Obama Says He’ll Vote For New Yorker Cover

In a stunning reversal, Barack Obama says he is now for the recent controversial cover of New Yorker magazine. In a statement issued through a spokesman, Obama said, “By voting for the FISA bill, I’ve thrown aside my solemn oath as a Senator to uphold the Constitution, I’ve overlooked war crimes by the President and his administration, and I quit smoking. Do you really think I’m going to let a magazine cover bother me?” Campaign spokesman Bill Burton said the move further underscores that Barack Obama has little room for old-style political passion, and, in fact, rises above everything.

I hope they don’t find out about my new PAC: Former Obamatons for Trale Lewous.

ts, I’d love to slap some PUMAs around, but I was kinda hoping to catch the NY Philharmonic in the park tonight and don’t feel like playing hall monitor. Heck, maybe tomorrow I’ll send out some bait of my own…

Hillary is way better at painting herself into a corner than Obama. She actually voted for an illegal war and then tried to run for President by being against the war. Barack voted for an unconstitutional spy bill, but, when President, will actually be for unconstitutional spying.

I’m thinking of going, too. I’m need a bit of culture in my life.

Wait a minute…so you mean Flowbee is still blogging? I thought he cashed those Peter Daou checks and bought season one of “Burn Notice” in order to sue the writers for stealing the story of his life.
