...and he's a pandering dope.

From the “As if we didn’t already know” file, B-HO will say and do anything necessary to win – truth and principle be damned. On Oct. 11, while pandering to a crowd in the City of Brotherly Love, B-HO said this: “My White Sox are gone, so I’ll go ahead and root for the Phillies now.”

Then in Tampa on Monday afternoon, B-HO changed his mind and expressed support for the Rays. "I have said from the beginning that I'm a unity candidate, bringing people together. So when you see a White Sox fan showing some love for the Rays and the Rays showing some love back, you know we're onto something here.”

This reminds me of the time the Griffin bet the field at the track so he and Lex jr could beat me out of $5. Jr. says, “hey dad wanna bet I got the winning ticket right here” as he tapped his pocket. “I’ll take that bet”, I said. What I didn’t know was that jr. had a ticket in his pocket with $2 on every horse in the field and could not lose.

So B-HO’s out there betting the field for the World Series. He’s pandering to crowds in both PA and FL and stupid enough to think that it isn’t going to get out. And they think Sarah Palin isn’t smart enough. What a pandering dope. You could also make the case that he’s lying to one crowd or the other. And if you’re willing to lie about something as trivial as a baseball game, what else are you lying about that’s really important?

If I were McCain, I’d have ads up in FL and PA showing what a two-faced weasel B-HO is for saying he is rooting for both teams. The tag line for the ad would be, “if you can’t trust him to tell you who he’s rooting for in the World Series, how can you trust what he tells you about your taxes, your healthcare, your gun rights, your mortgage” fade out as the list continues. You could tie this in with another ad using B-HO’s bitter clinger remarks with a tag line, “What do we know about B-HO? He tells the crowds what they want to hear, but in private, he tells the elites what he believes.”

Then when the Lamestream Media boobs try to get McCain to hurt himself in one state or the other by declaring his allegiance, McCain says, “Unlike my opponent, I’m a straight talker. Arizona, my home state, has a National League team – the Diamondbacks. While I admire the achievements of both teams, loyalty to the D-backs’ National League affiliation will cause me to root for the Phillies in the World Series.” Sure people in FL may be disappointed or even PO’d, but they will respect a guy who tells the truth and picks a team a hell of a lot more than a two-faced dope who takes the people for fools while he tries to play both sides of the table.

Is this really important? In and of itself, no. But when you take this event into account with everything else we know about this over-rated buffoon – wait as a buffoon, he’s actually not over-rated – this empty suit, yeah I think it does matter. If you can’t pick a team for the World Series, how are you qualified to pick a course of action for dealing with Iran, Russia or North Korea?
