Don’t Hurt Me

New York Times – President Obama has petitioned a Virginia Superior Court judge to issue a restraining order against Fox News contributor Brit Hume prior to tonight’s Presidential debate at James Madison University.

Obama stated in his complaint he fears for his campaign and is concerned Hume may “rough him up” in his role as moderator of the debate.  The President wants Hume enjoined from coming within 500 feet of him with a question which might appear harmless but could be used to bludgeon him.

Drop the Ballot; Step Away from the Voting Booth

Reuters – In a massive protest today against the almost certain election of Republican Mitch Daniels to the Presidency, Democrats across the country avoided the polls, casting the integrity of the results into doubt.

In Washington, Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) said it was heroic for 30 million Democrats to choose self-disenfranchisement rather than allow their votes to count for nothing.  An AP survey last weekend had the President down to Daniels by 20%, despite gross oversampling of Wisconsin academics.

But most black politicians never even get that far. Although demographics have shifted, the state is still largely controlled by the bastard idiot children of the Tammany Hall ethnic groups — the Irish, the Italians and the Jews — who grabbed controlled of the Democrat Party starting in the late 19th century and never let go. (Someone should write a novel on this subject!) For years, the Republicans controlled the state senate under their leader, Joe Bruno, the Democrats ran the assembly under their leader, Sheldon Silver, and the two criminal organizations split control of the state house under various hapless nonentities like George Pataki.

Until David Paterson found himself sitting in Albany in the wake of Eliot “Love Client No. 9″ Spitzer’s sudden resignation, black politicians needed not apply — as Carl McCall, the former state comptroller, found out in 2002, when he fought a bruising primary battle for the Democrat gubernatorial nomination against Andrew Cuomo, son of the former governor, and incurred the wrath of the Clinton Machine.  The sleazy, slippery Cuomo, currently state attorney general, had Paterson in his sights this year and probably would have defeated him in a primary until the New York Times did his dirty work for him and Paterson announced he would not run this fall.
