political bitch-slap

[lagilman]

"I deeply resent the destruction of federalism represented
by Hillary Clinton's willingness to go into a state she
doesn't even live in and pretend to represent people there,
so I certainly wouldn't imitate it."

Who said that? Why, Alan Keyes, in an interview with Fox News when Hillary Clinton ran in the New York Senate race.

Yes, the same Alan Keys who has just agreed to run for the GOP in the Senate election in Illinois. A state where, apparently, he does not reside...

But that isn't hypocritical because He Says So.

YEAH RIGHT.

On the other hand, I can't wait 'til the candidates have debates. Keyes is someplace to the right of Atilla the Hun, but at least he's articulate. A debate between Keyes and Obama ought to be worth watching. And at least no one can say the voters of Illinois don't have a choice this year....

Oh, if he hadn't said what he said and then done what he did, I'd be watching this with some anticipation. But people who claim the high political-moral ground when they're up to their knees in mud just... annoy me.

Oh yeah. And he's showing already that he's intending to play this one dirty (he spent today intentionally mis-pronouncing Barack Obama's name). Just once, I wish intelligent politicians would behave intelligently. Oh wait...intelligent politician. An oxymoron, perhaps?

I presume (and hope) the media is reporting his old comment?

With rabid glee. I think even people have it on protest signs outside his speeches.

You can slap him once for me, too....
