So I heard that Sarah Palin cried?
If she did, it`s a better reaction than Nader. He resorted to racial slurs against Obama and thus finally decimated any hope he ever had of a future political career

Edit: *forgot there was a word filter*
You say "decimated" as if he had a chance. :P

He definitely violated all forms of PCness, but I don't really see the racism. Agree or not, his argument is that he's a symbol of change just cuz he's black but he's just being a minion for the powerful corporations (and it's *mostly* white powerful men who own those anyway.) Also, it was Faux news reporting that, so...

But in popular culture, Uncle Tom is a racial slur and he could have made his point in a number of different ways. And as a presidential candidate, he should know enough to show discretion when your words will be spread internationally.

ps: lol "Faux" news. I'm stealing that one.

Indeed he should.

I hope he realizes that he now has an even less chance of becoming remotely close to being a notable candidate in 2012, and just goes and retire somewhere nice.

Wonder how long it'll take for Obama to pick his cabinet.
How long does it usually take presidents?

What do you people think of the Canadian coalition?

Personally I have my doubts about their ability to work together if/when they kick Harper outta there. But his economic plan was sorta.

But I kinda want Dion for president 'cos his wacky english makes me lol.

But everyone there is an idiot; Layton is frustratingly ignorant, Harper can't use his minority well, Dion's personality is just not good enough to compete.
