Hundred-million-dollar Hillary "I'm not Tammy Wynette" Clinton, John "$400 Haircut" Edwards, John "French" Kerry and Al "$30,000 utility bill" Gore make Obama look like a peon of pretension. And it's hard to top the imperiousness of Reps.

But Republicans are just as susceptible to the Democrats' do-as-I-say virus. Take Obama's GOP presidential rival, John McCain. The New York Times- endorsed media darling got a standing ovation from the nation's newspaper editors at a big journalism powwow in Washington this week. Some maverick. While McCain eagerly criticized Obama as an "elitist" for his derisive comments about small-town Pennsylvanians, Obama's got nothing on McCain when it comes to insulting average Americans who oppose illegal immigration. Pandering to the open-borders lobby as cozily as Obama panders to San Francisco billionaires, McCain has attacked grassroots enforcement activists as bitter racists and xenophobes, cursed his Senate opponents and mocked the "goddamned fence" in front of his deep- pocketed business supporters. And who can forget his disdainful admonition to conservatives, whom he berated to "calm down." GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham, McCain's ally, infamously vowed to National Council of La Raza leaders, "We're going to tell the bigots to shut up." Retired GOP-Senator-turned-lobbyist Trent Lott moaned about populist conservative talk radio being a "problem" that Washington Republicans had to "deal with." Speaking of whom, what's old vacant Lott up to now? The Washington Post reported last week that he's "struggling" to adjust to life in the private sector. "I took the Metro for the first time," he told the paper. It's hard not having his own taxpayer-funded car and driver anymore. And this bozo bon mot: "I haven't paid for lunch in 30 years," he joked. Memo to Beltway GOP: If you are looking to repair your image with your conservative base, this is not the kind of press you want. Makes for great cable TV greenroom small talk. Not so good for your beleaguered fundraising efforts. And not so helpful if you plan to convince voters in the general election that you are materially different from Snob- ama and his Democratic colleagues who traffic in contempt for the common man.

The New York Times- endorsed media darling " Yeah, that's why The New York Times published that phoney smear article a few weeks ago about McCain having an affair with a Telecom representative. Turned out to be totally fales and blew up in the Times' face. "what's old vacant Lott up to now?" This would be the same Trent Lott who had his long time political career destroyed by one comment he made at a testimonial dinner that was interpreted to have racial over tones? When what Lott said didn't even register on the "race meter" compared to the comments made by Obama's racist pals, Jerimiah Wright and Louis Farrahkhan. Here's another point the author conveniently ignores. Obama made his remarks that disparaged small town Americans, when he was behind closed doors - when he thought he was not being recorded. I think what he says behind closed doors has a lot more validity than what he says when he is on the political stage, preaching to his swooning liberal fans. Irish Mike |
