It Comes Down To Number Two…

 

With the economic crisis getting saturation coverage this past week—a lot of the more interesting political stories have managed to be downplayed…

But when you’re cooking political stew—there’s always time to left it bubble long enough for some of the other ingredients to make their way to the top…

 

WITCH ONE IS SHE?

One of the more fascinating stories to emerge this week was one where Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin got blessed to protect her from WITCHCRAFT !

 

Back in 2005—she was videotaped in the Wasilla Assembly of God church, holding her hands open as Kenyan Bishop Thomas Muthee asked Jesus Christ to keep her safe from “every form of witchcraft”.

 

The clip below shows the actual “blessing” part of the ceremony. If you want to see the entire session–there are much longer clips floating around on the net—but this will give you the gist of what took place….

 

Remember how Rev. Wright’s videotaped sermons came back to haunt Barack Obama?

 

We’ll have to see if the same ghosts go after Palin in the coming days—especially if the economic story begins to fade.

 

 

THAT HIS-STORY AND HE’S STICKING TO IT….

And when it came time to talk of the economy, Joe Biden wanted to explain how good leaders take the bull by the tail and face the situation..

 

In an interview with Katie Couric he proudly spoke of the great words of FDR who went on TV to quell the nation’s fears after the stock market crash in 1929..

 

Trouble was Herbert Hoover was the president then—and TV hadn’t been invented…

I wonder what he would have said if Katie asked him to spell Potato ?

 

 

LOOKS LIKE BILL IS CRACKERING UP….

It was a classic two-fer for Bill Clinton the other night on Larry King Live.

Not only did he confuse the master of the obvious question—but he also managed to insult scores of southerners–without Larry King asking a follow-up or calling him out on it.

Clinton said he’d suspend campaigning for Obama during the upcoming Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur..

 

 

The CNN transcript says King asked, “Are you kind of feeling Jewish that you’re waiting until after the Jewish holidays?”

Clinton replied, “No. But…if we’re trying to win in Florida, it may be that,”

He then explained the Obama people want to send him to Florida because “they may want me to go to sort of hustle up what Lawton Chiles used to call the ‘cracker vote’ there.”

 

 

 

Larry King— and the rest of the media— gave Clinton a pass on that one.

 

Wadda think the reaction would have been if Obama uttered those words?
