I heard Rush Limbaugh for a few minutes. He’s still advancing his “Operation Chaos,” in which he urges Republicans to switch parties and vote for Hillary to keep the Demo primary going, supposedly hurting Obama and helping McCain.
As I pointed out, it really should be called “Operation Kaos” after the evil secret organization in “Get Smart.” Would you believe Rush is Siegfried and McCain is Shtarker?
After McCain/Shtarker sings, to the tune of “Barbara Ann,” “Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran,” Rush/Siegfried shouts, “Zis is Kaos! Ve don’t ‘Barbara Ann’ here!”
All Operation Kaos has done is let Obama get rid of some baggage he was carrying around, such as his association with Rev. Wright. If Obama had won the nomination two months ago, that situation would have hung around, untested, until October, when the Republicans would have sprung it on him. It would have been the old October Surprise trick, but now the Republicans can’t use it.
Operation Kaos forced the Clinton smearbund, which is better than anything the Republicans have, to vet Obama.
As of the time I write, Hillary may have won Indiana, but by a smaller margin than Obama won NorCarolina, and it’s a smaller state. (She may go to lose, pending the vote count in Gary.) Given that these are two most fanatical basketball states in the country, she would have been better off challenging Obama to a one-on-one on a hoops court.
I suspect she’ll quit pretty soon. She won’t want to offend the black voters that are overwhelmingly backing Obama, so she can get them in 2012, if Obama loses this year, or in 2016, if he wins, which he will.
Democrats will close ranks around Obama and begin attacking McCain, who’s had an easy ride the last few months. Return attacks will be weak because Operation Kaos already used up all the ammo against Obama. (Rush to McCain: “Sorry about that, Chief!”)
It’s a shame Rush didn’t use his voice for niceness instead of evil.
Get ready for President Obama, who will break all sorts of barriers by becoming the first American president whose last name begins with an “O.”
And loving it.
