Author Dave Eggers’ “90 Days, 90 Reasons,” an online collection of mini-essays by the famous and semi-famous celebrating the presidency of Barack Obama, may be even more insufferable than it sounds.
Our friend Mike Riggs has already done a solid job cataloging some of the propaganda website’s most cringeworthy moments, but given the amount of just godawful content over there, we thought we’d step in to help raise awareness of this self-righteous monster of a project’s greatest hits.
Here now are the 10 worst moments of “90 Days, 90 Reasons,” perhaps the best reason we’ve seen to vote Republican in 2012.
Jesse Eisenberg
Jesse Eisenberg’s post arguing that Obama is great because he likes to travel is marvelously out of touch. Best line: “I’m travelling through Mongolia and currently staying in a yurt.”
Jim James
“My Morning Jacket” singer Jim James’ post is called “Barack Obama is not a robot”, and while most celebrities at least try to make an argument, James just tells the story of the time he met the president. Best line: “It was FREEZING cold outside but obviously everyone was excited at the prospect of meeting the PREZ.”
Elizabeth Gilbert
"Eat Pray Love" author Elizabeth Gilbert’s love letter to/statist rant in favor of President Obama is equal parts nutty and gross. Best line: “Look to your leader, and emulate his behavior.”
