Our Own Village Idiot
Bob Barr Shows his Arrogance
Well, we may have just what we need to insure that Obama-lama-ding dong and wife get into office. Our own version of Ralph Nader, Bob Barr.
Most of us remember Barr for his intense attacks on Bill Clinton in the Lewinsky trial. While we might have enjoyed his watchdog approach on that class A-1 a-hole, I have to say that even then I had concerns that he was a little too “dogged” in his pursuit… just a liiiiiiiittle too overzealous.
Well, it turns out Barr has a lot in common with other village idiots that don’t understand that in a two party system, indy candidates KILL real candidates. Nader and Perot come to mind. At least Perot was a viable contender though. Nader and Barr are nothing more than nuisances that undermine the ability of a majority of a party to control the destiny of the party.
Said Barr on Geraldo- paraphrasing- “Nobody is talking about anything of substance, and that is what I intend to bring to the table.”
“Um- idiot? The time for you to try to sway people into believing that YOUR ideas of “substance” have any substance capable of sustaining a Presidential bid has already come and gone. We call it a “primary”, you arrogant ass.”
Perhaps Barr will find a sword to fall on… I predict that pressure from the party will send him packing. If it doesn’t, I will be happy to go buy him a sword. Maybe we can find a drunk bus driver or a poorly maintained plane to donate to his “campaign”.
And Along Came the White Knight Nader
As predicted (on this blog) the first of two spoilers is now in the race. Ralph Nader has tossed his pinhead shaped hat into the ring, thus potentially hurting the Democrats, and helping McCain. There is no question that Nader pulls more voters from the ranks of liberals, and this has to be very very bad news for the “Yes We Can” hope brigade of Barack Obama.
Don’t get me wrong, I do respect Nader, for some of his work, and some of his ideological strength. But, you have to admit, as a Presidential candidate, the man is nothing more than
The utterly BRILLIANT left wing ideologue scientist, Nobel winner, internet creator, and "Champion of the chad recount", Al Gore has once again wowed us with some more amazing feats of observation.
Gore says the most recent Myanmar tragedy, Cyclone Nargis, which claimed 200,000 lives, was the result of Global Warming.
Nice job, Nostradamus.
This has brought on a chorus of rejection from scientists worldwide that claim that NO storm could be directly attributed to either the global warming phenom OR the science... neither of which could support Gore's claims.
And this is supposed to be one of the left's "best". God help us. He could have been PRESIDENT.
The passing of Tim Russert brings to mind, for me, the importance of excellent journalism. Russert was one of the finest. While loving life, he would still grill your butt on anything that was the buzz... no free passes, and he understood that journalism was the 4th branch of the US democratic process.
Our US political process and the field of Journalism will sorely miss Tim Russert.
Paul Begala, bomb throwing liberal pundit and talk show man, recently made clear what the left truly thinks. And remember, the "left" is supposed to be the party that blacks should love and vote for.
Said Begala "We cannot win with egg heads and African-Americans. OK, that is the Dukakis Coalition, which carried ten states and gave us four years of the first George Bush."
I totally agree by the way. You cannot win with only black Americans. You CAN win with only eggheads, though...
This insinuation that African American support of Obama is the reason for Obama having ANY chance is correct. I think what Begala is saying is the same thing Clinton is saying, in a more veiled way.
And I think what Begala is trying to say is "Obama is propped up by an African American vote- and that is IT. He cannot win without it."
I agree... but I think it is a stupid to take that approach, or point out such a point of view, especially if you are a person from the party that claims (falsely) to represent the black community BEST.
