Did y'all see SNL a few weeks back? I'm talking about the cartoon where Jug Ears sends the RWPPs, the righteous reverends, Jesse and Al, all over the world to keep them away from his campaign. Even before that, I had been wondering where Jesse and Al are. Here we have our first credible candidate (and according to Joe Biden he's also "clean and articulate") to actually be the real first black president and Jesse and Al aren't grabbing microphone time. Where are they?
I heard that in South Carolina Jesse was backing Thunder Thighs and his wife was backing Jug Ears, or maybe it was the other way around. Talk about hedging your bets.
Maybe they're staying on the sidelines to see who's gonna win. It wouldn't do to back Jug Ears only to have Thunder Thighs steal the nomination. The Clintons hold grudges and no one does politics of personal destruction better than the Clintons.
Maybe they're staying on the sidelines so that when Thunder Thighs does steal the nomination from Jug Ears, they can present themselves as the people who can heal the division in the Dimocrat Party and can get the pissed off blacks to go to the polls for Thunder Thighs in November. Thunder Thighs is gonna need all those blacks she'll piss off by snatching the nomination away from Jug Ears. If the righteous revs can deliver, Thunder Thighs will owe them big time. I can see money going into Rainbow/PUSH's coffers. I'm sure Reverend Al has some charity that he skims money off of as well. They'll prolly both get speaking gigs at the convention.
So maybe their silence is planned. If so, it is a welcome relief. The less I hear from those two assholes the better.
Posted by denny at March 11, 2008 03:11 PMThe Clinton's let the cat out of the bag when they all but offered the veep spot to jug ears..they in fact told the world that they had figured out how to steal the nomination from jug ears afd were offering consolation hoping to get the Obama supporters for the general election..but knowing the Clinton history the Obama supporters could be voting for a dead man...which has never stopped dim-a-crits in the past

Denny-
I would almost guarantee that it's planned, and I will place bets that we will be hearing more and more from these assholes once the dimorats have their candidate established. This should be interesting to say the least.
No matter what, they will play the race card as they always do. Unless it's the gender card this time around. Either way, they have a card up their sleeve and won't hesitate to play it as long as it gets them the power they crave...
Posted by: CharlieDelta on March 12, 2008 02:49 AMthose 2 would not exist if there was no controversy...and they live to suck off the "excess" (excess is what they define) so they are waiting for a Clinton Steal..with that they will be sitting very pretty
that is their "Best Case Scenerio"
I wish Hillary would get the Reverend Schnorr from Jerry Springer...Then we'd ALL go to Heaven...More or less...
Posted by: Sandy G on March 12, 2008 07:13 AMYou know Rev`d Jackson & Honest Al do not particulary like Obama because he is a threat to the continued support of the base of welfare recipients who have supported them.
They have a real problem in that to continue the gravy train they have been riding on, support for Hillary is mandatory but to do so puts them out in the rain if Obama wins. If they support Obama, then the Clinton machine will exact retribution in some form.
They might just as well throw in with Hillary because I am positive Obama has an agenda planned if he does win the presidency & it does not include the likes of Jackson & Honest Al. If Obama ever is to achieve success with even half of the ideas he favors.......Rev`d Jackson & Honest Al will have to go along with the influence of a whole bunch of like minded BRBPP`S.
Their silence in the campaign so far has been noticed & the damage to their possible influence with Obama or insider status with Hillary has already been done.
Yes, we will hear more from these assholes & the Mainstream media will quote them, but as the word from either Hillary or Obama filters down, they will fade away to a much lower level of influence, prestige or power.
Don't go speakin' poorly bout my man Al. He's threaning to sue the DNC if they seat any delegates from Floriduh or Michigan. He says that too many people stayed home from the primary because the votes wouldn't count and that by counting them those people are disenfranchised. It's so much fun to watch the DNC sweat over racial politics.

Posted by: Peggy U on March 12, 2008 08:46 PMWonder what'll happen when Michelle catches him w/a cute widdle Obamabunny ? You just KNOW it'll happen..Somewhere, she's GOT to have an iron skillet that's been in her family for 1700 years...She might have better aim than Shrillary did...I can hear it now...KA-WHOMMP !!
