Luxury-Liner Liberals: 'Nation' Magazine Hawks Its Cushy Cruise

By Mark Finkelstein | October 20, 2011 | 08:58

A  A

Sure, your heart is in that lovely liberal place.  Even so, you'd like to get away from the "Occupy" hoi-poloi soiling the streets.  No problem!  Just join the luxury-liner liberals of The Nation magazine on their upcoming Caribbean cruise--assuming you have up several thousand bucks [alcohol not included] for you and the lefty you love to share a cabin!

Was watching MSNBC last night, when up popped a Nation commercial.  After the standard stuff ragging on the "toxic nonsense from the right," suddenly a cruise commercial broke out.  Yes, you can sail with Katrina vanden Heuvel, Van Jones and other leftist luminaries aboard a luxury Holland America liner!  Video and more luxury details after the jump!
 

From the promo material linked at The Nation's cruise website:

  • Premium cruising the best in cruise vacations Conde Nast Traveler's top-rated major cruise line.
  • 2011-10-19Nationcruisecommercial.JPGRelax into a world of comfort and easy elegance aboard the ships of Holland America Line.
  • Luxurious living is found in every detail, from the soft caress of a personal bathrobe to fine chocolates on your pillow at night. Staterooms filled with all manner of sophisticated amenities Spacious, elegantly appointed staterooms, many with private verandahs.
  • Luxurious Neiuw-Amsterdam-Top beds and premium linens.
  • Daily housekeeping to tidy belongings and keep staterooms immaculate.
  • Large, extra-fluffy Egyptian cotton towels.
  • Lighted magnifying mirrors; massage shower-heads; salon-quality hair dryers.
  • Luxurious terry cloth bathrobes


Sure, you support the 99%. But why not do so from the comfort of your luxury cabin, surrounded by your fellow liberal 1%ers?  Reserve now!

According to the liberal

Submitted by motherbelt on Thu, 10/20/2011 - 9:08am.

According to the liberal elite there is their capitalism, which is a good thing, and  everyone else's, which is selfish, greedy, and exploitative.

I wonder how much sympathy they have for the maids, waiters, busboys, towel-bringers and laundry people on that cruise ship.

One thing about liberals, they know a thing or two about people's "station" in life!

You mean all of "the little people." Right, MB?

Submitted by Newsbubba on Thu, 10/20/2011 - 10:29am.

Liberals do have a way about them.  They are soooooooo damned smart, therefore they deserve special treatment by the underlings of society.

My sister is a liberal (I'm not proud of it) and constantly refers to "the lowly people" in her life like yard and pool maintenance staff, or house cleaners, and even clerks in stores as "little men" or "little women."

I'm sure you've heard it before; "The little man who cleans my yard ..." even though the guy is 6'4" and weighs 210!  Everytime she does it, I want to slap the living Shiite out of her.  Apparently "little" is a station in life which people who actually work for a living have been assigned by liberals.

They really make me want to puke.

Cruising with Katrina vanden Heuvel?

Submitted by SickofLibs on Thu, 10/20/2011 - 9:57am.

LOL. Sounds more like a sentence meted out by a weird judge.

" ... you can sail with Katrina vanden Heuvel, Van Jones and other leftist luminaries."

I can't even come up with an amount that they would have to pay me to go on THAT cruise.

Maybe if I can get their float plan through the Florida Strait, I can get up an armada of "conservative" boats to carry a few signs out for them to view.  Kind of like an "Occupy the Water" protest?  Just have to watch the huge wake those suckers throw off!

Maybe we could call it the Salt-Tea Party?

Any "Occupying" going on down there, Bubba?

Submitted by Blonde on Thu, 10/20/2011 - 11:55am.

There are 12 freaks in Fort Lauderdale, also a couple up in Palm Beach. I'm thinking of going to photograph them this weekend, I'm out of blog stuff since my Gators have been sucking so badly of late.

You could e-mail me yours.

We have the "usual suspects" that show up every year!

Submitted by Newsbubba on Thu, 10/20/2011 - 12:04pm.

Fantasy Fest is about to crank up, so let the protesting begin.

I'm out of town right now, but when I get back next week, I will take many, many pictures of the protestors for you.

I don't care what they protest as long as they look good in body paint.

Twelve freaks, huh?  I can scare up that many any day of the year in this place, standing on one street corner for five minutes.

Send pictures.

Who y'all going to punish by making them go on this Love Boat cruise to report on the goings on? Don't forget to provide them with Occupy da Boat signs.
