  It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp

  By stating "I am willing to consider it if it's necessary to actually pass a comprehensive plan," The Man Who Will Be King is telling the opposition exactly what to demand.

  This is the Democratic voters' concept of a shrewd negotiator.

  Obama is shrewd, but the negotiation is with the Democratic base, not the Republicans and not the oil companies.

  Obama is compromising voters, not issues. And most are more than happy to be compromised.

  For nearly eight years, exasperated Democratic voters have repeatedly asked why their "leadership" was either (a.) spineless, (b.) complicit, or (c.) spineless and complicit.

  It's safe to say that particular "mystery" is revealed in the glorious exaltation of Compromise that is suddenly all the rage among the Savage Mule rank & file.

  That's why our criminal president will never have to pay for his crimes in any way, shape or form.

  Why would Obama support "limited" offshore drilling? Probably for the same reason he supported telecom amnesty, the FISA bill, the death penalty for crimes other than homicide, Bush's faith-based charities, and the scaling back of reproductive rights for women.

  It's really quite simple. Obama's a whore.

  Succinctly stated, Peter. Minor point of disagreement: I think of Obama as more of a benevolent pimp (as opposed to McCain as the misogynistic bitch-slappin' pimp.)

  It's the Democratic Faithful who are whores. The proverbial hooker with a heart of gold. They're gonna sell that poon to any politician whose name ends in (D). Gonna bend over and move it real good, take that "$1,000 energy rebate" and shut the hell up.

  Afterward, when the beaches, birds, fish & mammals are choked with petroleum from rigs unmoored by the hurricane no one could have predicted or the tanker that ooopsie-daisies a load because the captain is pukin' whiskey and blood below deck, Democratic voters will assume zero responsibility for the catastrophe. Outrage will fill the air. But not remorse, nor even a shard of regret for their own culpability.

  There is no betrayal - not one single betrayal - the vast majority of Democratic voters will refuse to rationalize, justify and, ultimately, praise.

  "But, hey, McCain's worse." It's the Magic Wand of Pragmatism.

  This nation truly deserves its fate.
