The front page of the Chicago Tribune features a nude painting done by a 69 year old artist – who employed his daughter as a model for Governor Palin. The Chicago Tribune editorial geeks are solidly behind Senator Obama. Along with the cork-screwing Sun Times, the Tribune engages in a daily beatdown of McCain or Palin. No big deal really as no one in Chicago seems to pay much attention to the Chicago editorial dweebs and pencil-necks who tend to live in lily-white suburbs while celebrating diversity.
With all the news that the Chicago Tribune is not covering – Tony Rezko, Willliam Ayers and their long and close associations with Senator Obama; another murdered Chicago Police Officer; multiple killings and shootings on the south and west sides; a moronic Governor bankrupting the State; Public Schools looting the budget and world wide terrorism; the editorial snobs decided to be edgy.
The painting is in no way offensive – its is badly done art, by what appears. It might be to Gov. Palin’s father or her husband, but then again the ‘artist’ would cower behind freedom of speech and artistic expression to avoid a sound beating by either or both gentleman.
What is offensive is the ‘nuanced’ editorial gigglers. Nuanced means bullshit these days – Obama is ‘nuanced.’ Obama is using ‘Middle Class’ more than TV sit coms use ‘Dude!’ – when in fact, Obama committed to Trinity United Church of Christ which demanded that members ‘disavow’ the American Middle Class. That’s Nuanced. The editorial Board at the Chicago Tribune is Nuanced.
The Chicago Tribune long ago shred its dignity along with editorial intelligence. No matter, people will stop buying the paper product and more hard working and effective people with the Tribune will be laid off – and the talentless and smugly mediocrities will soldier on.
The painting is of no consequence and even of less consequence is the Chicago Tribune.
A Chicago Police Officer was murdered by a drug-dealing thug – every day occurrence; the greatest financial catastrophe in decades brought on by Progressive nitwits and scam mortgage pirates; a simpleton Governor is bankrupting Illinois – but Chicago Tribune needs to mock the Governor of a solvent State running for Vice President.
Eric Zorn says that expectations for Gov. Palin are on the floor.
It is always great to hear someone display contempt and low-regard before a contest. Generally, it comes from someone who has never been in a fight, much less won one.
People who have actually acted in the interests of other people or been placed in a situation that requires dignity and courage from them never sneer at any combatant.
Most people, and Sarah Palin is like most people not Tina Fey, or Bill Maher or Sean Hannity, face life and the occasional opponent as if they were playing Notre Dame every day.
Then there are the nuanced – those who avoid the fights, the struggles, the commitments – and sneer.
On Thursday night Governor Palin will face a great Democratic foe in Senator Biden. She had best pack a big Lunch. She will do fine.
Then, Governor Palin and turn to chat with Salon, MSNBC, CNN, and the dweebs at Chicago Tribune. Pack a big energy bar cupcakes.
Ludicrous says:
Obama also listed the Congressional Black Caucus as one of his charitable contributions.
Donating to a Political Action Committee that you belong to does not strike me as particularly charitable.
Hank says:
Rezko is an influence peddler. He gets a campaign contribution to the Governor’s fund then the contributor either gets a state job or contracts with the State of Illinois. The governor’s wife is a real estate agent. She sells a piece of property for an excessive commission and a few weeks later those who bought the property get a State contract. It’s called Pay to Play in Illinois. Rezko helped Obama buy his Chicago Mansion which he could not afford as a new State Representative. Rezko also bought the property next door to Obama and then sold it to Obama for a loss. Why? To gain influence. Emil Jones is the Governor’s point man in the State Senate and has blocked all Bills that came out of the House of Representatives that the Governor did not want passed. That includes a bill to impeach the Governor. Emil Jones was also Obama’s political mentor in the Capital. Jones gave Obama a few popular Bills to pass that he knew nothing about. But Obama voted “present” about 100 times in his short tenure in the capital so bills that they did not wanted passed died. That’s why Obama has no record of doing anything while in the state legislature. The last week in October Obama has problem because Rezko is going to be sentenced and there is great pressure from his people to get the hearing pushed back to after the election. If not, they are begging the US Attorney in Chicago to make sure Obama’s name is not mentioned at the hearing and is under seal till after the election. Every one in Chicago knows this and we are at a loss why the rest of the county is unaware!
Fraud says:
Obama Girl paid:

Also political contributions are not tax deductible:

This is the video Obama's minions keep trying to get shut down. It is factual, deals with the current financial crisis, and needs to be seen! PASS IT ON!
Scrooge Obama says:
Obama and his wife donated thousand of dollars to the controversial Trinity United Church of Christ. In one year, they tithed more than $20,000.00.
Is this an example of "Pay to pray politics?"
The contribution is particularly interesting given the fact that Obama has been somewhat stingy in terms of his charitable donations. As reported in the London newspapers, Obama even failed to honor his pledge to help raise funds for the high school named in his honor in Kenya. After five years, a local Kenyan noted that Obama had yet to donate a single shilling in fulfillment of his promise to the children.
