The Gift That Keeps Giving
Following the back-and-forth accusations of race-baiting between the Obama Campaign and Bill Clinton campaigning on behalf of himself, Clinton was credibly quoted as saying that Senator Obama "Will have to kiss my ass" before he gets any support from him.
Obama kissed his wife instead:
That was consummate poetic justice.
I will always be grateful to Senator Obama for his standing up to the Clinton Machine, and beating it.
And now that.
Thank you, senator.
Obama vs. Clinton was much more a David & Goliath story than a Cinderella one (although elements of that tale resonate strongly in the Obama phenomenon), but it's not over yet.
Obama got his expected, post-convention bounce, but it's all downhill after St. Paul.
The country is going to love Sarah Palin, Madame Governor of the Great State of Alaska.
And it's going to become apparent that in Mac we have an older "Maverick" (played by Tom Cruise) from the 1986 move Top Gun.
Then there's--*GULP*--the Town Hall debates.
Perhaps Biden can share some of his secrets on how he overcame stuttering with "Ah-Ah-Oh-Ah-Ah-Uh-Uh" Obama before then.
Maybe they'll take advantage of his big ears by hiding a microphone in one of them and whisper stuff (while he stalls by stuttering until he gets the full instruction).
I highly doubt, though, that the MSM will devote any time--this time--to investigating any pictures of Obama's backside that hint at the outline of a wire.
And you can count on an October Surprise or two (if not three or four) hogging the headlines during the home stretch.
And then there's the Clintons.
Will they lay low and be quiet but be accused in endless editorials about not wanting Obama to win by their silence?
Or will they try TOO DAMN HARD to "prove" that they want Obama to win?
Either scenario, I'm afraid, will only spell trouble for the Hope and Changer.
Those bones he tossed to them at the convention aren't nearly enough incentive to get them fully aboard--and behind-- his candidacy.
It would've helped if he decided to pay off the massive debt Hillary accrued trying to beat him, as she shamelessly tin-cupped him for.
I heartedly applaud him for apparently rubbing his finger and thumb together (i.e. playing the World's Smallest Violin for them) in response to that, but make no mistake: Billary is going to make him pay, one way or another.
Billary is the Frankenstein monster the Democrats themselves created, and, as in the story, it's going to turn on its maker if it doesn't get its way.

Perfect October surprise: Palin's 17 year old daughter gives birth out of wedlock. I await your response once the RNC puts out its talking points.
What's your problem? It's not like she had an abortion.
Oh, sorry. Did you guys change the platform again? Moderate on climate change. Moderate on drilling on ANWR. Pre-marital sex now is okay. What a great example for our kids, why can't I have sex? The VPs kids are!!!
Nope, she didn't have an abortion. But funny how they won't release the name of the father. Isn't sex with a minor a felony anymore?
Apparently thats the new RNC response. "What's your problem?"
That's from Daily Kos (p-tooey).
I'd love to protest "But it was just a blowjob!" but conservatives like the real deal.
And if she's anywhere near as hot as her mom, well, you know, it was bound to happen sooner rather than later.
After all, boys will be boys.
I'd explain the birds and the bees to you, but I'm busy watching O'Reilly right now.
Just say no, k? It's best if you and your significant other are--first and foremost--of the opposite genders. You also must truly love each other, and are bound in Holy Matrimony in a House of God, as officiated by a clergyman.
Only then will God smile down upon the humping honeymooners, like this: :)
Just remember, however, that the natural outcome of sanctified sexual intercourse--The Blessed Child--must be baptized and purified soon after birth because it was "conceived in sin," i.e. by sex.
I don't expect you to understand the contradiction, as it's part of the proverbial "Mysteries of the Ways of God" stuff(that you're not supposed to pry into, anyway, Chaucerian *pryvetee* and what-not), or to behave like a first-rate gentleman, so you just make sure you wear a condom, 'k?
And if it fails and you knock her up, be a man, for chrissakes.
Now be quiet. Laura Ingraham is on.
As a longtime McCain supporter - I am saddened by the Palin pick. It was a mistake.
As Charlie Cook noted recently, his friend's son had more interviews to become a waiter (3 interviews) at Rub Tuesday than the one interview McCain gave Palin.
Another thing - Palin probably smoked to much pot growing up - if she's like a typical Alaskan.
Glad to see she admits (unlike Clinton).
re Palin's coming grandaughter.
As a pro lifer, I'm glad the daughter is having the baby. The typical corporate GOP thing to do is to abort and then pretend to pro life during the campaign.
But I doubt that will help McCain in the campaign.
McCain made the mistake of bragging to reporters in 2000 (when I supported him) of his youthful life of sin. So there may be some abortions in his backround. Maybe Arianna will break the news.
"And if she's anywhere near as hot as her mom ..."
I'll give you that John - Palin is sexy as hell/
She's the MILF-In-Chief
Note - the phrase "conceived in sin" does not traditionally mean sex. It means "original sin."
I guess you are a protestant - Many protestants mistake the "immaculate conception" in Catholicism with "virgin birth."
It's actually something different.
In Catholicism - the immaculate conception has nothing to do with sex. It's about original sin.
The conception they refer to is different than biological conception (sperm meets egg) - Rather, it takes place in utero/
"As a longtime McCain supporter..."
With "longtime supporters" like you, anonymous, who neds dissidents?
And aren't you the same anonymous who "prophetically" uttered that McCain would die in office and be succeeded by his "true godly man" vice president?
Who's your idea of a "true godly man?"
Romney? Leiberman?
Anyway, you were WRONG.
Your comparing Hillary to Cindarella is obtuse - Not only is Obama unlike the villain, Hillary is unsympathetic to be Cindarella - Maybe it works only if you were being perverse and reversing the genders.
"And aren't you the same anonymous who "prophetically" uttered that McCain would die in office and be succeeded by his "true godly man" vice president?"
No - I am not the same anonymouse as that - and I have no idea what you are talking about.
You have an option to chose "anonymous" on your blog - Obviously several people chose it. When I posted, I saw other anonymous comments besides me.
Maybe you should stop allowing anonymous comments if you are gonna lump them all together/
"As a longtime McCain supporter..."
With "longtime supporters" like you, anonymous, who neds dissidents?"
You're a phony John - I was a supporter for McCain when you were denouncing him on your blog - I sent him cash during the primaries and voted for him and you were denouncing him,
Now you pretend otherwise - please.
If Palin's daughter is pregnant it meants that Palin's DAUGHTER was up to no good...NOT PALN!! Even the best of parents have kids who do the "no-no".
Some parents would have tried to simply shove it under a rug (ie, abortion) but this is not what Palin is about.
Just as John says, it's not like she had an abortion. That would have required, in some states, for the parent to give approval.
My own parents, conservative, right wing parents, had two daughters who got themselves pregnant out of wedlock. One gave the baby up for adoption. The other married the father.
Unfortunately, parents can't control everything their kids do. Sometimes their kids make mistakes.
As for anonymous...if you don't want to get lumped with all the other anonymous' out there...perhaps you could write in a name such as, "I don't want anyone to know who I am." It really does get confusing as to where you stand when we have to sort out who is who from one anonymous to another.

I wasn't comparing Hillary to Cinderella, I was comparing Obama to her:
"Obama vs. Clinton was much more a David & Goliath story than a Cinderella one (although elements of that tale resonate strongly in the Obama phenomenon)..."
anon denied:
"No - I am not the same anonymouse as that - and I have no idea what you are talking about."
Okay. Forget about it.
"You have an option to chose 'anonymous' on your blog -"
I'm aware of that.
"Obviously several people chose it. When I posted, I saw other anonymous comments besides me."
So you understand why I asked.
"Maybe you should stop allowing anonymous comments if you are gonna lump them all together/"
I don't usually "lump them altogether."
Both of you were "former McCain supporters" and share similar patterns.
You doth protest too much though, methinks.
"You're a phony John -"
I beg your pardon?
"I was a supporter for McCain when you were denouncing him on your blog -"
Come on. I was pro-Thompson first then pro-Romney and I was promoting them at the expense of the others.
Mac has earned my support and genuine affection since.
"I sent him cash during the primaries and voted for him and you were denouncing him."
Well, only on behalf of Fred or Mitt.
Nothing personal to Mac, who, again, has earned my undivided support (and I'll be sending his campaign a check, soon).
btw, Do you often feel convinced enough about a candidate to send him money, only to then change your mind about him?
You should have your mind made up about a candidate before you send him or her a dime.
That's just a waste of money.
"Now you pretend otherwise - please."
Okay, so first you explicitly accuse me of being a "phony," and now you're implicitly calling me a liar.
I'll be the judge of who's a phony and a liar, thank you very much.
You are the phony. You pretend to "respond to every comment" then selectively delete comments you can't defend against or don't yet have the talking points for. Just stop allowing anonymous posts on this blog or keep deleting dissenting opinions while letting your sycophants keep kissing your butt.
"You are the phony. You pretend to 'respond to every comment' then selectively delete comments you can't defend against or don't yet have the talking points for."
That's incorrect. Go back and check. The deletions began with the cut-&-pasted propaganda from the Kool Aid factory that the trolls dumped and wall=papered in here as some kind of authoritarian "proof."
The authors and source were more often than not left out, but a little research usually traced the pieces to blogs like Daily Kos or Moveon or the blogs of Marxist radicals.
There was no way to engage them head on, and adressing each one with a line-by-line rebuttal was easy enough to do (as most of them are formulaic) but time consuming. I finally enacted a new poliicy of deleting the Kool Aid.
I've said many times that if you think an article or editorial s worth reading, have the courtesy to provide a link to it, and I will answer the courtesy by checking it out.
But to just imperiously DUMP the opposition's propaganda in here as if this blog is a billboard or a European lamp-post plastered with socialist/communist posters is unacceptable.
I began to delete the personal comments not when one or two trolls just came in here to vent and vomit their bile or annoyingly "hahahaha" and spew ad hominems, but when they began to attack and insult my other guests who have been coming here for years.
"Just stop allowing anonymous posts on this blog..."
I respect the prerogative. Butb Kelly made good points about the concept above.
"...or keep deleting dissenting opinions..."
I never deleted any "dissenting opinions," unless you classify stuff like "You racist reichos and twisted fuck Xtians" and "Hitler Bush" crap as "dissenting opinions"
"...while letting your sycophants keep kissing your butt."
"Sycophants?" They're confederates.
Anonymous, as I explained in the more recent post "Sarah Palin and the Demoncats""
"Taking a look back at earlier posts when infestation was in full swing here, those good-faith policies were exploited by the Alinskyites by their flash flooding of the commentary section with cut & pasted, unanswerable Kool Aid (with the source rarely cited, for obvious reasons), and the continuation of the first argument with no acknowledgement of points made in the interceding counterargument (which, by the rules of Reason, demanded addressing and/or necessitated re-evaluation and adjustment of their own argument), as if arguing with the wind.
Yet your host had to abide by his own rules and principles, and he either had to let them propagandize with impunity, or swamp himself trying to reason with an unruly, mindless mob which had made themselves at home here.
They figured that out.
Only when they attacked my guests with no provocation did I allow myself to delete and evict them in good conscience, seeing as how protection of my guests from harrassment by others was a rule that could override the others (when their harrassing of me, and my own personal sense of annoyance and disgust, could not)."
Its interesting that would compare Obama to Cindarella (instead of Hillary)
Maybe you should try to come up with a male mythic character for a male and a female for a female.
Otherwise - your gender bending doesn't reflect well on your attempt to be conservative and traditional
Re Palin - good speech, but she would have benefited if Huckabee spoke before she went. Rudy left a a big fart on stage for her to clear away.
Black people (or as Rudy calls them 'community organizers') aren't gonna vote for McCain . So it probably doesn't matter
Here's a less subtle Rudy:

After posting this last point - I see there are other anonymous comments above that are different than me - . No big deal.- Just want to prevent your earlier confusion.
Referencing anonymous;
This you will find hilarious - You'll almost feel bad for the unfortunate un-uppity congressman
