A candidate for RNC chairmanship is sending out CD copies of "Barack the Magic Negro". According to the Huff Post, Chip Saltzman as part of his campaign for the chairmanship,  is distributing this garbage originally developed by his friend, Rush the Lush Limbaugh. The TPM take on this drew scores of comments and recs, so I am saying nothing new here.

I do find it interesting that Billy Frist (The MD who believes that tears can spread AIDS virus) as well as the Huckster are backing Chipper for the RNC post. (By the way, where do all these scooters and chippers come from anyway?)

HuffPo adds that a note accompanied the xmas gift from Saltsman to his constituents: "I look forward to working together in the New Year," Saltsman wrote. "Please enjoy the enclosed CD by my friend Paul Shanklin of the Rush Limbaugh Show."

The CD, called "We Hate the USA," lampoons liberals with such songs as "John Edwards' Poverty Tour," "Wright place, wrong pastor," "Love Client #9," "Ivory and Ebony" and "The Star Spanglish banner."Several of the track titles, including "Barack the Magic Negro," are written in bold font."

TPM today recounts a very recent CNN poll demonstrating that 87% of Americans are more than pleased to see w go away.

At the same time Yahoo (12/26/08) recites a USA poll making Obama the most admired man in America with almost a third of the total vote. A distant second was w with five percent. First time since 1952 that the Pres was not the most admired man in America.  Just as an aside, Hillary is the most admired woman but Michelle Obama comes in fifth in that survey.

Think about it. The wife of a senator, comes in just behind Condi and Oprah for Christ's Sake.
America even loves the New First Lady a month before she sets foot in the WH.

We have a President Elect who can make three out of five three pointers in front of our troops and cameras and the press.We have a PE who could give a speech, a memorable speech, in front of crowds anywhere from twenty thousand people to seventy five thousand people, on the campaign trail,  without a flub. This after a President who could not string three sentences together from a teleprompter at a fake town hall meeting.

We have a PE who could draw two hundred thousand Germans for one of his speeches before he was even elected.  Then he proceeds to France and the French President embraces him like he is the heir apparent.

This guy was a community organizer less than fifteen years ago.  Four years ago, this guy 's opponent in his run for a Senate seat was indicted.  A Republican indicted in Illinois. And the only person the Reps can find to run against Obama, was a nutcase. 

This guy gives a speech a little over four years ago at somebody else's convention, and that is the only memory of the 2004 Democratic Convention that has not been erased by time.

I have said it before and I will say it again until I am dead.  PE Obama was my first choice and I knew he could never be elected because I have picked losers my entire life.
I am as amazed as anyone.

Now pretend you are a Republican.  Pretend that a majority of Americans blame you and your party for the greatest economic crisis since the '30s.  Pretend that your party's very reason for being is what is being blamed for this crisis. Pretend that one man is being held responsible for stealing fifty billion dollars under your eight year watch.  Pretend that the de facto head of your party is less well liked than Chinese toys.

And now, Barack Obama is going to be the 44th President of the United States with a Congressional Majority in his own party that has not been seen in 44 years.

What else can you do? But tell the truth.

Barack Obama is THE MAGIC NEGRO.  And he is going to be around for quite a long time.
