The activist old media is hitting an all time low. Quite a challenge for them.
The same media that didn’t give a damn what Barack Obama did during the first 46 years of his life when he was running for president (except that he was organizing communities) is now in a full scale sprint to find out what Republican candidates did as kids.
Christine O’Donnell is running in Delaware against a guy, Chris Coons, who once wrote an article for his college newspaper about becoming a bearded Marxist (his words, not mine), but the media wants to know what she did in high school.
So, what did you do in high school? Let’s put it out there as you run for major office in America.
In the 70’s, pot smoking and “streaking” was the thing to do, perhaps you gave those trends a thought. I had friends who used to sneak into L.A. Dodger games without paying. I of course would never do any of these things but I heard that some of my friends did things like this (who knows, I may run for office someday.)
I wonder what Barack Obama did during high school or college, anybody know? For the first time in the modern age of information we know very little about what the President of the United States of America did in his younger years. Hundreds of media swarmed tiny Wasilla, Alaska to find out anything and everything they could about VP candidate Sarah Palin during the campaign, but the same media had a difficult time getting to Honolulu, the Columbia University campus, Harvard Yard, or the south side of Chicago to ask a question or two about the Cold Hearted Social Engineer who now thinks he’s King of the Free World.
Here in Nevada the media seems to care more about what Sharron Angle says about reforming social security than figuring out how Harry Reid’s policies for the past 24 years could lead to its destruction.
Some of this is expected when Republicans run for office, but delving into high school antics hits an all time low.
While in high school our football team went 0-8-1 one year. As a joke we/they did a gag on the senior mall where we/they dressed as girls and there may have been some comments that would be considered homophobic today. To any future candidates that I may run against I had no role in the planning or scripting of this event or in the production thereof. There may be photos.
Hell—who am I kidding? I’m finished. No shot at a political career now—unless I want to run for President as a Democrat.
