Hillary: "blacker" 

But the great problem for Obama is that today's black identity is grounded in challenging. This is the circumstance that makes him a bound man. If he tries to win the black vote by taking on a posture of challenging, he risks losing the vote of whites who like him precisely because he does not challenge. And if his natural bargaining wins white votes, he risks losing black votes to Hillary Clinton. Why? Because Hillary Clinton always identifies with black challengers like Al Sharpton. This makes her "blacker" than Barack Obama. -- Shelby Steele Time Magazine


Whatever you say*, Shelby.

* The "say" link to the G-Bitch Spot post on the Iowa results was down when I checked it. The post reads:


"While the crowd chanted, 'HILL-A-RY!,' I chanted 'Bitch, you lost! Bitch, you lost! Bitch, you lost!' Ha-ha-ha-ha!!!
"

Update: G-bitch's site was hacked and Loki has offered refuge. Good man!

Flashback: Hillary identifies with that great "challenger" Colin Powell.

Am I the only one who picked up on a double meaning of the phrase "bound man"?

FYI: While things get sorted out over at her site I gave Gbitch posting access at HumidCity.com

The city should not be deprived (depraved?) of her perspective.

Hey, I hate to stray off the subject matter but the fact we are talking about a Clinton, I suppose I am not drifting to far off the track but I have a question.

Exactly what is g bitch preparing to do in that photo next to her comment?
