ElectionSnark (5 May)

May 5th, 2008 By: Jason, Managing Editor | Tags:

ElectionSnark goes missing for 3 days. Clinton and Obama campaigns both demand that the other apologize. McCain campaign manager jumps up and down in tie-dye clown suit screaming, “We Are Still Here, Dammit!”

Even stories headlined to be about McCain are mostly about Obama.

Obama and Clinton both win 4 half-delegates in primary voting on Guam. Entire nation half-cares. Almost. Plus or minus0.1%.

Clinton campaign promises voting rights for Guam on day before Guam primary. Clinton campaign swears it is not pandering and, by the way, the sky is not blue.

Clinton considers “nuclear option”. Choice of whether to target Iran or the Obama campaign remains undetermined.

Some bloggers are bored of talking about the perpetual Clinton campaign, so they write more posts about it.

1968, 1972, 1976, and now 1988 all campaign for status as the “official analogy for the endless 2008 election”. 1988’s new rise may be associated with its removal of Mark Penn as “strategic consultant”.

Bill Ayers hates the U.S. flag. The novelty of an anti-American recycled hippie with university tenure. Wow. That’s like the novelty of a black crow.

Anti-Obamites continue to find outrageous verbal gaffes. Next up: Obama states “the sun rises in the east” and insults the west, north, AND south!

PastorGate continues to plague Obama, causing him to still lead the race.

New York Times editorial demands detailed medical information on McCain to use as additional basis for its strong but of course completely objective and non-partisan opposition to him.

    Introducing her plans to overhaul the student loan system, Mrs. Clinton explains that although her father paid her tuition, room and board for college, he refused to pay more. “If I wanted a book or a cup of coffee, I had to pay for it with money I made,” she said Monday at a community college in Greenville, N.C. She never says the name Wellesley.This is a surprising turn in the Story of Hillary Clinton, who spent her Wellesley years as an activist and a student leader. She wrote a chapter of “Living History,” her autobiography, about the college, but never mentioned earning money. What the work was, she does not say in these speeches. (A campaign representative said she baby-sat, did research for a professor and supervised a park.) From there, Mrs. Clinton quickly turns to the concerns of the people standing before her, usually a few hundred and usually white.

    Yeah, that identifies with the multitude of folks that paid their own way.  YAF - Yet Another Fabrication by Clinton.
