Reminder: Ruben NAVARRETTE is a wingnut-tool/ p.o.s.

[UTUSN]

Most here should already be familiar with this a-hole. Start with the short-cut: A minority member who is a wingnut. Go on from there, another one of those Affirmative Action alums whose "Liberal" professors turn them into wingnut tools---"Don't be PREDICTABLE. It's a CLICHE for a minority to be a Lib, so GO THE OTHER WAY, or at least, be a 'cafeteria' type, picking and choosing from whatever party!1" So NAVARRETTE dropped out of his Harvard AA slot, slunk back to his hometown where he was skunked by the homeboys, then somehow went back to Harvard and squeaked through, then cashed in by writing a poor-mouthing thingy about how CRUEL "White Liberal males" were to him, then parlaying that into being a wingnut tool. And of course our CRACK media eats up a "non-traditional minority viewpoint" so they syndicate him and all.

So his track record as a columnist is to perpetually GIVE ADVICE TO DEMS, like Dems should listen to a WINGNUT TOOL!1 Back in the '90s, when Shrub had his pact going with Texas Southern Conservative Dems (call them A-holes), and the Texas Dem party was dead, so dead that many elections went uncontested, NAVARRETTE was lecturing Dems that they OWED it to one Victor MORALES (a high school teacher in a weekend battered pick-up truck) to give him another nomination, just when the Dems were beginning to have a chance again with African American Ron KIRK, because Victor had been carrying the Dem standard in the wilderness years. When KIRK won the nomination, Victor refused to endorse him, and in fact, went on to endorse the Rethug candidate. What else, when Gonzo GONZALES was nominated for Torture-Mouthpiece by Shrub, NAVARRETTE proclaimed that he should be confirmed without Senate committee advice JUST BECAUSE he is a Hispanic (in name only), and that, besides, NAVARRETTE would be watching him like O.J. was searching for the real killer, and would CONDEMN him mightily if he screwed up. HaHAH, not a peep from NAVARRETTE ever since.

But his bottom line is always that the Dems, specifically White Liberal males, have done nothing for minorities except to keep them enslaved, and that Shrub appointed all those 3 or 4 minorities to HIGH posts, much more than CLINTON ever did. He neglects to mention that Dem PROGRAMS extend benefits to MILLIONS instead of jobs to THREE OR FOUR.



So here he begins his take on OBAMA:

Obama sells out to politics

Say it ain't so.

Barack Obama has worked hard over the last 18 months to convince Americans that he is the untraditional politician – immune to special interests, loyal to his faith, close to the people, guided by principle. Part of the pitch was that, as a regular churchgoer, he could tap into values voters and show that – as he said in his speech at the 2004 Democratic convention – those in the blue states also “worship an awesome God.”

And now Obama goes and does something foolish that shows he is a traditional politician after all and may suggest that his religious convictions are not all that firm: He quits Trinity United Church of Christ, the Chicago sanctuary he attended for two decades, where he was married and where his children were baptized. Not because he was uncomfortable sitting in the pews all those years but because other people were uncomfortable that he sat in the pews all those years. ....

There is also the politics of all this. John McCain is fond of calling Obama naive. That's far off the mark. The way I see it, Obama is wrong on a host of issues – from Iraq to No Child Left Behind to NAFTA – but it should now be clear that he has an intuitive understanding of the rough and tumble of politics and what is necessary to win the presidency. The senator from Illinois has demonstrated that he is quick on his feet, and able to adjust to changing circumstances. He possesses a sleight of hand reminiscent of Bill Clinton's abracadabra style of politics. From the nomination of Lani Guinier to Clinton's promise to allow gays to serve openly in the military, it was always the same story with the master politician: “Now you see it, now you don't.” ....
