THE VIEW STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSE’S, UMM, MOUTH

I’ve always appreciated the existential query as to why God made so many more horse’s asses than He made horses.

Actually, there doesn’t seem to be anything very existential about the question but since Charlie Gibson threw the word around in his interview with Governor Palin I thought I too could be pretentious and use it.

In any event, the reason for my confusion on horses and their body parts came to mind after reading some of Bill Clinton’s remarks made on “The View” and watching those five prime examples of feminine pulchritude sucking up to the former president, so to speak.

It seems the good ladies had exhausted their meanness on John McCain a few weeks back. They were veritable sitting exemplars of sweetness and light with Clinton. Nary a mean word was spake, nary a probing question was asked, and the ladies refrained from a single eyeroll that I could detect from these clips: http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/09/bill-clinton-hi.html

Someone asked him if Hillary wanted the VP slot under Obama, and Bubba, ever the epitome of truth, said, No, but that he did believe she would have been the best pick. (Translation: Barack blew it.)

I don’t assume to be able to read the minds of Bill and Hil; I wouldn’t want to know all that goes on in those black holes anyway. But, based on past experience, I wouldn’t believe a word that either utters.

Senator Clinton may very well have accepted the veep nomination but, if she had, it wouldn’t have been out of a sense of “duty,” as Bubba claimed. The only duty either of the Clintons feel is toward the Clintons and any other responsibilities are extraneous, at best.

He also claimed that his bride ”loves being a senator for New York and has more freedom to develop her positions on the issues and her things.” He didn’t elaborate on “her things” and one can only guess at what they are. However, if she so absolutely loves her senatorial job, ...

OBAMA AND HIS TAINTED, ADOPTIVE TOWN, CHICAGO: PART ONE

We are all products of our heritage and products of our placement and situation in our times.

Some of us are products of our minds, as well, that is, some of us are who and what we think we are and want to be.

If we are born into difficult life situations, most of us in America scrabble and scramble to change and improve that lot in life; if we start out at the opposite end of the spectrum, Americans may try to improve it further but, at the minimum, seek to maintain their status quo.

Much has been written of the early life of Democratic presidential candidate, Senator Barack Hussein Obama, beginning with his given names and the resultant contentious debate over his middle name, especially.

Obviously, he didn’t choose his family or his names, although it should be pointed out that when he entered college he did choose to change how he wished to be addressed, from his longtime nickname of Barry to the more formal, and more Islamic, Barack.

Much has been written about Obama but not nearly as much attention has been paid to the place to which he was drawn before and after attending Yale Law School, namely America’s Second City, the Windy City and, probably, the most politically corrupt city in the nation, Chicago...

DIRECT FROM RUMOR CONTROL: BIDEN DROPS OFF TICKET!

Rudy Giuliani said that Joe Biden had better get Obama’s VP nomination in writing and the rumor mill has been percolating since the Democratic convention that somehow, some way Hillary would get the job even though Joe had the nomination.

Now it’s in from Rumor Control Central, (an authoritative doctor I know), that Joseph Beauregard Biden will shortly contract a mysterious illness and be “forced” to remove himself from the Dem ticket.

As Bubba pronounced on “The View,” (See: “Straight From the Horse’s, Umm, Mouth,” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/), Hillary didn’t want the VP nomination anyway but would accept it if duty called.

Duty will soon be on the line begging Hillary to save the party, save the nation, and save Pelosi’s planet and she will grudgingly accept the call and the nod.

It all makes sense, really. An election that should have been in the bag for Obama has been slip, slip, slipping away ever since Governor Palin came on the scene. Something just had to be done to save the Obamassiah.

Biden greased his own skids when he recently said that Senator Clinton would have been the better choice and has been applying regular coatings of grease with his flubs over AIG, clean coal, asking a paraplegic in Missouri to stand, and calling an Obama ad on McCain, “terrible.”

Joe will soon be off to the showers where he will make a remarkable recovery from his ailment, on or about November 5th.

It all matters not. McCain/Palin will still trounce Obama/Clinton.

Remember, you heard it all here first. (http://genelalor.com/)
