Republicans Kind of Suck … Which Is Why They Will Win Huge in November

"Republicans Kind of Suck … Which Is Why They Will Win Huge in November"

"So the Republicans kinda suck, and that’s why they’re going to win huge this November. Because in the land of epic, mega, ultra, apocalyptic levels of sucking, those who kinda suck are king. Or at least are going to win in a landslide."

This article reminds me very much of my review of Game of Pleasure, in which I argued that we need to distinguish between the degrees of suckeration. Is it fair to say that Cher's singing sucks, when this is the same way you would describe Yoko Ono's singing? Of course not. So I therefore proposed four degrees of suckeration.

I described Bill Shatner, my personal hero, as follows: "As a singer, he's not only guilty of fourth degree suckeration, but he could actually be in the fifth degree, since he pretty much sucks deeper and harder than anybody has ever sucked in the history of music. If the recordings of Shatner did not exist, we simply could not conceive of anything that bad. In a sense, ol' Kirk, as much as Newton and Freud, stretched the very boundaries of human conceptualization."

In a similar vein, the linked article says, "So the Democrats sucked. But not just plain old, usual politician sucked, but epic levels of suck where it’s hard to find an analogue in human history that conveys the same level of suckitude. We’re talking sucking that distorts time and space like a black hole. The Democrats have been so awful, it’s hard for the human brain to even comprehend"

Yup. Very similar points!
