Once More for the Cheap Seats

I listened to some of the Donkle debate on NPR last night, and found it roundly hilarious, although I was, I admit, pleasantly surprised that crazyman Joe Biden talked openly of cutting military spending. Anyway, for some ineluctable reason, "opening statements" were not made at the opening, but rather scattered throughout the program, with the order of delivery decided by drawing lots. Obama got the first chance, and off he went, quoting Martin Luther King, Jr. in his first sentence. And of course, had anyone locked eyes with HRC, you be sure as shit that what they saw flashing in her carnivorous brain was, "That fucking nigger . . ." Today, Donk Netrootsia is all tizzified that Bob Kerrey, who keeps the shrunken heads of a thousand Vietnamese children in his armoir, said Barack Hussein Obama was totally a Muslim who totally went to a madrassa and totally, like, converted to Christianity. Or something. And through their shock, it does seem to be dawning on them that no matter how mainstream his views--and Obamas are painfully mainstream--and no matter how polished his credentials, and no matter how Carlton his voice, he is, at the end of the day, a black guy with a sand jockey name and Allah in his past, and They do not want him as president of these here United States
