    I’m not an Obama fanboy — I think he’s positioned as a *major* enabler of (American) liberalism, and would be much more effective in that capacity than any of the others. He scares me.

    But I like how he doesn’t immediately kowtow to all the “controversies” that the Beltway media/bureaucracy complex uses to whittle public figures down to nothing.

    Drudge used to have a blood feud with the Clintons, but now they are useful to each other, because Drudge knows Clinton is the least electable of them all. So now Drudge is acting as Hillary’s attack dog.

    Sad.

    Note that Howard Stern has avoided an episode like this because, among other reasons, he usually makes any racially sensitive comments through a character or some sort of parody, and thus can claim to always be making fun of racism as such. I only bring this up because it reminds me of Cramer’s recent controversy, where he described manipulating stocks in the first person and then later claimed to be describing some hypothetical trader, roughly corresponding to his old “Buzz” and “Batch” characters from around 2000. (Also, it seems that Cramer is one of the few public personalities out there to have had any “hand” over Stern – when Stern was laden with Sirius stock. I seem to recall Stern dumping the stock shortly after Cramer began slamming it.)
