Grumpy Old Women
As a voting bloc, they’re not large, but they make up in vehemence what they lack in numbers.
Former vice presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro said today that she objected to the comparison Sen. Barack Obama drew between her and his former pastor in his speech on race relations Tuesday.
…
“To equate what I said with what this racist bigot has said from the pulpit is unbelievable,” Ferraro said today. “He gave a very good speech on race relations, but he did not address the fact that this man is up there spewing hatred.”
Well, that’s just one, you say.
This morning (Thursday 3/20/08) on WIP AM 610 Sports Radio in Philadelphia, host Angelo Cataldi interviewed Senator Obama. During the beginning of the segment (about 07:40 AM) Mr. Cataldi asked the Senator about his comments on Tuesday regarding his “white” grandmother. I am paraphrasing here, but his response was something like “She is a typical white person who fears people on the street.”
If he were my grandson, I’d box that young man’s Dumbo ears so hard his head would vibrate like the Liberty Bell.
But if Obama loses the old broads, there’s a preacher in Harlem who thinks he’s going to more than make up for it among the babes.
Reverend James David Manning:
Obama is a mack daddy. Obama pimps white women and black women. He got started — you didn’t notice him ’til he brought out those big-chested white women with their tight T-shirts and their short pants. That’s what a pimp does. A con. You don’t get your campaign started with a big-chested white woman, she must be a 54-D, double D. And a pair of shorts on. That’s what started his campaign! He put his name on two big 54-Ds. Obama, that’s where you first saw his name, that’s the first place I saw it, on two great big old (bleep). He’s a mack daddy. He pimps white women and black women. Obama is a long-legged mack daddy. I haven’t trashed Obama. His African-in-heat father went a-whoring after a trashy white woman. He was born trash. I said he was born trash. I didn’t trash him. I’m speaking the truth about him. Now, once again, I am a diplomat, but I’m not a compromiser. I got a word in my mouth! I said I got the Word of God in my mouth, and God’s not afraid of Obama or anybody else or Ted Kennedy or that little Caroline or anybody else!
God, I wish I could be this imaginative. Part of me thinks American liberal politics has jumped the shark—but part of me is hooked. It’s must-see policy.
