Proving he is in fact, as his number one fan, Rush, proclaims him, “the Messiah”-elect Barack Obama named his national security staff. It was so messianic that Rush was rushed off the air today – replaced by a long-haul truck driver radio yakker from Ft. Worth station WBAP – something about illness. We can only hope.
When naming AZ governor Janet Napolitano (a Ben & Jerry’s flavor of the week) as Homeland Security director, Obama boiler plated about how she’ll “defend our sprawling homeland, and unlike the current director, does not look like death warmed-over.”
Actually the warmed-over part is way too kind. That’s why Michael Chertoff never visited a funeral home – they’d fill him full of formaldehyde.
As part of his messianic game plan, Obama rolled out the tag-team press conference…Obama introducing Hilary…and along the pecking order with Napolitano introducing Susan (“don’t call me Condoleezza”) Rice as ambassador to the U.N., introducing national security advisor (“don’t call me Jim”) James Jones (biggest hit, “Wives & Lovers” – whoops, that’s Jack Jones), who brought out the lowest on the tag-team Joe Biden, who had no one left to bring up, except his lunch.
Haven’t seen anything this novel since the death of vaudeville, though the black face couldn’t be rubbed off at the end of the presentation.
