Obama and Hil(l)ary
I have a new position on Obama and Hil(l)ary, too, re the black and woman thing. (Obama/black, Hil(l)ary/woman.) It's kind of racist, so read no further if you're a progressive Progressive and not, well, a kind of racist Progressive, I guess.
Oh, and I'm white so it's not like I have ths inside scoop on being black so I'm allowed to say how it is based on appearances.
My point is, Obama just doesn't seem black (when you compare him to rappers and gangsters) so I can't see how it will hold him back or get him shot or anything. Unless it's the not seeming black part that ends up getting black politicians assassinated (and really, there's just been the one - hasn't there? - I mean, Gawd, I'm sure there have been more white politicians assassinated by far in the United States, so this whole "oh no - he'll be assassinated because he's black" hue and cry is a bit over the top - don't you think?).
So yeah, I figure he'll get the black vote minus the rappers and gangsters, and lots of white votes from both Democrats and Republicans who know, intellectually, that he's black but don't care because he seems enough like Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice to trust with the keys to the Oval Office.
Oh - or just don't care that he's black because they aren't racist.
With regards to Hil(l)ary, well, who really thinks of Hil(l)ary as a woman? C'mon. Nooooobody. She's a politician. Not a woman.
I mean, really, if there's a black woman in this whole thing, it's gotta be Rudy Giuliani. Seriously. That guy's got more baggage than Liz Taylor on a cruise around the world. He's even got a bit part (you don't see him, you just hear him referenced) in "Charlie Wilson's War" playing a McCarthy-like character after our hero - Charlie Wilson (who seems himself to have been a bit of a modern day Rudy Giuliani - at least where parties (not Parties) are concerned).
So really, I think we can all put to rest this scare mongering about the Democrat candidate having to be John Edwards (heheh - that was me back there in C'monRudy!!) because Americans won't vote for a black or female candidate for President.
In fact, I think they could both stand to fake it a little more so people don't forget they actually are black and female and can vote for them with a clear conscience, "Look how not racist or sexist I am - I even voted for Obama/Hil(l)ary."
For instance, maybe every once in a while Obama could say, "Wtf? It's because I'm black, isn't it!" and Hil(l)ary could say, "Oh!Oh! Would you ask a MAN that question?!"
Just to remind Democrats of how important the race/sex card really is.
And they should do it to John Edwards. You know, squeeze him in to the middle with their black femaleness on either end so he eventually snaps, "C'mon people! I'm white! I'm a man! C'mon!" - finally putting out there what everybody who's anybody seems to think everybody who isn't anybody is thinking anyway.
Gawd liberals are terrible snobs, aren't they?
