Two Duds

Comedian Jackie Mason and his coauthor Raoul Felder, writing in The American Spectator, do a real number on Clinton and Obama. First, they abuse Obama for answering in his "race" speech a question nobody had asked, thereby dodging the real question which was why he stayed close to a racist, nutball preacher for twenty years. Then they make fun of Clinton:

Hillary says she is the candidate of experience because of her time in the White House. Experience doing what? ... Her just released records reveal that she was upstairs in the White House while her husband was getting "Lewinskied" downstairs. Some person might ask the uncharitable question: How is she going to figure out what's going on in the rest of the world, when she could not figure out what was going on downstairs in her own house?

Their conclusion reflects something we have mentioned in this blog on several occasions:

The real question is: In a country that has so many talented people of all races and religions, in varying sizes, from giants to midgets, how did we end up with these two duds?

I suspect you could expand the analysis to include McCain and make it three duds. Once again we will be voting for the lesser of two, if not evils, how about second-raters?
