Bubba's Dilemma
2008-02-11
Yeah, it's tough being Bill Clinton...
BOWIE, Md. -- Bill Clinton took his message to the pulpit this morning, sounding a bit like Job as he lamented the decision facing primary voters in the capital region this week.
Yes...just like Job. How could I miss that?
“God works in strange ways,” Clinton told the congregation at Temple of Praise in southeast Washington this morning. “All my life I have wanted to vote for a woman for president,” he added, noting he was “born to a widowed mother” who sometimes “suffered discrimination” at work. “And all my life I have wanted to vote for an African American for president,” he continued, saying his life in politics “was born in the civil rights struggle.” “I wonder why God gave us this dilemma,” he asked.
Cynthia McKinney's running. So vote for her and you're covered on both ends, you lying sack of shit...

#4  Clinton talked about the election as the proverbial embarrassment of riches, saying he had waited his whole life to vote for an African American for president and just as long to vote for a woman.

I don't know about the rest of the Rantburgers but this statement strikes me as the ultimate pandering, racist, chauvanistic remark. I would hope that we get a President that isn't just a black or a woman but one that is also qualified and is guided by our Constitution.

#3  Golly. An embarrassment of riches! I'll bet that's how Midas felt after he ran into his daughter, that golden day.

Fixed.

At least Cynthia is upfront. BHO prefers to discuss these delicate topics with his holy man.
