Murtha, Obama and the Jews
In case you missed it, Rep. John Murtha said John McCain is too old to be president. Of all the lines I’ve heard during this political season, that’s the one I enjoyed the most. If you’re wondering why, it’s because of all the consternation it must have caused many of Mr. Murtha’s Democratic colleagues. There are, by actual account, 21 Democrats in the House as old or older than 71-year-old McCain. Charles Rangel is coming up on 78 and John Dingell is 81. I bet they gave Murtha an earful in the men’s room.
As for the Senate, although Obama and Clinton are younger than McCain, 11 Democrats are older. Some are much older. Warner is 80, Inouye and Akada are each 83, Lautenberg is 84, and Robert Byrd is 90. I can just imagine what Ted Kennedy, 76, and Dianne Feinstein, who’s just shy of 75, said when they got wind of Murtha’s crack.

For instance, he insists that he’s the one person who can bring Democrats and Republicans together, but during his four years in Washington, not only hasn’t he proposed a single bipartisan measure, but he has the most liberal voting record in the Senate. Next, he claims he’s the fellow who can bring blacks and whites together, but he attended a black separatist church for 20 years, soaking up 1,000 Sundays worth of Rev. Wright’s verbal sewage.
But mention any of this to one of Obama’s worshippers and you either get one of those blank looks popularized by the Stepford wives or you’re called a racist.
That leads me to second a motion proposed by my wife. She thinks the word “racist” should be banished from the popular lexicon, along with the likes of chink, yid, wop, Polack and queer. People – generally blacks and liberals – toss the word around with impunity, labeling anyone who is opposed to affirmative action, entitlements based on pigmentation or even the pros
