Will 'feditis' spread to Obama and Daley?
Chicago Tribune ^ | 12-14-08 | John Kass

Posted on 12/13/2008 3:18:00 PM PST by STARWISE

Why are Chicago machine Democrats lining up against Gov. Rod "Dead Meat" Blagojevich like a bunch of thin-lipped Victorian physicians in some old movie set in an musty insane asylum?

Since Tuesday, they've been swinging their silver hammers at his cranium with righteous gusto. They're eager to give him a political lobotomy.

Why? That's easy.

Gov. Dead Meat is infected, not with some mental disorder, but with something far worse. He's got a raging case of feditis. They don't know if it's the isolated feditis or the creeping kind, threatening not only the locals but the reform image of their guy about to assume the White House.

I don’t care how many pictures I see of Obama. There is something not quite right in the eyes. A studied look of feigned sincerity, if you will.

Kass is a good, old-fashioned newspaper writer. If more journalists had his guts, news instincts and writing skills, the newspaper business would be in better shape than it’s in right now.

And another thing: if it turns out this story has legs and ties to the Obama White House, then I say that makes the Chicago Tribune the most important newspaper in the country right now. Not the NY Times. Not the LA Times. Not the Washington Post. Because only the Trib really understands how dirty politics can be in ChiTown.

Likely they are saying Blagojevich is crazy because they expect him to start saying out loud what everyone knows soto voce: obama is an illegal alien.

"The most important quality in a politician is sincerity: if you can fake that, you've got it made."

There's probably a great deal of truth in that, but it's nearly impossible to do. There's always something in the eyes that reveals the lie.

Slick Willie was one of the best, but even he couldn't really convince us that he was sincere, or truthful. It's why we called him "Slick".

Obama isn't even in Slick's league. Not even close. Even with millions of people worshiping him like a god, he still came off phony and plastic.

I wouldn't go that far, but I do believe he's an arrogant, lying punk of a con artist, who's gotten in way over his head, and will eventually fold like the cardboard cutout he is.

I don’t care how many pictures I see of Obama. There is something not quite right in the eyes. A studied look of feigned sincerity, if you will. A look that says, “I don’t want to be here.” Something not genuine. I saw it all throughout the campaign, and it continues now.

There’s just something fake in his demeanor, which tells me he’s a fraud from the inside, to the outside, and is hiding things.

During the presidential debates, some people criticized John McCain for not making eye contact with Obama. This was self-defense, not rudeness, on McCain's part. I think McCain was consciously trying to avoid those creepy, hollow, empty eyes. In another era, McCain would have brought a mirror and a sword to the debates, if you catch my drift.

Obama is fake through and through. He is a rootless, haunted individual. I came away with that feeling after having read the first section of his "autobiography" Dreams from My Father. I thought the book would have been more appropriately titled, I Don't Know Who I Am, and I Hate White People.

If crazy hair and strange utterances—even frightening expressions in public—are the criteria for a politician who's been "disabled," I wonder why the Illinois Democrats didn't apply their standards to another guy.

Mayor Richard Daley.

Sometimes he frightens people .... like when he's channeling his inner Mayor Chucky.


Oh man, John, you're gonna give 'Da Mare' a case of Sunday morning indigestion.
