“Absolutely Stupid”

Dear Obama
I know you’re kinda new to this whole Legislature thing, being in your first term and all (thanks Jeri!), but Civil Rights leaders don’t sign legislation into Law.
Love
Chuck

   Okay, help me out here. I can’t find where Obama said that King could have passed or signed legislation.
   As near as I can tell, all he said was that MLK had “more to do” with getting the Civil Rights Act passed. I don’t think it’s correct but it’s not implausible because pressure applied by King certainly helped to get it passed.
   Of course, I’m a contrarian. If you want my vote for the single individual most important for getting the legislation passed and signed, that would be Lee Harvey Oswald.

   Ken, it’s hard to find exactly what was said. Here is a little fuller quote; what this really is starting to look like is a Clinton attack dog coming out to defend Hill.
   plus I can’t resist linking to the Jeri Ryan sex scandal that got Obama his Senate seat.

   I’d can’t resist thinking about linking with Jeri… Even with that big blotchy thing on her face…

   This is the same Charlie Rangel who desperately wants to reintroduce the draft.

   This guy is stupid.

   Jeri Ryan was about the only reason to ever tune into Voyager. Now you tell me that MLK:Civil Rights Act :: Jeri Ryan:Obama’s Senate Election.
   F’k’n Voyager. This is Janeway’s fault.
