With Friends Like Kerrey ...

As Barack Obama made a big show yesterday of going to church -- not mosque -- to dispel rumors he's a stealth Muslim, Sen. Bob Kerrey, while endorsing Hillary Clinton, paid Obama a very Clintonesque compliment:

"I like the fact that his name is Barack Hussein Obama, and that his father was a Muslim and that his paternal grandmother is a Muslim. There's a billion people on the planet that are Muslims, and I think that experience is a big deal." (Source)

Yeah, and you know, I like the fact that Mike Huckabee doesn't know a thing about foreign policy. There are at least a billion people on this planet that don't know a thing about foreign policy, so I think that experience is a big deal.

I also like the fact that John Edwards can pretend to care about health care and the downtrodden, as he sits in his 10,400-square-foot home, enjoying the cash he won from settlements that drove up costs we all, rich and poor, pay for health insurance. There are at least a billion hypocrites in the world ...

But most of all, I like the fact that Hil and Bill are so good at smiling warmly as they systematically destroy their opponents. There's no one in the world as good at it as they are, and that experience, especially if it lands Hil in the White House, would be a very , very big deal, and I trust there are millions of people here in the USA intelligent enough to see through it.
