Harmless Merriment
WashingtonPost columnist, George F. Will, rips Hillary’s campaign a new one:
Clinton’s clanking, wheezing political jalopy, blowing its gaskets and stripping its lug nuts, has moved on from faulting Obama for a kindergarten essay (in which he supposedly revealed a presidential ambition that was unseemly around the teeter-totter) to accusing him of wanting to be reasonable, even likable. Is there nothing the man will not stoop to?
America has passed another milestone on its march to equal opportunity thanks to Robert Johnson, founder of Black Entertainment Television, who this week proved that a black billionaire can be just as witless as are certain white billionaires who think their wisdom is commensurate with their net worth. Introducing Clinton at a rally, Johnson called Obama a “guy who says, ‘I want to be a reasonable, likable Sidney Poitier in ‘Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.’ ” For the uninitiated, that is how you call someone an Uncle Tom in an age that has not read “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.”
