Barack Obama learns his opponent's name.

Comments

Explicit mention of Clinton is probably good sense politically. But in a way it misses the point.

The real danger of Clinton's candidacy is probably not so much that she's 'Bush-Lite' incarnate. Rather, it's that she's happily ensconsed amongst the corps of hangers-on and apparatchiks who form the unthinking consensus within the Democratic Party.

Clinton may be his opponent, but she is not the problem.

Explicit mention of Clinton would be: Fcuk the bitch!

Come on, Matt. How about a little warning before you direct us over to the old queen mother. I know I'm not the arbiter of what you should link to, but some of us thought Andrew (despite being hot in a weird sort of way) was always a blithering idiot from clear back in the New Republic days (do pass that on to him will you, not the hot part but the blithering idiot part). BTW, that illustration has way too much hair (not that I'm not losing mine, I'm just saying).

So the previous story gets 31 comments, the next one gets about 18...and this one gets 3. Are the number of comments proportional to MY's word volume or do people just not care about Obama?

It's because the magical negro effect is wearing off.
