Hello. No real substance here but I thought many of us would enjoy WaPo's humor columnist Gene Weingarten's take on how the "liberal media" is handling Obama.
For those of you who don't know Gene, he was the man who hired Dave Barry at the Miami Herald and was his editor for many years.
Some choice passages from his column to whet your whistle:
Obama's Looks: What we have here is a man whom women swoon over, even though it is plainly apparent that he is a dead ringer for one of those long-faced, spaniel-eared Easter Island heads. There hasn't been this aggressively un-handsome a presidential contender since, I guess, Abraham Lincoln, the Great Emancipator, who single-handedly preserved our nation, binding its racial wounds, and who was also known for being an eloquent speaker. A really, really eloquent speaker. Hey, do you remember when Obama said, "Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek"? Do you realize the amazing economy of words in that . . .
and
Obama's "Experience": Has no one noticed that, by and large, this man is as unseasoned as a hospital hamburger? As green as a granny on a Tilt-a-Whirl? Obama has done absolutely nothing remotely qualifying him for the presidency. He'd hardly set foot in the Senate before he started his campaign, so his experience is essentially that of a lawyer and a state legislator. There hasn't been this empty a résumé for a presidential candidate since, uh, hmm. Abe Lincoln. Lawyer and state legislator. Whoa, and they're both from Illinois! It's almost as though God Himself is endorsing . . .
It not a long column but it may bring a smile... enjoy.
