A week to go and it's still about the clothes

October 28, 2008
I just saw the face of David Plouffe. I had only read his obamantor spins, which any of us could write by now. But seeing his face gives great insight into barry’s campaign: they’re worried. Very much so. He looks like he’s about to cry – just like as a kid whose mother finally got to the core of his transparent lies. Maybe now he has a little insight on how Senator Clinton’s campaign felt when they were being attacked callously, personally and most of the time baselessly. I don’t expect that Plouffe has empathy - no one close to the messiah does – nor do the obamerized masses. That’s the nature of a cult: undying, unquestioned devotion for the messiah and unvarnished, unbridled hate for unenlightened non-cult members. Sad really. The best liar is the young one with curly hair. Bill Burton? Gibbs is a professional who doesn’t really believe what he says and has an amused smile on his face when he says it = supreme overconfidence. Axelrod is just evil. A Chicago politician through and through who has no scruples.

Anyway Hardwood is talking to Plouffe and quotes somebody who says if Obama’s below 50% he’s in trouble because of the undecideds. Mind you this is the same Hardwood who said Obama was set. Hardball (10-14-08) HARDWOOD: "Look at the Gallup tracking poll. He's been consistently at 50-51-52 for the last two weeks. He doesn't need a single more vote in this campaign. He's just got to hold what he's already got."

Do they bother to even listen to themselves? They’re like a bunch of Kool-Aid drunks so inebriated on messiah manlove that they don’t know or care what they are saying. And they’re right - who is going to call them on it?

Ploufffe doesn’t think about national polls. He’s confident that "we have a path of victory including Iowa, Virginia and New Mexico." And likes the early voting in NM, NV, OH, FL. Hardwood asks him what he’s worried about. Plouffe gives stock answer. He looks like he’s been programmed when he’s talking but if you hit the pause and look at him – he’s worried. Desperately so. Why?

Birth certificate? Anti-Semitic tapes? ACORN? A church member who needs a little cash? A campaign worker who can’t stand being blamed anymore? A vendor who still hasn’t been paid? A MSM member who has suddenly developed a conscience? So many other things I won’t bother listing. Wright supposedly is out of the country and I’m sure the Secret Service or Homeland Security has made sure he can’t get back into the country. I wonder if any reporter is trying to get at him? Some of the unethical little attack dogs have switched allegiances to be the first one to publicly report on what’s been happening in the blogosphere. It will be interesting to see who comes out with a book first and how much bias and propaganda they admit to.

And they’re still talking about the clothing. Elizabeth Bumiller said it would not have been a story if she were a man. Definition of sexism. It doesn’t have to involve a direct attack. It has to do with how a woman is treated vs a man. It’s been perfectly clear. An intelligent, powerful, proven politician, who happens to be a woman gets attacked on her femininity and a charismatic, unquestionably feminine candidate gets attacked on her intelligence as a Caribou Barbie, diva and whack job. It would be funny if it wasn’t such a serious moment in history.

Mrs Obama was on Jay Leno and said she was wearing a “J Crew outfit”. How many of them were in her closet before the $150K story? Before she started stumping? And what she didn’t mention was that she was wearing $400 shoes and an expensive piece of jewelry. And barry’s out there wearing a casual zip up jacket, black collarless shirt, jeans and gym shoes because it's raining? How moronic do they think people are? His suits are $1500, shirts $200, ties $100, silk socks $50. and $300 shoes. $2,000 an outfit. And he doesn't have a rain coat? How much has he paid for his campaign attire over the last two years? His personal wardrobe includes mom jeans, black socks, gym shoes and a nerdy bike helmet and yet he’s a millionaire. How much is Mrs wardrobe worth before she began the campaign vs Palin’s? How many public-worthy clothes do you think the first dude had? Who can possibly believe the madness of this question.

But it took away from Biden’s unbelievable comment. You cannot convince me that he did not know what he was saying or that he is aware of something and what his decision will be. Period. Holbrooke and Powell wouldn’t have been so defensive. Time will tell. Will it be a week, one month, two months, January 21st or six months?
