At The Moderate Voice, Joe Gandelman spoils everyone's fun by considering "Obama-Osama-Chelsea's Mom" from the perspective of a reasonable person who isn't driven to exploit every single political blunder of every candidate.
As you know, presidential hopeful Romney has stirred up a shitstorm---Gandelman, politer than I, calls it a "firestorm"---by helping a supporter hoist up this sign for the cameras. Why? He thereby appears to be "suggesting a link between or Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Osama bin Laden. Others demand he disavow the poster. Just read memeorandum or this link to Technorati and you’ll see how this has become a big issue." (Mitt Romney’s Obama Osama Political Stumble)
He
then lists 10 reasonable reasons why Romney stumbled into this idiotic
"controversy." There's one at every party, isn't there? Note to political moderates: Fake outrage makes politics fun and buffs up your adrenal glands!
But I'd like to add another reason to his list: The kid or whoever made the sign put Obama and Osama together because they RHYME. Like if Bob Dylan were to write a version of "The Times They Are a-Changin'" for the new Millenium, he'd practically have to rhyme "Hillary" and "Billary" and "Osama" with "Obama." You're not saying they are the same entity (in either case)....
