Off The Rails

Jesus H. Christ, Chris Matthews!

Matthews: You know I was trying to think about who he was tonight and it's interesting... he is post-racial by all appearances. You know I forgot he was black tonight for an hour. You know he's gone a long way to become a leader in this country and passed so much history in just a year or two. I mean it's something we don't even think about. But I was watching him and said "Wait a minute, he's an African American guy in front of a bunch of white people and there he is President of the United States and we've completely forgotten that tonight". Completely forgotten it.

Obviously he hasn't forgotten about it or he wouldn't have brought it up. And what the fuck difference does it make? What an ignoramus. No wonder Pat Buchanan has a seat at the table all the time.  They jack off to this shit.

Oh, and by the way, "who he was" last night was Barack Obama. I'm getting a little tired of trying to find similarities and comparisons with previous presidents.

Say It Loud! I'm Black and I'm Proud!

A lovely little quote from America's second stupidest Governor* ever.

"I'm blacker than Barack Obama. I shined shoes. I grew up in a five-room apartment. My father had a little laundromat in a black community not far from where we lived," Blagojevich said. "I saw it all growing up."

Blagojevich later walked back the quote and said it was a stupid thing to say and that he didn't believe it anyway. That's okay, Rod. We never believed you in the first place. Now we're even.

*I say "second stupidest Governor ever" because when a certain former Governor doesn't know that North and South Korea are different countries, you have to knock that "moran" to the top of the list.
