Did You Know...

Hmm…See-Dub back out of retirement for a second, writing one of those very rare posts about rutabagas I mentioned in my valedictory post. But first, I have a problem.

THE PROBLEM: Retired guest-blogger does not wish to comment on current political affairs, but is sorely tempted to do so when VP candidate shoots his mouth off on issue near and dear to blogger’s heart.

THE OTHER PROBLEM: The other day I talked to an old friend in California–moderate Republican type–who mentioned that he might be voting Obama. Palin scared him because she wanted to “ban books”. Took me and Mrs. See-dub a while to set him straight.

As Ace points out, an e-mail campaign that details Obama’s radical roots and his attempts to hide them might be useful. The legacy media certainly isn’t interested in exposing the truth about him or deflating his smears. Someone else would have to do it.

Especially on the gun issue.

Look–here’s what happens when you make a Democratic candidate go on the defensive about the Second Amendment:

“

That’s a guy who has personally shot and killed Viet Cong Communist insurgents looking all silly like that. I doubt Obama has ever shot a gun in his life. He’s going to go to a duck blind or a sporting clays range to demonstrate his “support” for the Second Amendment and…to start with, they won’t even be able to find any hearing protectors to fit him. It’ll all get better from there.

(I mean, Sweet Fancy Moses, the guy can’t even bowl.)

As a disinterested political analyst, and not as any sort of partisan commentator or anything, I might just point out that Obama is dreadfully weak on the gun issue and McCain can win this thing in a walk if he’s able to turn the debate to Obama’s real record and how it matches up with his
“pro-sportsman” rhetoric.

But as a disinterested political analyst I can’t really go through and churn out a post that details Obama’s gun record, one suitable for e-mailing to everyone you know.

THE SOLUTION: RightWingSparkle has already put it all together for me!

So I can get back to blogging about rutabagas. Whew.

P.S. I was looking for the “Joe Biden” category for this post, and I realized Michelle doesn’t even have one. Which says all you need to know about Biden.

If I were still blogging, I’d put a big ol’ screencap of Chevy Chase on every new Biden-gaffe post. Of which I anticipate several.

Or maybe a different celebrity…
