THIS IS A CHICAGO SUN-TIMES COLUMN TODAY: “Suppose Barack Obama had dumped a crippled wife and married a beer heiress one month after the divorce. Do you really think he wouldn’t have been tripped up by such a scandalous past? The Republicans would have had a field day mocking his character. But John McCain’s tawdry personal history is rarely mentioned.” [Mary Mitchell/Sun-Times]
Same thing if Obama had a 17 year-old unmarried pregnant daughter, which the DNC delegates proceeded to cheer for on national TV. The repubs and conservatives would be crying bloody hell.
Whatever…
Yes, but he EXPRESSED REGRET by punching his ex-wife in the throat. Plus it was so long ago and he pays her to keep her maw shut.
That’s because America hates Uppity Community Organizers, but loves men who spent FIVE AND A HALF YEARS, ALAN with reeds shoved up their butts by 16 year old vietnamese boys
In other news, the sun is warm and water is wet.
If she thinks it’s “rarely mentioned”, then she hasn’t visited this site.
We’ll add it to the list of a hundred things that if Obama did they would freak out about. But really, we’re asking for intellectual consistency and honesty from the fevered swamps of the right wing? You’d be better off asking for a doctoral thesis on evolution.

They left out the part about her being a trollop.
…or perhaps while our banks are failing if he had been involved in the S&L scandal in the 80’s as a member of the Keating Five.
The Carol thing was a practice marriage. It’s called getting experience, something thst Obama lacks.
A place where Democrats still get to say ‘crippled.’ And people wonder why I love Chicago.
rockstarjoe: or a cunt.
Carol is “not bitter”?? She knows that if she talks, a forklift of cases of Bud Light “accidentally” falls on her.
I have to think that the bloom is off the rose here and the MSM may actually sack up. I mean the Chicago Sun Times is not exactly the Podunk Pennysaver, and if they feel the need to finally expose McLoser other papers may step up as well. I have seen MSM start to dance around with calling the Republican BS, and here’s hoping the polls start to reflect that.
I was told by a republican yesterday “So what? That was like 30 years ago!” and then “How boring”!
And if the Democrat had spent FIVE AND A HALF YEARS, ALAN! in a prison, it would’ve been twisted to mean a federal “pound me in the ass” prison…for crack.
Lighten up, people! Who hasn’t married a swimsuit model, abandoned her for a sweet young heiress and used that money to run for public office. You act as if it isn’t done ever day.
I would think that if Barack Obama had helped destroy an entire sector of our banking system 20 years ago, they might mention that too.
freakishlystrong: Yeah, cuz the Hanoi Hilton wasn’t a “pound me in the ass” prison, just like Gitmo isn’t.
See, the old wife was a brunette. That just ain’t gonna fly for Johnny Mac! You need to find those icy, Hitchcock blonds with beer money to spare. So what if she’s got a little pill problem that bankrupts a charity or two? Who needs charity when you have 11 houses?
I actually, I need a house. Got any to spare, old man?
this creepy, hypocritical old fart will say anything, anytime, on any issue if he thinks it will help his election chances….
as if we needed any more proof:

bring your barf bag.
Beer4Prez: Frank Rich brought this up Sunday. Sad but true. That’s not racial transcendence!
What would the media have done if Michelle Obamas father was in business with the Las Vegas Mafia?
Yea, Hensley did some jail time for Kemper Marley and was awarded the beer distributorship for taking the fall. Hensley and Kemper Marley were kicked out of investing money in Ruidoso Race Track by the Jockey Club investigation into their mafia ties.
A Phoenix reporter was killed by a car bomb investigating this story.
Cindy, a daughter of the mob.
These are the people who first put McCain in office in Arizona, including ’suggesting’ the liquor company employees should ‘donate’ to the McCain campaign.
Tawmn: They tend to respond differently if you bring up the subject of Ted Kennedy.
Here’s how the right handles this:
After Edwards’ recent confession, Hannity was all over it, talking about “character” and the like. One of his guests brought up McCain’s not-so-faithful past, to which Hannity went insane, spouting (and shouting) about “five years in the Hanoi Hilton, tortured and beaten.”
Shitty piloting will absolve any sin in that world.
What kind of hellacious shitstorm would Barry have been subject to if he had used the phrases “Fuck you”, “I wouldn’t call you an asshole unless you really were an asshole”, and “I’m calling you a fucking jerk!” to senate colleagues? I doubt he’d be portrayed as a straight talking maverick.
Suppose Barack Obama’s mother had sense enough to have an all white baby instead of a half-black baby or at least gave her half-black baby a normal ‘merikun name? Who knows how far ahead he’d be in the presidential race today. 10 or 15 points maybe. Too many ‘merikuns would trust a white man holding a cement block before they would trust a black man holding a life raft if they were drowning. Barry is too good for this shit.
ColdCupofHope: I have a house to spare. You can have it outright. Needs work, having suffered minor damage in the past. Even if you are anti-gun, it is strongly suggested you bring one with you while inspecting the structure and the “neighborhood.”
That reminds me… Great Job, Bush, on making sure everybody was prepared for Ike. Just top notch work that’s sure to give you a higher approval rating (when hell freezes over). And hell will be freezing over, because right after all the ice melts the world is plunged into a flash-freeze lasting 1000 years. Hello great skiing!
We can take this game even farther- considering the name’s of Palin’s wholesome, white sounding names, what would have happened if Obama named his daughters Shaneequa and Fareeza?
FIVE AND HALF YEARS, KEN! FIVE AND HALF YEARS!
The GOP can be wrong all the time. Obama can only be wrong once.
Yes, I just equated the GOP to terrorists.
Well, obviously Barry would have married a [i]malt liquor[/i] heiress. Therein lies a distinct difference. I say roll on, Republicans. And I can say that because Billy Dee told me that Colt 45 was uber sexy.
Oh, balls…someone teach this girl how to italicize things. Apparently I’m not as smart as I thought I was.
Not to mention G-d knows how many PI hookers in his sailor days.
Gopherit v2.0: I wouldn’t be so sure of that.
sati demise: He wouldn’t be our first mobbed-up president.
Scott-san: GOP = Giant Octopus Party, the Party of Cthulhu.
Yeah, and if Barack Obama had a tanning bed for his daughters, people would find that much weirder than Palin having one.
how come carol wasn t a keynote speaker at the dnc? with delegates yelling and screaming as the poor woman breaks down and sobs remembering the raw deal she got from mcasshole! the ratings on it would have covered the super bowl..and the right wing howl would have been ear splitting!
