The Best Quote I've Heard About Barack Obama (Since Waking Up This Morning)
Posted on September 10, 2008 at 08:22 AM
On Newshour this morning, a reporter was asking people why they'd vote for Barack Obama. This was my favorite:
Because he's young...and full of beans.
Full of beans! Dammit, Obama! That's why this race is so close! You're not getting back to the language values this country was built on. Psh, you might think that the reason why you're polling so close to McCain is that Americans are ignorant and will not only believe that you're a Muslim, but think that's something to be frightened of. No! The problem is that they don't know that you're the candidate that's full of beans. You're bursting with pip and vigor, Barack! Let America see it—drink more coffee! Nibble more chocolate! When you roll into a town, help promote nutrition by eating healthy, fiber-filled bean burritos!
You can win this, Obama. You're the bees knees.
