Soy un perdidor
I see Maha is a bit upset that Ed Rogers “called Carter a loser”:http://www.mahablog.com/2006/11/29/civil-discourse/ on Harball. I take it she finds Rogers tone of voice irritating.
To be fair, Carter did lose an election; and his polices were not particularly popular. On the other hand, I don’t think Carter fits the classic loser mold. Let’s compare just some of Carter’s honors to attributes from Beck’s first hit.
|Carter|Loser|
|Governor of Georgia|Has a couple of couches|
|President, USA|Sleeps on the love-seat|
|Nobel Peace Prize (2002)|Monkey (time of Chimpanzees)|
|Presidential Medal of Freedom|Gets crazy with the cheese whiz|
|18 Honorary Doctorates|Shaves his face with mace in the dark|
|World Methodist Peace Award|Is out to cut the junkie|
|Great Cross of the Order of Vasco Nunéz de Balboa|Has butane in his veins|
|United Nations Human Rights Award|Baby’s in Reno with the vitamin D|
|Rotary Award for World Understanding|Saves all his food stamps|
|United Nations Human Rights Award|Burns down the trailer park|
If Carter makes it under the “loser” bar, my guess is it’s set far too high.
