Reblog of Andrew Sullivan, reblogging his reader.

A reader writes:

As a Chicagoan who has watched Obama emerge on the national scene, I couldn’t agree with you more about his cunning and charisma. Before things really started ramping up, people asked me whether he had a chance against the Clinton attack machine and I said “I look at all his opponents on both sides of the aisle and think, you poor, sad fools. You don’t even know what you are getting into.”

Every time I read articles about this I think about Herndon’s statement about Lincoln:

“That man who thinks Lincoln sat down calmly and gathered his robes about him, waiting for the people to call him, has a very erroneous knowledge of Lincoln. He was always calculating, and always planning ahead. His ambition was a little engine that knew no rest.”

That describes Barack Obama to a tee which is precisely why he is such an incredibly deadly politician.

I love the interpreter in this clip.  Ha - like there’s a German who isn’t fluent in English.  ”There is no German for ‘blow job’”, she demures.  That’s because they all speak the English.  The German for “blow job” is “blow job”.

Those moments when I think it could be time to leave NY:

Like last night.  Around 815 PM, I’m sitting on a pretty empty 1 train, heading down town.  Along comes an elderly, less than 5 foot tall homeless man.  He looks sad and tired, I have a little pang of emotion for him.  He looks at me, and sits down across the aisle from me.  Fine.  8-10 minutes go by.  I mostly stare at my ipod.  Oh, but then a little movement catches my eye.  I look up - boom.  His cock and balls are OUT of his pants.  And he is rubbing them aggressively.  I look up - he is smiling right at me.  I jump up and run towards the other end of the car.  He yells out: “You fucking bitch.  You fucking cock-tease.”  I exit train, stand on platform, let two trains pass by, try to compose myself - can’t.  Go up to street, call my mom.  She says: “Well, it was bound to happen”.
