Who is the mole in the Obama campaign?
2008-09-13
Roger Kimball, Pajamas Media

Well, who is it? I am surprised that the brave, independent-thinking members of the Fourth Estate haven’t given full rein to the terrier instinct on this question. Obviously, someone inside the Obama campaign is out to sabotage The Chosen One’s credibility and, just as obviously, the journalistic profession speaks with a single voice when it comes to favoring The Obama over every other candidate. So where are the investigative reporters when we–or, rather, when they–need ‘em? Wouldn’t the cause of electing Obama come hell or high water be better served by suspending inquiries in to Todd Palin’s 1986 DUI citations and trying to ferret out the person or persons responsible for the disaster the Obama campaign has become?

Somebody has it in for Obama. What makes me say so? Well, there’s the matter of the gloves. Every few weeks now, Obama comes out and says “I’ve had enough of these nasty Republican smear tactics, the outrageous inquiries into my relationship with the admitted (and unrepentent) terrorist Bill Ayers or my 20-years as a congregant in the church of the anti-American wack-job Jeremiah Wright. From now on , I’m taking off the gloves and am going to run a tough (but high-minded) campaign.”

Is there a budget category for gloves over at Obama Central? . . .

#10  If there is any way to spread the rumor that the mole is likely to be a female who is bitter about Obama not picking Hillary, this thing could pay dividends.

#7  Billy Jeff and Hildebeest, for sure. I'm guessing that they planted a few deep-cover operatives in Bambi's camp after the Oprah endorsement started fueling his rise. Between that, some well-placed diarists and commenters in the leftist blogs, and their media contacts, making sure the Messiah had an ample supply of banana peels to slip on at appropriate times was no problem.

What I wonder is - did the Arkansas Irregulars have any clue that Johnny Mac was going to put Sarah on the ticket? That raises a whole 'nother set of questions...like has Karl Rove spent any time in NYC lately and if so, have the Harlem restaurants seen any spikes in orders for barbecued ribs to be delivered to the Clinton Foundation office?

#6  Are those the same gloves that OJ couldn't get his hand into? Obama's hands look a little smaller than the Juice's, he can prolly get em on.

#4  Unless this guy is a ventriloquist, Obama is saying these stupid things himself. But if he is a ventriloquist...

#2  I know it's just an hint, but PJ from DUmmie funnies has for quite some time pointed out an obama campaign strategist named "Kurt Grove", a somewhat overweight unassuming fellow that is said to have been worked as a freelancer for some Republican campaigns a few years before...

#1  It's more like there's a squirrel up in his shorts, I think.
