A modified, limited hangout
Is Obama=Tricky Dick, as VDH says, or =Bubba, as the girly boy says? Either way, what happened to the "new politics"? Sounds like deja vu all over again to me.

Enough identity politics, AI. Anyone delving in such matters is a moron.
BTW, Who is this Rich Lowry? You post him a lot. You think he's hat good? Why you callin' him a fag?
Lowry used to be WFB's heir apparent for a while, but now it looks like he lost to the Lopez gal. The "girly boy" moniker is due to Ann "Nazi bitch" Coulter -- who had a run-in with Lowry in the immediate aftermath of 9/11.
For those of you tool young to remember the Nixonian reference in the title, here is the relevant quote from the Nixon tapes:
PRESIDENT: You think, you think we want to, want to go
this route now? And the--let it hang out, so to speak?
DEAN: Well, it's, it isn't really that--
HALDEMAN: It's a limited hang out.
DEAN: It's a limited hang out.
EHRLICHMAN: It's a modified limited hang out.
PRESIDENT: Well, it's only the questions of the thing hanging out publicly or privately.
Georgetown prof and a media flak put a positive spin on things: he stood forthright, and was explicit, in denouncing and distancing himself from any sense of wrong-doing with Mr. Rezko, and certainly distancing himself from the so-called inflammatory rhetoric of his pastor. [..] I actually think now it might turn out to be a positive for Obama in a funny way, because it so completely puts to rest this notion that he's a secret Muslim.
Just words: what was that thing about Romans and Italians?
Steyn chimes in: Obama embodies an idea: He’s a symbol of redemption and renewal, and a lot of other airy-fairy abstractions that don’t boil down to much except making upscale white liberals feel good about themselves and get even more of a frisson out of white liberal guilt than they usually do. Sure, that's part of the shtick. And it works wonders in Pepeland.
The Reverend Wright can’t say those words [Irving Berlin's]. His shtick is:
God damn America
Land that I loathe.
Music to the ears on Planet Pepe.
Thanks for the Nixin and Steyn. As for Nixon I seem to remember a quote to the effect of "are we just farting around or do we have the shit to back this up?"
Se non e vero, ...
