Yeah JD but all those things you list are sort of maddening hypocrisies. I was thinking more along the lines of absurdly funny. Obama’s hope thing is sort of funny in an eye rolling way but Hillary calling herself “Rocky” is pretty funny. I was thinking she was more along the lines of Nurse Ratchet… ruthless, tenacious, unkillable, but still funny.

Sorry, Ed Wood. To this observer, the mere fact that they were candidates was more than enough. For specifics, I would look towards John Kerry saying “don’t question my patriotism” every time someone disagreed with him, Silky Edwards preaching about 2 Americas from his 24,000 square foot mansion, and literally the entire hopetchangey Baracky campaign. Truth is so much more entertaining than fiction. and you simply could not makes these clowns up, if they did not exist.

And Kyoto. Racist.

Since bowling is the quintisential indoor sport of fly-over country, it does not behoove those on the coasts (two stereotypes in one sentence, I’m on a roll) to denigrate that great Middle-America VOTING class when an election is at stake.

JD#16,
JD you gave no specifics! Is there a photo or a phrase? There is a really funny one of John (Kerrys butt)with his hand sticking out after he hiked a football in a 3 piece suit that I thought was pretty close.. but man…. That pic of Dukakis in a tank with his tank helmet and this little bemused smile…. and you could just tell he was thinking….”wooowww…Im in a TANK…cool….hey… the army’s cool….” was just too much.

“Is there a running for prez moment that tops that in absurdity?”

As embarrassing as that bowling vid was to watch, I’d have to say, yes, there is. Hillary, standing behind the podium and likening herself to Rocky, in a tough voice declaring,

“Let me tell you something, when it comes to finishing a fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common. I never quit. I never give up. And neither do the American people.”

Ack! Sounding like some tough rumble doll you don’t want to mess with yet adorned in pink, the display ends up coming off as just the desperate bid of a middle aged woman trying to make us believe she really can be the man.

This is quickly sinking into a contenst of cliche one upsmanship….

“Obama thinks that by going bowling with the po’ white folk, in his tailored shirt and tie—and did you notice the black/white shoes–nice touch, no??—that the silly working class dupes will think that he is “one of them” and vote for him.”

I really doubt he thinks that.

What is it with African American supporters of Obama and the Lefties that they ALWAYS use a lessor wrong to try and compensate for a worse wrong committed by Obama, his wife or his preacher. And, I have to tell you all that I could never understand the hatred emanating from the African American people I have felt over numerous years, until Mrs. Obama and their preacher spoke. If you are bombarded with hateful rhetoric and lies in church imagine what goes on in the homes and businesses and stoops all over the country. No wonder they don’t believe a word of truth, they fall back on their politicians and preachers.

Ed Wood – see algore and John Kerry. Add in John Edwards, and the entire Baracky campaign, to date, make Dukakis look like a Presidential moment.

Is this Obama’s “Dukakis in a tank” moment?
IS there a running for prez moment that tops that in absurdity?
