i really need to let go of this, but...

I think it’s already been established that I’m a cruel, cold, heartless person who enjoys feeling superior even thought I’m well aware I’m the most obnoxious of dorks.
Now that that’s out of the way, get a load of this.
I wrote a sassy little post on SFGate about how I felt mildly dissed at events by political hopefuls Chris Jackson and Mark Sanchez. I haven’t heard a word from Sanchez, but he’s probably just French braiding his mane, and Jackson left a sad comment on my blog…with a link to his website.
You’re campaigning in my comments?
Lame.
So lame, it was hard to let go.
On the hot tip of an anonymous blogger, I went trolling around his Facebook account.
Apparently, Chris Jackson quotes himself in the “Favorite Quotes” section of his profile!
I repeat, he quotes himself!!!
So I cut and paste the quotes in an e-mail to some friends. You know, politicos, bloggers, people who might an enjoy someone actually quoting themselves.

"My best ideas come to me by listening to others"
- Chris Jackson

"Success is not a place nor is it a definition; rather, success is a direction"
- Chris Jackson

"History is not made by those that sit down and meet, History is made by those that stand up and act!"
- Chris Jackson

Then we move into other areas of his profile, bored at work, and looking for pathetic ways to feel better about ourselves. For example, his favorite movies: “My favorite movie of all time is The Color Purple. This movie is about one woman's struggle to over-come an oppressive husband and the oppressive society of the South to reunite the her childhood bestfriend. I've watched this movie over 20 times. My second favorite movie is the Shawshank Redemption which is a movie about hope. Other movies that I like are: Roots, Last of the Mojicans, As Good as it Gets, and Wild Wild West.”

Wild Wild West aside, bitchy e-mail responses included “I love that ‘overcome’ is two words and ‘best friend’ is one word,” "Last of the Mojitos is a great movie!” and “Mamacita has the BEST Mojicans.”

Hee hee hee! Oh US.

We got into his favorite books: "I love all books that discuss progressive politics and political strategies. But my all time favorite book is Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Suess.”
The fact that he is running for College Board was lost on none of us.
I’d created monsters.
Nerdy monsters who looked into HIS quotes.
Um, yeah. Let's look at this one again:

"Success is not a place nor is it a definition; rather, success is a direction"
- Chris Jackson

Oh really, Chris?
Then, uh, what about this:

...Gavin Newsom said. "It's not a zero-sum game,'' he said. "You can't say that once we house those 3,000 people, there'll be no one else. There is no having made it on the homeless policy. Success is not a place or a definition, it's a direction. I want to keep moving forward, move in the right direction, that's how we can define success.''

He ripped off Gavin!!! It's so bad, it's almost fabulous...
