and watch out for rudy the rabbit - a skippy rant

the war between blacks and women continues in the media. cnn reports that obama backer accuses bill clinton of suppressing vote:

in an interview with cnn, dick harpootlian, a former chairman of the south carolina democratic party and an obama backer, said some of clinton's recent remarks on the campaign trail were appeals based on race and gender, meant to "suppress the vote, demoralize voters and distort the record."

on the other hand, the nytimjes sez that bill clinton accuses obama camp of stirring race issue:

scolding a reporter, mr. clinton said the obama campaign was “feeding” the news media to keep issues of race alive, obscuring positive coverage of the presidential campaign here of senator hillary rodham clinton of new york.

“they know this is what you want to cover,” mr. clinton told a cnn reporter in charleston, in an apparent reference to the obama campaign.

“shame on you,” the former president added.

may we take a moment to try to interject some calm into this media-fed frenzy?

people, people, people! that’s just the attitude we don’t need! sure, the republicans have beaten us the last two presidential elections. sure, they’re dirty campaigners. they’ve got the best advertising money can buy. hell, every candidate they’ve got running has their own personal fact masseuse. not masseur. masseuse. but it doesn’t matter.

did you know that every republican candidate has a direct line to the conservative media infrastructure which they check every 48 hours to see if there's any change in their poll numbers? do you know they use the most sophisticated dog-whistle political methods from karl rove, lee atwater and scooter libby?

but it doesn't matter. it just doesn't matter. we tell you it just doesn’t matter! it just doesn’t matter!

even...even if we win...if we win, hah! even if we win! even if we campaign so far above our expectations that our noses bleed for a week to ten days; even if god in heaven above comes down and points his hand at our side of the electorate; even if every man woman and child held hands together and prayed for us to win, it just wouldn’t matter because all the really good looking girls would still go out with the republicans because they’ve got all the money! it just doesn’t matter if we win or we lose. it just doesn’t matter! it just doesn’t matter!

everybody: it just doesn’t matter! it just doesn’t matter! it just doesn’t matter!

Can we have the candidates do a hot-dog eating contest instead?

Or maybe we can have them play basketball versus the media and when they're all distracted we can pants 'em.

I love the references, Skippy. Keep it up!

Interesting/depressing new poll about what people thing about the state of the union. 81% of the respondents are unhappy; definitely interesting, but not particularly surprising

I drive my son crazy singing that song as I take him to scout camp each summer.

I don't know - don't the hot girls go for Democrats? Thats why Repubs are always paying for it, or divorcing wives because the next one won't put out unless she gets a ring. She's not in it for lust.
