But Names Could Never Hurt Me!

The Newly Anointed One states "a long resume says nothing about your character."

This is to answer folks who worry about his lack of experience.

I assume that it also means that he claims to be a man of character.

When John McCain's adviser, Kevin A. Hassett, Senior Fellow and Director of Economic Policy Studies, declares Barak Obama's economic plan to be plagiarism,

"The fact is that Obama’s [economic] plan today is the most shameless piece of potential plagiarism that I have ever seen. He basically took Clinton’s words and Clinton’s policies and called them his own. If I were a professor I’d give him an F and try to get him kicked out of school for something this terrible."

I would assume that a man of character would respond quickly to charges of plagiarism, and with great care and concern.

The response from the Man of Character?

"John McCain started attacking me on economic policy which I thought was flattering."

Flattering?? The Newly Anointed One is flattered.




“Don’t tell me words don’t matter! ‘I have a dream.’ Just words."

And when The Newly Anointed One is charged with plagiarizing this speech from Governor Patrick, the campaign responds


"The issue is a 'sideshow' that is not going to matter to real voters with real problems."




Plagiarism is a sideshow? Just ask Joe Biden or Doris Kearns Goodwin or Mike Barnicle or Jayson Blair. Trivial. Nothing to be concerned about. Honesty, integrity, character are just words. Nothing important. Just words.

Governor Patrick comes to the aid of his pal: "We're friends."



Go back and tell your arithmetic teacher that it is OK you copied those test answers, because the guy you copied from is your friend.



Just words. Nothing important.

So we have a Newly Anointed One who admits to having a short resume, but being long on character. Until a character issue comes up, when character, integrity, and honesty are dismissed as a sideshow, just words.

No experience, no character, no integrity, no honesty, and no words of his own.



What does the Newly Anointed One have going for him?

He is tall. He has a nice voice.

Maybe he should run for television commercial announcer.
