Stupid Libs Declare: We Are All Hussein
June 30, 2008 by Joe
I have, for the most part, refrained from using Barack Obama’s middle name on this blog, except for a few occasions when it was relevant. I would really prefer to challenge the Illinois Senator turned Democratic Presidential nominee on the issues and on matters of substance — problem is Barack Obama has yet to really do or even say anything of substance in his political career.
Now, after reading this New York Times article, maybe I’ll consider changing my mind about using Barry’s middle name when I talk about him.
Emily Nordling has never met a Muslim, at least not to her knowledge. But this spring, Ms. Nordling, a 19-year-old student from Fort Thomas, Ky., gave herself a new middle name on Facebook.com, mimicking her boyfriend and shocking her father.
“Emily Hussein Nordling,” her entry now reads.
With her decision, she joined a growing band of supporters of Senator Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, who are expressing solidarity with him by informally adopting his middle name.
The result is a group of unlikely-sounding Husseins: Jewish and Catholic, Hispanic and Asian and Italian-American, from Jaime Hussein Alvarez of Washington, D.C., to Kelly Hussein Crowley of Norman, Okla., to Sarah Beth Hussein Frumkin of Chicago.
Jeff Strabone of Brooklyn now signs credit card receipts with his newly assumed middle name, while Dan O’Maley of Washington, D.C., jiggered his e-mail account so his name would appear as “D. Hussein O’Maley.” Alex Enderle made the switch online along with several other Obama volunteers from Columbus, Ohio, and now friends greet him that way in person, too.
Mr. Obama is a Christian, not a Muslim. Hussein is a family name inherited from a Kenyan father he barely knew, who was born a Muslim and died an atheist. But the name has become a political liability. Some critics on cable television talk shows dwell on it, while others, on blogs or in e-mail messages, use it to falsely assert that Mr. Obama is a Muslim or, more fantastically, a terrorist.
“I am sick of Republicans pronouncing Barack Obama’s name like it was some sort of cuss word,” Mr. Strabone wrote in a manifesto titled “We Are All Hussein” that he posted on his own blog and on dailykos.com.
The best part of that article is the quote by Ashley Holmes of Indianapolis, who said, “My name is such a vanilla, white-girl American name.” Because after all, as far as liberals are concerned being a white American is just about the worst thing you could possibility be.
Bubba Clinton to Barry Obama: Kiss My Ass
June 30, 2008 by Joe
The arrogance of Slick Willy Clinton knows no bounds. If the scientific community could only find a way to convert egotism into energy, the world’s energy problems would be solved for the next millennium, just by the shear narcissism of Bill Clinton.
It seems that Bubba is so upset that he is not going to be able to resume having inappropriate relations with Interns in the White House, he is claiming that Barrack Obama needs to kiss his ass if he wants his full support.
This comes from the Telegraph’s New York and Washington bureaus:
Mr Obama is expected to speak to Mr Clinton for the first time since he won the nomination in the next few days, but campaign insiders say that the former president’s future campaign role is a “sticking point” in peace talks with Mrs Clinton’s aides.
The Telegraph has learned that the former president’s rage is still so great that even loyal allies are shocked by his patronising attitude to Mr Obama, and believe that he risks damaging his own reputation by his intransigence.
The article goes on to say:
It has long been known that Mr Clinton is angry at the way his own reputation was tarnished during the primary battle when several of his comments were interpreted as racist.
But his lingering fury has shocked his friends. The Democrat told the Telegraph: “He’s been angry for a while. But everyone thought he would get over it. He hasn’t. I’ve spoken to a couple of people who he’s been in contact with and he is mad as hell.
“He’s saying he’s not going to reach out, that Obama has to come to him. One person told me that Bill said Obama would have to quote kiss my ass close quote, if he wants his support.
He’s just upset that all the young, brainless, impressionable liberal girls are fawning over Obama now instead of him.
A comedy legend has passed away

from Entertainment Tonight:
ET breaks the news that comedian George Carlin has died from heart failure. The man who made famous the “seven words you can never say on television” passed away at 5:55 p.m. Sunday at Saint John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, his longtime publicist said. He was 71.
Carlin, who has had several heart attacks and a history of cardiac issues, went into the hospital this afternoon after complaining of heart problems.
Carlin has more than 20 comedy albums, 14 HBO specials, numerous TV and movie roles, and three best-selling books to his credit. Last year, he celebrated his 50th year in show business, and he had just finished his last HBO special in March, “It’s Bad for Ya.
