If not, he appears to be exhibiting signs of hittin’ the pipe. Now, I can’t comment on whether or not this is related to his love of licking crack…that is another story.

Anyway, the following is yet another attempt by the Clintons to smear Obama:

Bill Clinton Accuses Obama Camp of Stirring Race Issue

By KATHARINE Q. SEELYE

Published: January 24, 2008

KINGSTREE, S.C. — Former President Bill Clinton defended himself Wednesday against accusations that he and his wife had injected the issue of race into the Democratic presidential primary in South Carolina, and he accused Senator Barack Obama of Illinois of putting out a “hit job” on him. (click here for the full article).

Think about this and recent comments spewed by Bill Clinton. Now imagine these same comments were being made by the spouse of any other candidate in the race. Are you starting to see how ridiculous this is? Do Bill and Hillary really want to sling shit? If we are going to go way back, then let’s do it. Now, I am of the mind that it is impossible for a successful politician to maintain the same position on the same issues over time and avoid any sort of association with anyone who might be or become unsavory. Don’t get me wrong, I do believe that one should not knowingly have direct or indirect associations with the criminal element but most of us accept that at some point during a politician’s career, the criminal will seep into the sphere of influence, typically in a fine, tailored suit and tie, with checkbook in hand. All of this leads me to ponder about Whitewater and drops me square into the crotch of the Chinese donor whom I believe was accused of multiple felonies related to his fundraising on behalf of the Clintons. If I recall, he even tried to flee the country when charged. I will have to do some additional research to dig up these old stories.

It is my hope that anyone from any year who had any interaction with either Bill or Hillary Clinton that was illegal, possibly illegal, immoral, or simply less than presidential, now is the time to share it with the public. I don’t believe that any of us are perfect and all of us have done or said things in the past that we would change if given the opportunity to do so. But the Clintons are playing unfair and they should heed the old saying about “people who live in a glass house…”

What about the following rumor: Hillary Clinton is a lesbian.

I will have to do a bit of researc and pick up this alleged remor at a later date…

Oh, I forgot to mention that he is white! The incident occurred some time ago and is just making it into the mainstream media, likely because there is a civil lawsuit in play. Absolutely, the police, whom we entrust to protect and serve should not beat the shit out of anyone. They are (supposidly) trained to take you into custody alive or use deadly force when absolutely required. I am actually Ok with the deadly force part, when justified. The problem has become that all of the recent instances of alleged police abuse that have come to my attention don’t appear to be justified.

I will be the first to say that I do need glasses and the resolution on my new 52″ big-screen television might have a few fingerprints on it. Sure, my eyes could be deceiving me when I see multiple law enforcement officers beating the shit out of a single suspect. Just like Rodney King, there may very well be something going on right in front of my eyes that I am simply not processing….

Anyway, I am sorry to say that I am not too sympathetic to this guy, only because he is white and, frankly, black folks have the shit beat out of them (of they are lucky) and are oftentimes killed (if they are not so lucky) on a regular basis. Nobody seems to care, really. In fact, abusive law enforcement officers often get away with it, even when their illegal behavior is somehow captured on video. Don’t forget, there is a widely held belief that black folks are guilty until proven innocent.

If you happen to find the video online, please post the link here in a comment.

Just say this on NBC Channel 4 in Los Angeles, reported by Fred Roggan as sports news.  I have to start by saying that I am completely dumfounded by the rumor that Shaq’s wife was “stealing” money and assets from Shaq, which lead to the divorce in the first place!  With that level of income, they were alleged spending $22,000 per month for maid service alone!  Anyway, it is not completely surprising, given they way that it is rumored that Shaq “stole” her from her then husband.

Now I don’t know about you but for $22K per month, I am pretty well convinced that I could bring myself to clean up after the O’Neal family.  Afterall, he is not likely to piss on the toilet any more than any other man.  And I am sure that his skid marks are on par with any other man’s.  Think about it this way, most of us do the same housekeeping duties for nothing, complaining all the way.  Now obviously, if you are one of those bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan women who are clocking big dollars, then by no means would the Shaq gig be a winning situation for you.

Just thought that I would share this…the income doesn’t astound me; rather, it is the amount that they are allegedly spending on maid service that caught my ear.

Sure, Obama is struggling, as he doesn’t have the years of practicing the slip ‘n slide that the Clintons have. Hillary and Bill have stooped to a low that is unbecoming of a former president. It wasn’t Obama’s comment that was racist, rather, it was the initial question posed to his as to whether he is in agreement with a comment made more than a decade ago by a notable African American Nobel prize winner as to whether Bill was the “first Black President.”  Why are African American’s consistently made to rationalize, justify, and otherwise explain comments made by other African Americans who are in no way related, other than by race? Let’s be real about the mainstream media continuing to race bait throughout the campaign.

Everyone knows that a young lawyer struggling to be successful in a law firm does what he is told. The very nature of large law firms is to protect, at all cost, its clients who can afford to pay for the very best legal defense, slum loard or not. Assuming that Obama’s role was as he explained it to be, being a junior associate and performing work on behalf of such a client does not represent the travesty that Hillary made it out to be during last night’s debate.

Bottom line is that Obama is double digit IQ points ahead of current president George Bush and if our current president were to be held to the same standard as we are currently holding Obama, or any current candidate, I am certain that he would be impeached. I am tired of the lying, theft, fear mongering and blatent disregard for the American citizen. We commit unfathomable sums of money to Iraq and other nations; yet, our country, its infrastructure and economy is crumbling before us. Come on, if Hillary really wants to be judged on her “record” then let’s talk about how little she has truly accomplished in her long tenure as a “woman of the people,” first lady and senator. She and Bill are wolves in sheeps clothing and talk the talk but don’t walk the walk.

i will support obama over hillary. she is white first and does not serve as a role model to either my son or my daughter. obama in the white house will lift our nation and move it forward in a way that has not happened since the 60’s. hillary is simply more of the same. not to mention, it is not in the nature of bill clinton to be the first man and not greatly influence the decisions of his wife.

the bottom line is that rational, thinking human beings, to the same degree that everyone else is. the difference is that we have NEVER had the opportunity to support an African American candidate who is equally respected and supported by non-blacks. let’s be real. until the media asks every white voter whether they will vote their race or be willing to support a jew, or wasp, then this conversation should end now. the media is guilty of feeding into the senseless conversation being put forth by the clinton machine. i am embarrassed for the former president and appalled, but not surprised.

why in the world is this being tolerated by the executive decision makers at what used to be a respectable news organization. ted turner must be cringing now. is this really news or just entertainment tonight sensationalism delivered by suited anchors with gray hair?

so let me get this straight, we are entering a severe recession, our sitting president wants to start WWIII before he leaves office, our national infrastructure is crumbling, millions of americans cannnot afford health insurance or prescription drugs, our prisons are overflowing, the wave of foreclosures before us is likely to be the single greatest economic disaster in history, we still have not addressed the destruction of hurricane katrina, millions of young men are in prison, the high school graduation rate of our country’s young people is dropping every year, and illegal aliens from mexico and elsewhere in south america are draining our country of every natural and man made resource, and the most pressing issues that came out of last night’s presidential debate is whether black people will vote for obama because he is black, whether former president bill clinton was really the FIRST black president, and whether obama praised ronald reagan.

in the end, i think that we are all in agreement that politicians win votes based upon affinity. obama is certainly a black man but he is a candidate first and has never put forth his race as part of his “qualifications” for the presidency of the united states. unlike hilary who is actively courting the female vote and maccain

Chuck Norris raised a good point, John McCain IS way too old to run for president.  God forbid he is elected and doesn’t see it through his term and Huckabee is the Veep.  I think that, unfortunately, there are serious candidates running for president who could be as bad (stupid, dumb, ignorant, etc.) as current president bush.

On a side note, Chuck Norris is irrelevant to everything.   Please let us live with our fond memories of you as a kung fu star from the 70’s and don’t force us to really tell you what we think about a has been, washed up, never will be again, actor.

John Edwards didn’t waste any time bashing Hillary when he thought that Barak had a strong chance of becoming the democratic nominee. now that barak was beaten by hillary in nevada, john was clearly taking advantage of every opportunity that he could this evening to bash, rather than defend, barak. Come on John, have a backbone and quit sucking up to whichever between hillary and barak you think is leading in the polls.

Johnny boy was clearly uncomfortable during the debate, being unable to chime in with a “me too” when the discussion focused on being disadvantaged. he tried his best not squirm but could not avoid the uncomfortable shaking of his feet under the chair.

Also, you and Hillary should stop your whining and embarrassing efforts to prove that “you have a black friend.” Just say what you mean and mean what you say. The facts will speak for themselves.
