, Wray Herbert: The fact that you won some journalism awards doesn’t mean that people actually like you. In fact, the other bloggers at HuffPo — the really hip ones, the popular bloggers with lots of traffic who get invited to VIP parties with Arianna — are almost certainly laughing at you behind your back.

(That’s what we call “suggestion,” in the jargon of the field.)

Crisis in Cairo Continues: Egyptians Ignore Obama, Resort to Violence

Posted on | February 2, 2011 | 39 Comments

The magic words of President Obama’s speech apparently failed to pacify the Egyptian masses and — as of 5 p.m. in Cairo (10 a.m. ET) — the crowds in Tahrir Square were fighting with sticks and stones.

As much as I’d like to spend today blogging about domestic politics — and Kim Kardashian’s nude photos — it looks like those dimwit protesters are going to require me to pay attention to them again.

Don’t the idiots in Egypt know that when the Community Organizer says “the aftermath of these protests,” that means it’s time to stop protesting?

UPDATE: Hope and Change via Twitter:

Anderson Cooper punched 10 times in the head as pro-Mubarak mob surrounds him and his crew at Cairo rally – CNN manager

Just so you know, I blame NBC for sending Brian Williams to Cairo. When the No. 1 U.S. network anchor comes to town, Middle Eastern custom requires that the “Arab street” throw a riot in his honor.

UPDATE II: Conservatives for America was on this story early:

Army tanks seen moving as protesters confront one another; Egyptian military calls for end of protests: “Your message has arrived, your demands known.”

It appears that the pro-Mubarak forces took his speech Tuesday night as a signal to get out in the street and start whuppin’ some butts:

Allahpundit asks:

What’s the White House going to say about Mubarak rolling out his goon squad to clear the Square? Are we still in “orderly transition” mode, or is it now time for “Mubarak must go”?

We don’t know the answer to those questions. Nor do we know how Markos Moulitsas plans to blame this riot on Sarah Palin.

UPDATE III: CNN reports:

Supporters of Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak flooded into Cairo’s Tahrir Square Wednesday after the president’s opponents dominated the scene for more than a week.
Separated at first by barriers, the rival demonstrators exchanged insults, then began throwing anything they could find at each other, including shoes, rocks and sticks.
Suddenly the barriers came down. People surged toward each other in a chaotic scene that conjured images of a revolution.
Some injured protesters fell. Others stumbled through the crowd. Blood streamed down the faces of the injured.
Many of the injuries were serious, even though demonstrators wrapped sweatshirts and other clothes around their heads to protect themselves from flying stones.

Note the wishful-thinking aspect of the phrase “a chaotic scene that conjured images of a revolution.” The reporter who wrote that is trying to project onto this riot — which is, so far as we can see, merely a riot — a world-historical significance, as if he were reporting from St. Petersburg in 1917.

UPDATE IV: Doug Mataconis:

It’s been a surreal scene unfolding this morning, perhaps most of all being the images of “pro-Mubarak forces” storming into Tahir Square on horse and camel back . . .

Yeah, they’re riding camels. Way to fight back against those stereotypes, you guys.

UPDATE V: In Desperate Bid to End Cairo Violence, Levi Johnston’s Sister Agrees to Pose Nude

UPDATE VI: Speaking of photos you don’t want to see, images of the rioting mob in Cairo prompt Stephen Green’s rumination:

This picture from today’s Wall Street Journal reminded me that this is what you don’t get, when you have regular elections with honest results — and a resulting government which responds to the people’s wishes.
And then I thought back to the President’s State of the Union address last week and went: Uh-oh.

BTW, please excuse my sarcasm toward today’s riots. For nearly a week, American pundits kept looking at the Egyptian unrest through the prism of “What Does This Mean for Obama?”

It was obvious that the MSM wanted this story to be about Obama, so when the president jumped into this situation, made himself the protagonist of the drama, and then gave his big speech Tuesday night, my reaction was, “OK, that’s it. The Bringer of Light hath spoken, and now we have peace.”

Then I turned my TV to MSNBC this morning and saw the “Morning Joe” crew breathlessly hyping up the Cairo riot and said to myself, “Wait a minute? Why are these guys acting so enthusiastic about deadly violence?”

At which point I realized that NBC had flown its anchor, Brian Williams, to the scene and the network didn’t want the unrest to end before they’d gotten a big ratings boost out of it — and the 24/7 coverage is making it worse. The rioters wouldn’t be rioting if the TV news cameras weren’t there to broadcast the whole thing live. This is like American Idol auditions for jihadis, and now every two-bit student radical in Egypt is trying to get his 15 minutes of fame.

Lights! Camera! Molotov cocktails!

Buerkle in the Crosshairs

Posted on | February 2, 2011 | 2 Comments

Ann Marie Buerkle is one of 19 GOP House members targeted by a new Democrat attack ad.

Wait a minute: Didn’t we just get lectured that it was inflammatory and irresponsible to use violence-inspiring terms like “target” about members of Congress? Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters:

I guess it’s okay to do this 23 days after Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) was shot, but it was completely inappropriate for Sarah Palin to do virtually the exact same thing months before last year’s midterm elections.

Remember: You should never accuse liberals of not having any standards. They’ve got exactly two standards: One for them and one for everybody else.

At any rate, this early round of attack ads signals that the 2012 campaign is already underway, and I urge you to go contribute to help re-elect Ann Marie Buerkle now. Every $20 or $50 helps.

Now That Obama Has Saved Egypt From Disaster, It’s Time to Blog About Charlie Sheen and Other Screwed-Up Celebrities UPDATE: Justin Bieber Video Added!

Posted on | February 1, 2011 | 16 Comments

Today, I put up five posts — totalling more than 2,500 words, with four videos, two photos and 52 links — about the crisis in Egypt. I actually forced myself to watch both MSNBC and Al-Jazeera in order to bring you guys complete coverage:

  1. Egypt: Crisis Averted? Obama’s Speech: Transition ‘Must Begin Now’
  2. Army Chief Lt. Gen. Sami Enan Likely Mubarak Successor, Says French Report
  3. ‘The Euphoria Is Fading’
  4.  Massive New Protests in Egypt
  5.  Egyptian Mob Explains That ‘Freedom’ Means ‘We Got to Destroy Israel’

Frankly, I’m all Egypted-out. If President Obama’s foreign-policy genius doesn’t end this mess pretty soon, I’m going start shaking the tip-jar so I can fly off to Hollywood to join Charlie Sheen in rehab. (Or maybe some hookers and cocaine, if Charlie’s in the mood for a relapse by the time I get there.) And speaking of Charlie Sheen, 22-year-old porn star Kacey Jordan describes sex with the CBS star:

“It was OK. . . . It didn’t last very long .. . . It was a three-minute ordeal.”

Some of you ladies may not be impressed, but wait — there’s more!

“After sex we just sat in bed and he held on to me. . . . He promised me he’d get me a Bentley.”

Admit it, ladies: Any sex with that ends with “I’ll buy you a Bentley” is good sex. But there are limits, even for the biggest star on TV, and folks are worried that  Charlie’s going to spend all his money that way:

Charlie Sheen’s family is growing increasingly concerned about his well being, and is quietly discussing going to court to gain conservatorship over him, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.
A source tells us: “Charlie looks awful… he is very, very depressed and feels like the world is going against him. Charlie’s parents are discussing getting a conservatorship of their son. Martin and Janet know that it’s highly unlikely their petition would be granted, but they are trying to do whatever possible to save Charlie’s life.”

Also, to keep him from buying Bentleys for every porn star in Hollywood. Thanks to Obama’s brilliant diplomacy, we’re now able to worry about Charlie’s problems again, and also Lindsay Lohan partying until 3 a.m. We can worry about J-Lo being jealous of Steven Tyler on American Idol. And we could worry about Jamie Pressly getting busted for DUI, if only we could remember why Jaime Pressly is supposed to be a “celebrity.”

See? Now that Obama has brought peace and stability to the Middle East, it’s safe to forget about Egypt and Hosni Mubarak and the Muslim Brotherhood and worry about stuff that’s really important. And what could possibly be more important than Kim Kardashian showing her naked booty? Read more
