The simple answer is no. But as long as the far left (and yes, some on the right) see Meghan McCain’s rare use of the keffiyeh as fair political game, then the Obama daughters’ abiding love of the Jonas Brothers should be noticed (not dwelled upon, but noticed) as well.

As you can see from the number of comments on and links to my last post, the response was overwhelmingly accusatory, vitriolic and vulgar. So I wanted to clarify a few things. Perhaps I had overestimated the intelligence of my left-wing critics when I failed to spell out in big letters that the final paragraph of my last post was facetious and used hyperbole to make a humorous point. A joke, dare we say. Sadly, one deficit of the blogosphere is that people often react to buzz-words, rather than whole sentences, paragraphs, or - heaven forbid - the context of prior posts on the same blog. Forgive me if I didn’t hyperlink every single reference in the paragraph to something contextual, ironic, or topical (usually my associate Jimmy does that for me). So, without further ado, Jimmy goes to town linking that infamous paragraph:

First Meghan McCain wears a few mis-chosen keffiyehs, and next the Obama girls will be spotted wearing Che Guevara t-shirts. At this rate, it may not matter who wins the election: the Jonas Brothers will play the inaugural ball, Miley Cyrus will be showering in the Lincoln bedroom and Chief Justice Roberts will terror-fist bump whomever he swears in over the Koran. Makes me wish for the days when the Beatles were the biggest threat to national security.
