“Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed.” - Mark Twain
The latest verbal slip-up from Democratic Presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) was earlier today on ABC’s This Week.
Obama used the phrase “my Muslim faith,” and was corrected by host George Stephanopoulos:
Some are going wild, insinuating that it shows that Obama really is a Muslim.
And I think the video shows a problem.
It’s not what Obama [...]

Lots on the left are having hissy-fits about Alaska Gov. Sarah H. Palin. In case you missed the news, Sen. John McCain, selected Gov. Palin as his running mate.
The problem?
That depends on who you listen to.
If you listen to the Democrats, the problem is that she doesn’t have experience. They are saying she’s not ready [...]

Senator Biden, thank you for coming in.
It’s your pleasure, Sweetie.
Joe! How’s it hanging?
Phil…
It’s Barack.
Yeah, whatever. Good to see you.
We wanted to clear up a couple of things here on your resumé.
Alight, Sweet Cheeks, what can I explain for you? Did I use words that were too big?
We looked at what you put on your resumé, [...]

Susan Sarandon wants Barack Obama to be President.
That doesn’t surprise me. She’s nuts. And that’s pretty much the only qualification required for supporting Barack Obama.
But I missed a report last week from The Telegraph. According to the report, Sarandon is looking at a move if Sen. John McCain wins the presidency:
“If McCain gets in, it’s [...]

There’s a new poll out today that shows Senator Barack Hussein Obama (D-IL) leading everyone in the race for the White House. Not just over New York Senator Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton (D-IL,AR,DC,NY). But over Republican front-runner, Arizona Senator John Sidney McCain, III.
The odd thing is, that poll seems to buck the trend of other [...]

A bunch of folks are getting their panties in a wad over a picture being circulated that shows Senator Barack Hussein Obama (D-IL) in Somali garb.
And, Drudge reports that New York Senator Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton (D-IL,AR,DC,NY) … or actually, some of her staff … are behind it.
Obama has denounced it. And some are calling [...]

Ralph Nader announced on NBC’s Meet The Press today that he’s running for President.
Good for him.
And good for the country.
You see, he’ll draw votes from the Democratic nominee in November. And that’s good news for the GOP.

Now, when New York Senator Hillary [...]

Some have accused Bill or Hillary Clinton of interjecting race into this year’s presidential primaries.
I think that’s wrong.
Oh, don’t misunderstand me. I do not like Bill or Hillary Clinton. But I don’t want anybody accused of something they’re not guilty of.
Now, let’s be clear. Racism has been brought into the campaign. But not by William [...]

Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell — a supporter of New York Senator Hillary Clinton — said White Pennsylvanians aren’t ready to vote for a Black candidate.
I’m speechless.
Okay, I’m not really speechless.
Let’s say, I’m amused.
Why?
Because it shows just how much the Democrats are cracking up. And I’m tickled pink to think that the Dems will self-destruct and [...]
