A diary on the rec-list by a well-meaning Obama supporter "apologizes" to Sarah Palin and presumes that liberal bloggers started this mess.
No. I reject that.
John McCain started this mess. Liberal bloggers didn't pick Palin, McCAin did.
Liberal bloggers didn't impregnate her daughter. Someone else did.
Liberal bloggers didn't spread this crap. Right-wingers in Alaska spread it.
Little known fact: Michelle Obama is one of the best Democratic speakers out there. It's clear that Barack Obama took some lessons from her. I think people are going to see that tonight.
I hope many people watch Michelle's speech tonight. For all of the talk of victimization by BOTH Hillary/Obama supporters over the primary season (RACISM! SEXISM!), it's African American women who face the double wammy racism/sexism. I hope she wins people over.
It was always inevitable that Michelle Obama would be vilified. That's the way the Republicans work: They vilify any strong woman. It's been a bit distressing to see people on the "Left" also attack her during the primary season, but I'm hoping that comes to an end today.
Despite what you Obamabot THUGS think, there are thousands - perhaps tens of thousands of PUMAs in Denver right now.
I'm there, and I've met several hundred. They are everywhere. During my flight to Denver, I met three black men who were going to Denver to protest Obama's election. They are upset that the DNC/Donna Brazille/Pelosi have taken the election away from Hillary Clinton. And they are not alone. There are thousands here. We will march the streets on Tuesday.
18 million Hillary Clinton supporters are OUTRAGED that Obama did not at least HONOR HER by vetting her.
They are right to be outraged. There is nothing more respectful than sending a bunch of pitbull lawyers over to dig through dirt on a former President and a US Senator.
I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO offended that Obama didn't vet her. This is an insult to women everywhere! Afterall, there's nothing more respectful than dragging Hillary Clinton's husband into an interview room and forcing him to disclose all of his sexual activity over the last few years.
It's unbelievable that they disrespected Hillary by not vetting her. She deserves better. She deserves to have all of her finances turned upside down, including the Clinton Foundation.
Picking a Vice President is like adding 1 + 1 = 2! You get all of the constituencies that both candidates received in the primary!
If Obama picks Hillary, he'll automatically win because every well-educated person from West Virginia who voted "for" Hillary will vote for Obama! It's as simple as that. If Obama doesn't pick Hillary, then he'll lose...or it will be really close and tons of people will whine.
Look: we've all heard this already, and we all know that the above arguments are 100% true because Hillary Clinton's anti-Obama supporters are totally ready to support Obama when Hillary is chosen. Anyone who is holding back now and supporting McCain will totally support Obama when he picks her as VP. Especially the older white Democrats who live in rural areas. They're ITCHING to support Obama! We all know this, and we all know that Obama will automatically win if he selects Hillary as his VP because everyone loves her.
Joe Biden carried faithfully out the duty of a #2 earlier today, when he dropped some fairly large logs in front of some reporters and, satisfied with what he had done, nodded and remarked, "I had a successful dump."
Not surprisingly, the media ate it all up with a spoon. News of his dump traveled far and wide. Senator Biden then asked if anyone would help him with his next dump, saying, "by the way I got a second load coming and if anyone wants to help me unload let me know" but the confused reporters, who were sick of eating Biden's BS and waiting to hear when #2 would drop, declined to help Mr. Biden with his next dump.
[PAID FOR BY HILLARY CLINTON'S DEBT]
"Kathleen Sebelius must be stopped! We must NEVER have a female VP, unless it's me!! WAHHH!! WAHHH!!! WAHHH!!!
She is a woman. She is not qualified because her name isn't Hillary Clinton, the only qualified woman in the entire world. WAHHH! WAHHH! WAHHH!
I know you're sick of these VP diaries, but I love them! All speculation seems to be centering around Biden, but I think that's a headfake.
Dollars to donuts, it's going to be Kathleen Sebelius. I guarantee you that Barack Obama has spent the last 3 months begging Al Gore to be on the ticket. If he can convince Gore, then it will be Gore. And the election will be over, game set and match. If he cannot, then it will be Governor Sebelius.
I can feel it deep down in the cockles of my heart. The subcockles even.
