I imagine there are quicker ways to make a fool of yourself than to make comments about a fellow Democratic senator that sound racially-tinged, on the very day that you officially announce you’re pursuing the presidency. For example, you could do all of that, and then be scheduled to go on The Daily Show later that day.
In other words, you could be Joe Biden.
I really oughta go upstairs and set the DVR.
In other campaign news, the blogosphere rumor mill is buzzing that Wesley Clark will announce his run later this week. A couple of months ago, this news would have gotten me very enthused. Now, I think I’m more inclined to wait and see if he can really get his campaign moving before I jump fully on board. (And yes, I know, if everyone takes that attitude, failure is guaranteed. I’m willing to take a little risk on being a free rider for now.)
