Thanks for nothing (5.00 / 5) (#80)

Can I have back the time I just wasted following your links? The Wonkette piece consists of the author repeating elements of Spivak's article, followed by a snarky comment that adds absolutely no substance. The I went to the Vanity Fair article, wading through the glowing ass kissing we have come to expect from the media. It offers some support for the notion that Obama was instrumental in passing the death penalty bill, but that's all (although I have read different opinions from an Illinois anti-death penalty activist.)Seven pages of ass kissing, and a couple of paragraphs on the death penaly bill. Thanks.

I was amused, however, by this from Vanity Fair: "It has become all but impossible to mention Obama without invoking the name of his fellow Illinoisan Abraham Lincoln" Gee, could that be because his starry-eyed supporters continually compare him to Lincoln? That constant copmparison is particularly annoying to me. He's a Senator in the middle of an undistinguished first term, and he's already Abraham Lincoln with the moral courage of Martin Luther King. Any wonder why so many Dems are sick of this guy?
