Obama’s Skeleton in the Closet
“Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though.“
When JFK was young he wrote While England Slept and later Profiles in Courage. Today’s darling of the smart set Barack Obama clearly published this with little thought of perish.
Bill Clinton’s “I never inhaled” certainly encapsulated his relative morality past, present and future. Does Barack offer us the same glimpse of Future Obama with this statement?
In any case Barack now seems intent on squealing like a schoolgirl stuck in an elevator with Justin Timberlake every time somebody alludes to his own published words. My advice, suck it up Obama. You talked the talk, now walk the walk.
Hillary Wins Meaningless Michigan
Nothing like winning a primary that has no delegates. By a margin of 19% of the votes Hillary Clinton beat uncommitted 57% to 38%. Which calls into question whether she’s electable or not. Since the Clinton-Barrack-Edwards Express bypassed Michigan there’s a good possibility had uncommitted spent more on advertising it might have won the primary.
Romneymania!
Mitt Romney’s victory speech in Michigan was so lame it couldn’t beat a one legged mule in a tap dancing contest. Romney outspent McCain for what is effectively a last hurrah for both of them. Giuliani and Thompson will make short work of both of them in South Carolina and Florida. The “bounce” won’t mean a thing south of the Mason Dixon line.
Uncommitted Beats Kucinich by 32%
The mad bomber of the Democratic Party spent the entire day getting pummeled by reality. First victory turned to defeat when the Nevada Supreme Court smacked down his appeal like a gnat to go on an MSNBC televised debate then the uncommitted vote beat him 36% to 4% in Michigan. The fat lady’s singing your song Dennis.
No Pain No McCain
John McCain is Bob Dole. Dole was the wrong candidate in 1996 because “It’s my turn” wasn’t good enough and that’s McCain’s raison d’être in 2008. McCain will not last a second after any of his opponents in the primary remind Republican voters McCain was offered and considered being John Fitzdoodle Kerry’s running mate against George Bush in 2004 on the Democratic Party ticket. Unforgivable.
Huckabee Gets Tough
Mike Huckabee says we should stop issuing visa’s to people from states that sponsor terrorists. Wow. That’s telling it like it is. What kind of Profile in Courage stance is that? It’s like saying you’re against poverty or crime. No kidding. What a bunch of two-bit dim bulbs. I’m embarrassed at what passes for a presidential candidate. This must be what voters felt like right before they got to elect Millard Fillmore.
