Downies: Clueless As Usual
This is the start of the blog known as "Joobo the King of Wisdom."
Before we precede, a little info: When we refer to "Downies" or the Downtrodden Party, this is our name for Democrats. Their ideas are shopworn old crap...wait: that's their leadership!...and their morals are garbage.
Now, onto the wisdom for all to read.
The Downtrodden Party is now entering that period of time when a party, down in the dumps because they have been consigned to minority status, starts to do really stupid things to make themselves worth listening to. Fortunately for the rest of us, what the Downies have decided to do is to tick off the one constituency which continues to stay on the liberal plantation and remain as loyal bootlickers: blacks. But, alas, goes the story: What can Downies do to even ruin their standing with this crowd? How about...oppose a black nominee for Secretary of State! Yeah, that's the ticket! And...wait, now...we'll get a bombastic simpleton like..Barbara Boxer...yeah!...to lead the charge against the black nominee! As Al Pacino said in "Scent of a Woman": "Hoo hah!" How incredible!
Now, Downies did make fools of themselves, and in the process ticked off some noted black Downies, like Andrew Young, no conservative he. The real story is that for all their huffing and puffing (and in the way ruining any chance of advancement for Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana), all these dimwitted Downies could muster was 13 votes against Condi Rice. 13 votes! That is 1/3rd of the 44 Dems in the Senate! They had 2/3rds of their own party vote against them!
This is the first turning point in the 2006 election. Following that contest, we will all look back and ask: just when was it that Downies continued to flounder, leading to more losses in the House and Senate next year? Perhaps we can look back with fond memories to when Barbara Boxer (D-Moronia) made a stand and tried to defeat a black nominee for Secretary of State with 13 measly votes.

"What I find interesting is that during the Clinton years, he made such a huge broohaha over having named women to high profile positions: Albright and Reno. And he made such a fuss about them being women and its historical significance that it almost seemed as if their qualifications for those positions were a secondary concern."
And remember what a disaster Albright was. She got us involved in the war in Kosovo, where we bombed innocent Serbian civilians. Do you remember the Barbara Boxers or Mark Daytons screaming at her for that?"In Bush's case, he has named people to positions never before held by an African American and an African American woman: Powell and Rice. But unlike Clinton, you don't see the administration harping the historical significance of that. And I think it is because the primary concern for the administration is the qualification of the person and not their color or gender."
Bush has named more minorities - blacks, Hispanics, etc. - to high office than Clinton ever tried to do. At least Bush's nominees are experienced and well-meaning people; Clinton's were mostly crooked (Remember Ron Brown? Hazel O'Leary? Need I say more?).Joobo
