Slog - Comments on Obama Gets That Dirt Off His Shoulders http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/04/obama_gets_that_dirt_off_his_shoulders Snatched almost whole-cloth from Matt Yglesias: Barack Obama today managed to criticize the ABC debate while also subliminally channeling Jay Z—which must be a campaign first. Check out Obama at about 2:20. And now, Jay-Z:...

In other words, my posts *never existed*. Good job, Winston Smith! I've read posts by ecce homo that were racist as hell that were left up; where's *your* consistency, SLOG? If I'm a moonbat, then I'm a moonbat--the posts should speak for themselves. I used to think you guys were libertarians in liberals' clothing, but now I think you are fascists. I've had it. I'm voting for McCain.

If only he had pulled that smooth operator shit out of his ass during the actual debate last night. Still and all, this makes me ten kinds of happy.

And @1: It sure sounds like plenty in the audience thought the same thing. THAT was subliminal, if anything.

I had forgotten how good Jay-Z really is. If only we could get some Nas flavor up in here.
