Two conservative, Southern ex-Democratic senators have endorsed Barack Obama for president, even though their region of the country still makes its dollar via chattel slavery. Hooray for free blacks from the North running for president! Neither of the two senators, however, was Zell Miller, who has endorsed Gen. "Stonewall" Jackson.
Meet yr Barry endorsers, who each "know stuff" about the various issues:
- Sam Nunn, ex-Senator from Georgia, chair of the Armed Services Committee from 1987-1995. "We need a president who has the temperament of a leader — a sharp, incisive, strategic mind, a rare capacity for self criticism, and a willingness to hear contrary points of view." And I can be his white Southern vice president!
- David Boren, ex-Senator from Oklahoma, former chair of the Select Committee on Intelligence (smartypants elitist!). "Senator Obama is also a person of sound and good judgment. He had the good judgment more than five years ago to warn against our involvement in this tragic and costly war. He also understands the need to repair our partnerships with other nations and to more effectively use diplomacy to serve our national interests." And I can be his white Southern vice president!
Are you a relic of the old Southern Democratic establishment and did you once hold key positions involving foreign & military affairs? Endorse Barry today and you might win four years as Barry's white vice president!

I believe Zell Miller endorsed John Wilkes Booth.
Obama/Nunn?
Sounds like a Islamic holiday.
Although one might view Barry as formerly black, how can Sam Nunn be formerly white? That's like calling Cheney formerly Satan.
Didn't McCain endorse Teddy Roosevelt the first time McCain could vote? Oh no, wait, that was his second time.
They were both involved in the Unity08 third party run, so I guess that thing is dead.
@sluggo: In the racially transcendent times we live in,we are all formerly one race or another.In today's world,we're all neutral,without colors.
Just let go of your labels.And make sure you find some hippy chicks to repeat this bullshit to
Geebus, Hell really *has* frozen over.
Two words: Park Overall.
Do these endorsers not see the obvious? Hillary and Obama are going to run together no matter who wins. DUH. JEEBUS.
@weazel: Whoa. Where did that come up? Watching a little Empty Nest on Nick at Nite?
(I'm embarrassed I knew your reference off the top of my head.)
Hint: "It stiiinks!..."
@Serolf Divad: only because he thought booth shot lincoln with a spitball
@weazel: The foodfight in the UN school cafeteria is still a classic TV moment.
i'm old. southern. not a relic yet. but i'm not as old as john mcbush.
Not to be picky or anything, but Oklahoma is not not NOT part of the South. Jeebus, we have quite enough rubes and yokels and garden-variety idiots without adding Okies in to the mix.
@queeraselvis: Uh..Oklahoma where the wind goes sweeping down the plain? I suppose it's more west or so the surreys with the fringe on top would indicate.
Oklabama?
@TGY: Not west. We don't want it either. How about we give it to Mexico?
Don't get me wrong, I'm an Obama guy, but this has the aroma of score settling with the Entity.
Here some dude who saying that Boren had lots bad sexy time with other Davids

A Gaypril blast from the past. Have fun!
Just imagine. If the North hadn't won the war George Bush would have never been president. Man that was a close one!
Doesn't Boren have better things to do, like hang out in the Custer County jailhouse?
Fred Phelps and his Klan were supposed to protest at an OU football game a few years ago. They said Boren's secret homosexuality was poisoning the minds of the students and would bring god's wrath ( I guess in tornado form) upon the campus, causing untold misery.
Instead, Phelps didn't show but god punished Oklahoma anyway with consecutive embarrassing Fiesta Bowl losses.
Seriously, we don't want OK.
@weazel: The Critic! A fine show.
Haven't we all woke up half drunk and got a real good look at we decided to go to bed with and, 'ew'
Is it true that Foghorn Leghorn has endorsed Gravel?
Overall/Leghorn in 08!
