Silver Tongue for Excellence in Pandering
Who can forget Hillary Clinton‘s chugfest? Or John Edwards’ Liver Girl? Or Sarah Palin‘s wink? Or John McCain‘s entire campaign? It was a fine year for pandering, from the gas-tax holiday to drill-baby-drill to you-betcha populism. Even Barack Obama got in on the act, supporting half of George Bush’s policies before the Republicans could nail him for being a Democrat.
And the winner is…
Barack Obama. It takes a rare stumble like Rick Warren to see what Slick Barry’s doing the rest of the time.
