And John McCain is This Year's Miss Congenialty!

McCain responds, "I feel pretty, oh so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and gaaaay (Which is, of course, evil, immoral, recently illegal (thanks to voters like you!), and an abomination in the eyes of the Lord)."

Trust Mr. McCain to ruin a perfectly good musical number. Did you hear that McCain?! I said you're BOOOORING!

It seems as though President-elect Obama is handing out Runner-Up positions this week. "Thank you for playing, sorry I had to beat you - no hard feelings; how does Secretary of State sound?"

News organizations and politicos have all been abuzz the past week over the P.E.'s potential picks for his national security team, etceteras, etceteras. Allegedly, Hillary Clinton is a shoe-in for Secretary of State (that is, of course, if that nasty rascal Bill doesn't ruin it for her... and his little library fund too...). Other names revealed, as per drawn from a big, George Washington-style hat, for his economic team?

Heading his economic team are expected to be Timothy Geithner as Treasury secretary and Lawrence Summers as head of the National Economic Council. Obama apparently also has settled on New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson as his commerce secretary.

I love that NPR chooses the words "...apparently also has settled on... Bill Richardson". Insinuating both shock and vague disappointment; but I, for one, am happy about the pick. I loved former presidential candidate Bill Richardson throughout the campaigning, if, for nothing else, simply how incredibly sincere and kind he seems. He reminds me of a puppy. A Latino puppy... and in my eyes, that's all the expertise he needs.

John Edwards, for one, won't be seeing any action this term. Adulterers don't get to play the game! Those is the rules.

Obama Puts Ho in Place on 60 Minutes

Now I know that I'm a little late making a post concerning this subject. Obama's interview on 60 Minutes was upwards of a week and a half ago, but in my defense, this blog was not in effect at that particular time. So let's ignore the problem, and move on to the real issues - marital issues, that is.

That's right. You heard it here first. Michelle and Barack are falling apart (The sexy and happy couple pictured above). The vigorous campaigning away from home that occurred all throughout the last two years, the stress of the upcoming presidential office, the indecision on what kind of puppy to get for the girls. All of which must be terrible for Mrs. Obama to cope with. But what really irks the soon-to-be first lady, is the Pesident-elect's lack of appreciation for an (over)opinionated woman.

Here, the recent interview with both Barack and Michelle on 60 Minutes:

Interview with the Obamas - Click to watch!

You'll notice that President-elect Obama does a pretty damn good job on his own for most of the interview. Then 60 Minutes decides to allow the Missus onto the program (This at about 20 minutes in).

Then suddenly the interview turns into a smörgåsbord of boring old stories about college apartments and slumber parties and school trips. Every question thrown at the couple gets immediately intercepted by the future first lady, and receives a rambling and lengthy response. To the point that in order to answer the final question of the interview, Barack is forced to bitch slap Michelle and talk about manlier topics - like college football.

The public diss caught on tape!

Ooh, Obama, you a bad mutha--Michelle, shut yo' mouth!

Michelle sneaks in one final retort, however... a subtle symbol to represent her feelings.

That's the spirit, Michelle... Don't you let The Man bring you down!
