Maureen Dowd - one of several dysfunctional writers for the NYT said in a column this week that Barack could not win because of his name;

OBAMA HUSSEIN BARACK

She was despondent about this (but when is she NOT despondent), and thought he should have a nickname that did not sound like famous terrorists names - nor have a last name that rhymed with Iraq.

She also ignored, or was ignorant of that fact that it was Senator Kennedy who botched up the pronunciation of Osama Barama.... :o)

OBAMA HUSSEIN BARACK

Who's to say he isn't the Jr. Hitler of Irans long lost jihad brother? No way no how he wins even one primary. Look who votes in the Iowa caucus, NH Primary and South Carolina primary. He's a non starter.

OBAMA HUSSEIN BARACK
She ... thought he should ... not ... have a last name that rhymed with Iraq.

But, "Barack" is his first name.

Nonetheless, we're smellin' what you're steppin' in, Rhet! ;O)
