Over on DailyKos, they took the call from Republican Democrat Independent Senator Joe Lieberman to see what the bloggers would have to say about Moses seriously. They listed off some entertaining “comments” about what a Moses election would be like. Just as a disclaimer, I didn’t post this for any political reason but because I got a chuckle out of reading them so hopefully you will too.
Markos Moulitsas: “He promised us snakes would lead to our liberation. Well, Pharaoh’s still in charge. We need More and Better Hebrews!”
Atrios: “Moses said we’d be out of Egypt after one plague. We’re already Nine Plague Units into this with no end in sight.”
Mike Stark: “I am going to go to Pharaoh’s house with a big roll of papyrus to confront him about his former slaves.”
Chris Bowers: “The last three polls all say that Pharaoh’s vulnerable, so I believe Moses can take a more aggressive stand. Praise Joshua and let him know.”
FDL: “Take a look at these stones Miriam just inscribed for us that detail her journey — it’s not getting enough attention. She’ll be here to answer questions in our Tablet Club after sunrise on Sunday.”
Howie Klein: “I’m already running pro-Aaron hieroglyphs in Moses’ camp.”
Matt Stoller: “If Moses doesn’t beseech Hashem to deliver us something other than manna to eat, he should be primaried.”
Big Tent Democrat: “Jethro has too much influence over Moses’ judicial appointments.”
Jeffrey Feldman: “If I’m Aaron, I’d be using this Golden Calf symbol everywhere I could. It’s the icon that coalesces the needs of the Hebrews in the wilderness.”
FiveThirtyEight.com: “I’ve checked out the demographics; look for the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin to make real gains in Moses’ new census.”
Matt Damon: “Matt Damon”
