Hardball-sy…Reader-style

We alerted readers last week to Hardball’s Shazzam!-like writing style in their daily email briefings. Their opener was:

Watching Hardball tonight, you’ll be so inside President Bush’s head that you’ll think you’re in an Isaac Asimov novel.

We asked readers for some other potential openers that were along the same lines as the one above and we’ve gotten some great submissions. Keep sending them in to fishbowl AT mediabistro DOT com

Watch Hardball tonight, we’ll be bashing Bush so hard tonight that Dick Cheney will get a concussion.

Your psyche will be so ravaged by the tacit implications of President Bush’s domestic agenda that you’ll long for your eleventh-grade book reports on the context of the socialist realism of Theodore Dreiser and Upton Sinclair. (Gee, isn’t someone feeling smart today?)

You’ll bond so much with Bush it’ll be like he’s your pledgemaster at DKE hell week and you’ll be first in line when W announces it’s time for the elephant walk”

Keep ‘em coming…
