Did you notice that funny look in his eye? I wonder, if he was aiming that whole, “That’s not in my prepared comments” bit, at the Liberal media, and say, Chris Matthews? Too Funny! 😀
The Monday Afternoon Mental Health Break, Special Labor Day Edition: Waylon Jennings
I would personally like to dedicate this to a friend and fellow brother-in-arms, who’s having a little bit of tough time right now — to his lovely wife, who keeps that Son-of-a-bitch on the straight and narrow. Not to mention from losing his ever lovin’ mind.
Mr. McCain, things will get better man, I assure you of that. This is not time to sulk, this is a time to give thanks —- that you and kids are alright.
Another two people I would like send a shout out to, is Tommy Christopher and his wife. Tommy had heart attack and his wife is being the emotional rock, as is Mrs. McCain.
You know, it’s tough to be married to old hound dogs like us; I have never made that step — most likely because I haven’t found any woman that would be willing to put up with my idiotic nonsense. But there are those crazy women who do. God Bless ’em. They are what keep those guys looking good, and acting somewhat acceptable to society. (which explains me much I would suppose….)
Tommy, Stacy, this one’s for you guys:

At the end of this
Email is a quote of the month by Jay Leno.. If you don’t read anything else,
Please
Read what he
Said.
Very well stated,
Mr. Leno.
Salon.com says, Glenn Beck is really, really scary
Now this is too good:
It’s been obvious for quite some time that Glenn Beck is not your typical conservative pundit. In the early days of Beckmania, style distinguished him from his Fox News colleagues more than content. He disseminated the same talking points as Hannity, O’Reilly and Cavuto, but he did it in the appealingly histrionic style of a true paranoiac. It was somewhat like listening to Alex Jones, talk radio’s greatest conspiracy monger, if someone convinced Jones to vote Republican, gave him a radio show, and then got him very drunk.
That was then.
But Beck has put a lot of work into expanding his brand since then, to the point that it’s no longer sufficient to describe him as a mere right-wing pundit. Nor is he, as Reihan Salam suggests, some kind of pasty conservative Malcolm X. There is no analogy that can explain the totality of the Beck phenomenon, but there are dozens that can capture a single facet: a dash of Father Coughlin, a smidgen of Oprah, and even a little L. Ron Hubbard sprinkled on top.
Go read the rest of that; it is worth the read, just to see how scared of Glenn Beck that the liberals truly are. Let’s see now, Liberals attacking Glenn Beck and making him out to be someone he is not. Now, where have I heard that one before?
Heh: Chris Matthews Says, Obama needs to get rid of that damn teleprompter
Via BreitBart.tv:
I believe that it would be safe to assume that Mr. Matthews no longer has the thrill up his leg.
Nuremberg Defense
I do not know quite where to start. One minute, I am somewhat respected blogger. The next, I am writing my defense paper. I somewhat now know how Glenn Back feels. One difference, Glenn Beck has a great deal more money than I do. It appears that my stick poking at some women has caused a bit of a negative reaction; and they have really done their homework. Hell, they did everything but post my damned social security number! They would have done that, if they knew they would not have gotten into legal trouble for it.
What am I referring? It appears that the two lovely women that I took a rather broad handed swipe at did not like it one bit. In fact, bluntly, I do believe I may have pissed those old bitties off! You can go read the laundry list of accusations against me; it is such a depressing read really. You would think that I was some sort of Neo-Nazi or at least a Klan supporter.
Now what I did I do, to deserve such scrutiny by the Semite-Baiting crowd?
I said the J-Word!
Horrors! Off with my head! Shoot him at sunrise! Hang him at dawn! How dare this fiend dare to challenge the Neo-Conservative Ring-Wing establishment!
I may as well have yelled “Whore!” at a feminist rally.
Therefore, yes, they are after me and after me good. A price must be paid I suppose, for being a smart-mouthed, opinionated, person such as me.
Now, what is my defense? Not much really, they have their facts somewhat correct. I will explain some of the stuff and even try to salvage what sort of credibility I might have left. Not that it will really make any difference to these Semite-Baiters, they have their mission and nothing I will say or even do will make any difference to them at all.
- The Stormfront Account: Yes, I do have one. I have owned it for a long time. Something happened in the media one time, involved this forum. Therefore, I wanted to snoop around the site and I created the account. Now, does this mean that I agree one iota with those simpletons about race — specifically Jews and Blacks? No, it does not. As for what I may have written there — it is called engaging one’s self in conversation with them, as to figure out how they think and to borrow a phrase, what makes them tick. I am, without apology, a morbidly curious person. I am also a writer. One has to know one’s subject well, if one is going to write with authority about a subject.
- Michelle Malkin: This was one of things, which I did, that I am not proud of — I can really only tell you the truth about it. Before I do, please, bear in mind that before I was a smart mouthed Conservative writer, that I was a left-leaning smart mouthed writer. Having said that, here is the damned truth about that idiotic stunt that I pulled that happened over three or more years ago. Michelle Malkin wrote something that just flat out pissed me off. It has been so damned long ago; that I have totally forgotten what it was, I know that it involved kids, and her giving out personal information about the parents of those kids. So, I thought, “huh, if she can give out personal information about people, why cannot I give HER personal information out?” and I so, I did a google search for “Michelle Malkin Address” and a website came up, which had her address, telephone numbers and cell phone numbers. I let out an evil laugh and fired off a blog posting with her information, and aerial shot of her house! That will fix her red wagon! The posting was up for all of, um, maybe an hour? A message popped into my inbox — from a good friend of hers, she had not lived in that house for 3 years! D’oh! I pulled that posting and prayed to God in Heaven that no one went to that house. Now, did I feel a bit silly? You Betcha! Do I hate Michelle Malkin? No. Her style of “Slash and Burn” Political writing is not my style. However, I would very remiss, if I did not mention that she sticks up for our Military. In fact, it was one of her stories on her blog, that about sent me into a monkey shit fit of biblical proportions. It was when some idiot anti-war sleaze ball decided that it would be cool to pour cutting oil on the Vietnam War memorial in D.C. It was the reading of that story, and a series of other events; that caused me to say, “You know, the Democrats are just not my party anymore.” I will say one thing — I was told by some friends of mine, that the reason why Michelle Malkin moved to Colorado was that someone decided to post her address on a liberal forum, I heard it was Democratic Underground. Anyhow, I had zero to do with that incident and I would like to find out whom it was that did that crap. Now, what I was told might be untrue. However, I want her and her friends to know, that I regret now doing that idiotic nonsense. At the time, I knew nothing about her or how many children she had or anything of that sort. Had I known that, I would never, ever pulled a stunt like that. I would have just ignored it and moved on.
- The Michael Hendrix Incident: Once again, I made rather stupid mistake. When in the heat of the battle, you say and do things, which later you think to yourself, “What the hell did I do that for?” What happened was, I got a slight tap on the ass for some co-blogger at cold fury for saying that I happened t respect the John Birch Society. The dude called me stupid. I being the dude that was raised in the ghetto, I let the shit fly. I went for the juggler vein. In the process of that little sword fight, I ended up insulting Mike’s dead wife! First, off, at the time, I did not know what Mike’s last name even was; much less whom the person was, that was listed on the blog as being deceased. Put bluntly, I fucked up. When I did find out who she was, I did pray that God would turn the earth back about six good revolutions and let time go backward. So, that someone could scream in my ear, “THAT’S HIS FUCKING DECEASED WIFE YOU IDIOT!” —- No such luck on that one, time is still dragging on and I still feel like a damned chump about that.
- My supposed Hatred of Jews, Blacks, and other Minorities: Let me answer this one like this. I am doing rather well for someone whose cousin was brutally murdered by two black Detroit police officers and a Mexican Police Officer back in the 1990’s. I make no bones about it; I hate identity Politics of ALL stripes — Including the special treatment of ANY race. If that makes me an Anti-Semite, that so be it.
Therefore, there you have it — My Nuremberg Defense. I believe that I have answered the charges leveled at me, by a group of people whose mission in life is to ruin anyone who dares challenge the Neo-Conservative right. I make no apologies for my wit, sarcasm, and ability to make heads explode, on the left or right. It is what I do. Buckley did it, Taki Theodoracopulos does it very well, Richard Spencer does it well, and I will continue to do it here. If you read this and feel that need to complain to ad companies, which exist on this blog, therefore to hang me for my so-called crimes, and disrupt my ability to buy my medicine, do please feel free. However, please, do not call yourself a Conservative — Because that, which you are doing to me, is not even remotely Conservative. What you doing, is in line with the Uber-Liberal Left, they are the intolerant ones, and they are the ones who have attacked me for daring to challenge the President in the past. You should at least be honest and align yourselves with them.
So… there, the truth, my defense, as God as my witness — I will accept whatever becomes of this nonsense and act accordingly.
PalinBot stupidity from the moderation que
My, my…. I guess my advice to the Conservative movement’s newest shrieking harpy must have hit a nerve with some of her robot followers:

Memo to Political Byline: Are you guys a bunch of lunatic, mysynogist Palin Haters who are running neck and neck with KOS and Democratic Underground for the PDS Derangement Syndrome award of 2010, or do you people considering yourselves a serious polictical site.I have no issues with you disagreeing or not liking Gov Palin; She knows she is not liked by everyone like any visible politician. But your childish, churlish shouts for her Shut UP (as if she doesn’t have a right to an opinion) is an indication that your enmity towards her borders on delusional and pathological – Almost as if you have a problem with a woman politician.
Good luck getting visitors to your site. Responsible conservatives will consider you a Andrew Sullivan clone, while Libs who hate Palin anyway will like go to Huff Post, et al for their Palin hating fix.
Wow……….. Just wow………….
This is the Republican Party of 2010 and 2012 people; please, keep this in mind when voting, there are other choices; you know like Libertarian? Unbelievable.
Now where is my dog photo????
Ah, here it is!
Megan McCain on Palin: Drama! Stress! Panic!
Sounds like a normal day of running this blog! 😉
Anyhow, Ugh, I defend the lady when these two meatballs attack her and what does she do? This:
Video:
Via ABC NEWS:
For the first time since the end of her father’s 2008 presidential bid, Meghan McCain, Sen. John McCain’s daughter, spoke out about Sarah Palin, writing in a new book that Palin brought “drama, stress, complications, panic and loads of uncertainty” to the losing campaign.
Although McCain wrote that during the campaign she wondered whether the loss “was Sarah Palin’s fault,” McCain told “Good Morning America” in an exclusive interview today that Palin was not the reason the campaign failed.
“I do clearly state at the end that we did not lose because of her, and I’m speaking out now because I do have conflicting feelings about her,” McCain told “GMA’s” George Stephanopoulos. “She brought so much momentum and enthusiasm to the campaign.”
Before Palin came onboard, McCain said she knew drama was brewing.
“I had learned a few things on the campaign already, and knew that change always brought complications and chaos and sometimes a little entertainment. Drama was inevitable on a campaign and created almost out of thin air. Tempers were always flying, and feelings were always being hurt. There was no question that a running mate would add to the confusion and upset. There would be less time for fun,” she writes. “But I couldn’t have predicted just how serious it was going to get.”
I hate to have to be the one to break it to Megan, but the McCain campaign did not lose the election because of Palin. Although, I believe that she had some to do with it. The overall cause is because John McCain is just a lousy Conservative. It’s one thing to be a moderate; but it is another entirely to be a Progressive Conservative or Liberal Conservative. It also another thing to be a foil for the Democrats. It is what John McCain did, during the election. That is why John McCain lost.
I respect John McCain for one thing only. His Military Service. Everything else, is up for debate. As for Megan; I just want to put my rather large, um, *ahem*, Johnson between her breasts, just once…. 😀 Which about what she is good for anyhow. 😯 😮 Oh! I don’t know what I meant by that! 😯 I must now go say 500 hail Mary’s. 😀 😉 😛 😆
Oh and…. Conservative Feminist? No such thing. Feminism is a Progressive idea. Just ask Phyllis Schlafly.
Leo Laporte on Social Media: “Screw You!”
Not much to beat around the bush this guy, wow! 😮 (Via Matt)
Social media, I gave you the best years of my life, but never again. I know where I am wanted. Screw you Google Buzz. You broke my heart.
Aw. Poor guy. 😉
The Other McCain has arrived in Alaska!
This ought to be good:
Good news: It’s only $60 a night.
Better news: The local crack whores seem to have called it an early night, so it’s quiet. There’s free WiFi and free coffee in the lobby. I’m not complaining.
Like I said, this ought to be really good. If McCain manages not to get arrested; he will be bringing some awesome coverage from Alaska and the Joe Miller campaign. I encourage you to bookmark McCain’s site and stick a few bucks in his tip jar. Because the last thing we need is McCain whining about not being able to get home. Worse yet, the man is getting old; and there’s nothing worse, than an old man getting his tail kicked by his old lady. 😛 😀 😉
Stay Tuned.
It Begins: Anti-Semite Accusations
Yep, My intended target has noticed, and now they’re threatening tactics of the far-left. Which is no surprise, seeing most of those people, are just Democrats in Republican clothing.
I guess the truth must hurt.
So much for them tolerate Conservatives. I thought Democrats were the only intolerant crowd?
As for what this anonymous twit accused me of; this stuff happened long ago and I have apologized on this blog many times over for stuff I did, when I was on the left.
I will say this; I do reserve the right to litigate against RedState’s owner for allowing a blogger of theirs to post my blog without my consent. I do have a Lawyer friend of mine, who owes me a favor. Might take him up on that Pro-Bono offer.
I guess that is the price you pay, when you speak the truth about that crowd.
Ooopsie!
Can you spot the errors, other than the very obvious one?

Corruption of the Democrats strikes again!
Man, there are just no honest Democrats anymore are they?
Longtime Dallas congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson has awarded thousands of dollars in college scholarships to four relatives and a top aide’s two children since 2005, using foundation funds set aside for black lawmakers’ causes.
The recipients were ineligible under anti-nepotism rules of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, which provided the money. And all of the awards violated a foundation requirement that scholarship winners live or study in a caucus member’s district.
Johnson, a Democrat, denied any favoritism when asked about the scholarships last week. Two days later, she acknowledged in a statement released by her office that she had violated the rules but said she had done so “unknowingly” and would work with the foundation to “rectify the financial situation.”
Initially, she said, “I recognized the names when I saw them. And I knew that they had a need just like any other kid that would apply for one.” Had there been more “very worthy applicants in my district,” she added, “then I probably wouldn’t have given it” to the relatives.
via Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson violated rules, steered scholarships to relatives — Dallas Morning News.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Said just those by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin. Okay, so I will. Throw that black bitch in jail and throw away the key!
Blogger Friend of mine could use a little help
I have argued with him, when I thought he was wrong. I have cursed him, when I did not like what he had to say. However, when it comes right down to it. I still like the little scrawny skinny sawed off runt.
Yes, that’s right, I am referring to none other than Robert Stacy McCain.
McCain and I have something in common —- Calhoun, Georgia. He worked there at the paper many moons ago and some of my family on my Mom’s side of the family lived there at one point. Dalton, Calhoun, and now they are all over the place in Georgia. You see, most of my people lived in Dalton, Georgia. Well, when we wanted to go see the one aunt; my grandmother’s sister, we went to Calhoun. Hence my association with Calhoun, Georgia. I figure if McCain was from around that area, he cannot be that bad of a guy. As for what a certain unnamed pony-tailed gilipollas in California might think, McCain is not what he says he is. If you are a political Blogger, you know what I am be referring to.
Anyways, I happen to check over at McCain’s Blog this morning and this was staring me in the face:
Yes, that is a $678 repair bill. (What he gets for owning a foreign piece of crap! Serves him right! Harrumph!)
The first thing I thought was, “I told that guy that he couldn’t use that car to jump over creeks.” Turns out, it’s engine trouble. Mr. McCain explains his plight:
Friday afternoon Mrs. Other McCain said, “Oh, Jim just called — you need to go pick up the part for the car.” This required a trip across town to a machine shop, where my 17-year-old son had taken the valve head for our 2004 KIA Optima.
Two weeks ago, the timing belt broke. No problem, it seemed at first. My son and his friend replaced the timing belt but, when they went to start it, it turned out that four of the 16 valves were bent. (This being a side-effect of the broken timing belt, although the mechanics of this side-effect are alien to me.)
OK, so the valve head — the part on top of the engine to which the phrase “double overhead valve” refers — had to go to a machine shop to be repaired. Again, no problem, it seemed. The work would cost “four hundred something,” my son said, and we were prepared to bite the bullet.
Having a teenage son who’s a budding shade-tree mechanic (mentored by his more accomplished buddy) certainly saves labor costs. “Four hundred something” is nothing compared to what this kind of job would cost at a regular auto-repair place. So when my wife dispatched me to fetch the part, I had in mind a certain price that would be paid.
What I didn’t know was that Jim had also ordered gaskets and other parts necessary to doing this repair, and when the man at the machine shop — who may have been the eponymous Denny — told me the bill was nearly $700, my reaction was shocked anguish.
You ask, “So, why does he need my help?” Well, Mr. McCain is a full time writer and blogger, like me. In other words, He’s unemployed; his wife works, but when you have 575, 879,456 (or so… Seriously, I think he has 5 or 6 kids) kids, a house note, a car note for the car that he just fixed, Food costs and so forth — it all adds up. Now, unlike me; he does not have the “support system” other than his legion of fans in the Conservative Blogging World. Not to mention that he is one hell of a good Blogger, that every now and again, he scores a scoop! Not to mention that he has been known to travel to all sorts of neat places to cover political events. For what it is worth, he is not a unknown —- unlike me 🙁 — in fact, he is a pretty well known figure in politics.
So, if you can spare a little chump change, head on over to Mr. McCain’s blog and help the old bastard out. If you do, you shall heap bucket loads of Hosannas and a good JuJu on your head; and everyone knows, good juju is always a good thing.
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. – (Matthew 25:35-46 KJV)
Update: Stacy McCain links over here and comments:
LOL! Actually, I am what used to be called a freelance journalist. The decline of print journalism has made this a problematic job description. Getting paid to write is one thing. Getting expense money is something else entirely.
To which I reply:
“You say Tomato…I say Tomato….”
Anyhow, send the old bastard some money. Because I’d really hate to see McCain getting his butt kicked by his wife. Not that he doesn’t deserve it. 😛
Friday Night Mental Health Break: Stryper
This is one of those sort of funny stories, where you’d have to be there, to understand why this is so funny.
Back years ago, I was just a know-nothing 14 year old weirdo living in southwest Detroit. I used to attend Detroit Grace Assembly of God. Anyhow, many years ago, there was a guy named Bob Snyder, who was my youth pastor. Anyhow, one year for Christmas, Bob give all the kids tapes with music on it. I believe it was either 1984 or 1985 or somewhere around there! They were, um, ahem, copies. (Yes, Pirating music, in Jesus Name! HEH! 😛 ) Anyhow, I guess everyone got a different tape. I got a tape as well; on one side was Steve Camp’s One on One album, on the other side was Petra’s album called Beat The System.
Anyhow, one night, I was at home, listening to my shiny new tape, which, by the way, I still have and I was listening to the last song on the tape, which was Adonai. So, I’m listening to the song, and yes, I am all into it and it is fading out and I’m really, really, really, into it — and THIS comes roaring through my headphones and just about knocks me out of the bed!:
The reason for the loudness, Petra was recorded at one level and Stryper was recorded at another. Hence the knockage outta beddage! 😀 Also, Bob just put the one song on there to take extra space on the tape.
This most likely explains why I am so weird… or at least half deaf. huh? What? 😉 😛 😀 😆
Aaaah…. Memories…. 😉

Come on, the President has got to eat. He is not fat off of the tax payers money and I and others have been to training around the world and have spent more money then the prices of these meal. Get a life, why don’t you? Don’t get mad because the president is eating, wait until he doesn’t something wrong.
Man, and she’s a Catholic student or a teacher. 😯
I just wonder if Our Lady on Lake knows if their staff and students are reading blogs, like mine, on time when their supposed to be studying or working.
Also, Mrs. Real. I got news for you lady, President Shrimpy McWaffle has been “Doesn’t something wrong” since the day he was elected. I mean, His economy policies have been a total failure, the Nation is even MORE divided since we was elected; even more so than when George W. Bush was in the White House. It has been so bad, that now liberals, like you, are now using the last card in their arsenal, the race card.
Having said all that, where’s my dog picture at?
Ah, here it is!
The Latest from White Trashville USA
I am of course, referring to Sarah Palin’s home state and city.
First, Ricky Hollywood says, “I take that back!”:
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Levi Johnston, the father of Sarah Palin’s grandson, says he wishes he hadn’t apologized for telling lies about the former Alaska governor because he’s “never lied about anything.”
Johnston said in an interview on CBS’ “The Early Show” to air Friday that he wishes that he hadn’t issued the apology to Palin.
“I don’t really regret anything,” Johnston said, who has appeared nude on the cover of Playgirl. “But the only thing I wish I wouldn’t have done is put out that apology ’cause it kind of makes me sound like a liar. And I’ve never lied about anything. So that’s probably the only thing. The rest of the stuff I can live with.”
CBS said the interview was taped Thursday in Los Angeles.
What that idiot will not do to get in the spotlight. 🙄
Next Sarah Palin’s slut daughter to appear on “Acting stupidly Dancing with the Stars“:
It’s the Dancing With the Stars casting that no one saw coming!
We can report to you exclusively that Sarah Palin’s 19-year-old daughter Bristol Palin has been cast on the 11th season of DWTS, set to premiere Sept. 20, according to sources.
As for the reports that David Hasselhoff, Audrina Patridge, The Situation and Brandy will also be part of the cast, here’s the deal:
All true, according to sources.
However, from what I’m hearing about those other rumors, Kirstie Alley won’t be there–and neither will anyone of Bachelor or Bachelorette fame (sorry, Ali and Roberto!), unless there are a few last-minute switcheroos.
A rep for ABC says: “We don’t comment on casting rumors. The real Dancing With the Stars cast will be revealed Monday, Aug. 30, live on ABC during Bachelor Pad.”
Great. Now I get to watch some backwoods Alaskan White Trash Bitch MILF cut a rug on National TV.
Like I said, what these two train wrecks will not do, to remain in the spotlight. I guess they learned well from their mother and former mother-in law to be.
It is a sad tragic thing to watch. Hell, even the Palin lovers cannot defend this one; at least not very well.
Speaking of wandering off the plantation: There goes Paul Krugman
WOW! 😯
You would think they would keep those Plantation gates closed and locked!
What will Ben Bernanke, the Fed chairman, say in his big speech Friday in Jackson Hole, Wyo.? Will he hint at new steps to boost the economy? Stay tuned.
But we can safely predict what he and other officials will say about where we are right now: that the economy is continuing to recover, albeit more slowly than they would like. Unfortunately, that’s not true: this isn’t a recovery, in any sense that matters. And policy makers should be doing everything they can to change that fact.
The small sliver of truth in claims of continuing recovery is the fact that G.D.P. is still rising: we’re not in a classic recession, in which everything goes down. But so what?
The important question is whether growth is fast enough to bring down sky-high unemployment. We need about 2.5 percent growth just to keep unemployment from rising, and much faster growth to bring it significantly down.
Yet growth is currently running somewhere between 1 and 2 percent, with a good chance that it will slow even further in the months ahead. Will the economy actually enter a double dip, with G.D.P. shrinking? Who cares? If unemployment rises for the rest of this year, which seems likely, it won’t matter whether the G.D.P. numbers are slightly positive or slightly negative. All of this is obvious. Yet policy makers are in denial.
Countdown to someone within the White House or Democratic Party or within the liberal establishment to holler “RAAAACIST!”
Oh, right, he’s a Democrat. my bad…:
President Obama: “Come on Guys, Let a brother buy some shrimp!”
Heh, Yes, I know he didn’t exactly say that. But hey, it makes for a very funny headline. :p
The Video:
The Story Via ABC News: (H/T to AllahPundit)
President Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, and their two daughters Sasha and Malia traveled to Nancy’s Restaurant on the waterfront of the Oak Bluffs section of Martha’s Vineyard Wednesday afternoon.
Crowds gathered to watch as the president, wearing his White Sox baseball cap, noted the abundance of Red Sox caps. He and the First Lady shook hands and posed for pictures with folks in the crowd. The president ordered from the take-out window of the snack bar section of the eatery.
“I love your watch,” one woman told the First Lady, referencing a purple watch on her left wrist.
“Oh, thank you,” the First Lady said. “It was a gift.”
She gestured towards her husband, who was shaking hands behind her.
“I think somebody told him,” she said.
“Where’s my wife?” the president asked at one point.
Crowds shouted for her attention.
“How you guys doing?” she asked. “Drying off? Finally.”
