"Just words? Just words?"

or, Ignore that man behind the curtain!

Here I was mentioning how I thought his references to "I Have a Dream" and "We Hold These Truths to be Self Evident ... All Men are Created Equal" were just empty allusions to his race...

Turns out, they're not even original allusions, but copped from another black candidate, the current Massachusetts governor!

Lol -- maybe that would play better were he only running, say, for Illinois governor, and not commander in chief. Because surely America isn't ready to elect somebody president just because he's black and you can just wind him up and feed him lines, right? We're smarter than running that at this critical time, right? So much for freshness, and change... and character.

Howard Wolfson, the Clinton campaign's communications director, today accused Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) of committing “plagiarism” in a speech in Milwaukee on Saturday night.

“Sen. Obama is running on the strength of his rhetoric and the strength of his promises and, as we have seen in the last couple of days, he’s breaking his promises and his rhetoric isn’t his own.”

C'mon, I know the Kennedy's plagarized too, but surely this will get a mention in the biased press... right? Make you wonder if the color thang is really all that important just to show how unprejudiced we are, how much we hate the Clinton's? Hello, hello Maureen? Professor Schwartz You really want to go down on record as liking this stuff, and thinking he's better prepared than "Ms. Clinton"?

Remember, the reputation you save might be your own. And isn't it better to find out the man's weaknesses now, rather than when he's trying to lead the country? ("psst... Deval, what you got on Kosovo?")
