Presidential Geek Survey Diary – Day 73

Hillary Clinton accused General Petraeus of weaving an award winning work of fantasy with his anticipated Senate testimony when she said to him, “I think that the reports that you provide to us really require a willing suspension of disbelief.”

Rudy Giuliani
has a problem with that.

“I don’t know what she’s trying to say when she’s accusing a general of the “willing suspension of disbelief,” Giuliani said.

It’s quite simple, Rudes. Willing suspension of disbelief happens when an otherwise intelligent audience agrees to accept something fantastic as the truth in a work of fiction, even if it contradicts what they know to be reality. For instance, we know a man can’t fly, but we don’t accuse Superman of being unrealistic.

Unless, of course, the reader is an imagination deficient git. In which case, a pox on him!

Do you like Superman, Rudes? If not him, then is there another superhero that you think is just awesome? We don’t know, Rudes, because you haven’t responded to the Geek Survey.

Batman - Jim LeeI’ll bet you’re a Batman kind of guy. The similarities are uncanny. Joe Chill (al-Qaeda) gunned down your loved ones (the Twin Towers) in a mindless act of violence that defined your life (your presidential campaign). Now, you run around on rooftops (early primary states) fighting crime (Democrats and Fred Thompson, from the GOP perspective) to make a better world (a world with you a President).

All you need now
is a cape. Maybe you could respond to the Geek Survey while you’re having that hemmed.

Score
Capes: 1 Geeks: 0

Lisa Fary's earliest influences are Princess Leia, Rainbow Bright, Astronaut Barbie, and her 6th grade teacher, Ms. Palmer. She's angry that it's 2011 and she still doesn't have a hovercraft, but will accept a jetpack as consolation. That jetpack had better be pink with a rhinestone monogram.

    Because anything more gets in the way of fighting evil and snuggling up to Vicki Vale.
