Obama. Osama. Omaha. Whatever.

By Michelle Malkin  •  December 7, 2007 11:09 PM

Your correction of the day from CNN:

Pop quiz: Are there any other five-letter words/place names that start with “o” and end with “a”–so we can give the layers and layers and layers of MSM fact-checkers a list of watchwords to spare them more embarrassment?

I’ll start…

    I can’t help it, when I hear or see the “O” I think Osama. Is it the media that directed my thoughts there or just the evil of the “O”? I don’t think Obama or Omaha are evil, it’ just my mind goes in a different direction.

    When I first saw the headline, I thought for sure that Michelle was going to be referring to

    this video.

    What Michelle was really taking about (further highlighting the LSM obsession with Senator Obama) was funny, but I think the video
    (and its other versions ) is funnier.

    The ‘Man From Audacity’ just can’t catch a break with careless liberals. He’s either habitually confused with the top leader of Al Qaeda, or now, the location of a recent mall massacre.

    Blitzer: …and now for some breaking news. We here in the ‘Situation Room’ would like to correct a typographical error. Earlier in a story referring to contagious skin diseases, we mistakenly displayed “Barack Obama” when we obviously meant leprosy. We apologize for that.

    Seems to be a better O connection between Oprah and Obama. Have I missed the interviews with Obama’s hero polygamist dirtbag Kenyan daddy? Think I will just have to go with Spicoli’s endorsement of Kucinich.

    In any case how about the dreaded double-V? Ventriloquist with a vagina …as Hanoi Jane refers to Hillary. This in a May LA Weekly interview. Perhaps she meant that Hill is the dummy and the patriarchy the ventriloquist? As if Fonda hasn’t take advantage of said patriarchy in Teddy Turner and others.

    Any thoughts about possible nominee combos? I know Richardson wants VP spot. How about an Indy ticket of Paul/Kucinich? Maybe Nader will once again split some moonbat votes? Let’s hope the lovely and talented Silk Pony is in there somewhere too.
    If, gawd forbid, the GOP ends up with the awful Rino Huckabee, I’m sitting this one out. Ditto with Paul. But would not be surprised to see Gore/Obama ticket either except that the goracle would be making too much money with his carbon offsets scam.

    In Park City last Aug., BHA was coming to town, and every excited clown, to a person, said: “Osama’s coming!”.
    The one guy I engaged said he’d just finished reading his biography, and I asked if he knew that BHO’s middle name was “Hussein”. He didn’t, of course.
    Politically, this guy should have no legs at all. But, nutroots will be nutroots.

    Fun is the best thing ever, but I have to go out and shovel snow in a little bit. Right now light snow with 3 inches on the ground and temperature at 30 degrees. Not too bad for southwest side of Idaho. The mountains around us are getting a hammered and the ski areas up here are doing back flips.

    Yo – Mama

    …from a Tavis Smiley interview a couple years ago, asking him about the origin of his surname.

    Tavis’ question went something like: “…Let’s talk about your last name — it’s not Oh-Sama; it’s not Yo-mama…”

    Tavis always looks like he swallowed Larry King and got a bowel obstruction in return. Ironic for a guy with the last name “Smiley.”
