Quote of the Day

“Voting with George Bush 90% of the time isn’t being a maverick, it’s being the President’s sidekick. The idea that John McCain represents change in Washington is as laughable as his claim that he’ll take on the special interests when some of the biggest corporate lobbyists in America are running his campaign,” said Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton.

I hope they continue this line of attack. Most of McCain’s claims are ridiculous, it’s about time they started laughing at them. Or maybe I watch too much of the Daily Show. Anyway, I still think it’s a good strategy.

This morning I called Westmoreland’s office:

Them: Good morning, Congressman Westmoreland’s office. Me: Good morning, I would like to make a public comment. Them: Yes, sir, what is your comment? Me: I would like to compliment Congressman Westmoreland on his comments yesterday about Barack Obama. We need more people like him to call a spade a spade. You crackers in Georgia must be very proud. Them: [long pause] Sir, there’s no need to be insulting. Me: I’m sorry, but how did I insult you? Them: There is no need to call me a cracker. Me: I’ve never heard that term used in a derogatory sense. It is important to note that the dictionary definition of “cracker” is “a thin, crisp biscuit.” That’s what we meant by cracker when we used it in the city where I grew up. Them: Well, that’s not how you meant it. Me: Oh, so what you’re saying is that you don’t like being called names. Now you know how it feels. Them: [another long pause] Sir, I have to take another call.
