I shrug off racist shrews like Geraldine Ferraro. That bitch couldn't even bring in one state back in '84, the biggest landslide election (for Reagan) in the history of the electoral college. As for SHE-CLINTON, the strength of my Magnanimous Ray will wilt away that drawn on smile of hers (and that cackle!).

Never fear, my mortal Americans. I will protect you from Al Qeada by the very confusing juxtaposition of electing a man who shares the same name (Hussein) as one of our most despised, late, enemies.

I AM OBAMA MAN!

Everytime I get close to really liking the guy (as opposed to making a lesser of two evils choice,) I see something like this and it reminds me of how little dude has really accomplished and how insanely high some folks have set their expectations. I'm really done with personality politics. That's how we got Bush. (Yes, I know, Obama will be miles better than Bush, but I'm not convinced he's quite what some want him to be either.)

Also, @Pupster: indeed. RS may have some of the only decent dead tree political writing, but who cares about Wenner's opinion?

Also: Dear Overlords, you mistyped "critically" up top there.

I know some of the letters are the same, but RS' National Affairs Correspondent is Matt Taibbi. More "fucks," fewer bylines in the New York Times.

I'm a Obama supporter, but these beatifications are not helpful.

That said, I'm sure he loves the endless comparisons between himself and two presidents who were eventually assassinated.

Inconveniently, Sen. Clinton prevailed in those states and in Rhode Island. Thus the March 20 issue..."

While Clinton won the Texas primary, I was under the impression that Obama "prevailed" in Texas because he received more total delegates as a result of the primary / caucus set-up there. Anyone?
