      <![CDATA[ Not surprising...those good ol boys are working on mounting an attack on Michelle Obama as a way of attacking her husband.
<p><a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0608/11044.html">http://www.politico.com/news/s...</a>
</p><p> &nbsp; "It's less than a week into the general election campaign, but already Michelle Obama is a &nbsp; Republican target.
</p><p> &nbsp; Former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger leveled the
first blow, introducing Republican John McCain's wife at a fundraiser
this week as someone who is "proud of her country, not just once, but
always." Obama wasn't mentioned by name, but the audience got it.
</p><p> &nbsp; The dig signaled the start of what Democrats expect will be
a concerted effort to cast Michelle Obama as an unpatriotic radical -
and, by extension, Barack Obama as well. It also pointed out the
urgency to define Michelle Obama to general election voters before the
opposition goes too far in doing it for her, strategists said."
</p><p>I'm not surprised that they would do this, but if I were them I might think twice before going ahead with it.
</p><p>Here is my plan going forward:
</p><p>1) &nbsp;I will only refer to Cindy McCain as <i><b>Sen. McCain's second wife</b></i>...the
one with a history of stealing drugs from the American Voluntary
Medical Team, oh and that was after she was working for the Keating
Five as an accountant who couldn't keep track of receipts.
</p><p>2) &nbsp;At the same time I will bring up Carol McCain, referring to her as <i><b>Sen. McCain's first wife</b></i>,
the former swimsuit model and the one who was crippled and debilitated
following a car accident. &nbsp;When he returned from Vietnam, he proceeded
to go skirt chasing...at which time he met <b>Wife #2</b>, which he married 1 month after divorcing <b>Wife #1</b>.
</p><p>The right takes marriage and fidelity very highly...they just need some education about John Sydney McCain.
</p><p>P.S. Please feel free to spread the word...</p>]]>
