We got the script - Lets make a movie
Shapiro falls into the same trap all journalists do, that is the script once it gets started is more appealing than the facts. This is entertainment right? A little artistic license is warranted, no?
Well, no. Obama's K-Mart shot was not retaliation to the Clintons Rezco shot, in this debate it was Obama who flung mud first. But the script demands that the shrewd tough, Hillary politicial hack has run up against the young and pure Obama politician who does not get dirty but gets tough when backed into a corner. Sheesh, get me a producer, we'll have Art Chudabala play the innocent and pure and any actress from any day time soap who plays the part of the bitch play the shrewd politician. Skip the fukkin election and we'll just make a fukkin movie and be done with it.
Look, when someone becomes a politician, they leave certain things at the door that most decent people would not. Obama like Hillary, like McCain is a politician. Obama acting the part of the more humble, honest, or ethical politician is no more than a political strategy. Look at his religious pandering to Christians to see his true colors. Look at his "present" votes, not making a vote which allows him to criticize the ones who did vote. I am not saying he is more of a political hack than Hillary, I am saying he is no better and its annoying when people go starry eyed, fall in love with the script and avoid the obvious.
And comments like "Would anyone want to have coffee with the woman we saw in that debate?" do not help.
The dumb-ass sentiment that question comes from is related to the "He's the type of guy you'd like to have a beer with", method of evaluating a candidate. And that worked out real well.
