Track-A-’Crat: The Roll Call of Democratic Delinquency

Do politicos know how to have fun or what?

Whether it’s cheating on your wife, being on the take or spanking male prisoners (John Edwards, Monica Conyers and Herman Thomas, respectively), they always come up with new and exciting ways to have fun.

NY Governor-by-default David Paterson, however, has struck gold with his latest search for amusement, which revolves around mocking The One.  Having been thrown under the bus by the delicate flower that is Barry, Paterson’s magnificent retort was to claim that Barry was only wee-wee’d off because he’s yet to achieve anything as president.

Before his wife came to his aide (wives are wonderful, aren’t they?) by suggesting that Barry might have a problem with black governors.

Wow.  Talk about friendly fire.

And Paterson is not letting matters lie.  After Barry declared that his henchmen would take back bonuses and salaries from investment firms that accepted TARP money, Paterson lashed out, stating that,

That probably cost New York $1 billion.

Politicians ultimately care about no-one except themselves.  And if you’re a threat to that self-preservation, then you’re fair game, no matter what your party allegiance.

Were Paterson the governor of a different state, this confrontation could easily be swept under the carpet.  But that’s not the case.  This enmity has the potential to be epic.

Good Lord.

Were any of the people in the above photo me (even including the one whose face is obscured by the upside-down sign [fail]), then I’d think that I’d swiftly partake in the hydrochloric-acid-to-face-to-erase-my-shame maneuver, in the good, old-fashioned Middle Eastern-style.

‘Cos that’s merely one of their cultural mores – in the same way (kinda) as it’s traditional in the West to hold doors open for women – so we’re obliged to accept it under pain of being slandered as racist for the rest of eternity.

This post was supposed to be about NY Gov. David Paterson getting all catty with Barry, but the photo was too good to pass up.

Explaining his back-stabbing by Barry, Paterson declared that,

If you look at it from their perspective, they haven’t exactly been able to govern in the first year of their administration in the way that other administrations have.

Which is a more polite way of saying that Barry’s achieved jacksh*t so far and signals to the hive-mind of the Democrats that Paterson has gone rogue and needs to be dealt with.

Really, the only crime that Democrats are capable of in each others’ eyes is that of infidelity to the party.

Cheat on your terminally-ill wife?  Who cares!

Take (pathetically small) bribes?  Doesn’t matter!

Combine corruption and insider-trading to enrich yourself?  It’s cool!

So here’s hoping that the Paterson-Obama relationship gets worse before it gets better.

Lots worse.

Question: how useless do you have to be to lose the confidence of a man who has never run anything?

Answer: this useless.

I’m struggling to think of anything more crushing than being dropped by a party the sum of whose members have achieved precisely squat (and that’s an exact figure).

Plus, isn’t this racist?

At least according to Democrats.

And especially NY Governor David Paterson, who did not, I repeat not, fire a white photographer in order to replace him with a black one.

Nope, no siree Bob, that ain’t what happened.

Except that it is.

Paterson’s cronies in NY state have settled the discrimination suit out of court with Joseph Maioriello (to the tune of $300,000), the photographer who lost his job for being the not desired color.

If only Maioriello had resisted the offer and taken this further…

UPDATE: Well, more like an afterthought.  Please do try to refrain from calling it “reverse” racism.  That implies that racism can only go in one direction, that all “true” racism can only happen against non-whites.  And that’s as stupid as it sounds.
