Hillary Clinton really stepped in it today and all of the political pundits have been ripping her to shreds, but Keith Olbermann really let that miserable wretch have it during a special comment. He got her trifling azz for the old and the new and let her know that not everyone is being fooled by her games. Shame on you Hillary Clinton.
First Mike Huckabee makes stupid joke about Obama ducking for cover and now this. Surely these people cannot be this clueless about how wrong it is to even think this evil shyt about a man who has done nothing but seek political office- never mind how wrong it is to speak on it in pubic. It's like they are wishing him harm. Some White folks are quick to say that African Americans are too sensitive, but crap like this is why many of us have a short fuse.

Hold on Sweetie
Obama has been catching flack this week for referring to a female reporter as "sweetie." Normally, I hate when strange men use terms of endearment towards me, but can I just tell you that this fine, suave fugga could call me sweetie all day, and I wouldn't be mad. Now if he was some worthless troll, then trust that he would have gotten a good cussing. But Obama? Chile please. I would only hope that his wife wasn't around to give me the side eye of death for cheesing all up in her man's face.

Obama Apologizes to WXYZ Reporter
| Last Update: 5/15 9:21 am |
 Related Links Obama apologized in a voicemail he left on Agar's cell phone at 3:16 p.m: "Hi Peggy. This is Barack Obama. I'm calling to apologize on two fronts. One was you didn't get your question answered and I apologize. I thought that we had set up interviews with all the local stations. I guess we got it with your station but you weren't the reporter that got the interview. And so, I broke my word. I apologize for that and I will make up for it. "Second apology is for using the word 'sweetie.' That's a bad habit of mine. I do it sometimes with all kinds of people. I mean no disrespect and so I am duly chastened on that front. Feel free to call me back. I expect that my press team will be happy to try to make it up to you whenever we are in Detroit next." LISTEN TO THE VOICEMAIL IN VIDEO PLAYER RIGHT (Voicemail is followed by video clip of the "sweetie" exchange) (WXYZ) - Reporters on the presidential campaign trail are buzzing about Barack Obama calling WXYZ's Peggy Agar "sweetie" during a tour Wednesday of a Chrysler plant in Sterling Heights. The comment came during a tour of the plant when the Democratic presidential candidate tried to brush off a question from Agar about help for autoworkers. "Senator, how are you going to help the American autoworkers," Agar asked Obama. "Hold on one second, sweetie," he replied, explaining he would answer in a later media availability. In a posting on the New York Times Political Blog titled "Obama: Hold On, Sweetie," reporter Jim Rutenberg pointed out this wasn't the first time Obama used the word: "Back in Pennsylvania in early April, Senator Barack Obama took some heat for calling a female factory worker 'sweetie,' in Allentown." Obama's comment to Agar has also been discussed by reporters for The Atlantic, Chicago Tribune, and Newsday. |

Stir crazy....
I am so sick of being in the house. I had surgery on both feet two weeks ago, so I have to take it easy for the next few weeks. I cannot walk or stand for an extended period of time and have just been sitting around with my feet propped up. Sure it was fun at first while I was taking those painkillers and floating on a cloud somewhere over the rainbow, but I couldn't keep taking those things and risk winding up like Amy Winehouse - Beehives and crack mouth are not a good look. When I started twitching in my sleep one night, I realized that it was time to switch to extra Strength Tylenol.
My big adventure yesterday was going to Kroger and riding around in one of those little motorized carts while grocery shopping. I wanted to see if I could do donuts, but people were already staring at me, so I didn't. The other folks in the motorized carts, mostly senior citizens, were giving me the broman nod while rolling past me like we were in some kind of clique. I could see the others staring trying to figure out what (if anything) was wrong with me. Their eyes dropped down and I could tell when they spotted those hideous surgical shoes that I am forced to wear. Then it was like awwww. Hey, I don't need pity from a bunch of bored housewives. I felt like saying sure, I'm having some mobility issues right now, but I'll be back on my feet in a month and you'll still be ugly!
Being housebound is causing me to do strange stuff like watching QVC, the Home Shopping Network and Gems TV. I ordered a Bissell Steam Mop and am actually excited about getting it. How pitiful is that to be excited over a dayumned mop? But in my defense, I have a pissy dog and need all the help I can get with keeping the floors clean. I can't stand a nasty house, or a house that smells like dog.
Speaking of cleaning the house, a Merry Maids representative came over to give me an estimate. That woman said that it would cost $630 for two ladies to give my house a "Spring Cleaning." That's dayumn near the mortgage on my rental house, and it would only cover the ground level! If I wanted to just hire them by the hour, that rate is $79. Who knew that maids were making that kind of scratch? Shoot, I'm about to start scrubbing toilets in my spare time.
Other folks around here have people that clean their houses, and I know they aren't paying that kind of money. I'll hire a day laborer before I go out like that. One of those workers will probably do the whole house for $20 and a sandwich.
