The Honeymoon's Over
By regurgitating so many wearisome and vapid Clintonites, Obama risks the political equivalent of showing the new bride his button mushroom manhood the first night in Niagara. He and Hillary are like Ray Fernandez and Martha Beck, contriving to piss off quite a few foam-flecked fans, for sure. Except for Chris Matthews, who will hail his choice of Manuel Noriega as TSA Czar as "inspired, and thrilling. And inspired". Obama is Ray Fernandez, man:
And while I'm at it, I've scoured the Constitution, and there ain't no such goddam thing as The Office of the President-Elect. He just fucking made that shit up!
Obama reminds me of those potentates and despots who laurel themselves with self-aggrandizing appellations in order to counteract their self-doubt. Before this is over he'll be Barack Hussein Obama, President of the United States, Lord Protector of the Commonwealth, King of the Soetoros, Emperor of the Hebrides, Righteous Shaman of the Luo Tribe, and the Lion of Judah. A Haile Suspect Selassie.
Not even Ray had them kind of issues. And, yes. I'm on something of a Shirley Stoler jag. Kinks within kinks, I suppose.
I've heard of Jack in the box, but, is that... a Bill in the Box?
No, Neck. That's a Kos in the Box.

Yeah, I was wondering about that! Because if it was there before, none of the others ever used it. Something seriously wrong with this guy, I tell you.
Who is Shirley Stoler? I suppose I could go look it up, but your explanations are always more entertaining.
"A Haile Suspect Selassie."
I realize I am not the first to say it, but that one is as good as they come.
Posted by: Andy at November 26, 2008 3:15 PMJust a reminder (of course, you knew this, right?), His Obamaness is not the Prez-Elect until he is so designated by the Electoral College.
Until then, he is just the former Senator from Illinois, and is properly referred to as "Mister Obama".
As a point, when referring to persons who once held an office, "Judge", "Senator", "Congress-critter", "Colonel" and "Mr. Speaker" are courtesy titles - and I, for one, am not overly burdened with courteousnous.
HailFahr, boy! Ah be downright rude!
