Political Pyro

In an election year that has become increasingly dull since the departure of Hillary Clinton, it seems that the fun is actually getting ramped up again with the introduction of Steve Schmidt into the McCain campaign. Schmidt was one of the architects (along with Karl Rove) of the 2004 George W. Bush re-election campaign that produced some of the sleaziest most entertaining moments in modern campaign history.

It seems Schmidt’s presence in the campaign is lighting a much-needed fire under the asses of the McCain camp the way Maggie Williams did for Hillary with the "kitchen sink". But with the mainstream media so firmly in the tank for The Messiah, providing him with 24-hour non-stop coverage, what else is the man to do for some airtime?

Bob Herbert wrote an opinion piece for The New York Times, Running While Black, slamming the newly invigorated McCain campaign for its latest political ad, "Celebrity". While trying to be critical of McCain’s new tactics, Herbert merely solidifies my earliest assumption that Obama and his media minions have been playing the race card all along. Only now, they are becoming more obvious about it. Here is the opening paragraph to Herbert’s piece:                                           

Gee, I wonder why, if you have a black man running for high public office — say, Barack Obama or Harold Ford — the opposition feels compelled to run low-life political ads featuring tacky, sexually provocative white women who have no connection whatsoever to the black male candidates.

 
You’ve got to be kidding me, Bob. The first thing you think about when you see those two women are the fact that they don’t wear panties? And did you just use the word "slimy" in reference to two women without underwear? The innuendoes are really flying out there, Bob.

Dude, close the laptop, grab your jacket, and procede to the nearest bar. You’ve got some serious internal issues. I suggest you start off with four Martini’s and just keep pounding them till all this blows over. Did you pick up on my subliminal message for you in the previous sentence? That’s right, better find an ATM…
