Respect Authority

Indiana, a state of gun toting ignorant technophiles, has a law barring the use of robocalls. So in order to defend the formerly reliable Republican state, McCain and the RNC were forced to employ a telemarking service called Americall to do their dirty work.

Well, turns out that humans still have more decency than robots and Rudy Guiliani combined. Between thirty and forty telemarketers walked off their job yesterday in protest of the anti-Obama script they were given to read. They weren’t fired but they also weren’t paid the rest of the day, which for someone who’s doing telemarketing work must’ve been a huge financial sacrifice.

I’ve got to say, this moved me [Full Disclosure: I once beat off to this picture]. Telemarketers, the definitive scum of the earth, actually stood up for themselves, for truth, for fairness and decency and said, “Mama, enough is enough”. Traits never before observed in this caste of cold-blooded virtual salespeople.

Breaking news! Rudy Giuliani is still just as disgusting and unlikeable as ever! Granted, being a hypocrite, shameless opportunist, and overall scumbag makes him a perfect candidate for a new RNC robocall issued to voters in swing states.

On the other hand, being generally hated by literally almost everyone makes him a little less than perfect, which I guess would actually make him a perfect fit for the McCain campaign after all! Welcome to the United States Presidential Election 2008, everyone. Believe me, I’m just as confused as you are.

The call attacks Barack Obama for supposedly being soft on street crime and opposing mandatory minimum jail sentences for sex offenders, drug dealers, and murderers. The call, starring Giuliani’s charming lisp, surely resonates highly coming from such a pinnacle of sexual morality.
