If you were ever unsure just who's pulling the Obama puppet strings, this should lay all doubt to rest...

Moving On
Senior Senate staffer David Wade is finally cutting the apron strings. Wade is leaving the office of Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), the only politician for whom the 32-year-old aide has worked in his 11-year career on Capitol Hill, to become spokesman for Sen. Barack Obama's running mate (whoever that may be).
Today is scheduled to be Wade's last day in Kerry's office before he jets off to Chicago to settle in with the Obama campaign.
As our colleague Chris Cillizza reported on his blog, The Fix, this week, the Obama camp already has begun hiring staff members for the eventual veep nominee, signaling he's very close to choosing his No. 2. Wade was hired by Patti Solis Doyle, former campaign manager for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential bid who is now overseeing Obama's vice presidential effort.
"I think Crash Davis put it best: I'm just happy to be here and hope I can help the ball club," Wade told us, referring to the lead character in "Bull Durham," his favorite movie. "Senator Kerry's been like a father to me, and I'm grateful he urged me to do this."
Washington Post - cont'd |
That the Kerry/Kennedy cabal can, at will, insert a Kerry toady like the astonishingly juvenile Wade ( see Taranto ) into such a high profile position as Obama's VP "mouthpiece" should tell you all you need to know, and the possibility that this might be (I doubt it...but MIGHT be) telegraphing an Obama/Kerry ticket can't be discounted.

A resurrection will be needed, in that event.

| That's excellent TEWS...but here's something scary. Show that to any random Obama supporter under 30 and I think there's a better than even chance they won't "get it". That sea of wide-eyed, mesmerized faces behind him has been rolled out of an educational institution that reveres Obama's brand of socialism..and you can bet that the horror the hammer and sickle represents is no longer a part of any educational institution's syllabus. |
