Will the real Chris Matthews please shut up
Via Pajamas Media comes this editorial from Richard Fernandez, with some commentary on Chris Matthews’ latest foot-in-mouth incident: He wants President Bush to just resign today so that Obama can take office sooner. (video at GatewayPundit)
Chris, old buddy, I know that tingling leg of yours must be enough to drive you nuts, but for all your whining about how Bush has stomped all over the Constitution you really don’t seem to give that much thought to it yourself. You realize that Obama hasn’t been elected yet, right? That pesky election nonsense just getting in the way of annointing your new messiah, and your goal of “making his presidency a success,” I know. But you need to wait til December 15th before it’s official, and January 20th before he can take office. It’s kind of how the system works – and that’s per the Constitution. We all know you really don’t care about it, but at least pay it some lip service once in a while, alright? How classless and tasteless can you get, man?
Of course, if Bush DID step down then that would make Dick Cheney the president… wonder how many heads would explode over that one.

Homeland “Security?”
So via Daily Pundit, according to a “top Obama advisor,” AZ Governor Janet Napolitano is currently the frontrunner for Secretary of Homeland Security.
My first response was to start humming “ding, dong, the witch is dead,” because her vacating her spot gives us a chance to have someone with an ounce of competence occupy the Governor’s office for the first time since 2002. But then it occurred to me that this woman – you know, the one that’s bankrupted the state and all but openly begged illegal workers to come to the state in droves – might not be the best choice for the position. I mean, she’s outright fought Joe Arpaio (America’s Toughest Media Whore) over the one thing he actually gets right, which is illegal immigration – opposing him at every turn. That the governor who’s arguably failed the most miserably to protect her state’s borders is being considered by our President-elect to protect the nation’s borders is only a further indication of the man’s utter incompetence.
I feel like I’m on Mars or something.
What?
Seriously?
The guy who accepted millions of dollars in fraudulent campaign donations, the guy who disabled basic security checks on internet donations in order to facilitate that fraud, the guy who refuses to release basic documents about his birthplace, schooling, or health records, the guy who brought the John Kerry flip-flop back into style, the guy whose campaign facilitated brutal, unwarranted attacks on Sarah Palin and Samuel Wurzelbacher, the guy who first nationalized the use of Chicago-style politics…
A much higher ethical level?
Really?
Of course, the same guy is arguing for the return of the “fairness doctrine,” perhaps one of the most blatant violations of the First Amendment dreamed up in recent history, and a key component in any leftist’s dreamworld. So maybe he’s not the foremost expert on the topic of ethics.
Still, I can’t help but shake the feeling he’s not the only one taking this brand of crazy pills.
Further Insight
Iowahawk (recently added to the blogroll along with a few others I’d been shamefully neglecting) has a brilliant piece summarizing what significance this election has in addressing accusations of racism, and other perhaps even less pleasant accusations entitled – and if the title alone doesn’t get your mouth watering, I don’t know what will – America Can Take Pride In This Historic, Inspirational Disaster:
Although I have not always been the most outspoken advocate of President-Elect Barack Obama, today I would like to congratulate him and add my voice to the millions of fellow citizens who are celebrating his historic and frightening election victory. I don’t care whether you are a conservative or a liberal — when you saw this inspiring young African-American rise to our nation’s highest office I hope you felt the same sense of patriotic pride that I experienced, no matter how hard you were hyperventilating with deep existential dread.
