wealth of targets that are provided by the personal recollections in his first book

Write a book and run for President! That does seem to be a common theme among the liberals.

Barack can get shot going to the gas station

He can also drill a hole in the trunk of a sedan and use it as sniper’s nest from where he can shoot white people as they pump gas. Just saying.

Liberals hardly care about drug use

I think you should ask Rush Limbaugh about that theory.

Heh.

The University of Chicago Hospital pays her $400,000+ per year as a community liaison, whatever that is.

Community liaison (n) — In Chicago, the relative of a prominent Democrat, who is hired in order to appease the labor unions and the Daley machine (cf: featherbedding, protection racket).

Obama’s wife also addresses the race issue when asked by Kroft whether she fears for her husband’s life as a black candidate. “I don’t lose sleep over it because the realities are that… as a black man… Barack can get shot going to the gas station,” says Michelle Obama. “You can’t make decisions based on fear and the possibility of what might happen.”

Where does one start? “As a black man…”

Because white men don’t get shot?
Because white men shoot black men at the gas station? Because … dare I say it? … black men get shot in the street by racist white cops?
How about because black men shoot each other at astonishing rates for no reason that we can figure out?

Going out on a limb, here: I’m guessing Kroft didn’t follow up this idiotic statement with a worthwhile question. The University of Chicago Hospital pays her $400,000+ per year as a community liaison, whatever that is. Apparently the job doesn’t require serious thought.

This just screams for a photoshop. We know you’re tempted.

Do it. I dare you.

Choose the sunnier, more optimistic, more magnanimous, least angry candidate and you won’t go terribly wrong.

I suspect that at the end of the day both Obama and Mr. Hutz are shooting for the VP slot on the Hillary train.

And none will get it – Richardson…

Kid, glaciers don’t move aside easily, not even for other glaciers.

…and the glacier you and I know as Hillary

Are you saying the lady is frigid?

How is this working for the icicle?

In interviews, strategists in both parties pointed to four big vulnerabilities: Obama’s inexperience, the thinness of his policy record, his frank liberalism in a time when the party needs centrist voters, and the wealth of targets that are provided by the personal recollections in his first book, from past drug use to conversations that cannot be documented.

Liberals hardly care about drug use. However, with their attitude towards the tobacco industry, it is surprising that Allah does not mention Obama’s chain smoking. If a Republican smoked, would the MSM consider that to be a liability?

I would never watch CNN, but in the cafeteria today, I heard CNN doing a story of Obama’s smoking. It is Hillary’s way of letting him know who the MSM will support. Obama is finished, like Dean was finished when the MSM turned on him.

Tattaglia’s a pimp. He never could’ve out-fought Santino. But I didn’t know until this day that it was Barzini all along.

Can’t wait.

I’m all ears.

Shorter version: are Democrats stupid, or what?

It looks to me like our only choices in 2008 will be between the Stupid Party and the Stupider Party.

Which, of course, means he’d never have a shot at the Democratic nomination.

Too bad. Call me non-partisan, but I like my elections like my Super Bowls – with two good teams playing.

Instead, we’re inevitably going to get Hillary. Or Gore. Or the Breck Girl.

Shorter version: are Democrats stupid, or what?

Exit question: Just how low will GOP turnout be come November 2008?

If the GOP thinks that Clinton angst will bring out the base in droves, they forget about the lackluster election of ’96.

Exit question: all depends on who is running…McCain vs Hillary. BIG turnout. Guiliani vs Breck boy. Meh.

The countdown to Obama’s implosion may be about to speed up. Me, I hope it doesn’t….

I saw an article two days ago (which naturally I can’t find now) about how most voters vote according to the candidate’s visceral appeal, not his or her platform

You had to read an article to figure that out?
