Pretend Government

Pretender

When Obama bin Laden's train stopped in Baltimore he graciously thanked Gov. O’Malley and native Nancy Pelosi, but didn't mention Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon who had, in fact, issued the invitation for his visit.  Reason?  The democrat mayor has been indicted on 12 counts of felony theft , perjury, fraud and misconduct in office  An Obama aide said he didn't want more association with crooked democrat officials.   How does he plan on dealing with his own cabinet then, not to mention congress?

In case you missed this item, it says all that needs saying about the United States Senate, once called the world's greatest deliberative body, now resembling a playpen house of lords.  The reason why New York's Gov, Patterson will appoint empty vessel  Caroline Kennedy to replace Clinton ...
... based their conclusion on the view that Paterson, after nearly two months of indecision, would "greatly embarrass" and "entirely humiliate" Kennedy, anger her prominent political family and even offend President-elect  Osama by picking someone other than President John F. Kennedy's daughter.
Beauty.

The founding fathers, in their wisdom, devised a method by which our republic can take 100 of its most prominent numbskulls and keep them out of the private sector where they might do actual harm.

Is that a Mercedes hood ornament?

And her name is Schlossberg.
She used to be called "Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg". Then she got interested in politics...

Even Kathleen Kennedy Townsend has the decency to use her real name.

Now, what's Ms. Schlossberg's political experience again? School board? County council? Anything?

Answer: none. Never elected to anything, never held office. And she wants to be a US Senator. Hillary, while having no experience either, was at least elected. Madame Schlossberg wants to be forced upon us-- and not just the people of NY. Her Senate seat affects us all.

But then, we live in the Age of Obama, where qualifications don't seem to matter.

The day the Dixon indictments came down the local paper here in Annapolis, affectionately known as the crabwrapper, in its cut and paste of the AP story didn't once mention once in the article that she's a Democrat. But then again, this is Maryland, and you can assume that.

On the other hand the next morning's WaPo had the story sourced from the Baltimore SUN which did have a big fat D right in the first sentence. CWID

Mother Superior canceled our Capitol subscription, and removed Oprah from her TIVO in October. She's walkin' the walk.

If Obama Sr. would have married Dorf's sister?
