Drudge has this up right now with the headline “Bill Clinton Lashes Out at Obama Supporter.” Mark my word, if Obama gets the nomination and the same thing happens with McCain the headline gets instantly rewritten to “Crazy Obama Cultist Heckles War Hero.”

More like “Heroic Hero McCain Demonstrates Heroism by Single-Handedly Smacking Down Demented Obamazoid.”

Couldn’t agree more. Alienating potential voters seems a really stupid thing to do.

Wasn’t his arm broke when he was tortured? And hasn’t he had limited use of his arms since that time? I read somewhere that because of what he was subjected to at the Hanoi Hilton he never regained complete use of his arm(s). If true, making fun of him for not being able to use his arms is both repulsive and a sure-fire way to get him support based on sympathy for what he endured. Just saying…

And as soon as Hillary is dispatched, Dowd will re-discover “Obambi”.

LooHoo:

He has limited range of motion in his arms from torture while a POW.

As I recall, films of him at liberation revealed an odd gait that is noticeable now as well and also from torture while a POW.

Injuries incurred in youth come back to haunt as we age but muscular/skeletal injuries do not necessarily otherwise effect general health.

Please remember, our greatest President was paralyzed from the waist down.

McCain went through terrible physical trauma in his youth, but that doesn’t mean his health is inadequate or that he lacks adequate vigor for the job.

I don’t think he’d do a lousy job because of his age or the injuries he suffered in his youth.

I believe he’d do a lousy job because he’s a Republican.

I believe that his range of mobility with both arms is impaired. The result of torture while a POW.

It’s hard to understand the denial.

Obama is going to shred John McCain’s ass. Because he can.

And Hillary Clinton cannot.

What’s she going to say, if she debates him?

“It’s terrible, John; you supported the surge.”?

At which point, the GOP will drag out the clip of her applauding lustily at the SOTU, while bush was making his last koolaid sales pitch.

Some have pointed out that “madrassa” means “school” in Arabic. However, what they didn’t notice is that they don’t speak Arabic in Indonesia, except when reciting from the Koran, which means they use Arabic the way Catholics used to use Latin.

In any case, no one in Indonesia ever called the school Obama attended a madrassa. When you explain that madrassa means “school”, you’re falling for it. They just made that crap up out of whole cloth.

Claire Shipman showing why TV is by the dumb for the dumb. 4 reasons why Texas is not California with the Hispanic vote:

1) It’s later.
2) They don’t vote as a block.
3) HRC will have money problems compared to Obama as to ads.
4) Most importantly delegate proportion is entirely dependent on turnout for the midterms in 2006. It was rock bottom for Hispanics and very high for blacks.

Whoopsie Claire. Details’ll get ya every time.
