Judgement in: Barack HUSSEIN Obama now OK: Liberal Bible NYT

Oh phew.  Finally.  The Liberal Gods have spoken.  We’ve been vindicated.  Redeemed.  And we’re in the clear.  I was going to stop using Barack Hussein Obama’s middle name because the New York Times thought it was rude and naughty and Iraqi.

The first words from Adam Nagourney’s August 28 lead story: “Barack Hussein Obama, a freshman senator who defeated the first family of Democratic Party politics with a call for a fundamentally new course in politics, was nominated by his party on Wednesday to be the 44th President of the United States.”
