1) Gov. Sarah Palin going dirty with her accusations that Sen. Barack Obama kicks it with crusty, 1960s counter-culture terrorists who are now reformed education specialists and live in his neighborhood. Nice. Guilt by association. Does that mean I get to associate Sen. John McCain, her dream mate, with his various parade of lowlifes? The shady pastor he kissed up to. The Keating 5. Various racists and anti-semites? He's been in the senate 26 years. That's a lot of hanging out with the far right fringe to get their votes. Never mind his opposition to a holiday for Rev. Martin Luther King, him condemning "agents of intolerance" just to cuddle up to them for votes. Etc. Etc.
This move is pretty pathetic. I mean, William Ayers? That's the best they can do? An old reformed hippy? I'm expecting they're going to bust out the fringe's greatest hits, including Louis Farrahkan (who Barack also has little to do with and doesn't know), Rev. Jeremiah Wright (who's been pretty much MIA after the drama in the spring, but I guess they could break out his greatest hits), Tony Rezko (who he apologized over already for taking the land deal, and went to trial where Obama's name never came up) and other random nobodies that they'll slime as "Chicago-style" politics.
I don't get how the Daly machine is worse that the other political powerhouses throughout major cities and counties across the US. McCain got where he is because he married the daughter of a highly connected billionaire in Arizona. Um ... lame! I'm two seconds from dubbing him McLame. If he and Punky Brewster go this route, you read it here first -- John McCain's gone mad with lust for power and is dead inside. Actually. I could argue that this happened the moment he hugged and Bush and Bush gave him the kiss of political life in the party.
Love thy enemy, indeed.
More on that later.
2) That Wall Street collapse? Us Negras did it. Or at least that's what they're selling on FOX News. You see, apparently we hood-winked and bamboozled those banks into giving us risky, shitty loans, then brought down the economy. Wow. What a lazy ass way to Blame-A-Negro. Especially since it was not us darkies who suggested that the banks sell our (and many, many white folks) crappy loans, chop them up and sell thim as securities and back them up with some other shady garbage. Last night 60 Minutes scared the crap out of me talking about the financial crisis, saying there maybe more than $60 trillion in shady debt floating around. The United States economy is only worth $14 trillion. Um ... who the hell can pay that? We can't pay that. Lord, please let Steve Kroft be wrong!
