Obama’s chief weapons are: a fanatical devotion to abortion and brazen dishonesty.

Hillary Clinton has spent time as the wife of a governor and the wife of a president & has done nothing else that would lead you to think she has the ability to serve her country.

Now, that’s accurate, according to Foo.

But it misses a teeny little part of the narrative.

Bambi conveniently forgetting that Palin is in charge of a state is, well, dishonest.

But as long as he serves the narrative, it’s OK, because he is number ONE, and Biden is number TWO.

Oh shit, Barbie, you really zinged the wingers here, didn’t you! Damn, how do you stuff so much clever in one head like you do??? That Fox reference just came out of nowhere! Did you write that yourself? Are you going to run back to wankette or kos and tell all your grade school friends how you spoke to truth to power? You’re soooo hot when you’re being just so damn intellectual and progressive!! Time to run off and get roofied by the quarterback sweetheart.

Damn, I was just beginning to enjoy the right wing spin when Foo (with just a little wisdom) came in an threw in a monkey wrench. Well that’s it, nothing more to read here until Fox and the Oxycontin Addict come up with more talking points.

Foo is more shady than BO, never thought I’d say that.

Foo, if the ONE (TM) was actually trying to respond to the question, he would have focused on ALL of Palin’s executive experience (since it was ALL brought up in the question) instead of the small town mayoral part.

Perhaps if Obama had said something like “these critics are flat wrong- I have more executive experience than she does” in his response it would be a little shady to skip over her experience as governor. He doesn’t make the claim in his response that he has more executive experience than she does, though. Cooper asks for a response, and Obama responds by putting her mayoral experience (which Cooper mentioned) into perspective while trying to illustrate his own executive experience as well as legislative experience relative to disaster management.

Who? Foo, or Sen Obama?

It’s clear that Obama is responding to Anderson Cooper’s suggestion that Palin’s experience as mayor of Wasilla contributes significantly to the case that she has more executive experience than he does. Oh, please. Read your own damn quote.

They’ve in fact said that Governor Palin has more executive experience as mayor of a small town and as governor of a big state of Alaska. What’s your response?

My response is to completely ignore the part about her being Governor of a big state, because that doesn't allow me to make the dishonest comparison to my own campaign. Dishonest, low-life pondscum.
