It's been a good week in politics.  Hey Otto, you girly little coward,
PLEASE post this in the DUmp.

1.  Something local to start.  After trashing him since 1996, Archie Otto
Sauer brings Bob Barr to the table as his political ally - then trashes him
again one post later.  In your wildest Cormac McCarthy imagination, you
could not make up a character as stupid, confused and perverted as Otto
Archie Sauer.  Not even Steinbeck could make up a character who migrates so
effortlessly between "Mommy wuffs you" and "KITTEH!" to
"fuck you, you
fucking lying son of a bitch" or "my fucking older sister." Such
astonishingly weird characters are vanishingly rare - and most of them are
in institutions.

2.  Obama Budget Director Peter Orszag has a new love - some reporterette
from ABC; meanwhile, his old love is about to give birth to her and Orszag's
illegitimate child.  Anybody hear Otto say anything about this?  How about
Katie Couric?  No?

3.  A 10-page story in New York Magazine paints John and Elizabeth Edwards
as perhaps the scummiest, most bizarre couple in the United States not named
Cigar and Hillary Willy.  John comes across as a narcissistic pussy and Liz
comes across as a controlling shrew.  They actually sound a lot LIKE the
Clintons now that I think of it.

4.  Reporters Mark Helperin and John Heilemann (H&H) are about to release
book called Game Change in which the following emerge:

a.  Obama and Joe Biden don't like each other to the point that Obama all
but shut out Biden during the 08 campaign.  H&H maintain that at one point
Obama lost his temper at a Biden gaffe - there have been so many, I don't
remember which one.

b.  Chuck Schumer publicly supported Hillary! but secretly supported Obama.

c.  Harry Reid describes Obama as the "light-skinned African Amercian who
has no negro dialect unless he wants it."  The gaffe-prone majority leader
apologizes for the remark lending credibility to every claim H &H make,
which includes this gem:

d.  While trying to woo Ted Kennedy to Hillary's side, Cigar Willy says of
Obama, "a few years ago, he would have been bringing us coffee."  Kennedy
immedately endorsed Obama.  The public personna of Bill Clinton is an
ambitious and talented politician with Ivy League credentials and a buttload
of charm.  The private reality is that he is a cornpone lawyer, a greasy
lothario and a racist. I firmly believe that the private reality is what
attracts people like Otto, Wilson, Chrinside, Klahn and Sakwoski.  Like
attracts like.

e.  Armed with knowledge of Cigar's 2006 affair, Hillary! initially turns
down secretary of state telling Obama that she can't control her husband and
that he will embarrass the administration (she only guessed at the level of
embarrassment, eh?  Cigar calls Obama Stepenfetchit.  Hahahahaha!!).  The
Clintons are people around whom a cult has formed.  See above for cult
member names.

5.  Two weeks after Gore lisps his hilarious global warming poem to a
besotted and gushing Harry Smith, the country is plunged into one of the
coldest winters ever.  There has been snow in my Georgia yard since
Thursday.
