Well, Cross off Kentucky,,,

It appears that Senator Obama will not win the Kentucky primary or win Kentucky in the General Election. Any guesses why?

Jesus Christ on a Fucking Crumb Heap.

From the link:

"But Obama has a serious political problem. Until now, he and his supporters have either denied it or blamed it on his opponents. It’s not his fault, but it is his burden, and the way to begin lightening the load is to admit that it exists."

There is no easy or even respectful way to say this. Anyone who didn't know from the very beginning that this is a "serious political problem" was only making an outright fool of him or herself.

It is one thing to say, I do not care that race will hamper his Election chances with white voters, especially working class whites. To say, I do not care that his name and his name and his associations will hamper his chances.

One thing to say that.

Another to actually be in a position to have to wait for this dipshit reporter to come along in late Spring and spell it out, only then to "admit that it exists."

Next story for this reporter: how it might be time to admit that sexism and personal hatred might be hampering Clinton's efforts in the election.

Irrefutable Verdict: Not only does America deserves Republican rule. But more to the point, non-Republican America this primary season has proven more than ever that we very much deserve Republican rule.

As everyone who knows him knows, Harrogate does not take blasphemous language lightly.

But when he reads articles like that, it gets him to thinking about the whole thing again.

When there's a thing that you only associate with badness in every way. A thing which, more importantly, there was never anything you could have done about it anyway. The best move is to stop thinking about it altogether.

Or else you start expletiving.

Is expletiving even a word, Harrogate?

It is now. And Harrogate will happily render colloquial proof that it is a word, by using it in a sentence. Channeling Rachel Green:

"Harrogate just said 'expletiving.'"
