In the Heat of the Fight
With Bill Clinton as Rod Steiger and Barack Obama as Sidney Poitier. From the Noble Black Man’s climactic speech:
“You know the former president, who I think all of us have a lot of regard for, has taken his advocacy on behalf of his wife to a level that I think is pretty troubling,” Obama said during his first morning television interview since coming in second in Nevada. “He continues to make statements that are not supported by the facts — whether it’s about my record of opposition to the war in Iraq or our approach to organizing in Las Vegas.
“This has become a habit, and one of the things that we’re going to have to do is to directly confront Bill Clinton when he’s making statements that are not factually accurate,” Obama added.

Michelle is right: let’s just sit back and watch. The Clinton and Obama camps can no more keep the peace than Hamass and Fatah. Aunt Agatha and I usually get together for popcorn to watch the Palestinians at each others’ throats on Al Jazeera. But I’ve had to cut out the butter and salt (cholesterol, blood pressure) after so many indulgences.
