Hee Haw
Mayor Marty “I’ve never passed up a chance to waste taxpayers’ money” Chavez is an ass. No, not a jackass. I live right next door to a little herd of donkeys and I can assure you, they are superior, intellectually and morally, to Albuquerque’s mayor.
Ass, as in “asshole.” Mirroring the desperation of Hillary Clinton, like a good little minion, he’s whining about Gov. Richardson’s endorsement of Obama. At this point, you can smell the desperation of the Hillary camp from space. What iota of respect I had for HRC has evaporated in the hot air given off by her campaign. (As of late, she’s still flogging the “Obama’s pastor is a scary black man, so, uh, guilt by association,” meme.) If she steals the nomination, I guess I’ll have no choice but to vote for her. But it’ll go way beyond holding my nose and voting. I’ll need a HAZMAT suit to cast that vote.
Meanwhile, Huckabee, of all people, actually said something reasonable regarding the Wright fiasco. Who-da-thunk it?
And one other thing I think we’ve gotta remember. As easy as it is for those of us who are white, to look back and say “That’s a terrible statement!”…I grew up in a very segregated south. And I think that you have to cut some slack — and I’m gonna be probably the only Conservative in America who’s gonna say something like this, but I’m just tellin’ you — we’ve gotta cut some slack to people who grew up being called names, being told “you have to sit in the balcony when you go to the movie. You have to go to the back door to go into the restaurant. And you can’t sit out there with everyone else. There’s a separate waiting room in the doctor’s office. Here’s where you sit on the bus…” And you know what? Sometimes people do have a chip on their shoulder and resentment. And you have to just say, I probably would too. I probably would too. In fact, I may have had more of a chip on my shoulder had it been me.
MIKA: I agree with that. I really do.
