Radical Right’s Rumination: All Things Barack
Not content to cower in the corner licking its wounds after the devastating November Election and plotting its future path to the right of right, the Radical Right continues to growl and snap at everything President-Elect Obama does.
After returning the ever-so-creepy Saxby Chambliss to the US Senate, the new Right-wing hubub is that Senator Clinton is ineligible to become Secretary of State due to the “Emoluments Clause” of the US Constitution. Judicial Watch, who broke this “story”, call themselves “a conservative, non-partisan educational foundation” leaving out the fact that their distaste of the Clintons is as strong than Jason’s disgust of all things Republican. This is a total non-issue that will be worked out by the US Senate as it has been done in the past, like during the Nixon Administration.
I wonder what tomorrow may bring.

Oh, there is more whackiness in the wing(nut)s.
My sis-in-law, a staunch righty, to whom I do what I can to not label her a wingnut, because I think she falls under the deception of pundits, advised us about the Obama birth certificate folly (folly is my take, this is real to her) getting ready to get another shake out. The apparent cry this time is that Obama will be stripped of his President-Elect status because he was not a US born citizen.
Ungh. In the spirit of the Jason-torn Peanuts Christmas, I loosely quote Charlie Brown:
Ha ha, well, Smitty, good to know that you’re a reality-based Republican and not so much a dittohead. I’d rather have an opponent I can argue with than one that lives outside the world of facts.
So am I understanding correctly that this clause means that no one in the current legislature would be eligible for SOS???
This new bit of birth certificate folly is brought to you by the Professional Carpetbagger that is Alan Keyes.
Keyes is also a long-time practitioner of the business of making up outrageous stuff for his overly credulous listeners to get their dudgeon up to. The usual racket.
andy1, you are correct. But it is the venom in which the Radical Right attacks the Clintons which is so disconcerting.
BTW, this is a good example of why the Radical Right so wanted Hillary to win the Democratic Nomination. If she had run for President in the General Election, there would have been no need to pick Palin as VP to energize the base.

It’s already bad enough that she’s fallen prey to the wingnuttery fringe (Shamnity, O’Reilly, etc), but if she’s gone as far as Keyes, then I need to perform an exorcism!

I have…twice…back when this was attempting to get legs months ago. This one is a new spin on the old myth. BTW, I wear out my snopes.com bookmark debunking crazy myths from my wingnuttery homies. Me and snopes…we’re tight.
