I believe that I saw the same redeemer in the pages of MAD magazine.

Didn’t RFK Jr. take Teddy Kennedy to task for endorsing Obama over Hillary and proclaiming him the new JRFK?

“Mr Obama’s strikingly vacuous political background”

Wonderful.

It is not only legitimate, but necessary, to scrutinise his past and infer what it might tell us about his beliefs, in the absence of the normal record of achievement expected in a presidential nominee.

As it is necessary to scrutinize one's allegiances.

Good read. Few things measure up to the journalistic adventure of that which flows from the pen of a Brit who has his eyes open and his head on straight.

Read all this about the media love-fest for Obama, and you would think there was some possibility that the man will be able to draw flies in the general election. The WV primary is a harbinger of the kind of result to be expected in the general election.

Oh, there is no doubt that Obama can lose.

The bigger question, though, is can McCain win?

I'm reminded of the 2006 election, where one side deserved to lose and the other side didn't deserve to win. We all know how that turned out...

Love it! :-) The author busted the MSM’s religious devotion and worshipfulness of Ubama perfectly!

“Oh! Bama!” LOL. :-)

Someone once posted a great animation of Obama and Hillary as Easter Island statues. I haven’t seen it again.
