See, that’s how great the Obaminator is. Elected in 2006, he’s already been a Senator for four years!

Um, hate to burst your bubble here, but Obama was elected in 2004. He gave that oh-so-wonderful speech at the convention, which is why he’s the nominee now.

See, that’s how great the Obaminator is. Elected in 2006, he’s already been a Senator for four years!

It seems to me that Obama vs McCain might do a lot to changing a few minds about multi-culture, gender, and ethnicity being pre-eminent to having some smarts, wisdom, and talent. It’s the latter idea that the USA sorely lacks.

Pass the popcorn!

Can someone raise questions about the experience of a candidate who’s only been a US Senator for four years and who does not have a prodigious legislative record without being stained as a bigot?

No.

Next question.

Seriously though…..someone needs to make that into a bumpersticker.

I like NPR, their features and weekend shows are good.

Infidel! Apostate!

No, I know what you mean. The local Pacifica station, KPFA, is pure insanity politically speaking but they have some good music shows.

Still, I would love to end any and all public financing of NPR and PBS. Let them push their ceaseless anti-Western, anti-Ameican horses**t in the free market and let’s see how well they do. They should not have their special, exalted government funded status.

What a lovely reference.

Classic

We do need that clip from “Ghostbusters”.

I thought so too. (skip to 2:05-2:25) Best scene tho – Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. Who, come to think of it, describes Barack Obama pretty well. Inflated, soft, sticky, empty calories and frighteningly larger than life.

“NOBODY steps on a church in my town!”

You said you listened to NPR on 9-11-01 and it made you hate the channel forever.

I had a similar experience of revulsion. I fired up the short wave and caught an ear full of Radio Havana. Across a pretty clear signal that night, an english-speaking male with a sensitive, effeminate voice lectured me about how the United States had created Bin Laden and therefore deserved the attack, chickens home to roost, etc., and the USA should ask itself why the world hates it. I wonder if the Radio Havana broadcast might have simply been a replay of the NPR broadcast you heard earlier that day?

“Can someone raise questions about the experience of a candidate who’s only been a US Senator for four years and who does not have a prodigious legislative record without being stained as a bigot?” Not according to Team Obama, as NPR figures out.

What about someone who’s only spent 143 “full days” as a US Senator before launching his presidential campaign? NPR still gives him more credit than he deserves!

Last weekend Mark Shields took Obama to the woodshed over the campaign financing issue.

“Can someone raise questions about the experience of a candidate who’s only been a US Senator for four years and who does not have a prodigious legislative record without being stained as a bigot?” Not according to Team Obama, as NPR figures out.

Of those 4 years he’s ‘been’ in the senate, he’s been running for president most of the time.

I just wish Scott Simon would show some intestinal fortitude and guffaw at some of the howlers that Dan Schorr…

Daniel Schorr makes my skin crawl. (one thing that Nixon got right)

Of course I do! Click and Clack. I love the list of their producers, drivers, etc. and the nice play on words.

“Our russian transportation director, Pikup Andropov”

Classic stuff…

What’s next?

PEEEEOOOOOOPLEEEEEE!!!
