"Messiah" From The Ryskind Sketchbook
Don't get it? Look at picture #9 here. ninme's got more at Dalai Bama (how could I not link such a title?). I keep telling you people, though, he's neither that nor Obamassiah. He's the Obamahdi. I'm sure you read that when he clinched the nomination June 3rd, Obama said:
I face this challenge with profound humility and knowledge of my own limitations. But I also face it with limitless faith in the capacity of the American people … . I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal … .
I share Mark Steyn's reaction to that:
I prefer a republic whose citizenry can muster no greater enthusiasm for their candidate than “stilted cheers” to one in which the crowd wants to hoist the nominee onto their shoulders for promising to lower ocean levels within his first term.At least McCain will have a good excuse for losing the election: he was just a man.
