Pass the Dunce Cap to Haley

By Sniffles

Haley Barbour is living in an alternate universe.

The Republican Governor of Mississippi is quoted in Politico today on the GOP's problems in the wake of the Obama win. The way that the Republicans could have defeated Senator Obama, the porcine Mr. Barbour averred, was to make him "unacceptable" to voters. "And the McCain campaign did not choose to try to make that argument."

Huh? Did Governor Barbour watch the same general election that we did? Or did he just happen to miss little McCain-Palin gems like "Palling around with domestic terrorists," "This is not a man who sees America the way you and I see America," and "Who is the real Barack Obama?" (To which their increasingly frenzied crowds shouted, "A terrorist!" and "A traitor!" And, charmingly, "Kill him!")

Not to mention "that one" and all those negative ads.

Governor Barbour, we cats HISS at your twisting of the truth. What you really meant is that McCain-Palin did try to make Senator Obama unacceptable to the American people. And the American people found that unacceptable.

Now, go sit in the corner.
