Greene Threatens Sarah Palin as Worst Speaker in Politics (Unreal!)

He’s just trying to talk about something, frankly.

Alvin Greene, the surprise Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in South Carolina, has a way with words. It’s the way, though, of Sarah Palin and George W. Bush—a tortured relationship with the English language that prevents him from making his points, and that says to voters he may not be up to the job.

Facing calls from fellow Democrats to drop out of the race—and even charges that he is a Republican patsy—Greene doesn’t help his cause with a front-page story in today’s Washington Post, where his verbal difficulties are on abundant display. From the candidate’s home in Manning, S.C., reporter Manuel Roig-Franzia lets Greene’s style speak for itself:

“I’m the Democratic Party nominee. The people have spoken. The people of South Carolina have spoken. The people of South Carolina have spoken. We have to be pro–South Carolina. The people of South Carolina have spoken. We have to be pro–South Carolina.”

Repetition seems to be the most obvious of Greene’s tics. How many campaign fliers did he print? “Hundreds. Maybe thousands. Hundreds. Maybe a hundred. I don’t know exactly.” Did he show pornography to a university student, and ask to go up to her room? “I’m on the not-guilty side of things. I have to be. I mean, I mean, I mean. I have no comment, I mean.”

Greene doesn’t improve once he begins to speak at length. On the subject of those obscenity charges: “Folks should be given a chance to correct themselves. Somebody could just be trying to get somebody in trouble. You see, somebody, you know—you just can’t work around somebody. It’s hard. I’m just trying to talk about something, frankly. I’m just trying to talk from my perspective.”(continued)

The Democrats and jourbalists (am I being redundant?) always show their racism, sooner or later. Their misogyny as well. If the man won the most votes, isn't he the rightful nominee, or did I miss something?

He’s too black for the MSM.

[2ndDivisionVet]

He's a military veteran that didn't turn on the troops like Kerry, didn't attend an Ivy League college and isn't as slick as the Azzkicker, so he's got to go! Maybe they can put him at the SEC with the other porn-mongers. Paging Rahm Emanuel!!

[SoldierDad]

I listened to him speak on Chrissy Matthew’s Softball program on PMSNBC. Sarah Palin this guy ain’t.

[alecqss]

So far nothing threatens Newsweek as the worst news magazine.

[VeniVidiVici]

I love these nancy-boys that keep dogging Sarah Palin. The only reason they hate her is that she has bigger balls than they do.

[The Wizard]

every attack bumps her up a notch....

[Doogle]

he’s not capable of doublespeak...he sorta leads you down a culdasac with the expectations of going nowhere....
makes Norm Cosby a Nobel Laureate.

The cognitive dissonance these a**holes create when they say Sarah Palin is a) stupid, b) racist, and c) a poor speaker is and will continue to diminish what little credibility (if any) they have left. Ever since she escaped the Alaska law suit trap they tried to set for her she has shown fine political instincts and an ability to communicate that is second to none.

Newsweek, on the other hand,

I see he upgraded to a green shirt.

[rintense]

Wow another Palin hit by Newsweek. They seem to have McGinnis Syndrome.

And where's the NAACP saying these remarks are racist?

And where’s the NAACP saying these remarks are racist?

NAACP is still ‘tied up’ with the Hallmark Greeting card. s/s

If they give Greene a teleprompter no telling how far he may go in politics....

[Oceander]

Make that a "Greene" shirt!

He's got some other "siblings," too:



And, for the technorati, a "shirt of many colors":

The left...their version of lemonade from lemons!!!
