Well John certainly sucked all the political wind out of the air with his bold surprise move of tagging Palin as his running mate. Not a peep has been heard about Whathisface Obama since.

In fact, it's all I hear in the press, and all I hear anyone in the real world talking about politically. I wonder if John's happy about that.

:D


Surprise! John ... the surprise is on you.

I actually think this is turning out well.....when Obama feels obligated to say he's got more experience than the VP on the republican side, that says something about his experience level.

I just find that to be somewhat amusing.

Whatever happen to "Thy will not mine be done"?

Oooh, babydaddy's kinda cute:

Let's see how he looks at the end of the GoP's biggest shotgun on his wedding day in October.

I'll be interested to hear more about Obama's dealings with Ayers at the University of Illinois Chicago. I wonder why those records were selaed for so long at a public university?

Honestly, I don't much care about those. My point is EVERYONE has skeletons. The right will excuse and justify the skeletons of those on the right, and the left will do the same of those on the left. It's all about who you support.

I disagree. I'm pretty far to the left, but I generally pull my support if the skeletons pile up or start coming back to life as flesh-eating zombies.

I think what makes it look as if we treat Conservatives' skeletons differently is the element of hypocracy that often uniquely accompanies theirs.

The problem with decrying human nature in the public sphere and attempting to control it in others, is that it can't be controlled in yourself. We are all human, and Progressives have the advantage of allowing for that. So when "we" fukup, at least we haven't railed against that same thing in speeches and legislation. Human nature goes down much easier that way.


Ya know, the homophobes that get arrested in tearooms. The Fundies with unwed teen pregnancies at the time of their nomination, that kind of thing. :p


That's why we yawn when Clinton gets his dick sucked under the Oval Office desk. I'm not aware he ever badmouthed blowjobs.

I do see a bit of hypocrisy on the left, though. Let's talk about the Clinton example -

Palin is being slammed on in numerous areas regarding "bad judgment". I suppose I would regard the whole Clinton/Lewinsky thing as very poor judgment on the part of Clinton.

Clinton was accused of rape by...shoot, forgetting her name. This was seemingly glossed over by the left, whereas Clarence Thomas was crucified in hearings for supposedly talking about public hairs on a coke.

If an intern of some fortune 500 company had an intern doing the Lewinsky on him in his office, feminists would be claiming harrassment simply because he was a powerful male and she was his underling. No such thing with Clinton and Lewinsky.

So we can all find hypocrisy in our those we wish to because to some extent we are all hypocrits. Again, it just goes to where one looks to want to find it.

Juanita Broderick if I am not mistaken.
