Dr. Liberal,
I’m freaking out. This Rev. Wright thing has me in a tizzy. The national press is on it wall to wall. They never talk about McCain or Clinton, it is all Obama this and Obama that.
I’m snapping at my kids and at people in the dry cleaners. You’ve got to help me.Signed,
One Wright Makes a Wrong
Dear One,
I’m prescribing one big chill pill. it sounds like you’ve got a classic case of too much TV. So here is what you want to do.
The next time Tim Russert appears on your TV, quickly turn the TV off. Unplug the TV and put in in your linen closet. Put some blankets over the TV and forget that you have one until November. You are not going to miss anything. [American Idol will be won by the blonde and they are making up “Lost” as they go along and if you have not picked up on that yet you are in sad shape.]
Stop listening to NPR and to WDEL as well. Allan Loudell clearly hates Barack Obama (I’m calling you out Loudell!) so your best bet is to just get in tune with the natural music of the wind rustling in the trees.
You can donate some money to Obama if you want. Other than that there is no way you can have an impact on the votes in Indiana or North Carolina with, so don’t pay any attention to them. Your lunatic ravings in the dry cleaners might seem like they are winning over converts, but they are not.
Obama is still going to win this thing. Sure the national media, the local media (screw you Loudell!) the party hacks, the RNC, and his former pastors are against him. He’s got the delegates. He’ll be the nominee. ….Or not. And the Democratic party will once again get the nomiee that it deserves.
Sincerely,
Dr. Liberal
