The Really: Calling somebody “Hitler” is like the new swear word?

It’s all over the news; not just the bloggy news either.  No, not President Hitler talking to the Wall Street Storm Troopers in New York. Not, Hitler-loving Elton John trying to adopt a Stalinist baby from the Ukraine. Not the Republicans very own Joseph “Goebbels” Wilson who will not, I repeat will not, apologize anymore for being a member of the party.  No, the top story of the day is Kanye “Notorious Big Hitler” West grabbing the microphone from Taylor “Perfect Vision of Aryan Beauty” Swift at the disastrous Radio City Music Hall Putsch last night.

Where you once thought you would find careful analysis of Lady “Lil’ Wagner” Gagadammerung’s reworking of all Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musicals in one five minute segment in your favorite media, instead, the headlines scream “Ach Nein! Kanye!”  Megan “Yeah, My Shirt Is Brown What’s It To You?” Fox held the record for two days for stretching the once most hated name in Western Civilization to a throw-away line at Michael “Triumph Of the Will” Bay.

You know who is to blame? Hillbillies. Yes, people who live in the rural parts of our great nation that we do not go to for any reason, well at least not on purpose. People who skipped school and can’t afford all the cable channels. People who started this “President Hitler” thing. People who have equated one of the great mass murderers in history with anyone, and I mean anyone, who “tells them what to do.” I can only imagine what traffic cops are putting up with all across our great stupid land when they hand out a warning ticket: “Yeah, thanks there, Officer. I will have to remember we have speed limits on our autobahn. Hiel Hitler!” Or, when flight attendants tell people to turn off their cell phones, ” Yah, Reichsmarschall Goering turning off my cell phone right now after I tell Goober that I had to pay three extra bag charges. What a bunch of Hitlers!”

I guess the “…you are so Hitler!” trend will fade away but I just remember how long it took for people to stop saying “Git her done!” even ironically.

A Romanian National was caught trying to pawn what is believed to be a Golden Bookmark that was given to Adolf Hitler by his longtime mistress, Eva Braun. The bookmark was stolen from an auction house some six years ago and showed up at a Seattle Starbucks Wednesday! Go figure. I didn’t know that Seattle was big on Hitler artifacts but after all, they did construct that god forsaken EMP Theater so who knows what those Latte sippin, NPR listening, WTO riot starting, business casual at a funeral wearing people are into. But I digress…
