The Freeway Blogger Sings!

Share article:

Says the Freeway Blogger in a note to The BRAD BLOG about his new flash video/song: “It’s full effect as a propaganda device will become apparent an hour or two after first viewing. You’ll see.”

And, as usual, he was right!

    Wow! Unwatchable, unlistenable. Couldn’t get through it. Political art is a lot harder to make than political comment. Awful. Don’t quit your freeway job.

    Well, it’s obvious that Pygmy either watched the SOTU by accident, or is a great straightman in a comedy routine.

    The video was great.

    Thanks for helping to spread it around. I’d seen the first ref to it over at AmericaBlog, and was hoping it would start showing up in more spots.

    Another important story not making the MSM, and which freeway blogging may help, is the story of what happened during the 12 hours heads up given to the White House about the Plame leak investigation.

    They deleted emails and may have even shredded documents (link here).

    The neoCons will do anything … so long as it is dumb, wrong, criminal, or a cover-up.

    Excellent!
    But isn’t the Freeway Blogger a ‘she’? Isn’t her name Scarlet? Not that it matters alot, but still.

    I watched this last night when KestrelBrighteyes posted it. Went to bed right afterwards and couldn’t get to sleep. Kept seeing those dancing hoodies!

    LOL

    Something must be wrong with me. While it is a comical spoof, I found myself crying.

    Maybe it’s because this song was used before with real soldiers making fun of their "vacation spot". I could still see their smiling faces — overlaid upon the futility of it all.

    Joan – While I can’t disclose too much about Freeway Blogger’s identity, I can confirm that he is most definitely a he. While he does use the monicker Scarlet P. from time to time, it’s short for Scarlet Pimpernel (a literary allusion of which I’m sure resident BRAD BLOG historian/literate RLM will be happy to elucidate 🙂

    For further proof of Freeway’s manliness, I’d direct you to a BRAD SHOW interview with the Mysterious and Legendary One from 6/11/05.

    The MP3 of that rather entertaining interview is right here.
