Update: The lines were longer than usual.
As usual Gib echoes my sentiments and makes funnier, more interesting, and better written points than me. Read the whole thing.
1. Apparently it's perfectly OK to buy an election, and "I'm more likely to win if I flat-out buy the thing" is a perfectly ethical excuse. Don't worry, Obama supporters have too much integrity to gripe about it if you try it yourself.
2. During Obama's term of office, his children will grow into young women, and a decision will have to be made as to whether to allow them to grow up in relative privacy, or to lurk about them like vultures, waiting for the opportunity to use them to further your own partisan advantage. The person who gets to decide which route we take is Bristol Palin.
3. Remember when Ayers or Wright would come up in conversation, and Obama supporters would decry the use of sideshow issues to distract America from talking about real issues? This was all a way of offering a tear-filled apology to former Senator George Allen for the whole "macaca" thing. If they could do it all over again, George, they totally would.
4. Speaking of Ayers, once Obama wins, can we finally go ahead and admit that when Obama first met him, he thought he was really cool? An impressionable young liberal out to change the world gets to meet someone who actually, literally fought The Man, and he thought that was wicked sweet! He more or less grew out of it, but he felt the same way about Ayers in the 90's that I felt about Eazy-E a few years earlier, and for largely the same reasons. Of course, I had the semi-excuse of being a sheltered 16 year old idiot, but hey, people do dumb things when they're crazy kids in their early 30's.
