I had wanted to post part two of the McCain interview by Bill O’Reily, but, Red Lasso is having some issues. You can try and give it a shot later, if you want. Part one seems to be hosed, too. So, let’s go with a bit of humor embeded with the truth, via Allahpundit, who calls this “the last consolation of the disgruntled Hillary supporter..” I just call it funny, witty, and, hopefully true come the morning of November 5th.

Seriously, only in Liberal World©

Following in the footsteps of other bloggers like Jeralyn Merritt and Armando, I must urge the superdelegates, the media and other creative class left blogs to be aware of something before it is too late. I’ve crunched the numbers, looked them over again and again, then again with a sprinkling of eye of newt and found the weakness in Barack Obama’s candidacy:

He’s getting too many votes.

OK, Olliver is saying this tongue in cheek, or, he’s applying a bit of kryptonite to a few fools (yes, I know most won’t get that reference to Olliver’s old weblog header)

Just a little humor to brighten your day. Lord knows it is really, really, really unusual for someone on the Left to post something funny.

Seriously, Harold Meyerson should be hired by the NY Times. His editorials are that funny!

The relationship between Barack Obama and the white working class is beginning to resemble that between Ahab and the white whale. In state after state (Ohio, Pennsylvania and now Indiana), Obama sets out to reel in his working-class quarry, and, in state after state, it eludes him. As Obama is still the likely nominee, many Democrats fear that come November, working-class whites will pull Obama and their party down to defeat.

Obama’s problem, and the Democrats’, goes well beyond the malignant nonsense of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Ever since the New Deal coalition was smashed on the reefs of race in the mid-1960s, working-class white support for Democratic presidential candidates has hemorrhaged. Though he won a plurality of the popular vote, Al Gore lost the white working class by 17 points in 2000; John Kerry lost it by 23 points four years later. Even though, as Ruy Teixeira of the Brookings Institution and Alan Abramowitz of Emory University demonstrated in a recent paper, the white working class is becoming an ever smaller share of the overall electorate, it will remain large enough through the middle of the century that the Democrats cannot afford to lose it by Kerry like margins. But how, Democrats wonder, can they secure the white working-class vote?

How can they? Wait for it, wait for it………

Well, they could start by re-unionizing it.

He’s serious. Read the rest of it, and you will see.

They are losing the white working class because of the elitist attitudes, the constant disingenuous pandering to everyone, particularly minority groups, the constant “America SUCKS!” rhetoric emanating from DNC, the elected Dems, and the Base of the Democrat Party, their pro-criminal stances, and their trying to turn America into a Nanny and Welfare state.

The GOP loses the white middle class (as well as other voter blocks) because they do not practice what they preach. The Democrats lose the white middle class because they do practice what they preach.

Unionizing sounds more like a way of strong arming the members into voting a certain way. And it is easier to pander to unions. So, instead of addressing what the white middle class really wants, Meyerson is proposing that the Democrats artificially create new voting blocks. Great.

Found a bit of vid of Dubya at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner, but, it doesn’t include this bit, unless you can get the cBS News one on the page I link below to work. I’ve had no luck

President George W. Bush poked fun at his potential successors, expressing surprise that none of them were in the audience at the White House Correspondents’ Association annual dinner.

“Senator McCain’s not here,” Bush said of Republican nominee-in-waiting John McCain. “He probably wanted to distance himself from me a little bit. You know, he’s not alone. Jenna’s moving out too.”

Bush then referred to scandals that have dogged the campaigns of the two remaining Democratic candidates, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, in explaining their absence: “Hillary Clinton couldn’t get in because of sniper fire and Senator Obama’s at church.”

I don’t care who you are, this is funny.

Nuance

(Grey Lady) To counter opponents’ accusations that he lacks experience in foreign policy, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois often cites his ties to relatives in poor villages in Kenya and the years he spent growing up in Indonesia. Now he has added a new personal detail to that résumé: a trip to Pakistan while a college student.

No, really, he’s serious. “Yes, we can” start laughing now.  :lol: 

Y’all seriously need to head on over to Griff’s Notes and watch the video of Code Pink Zombie getting the boot from the Patraeus hearings. I take no responsibility if you are drinking something hot and burn your nasal cavities.

Oh, and meanwhile, a McCain/Rice ticket would beat either an Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama ticket. You’ll never guess where.

Heh.
