Re: Christopher Orlet's False Messiah:

Lets call a spade a spade. Oh my, that is SO incorrect. Allow me to apologize in advance.

There is an old southern term applied to those who posture, preen and generally conduct themselves as Obama does. It's the "fool."

As Kings and Queens of old, allowed "fools" to entertain themselves and the Court, so do Democrats and the MSM.

At least he doesn't wear a funny hat.

If only David Aaronovitch were correct and Barack Obama were a typical American then we'd be safe even in his failed administration of higher taxes, economic depression, social decay and insipid narcissism. Unfortunately, like his huge ego Barack Obama is anything but a typical American. Obama is more interested in cultivating his messianic image as "world healer" than being President of the United States. The Presidency is but a pulpit to preach his gospel of Obamanation. Fortunately, if one is to believe the consistently Democrat leaning polls the false messiah is in trouble, being merely tied with McCain in August when his predecessors (Humphrey, McGovern, Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Gore and Kerry) looked destined to sweep to power on the ballots of young voters and election stealing Democrats in the summer. The one hope he has of winning is that paleoconservatives, Obamacons and libertarians can hand him the victory.

Ah, yes. I can just hear it now -- the Obamessiah's new campaign song:

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! For the O-ba-ma omnipotent reigneth! Hallelujah! The kingdom of this world is become the kingdom of Barrack, the O-ba-ma, the O-ba-ma! And he shall reign for ever and ever! King of kings, the O-ba-ma!

To be sung, with many more "Hallelujahs," to the tune of "The Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's oratorio The Messiah.

Isn't the nickname "Meathead" a sufficient summation of the intellectual "prowess" of Rob Reiner?

SENATORIAL SOFTBALL
Re: Jeffrey Lord's Sen. Chris Matthews (D-Pa.):

How many people actually watch MSNBC, much less Chris Matthew's liberal "Softball"? God forbid this odious creature gets a bigger ego, then he'd merely be the white version of Barack Obama. Oops is that a racist comment? Never can tell these days what spindly Obama and Democrats consider "racist." Of course, being a hate monger like Obama, Reverend Wright, and Chris Matthews is hunky dory.
-- Michael Tomlinson

From a fellow life-long Pennsylvanian to Jeffrey Lord (No wonder I always appreciate your essays):

I think your analysis of the political thinking of Pennsylvanians is correct in every detail.

Let's hope it still holds true when wet-legged Matthews runs for the Senate.
-- A. C. Santore
