Merit-bound Alley

At Clinton’s Ohio rally, Machinist Union president Thomas Buffenbarger* had some unkind words for Obama and his supporters. Indeed, the screed was so long and vitriolic, that it earned boos and jeers from the audience. This just blows my mind:

“The Barack show is playing to rave reviews sold out at college campuses after college campus. Standing room only crowds to hear his silver-tounged orations. Hope, change, yes we can? Give me a break! I’ve got news for all the latte-drinking, Prius-driving, Birkenstock-wearing, trust fund babies crowding in to hear him speak. This guy won’t last a round against the Republican attack machine. He’s a poet, not a fighter.”

Well, that’s a great way to alienate half of the Deomcratic public, you braying jackass!

Also, it bears telling that yet again, Hillary Clinton neglected to mention her losses in WI and HI or to congratulate Barack Obama on the wins.

* “Buffenbarger” sounds like “Barfenburger”. I love that!
