SubscribeIs The New York Post’s Graphic ‘Suggestive’?
From the inimitable New York Post:
‘TIE’ ANXIETY FOR HILLARY
By GINGER ADAMS OTIS
March 2, 2008 — The race between Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama in the key Tuesday primaries in Ohio and Texas has tightened dramatically in the last few days.
Clinton is dead even with Obama in Ohio, according to a new Reuters/C-SPAN poll out yesterday. The poll shows both candidates with 45 percent of the vote.
And she trails Obama in Texas by just two percentage points now - 43 to 45. With a 4-point margin of error, the two are statistically tied there. She gained a percentage point from the same poll taken four days ago, and Obama lost three points.
Both states are considered must-wins for Clinton, who has lost 11 straight contests to Obama…
Less than two weeks ago, Clinton had a 10-point lead in Ohio. Now, less than one-tenth of a percentage point separates her from Obama, according to the poll.
In Texas, Clinton held nearly a 20-point lead in January, but the latest polls have the two candidates battling for every vote.
Clinton’s hopes in Texas rest mainly on the Hispanic vote, but according to recent polls, Obama has been gaining on her among Latinos.
A Feb. 24 poll from Texas A&M University showed 62 percent of Hispanics backing Clinton, compared to 22 percent for Obama.
But yesterday’s poll found that Clinton’s support among that demographic had dropped to 55 percent, while Obama’s rose to 33 percent.
Clinton admitted that the upcoming primaries are critical.
“We have to win on Tuesday. That’s not a surprise to you,” she said at a San Antonio fund-raiser breakfast that netted her $200,000. “And we are going to win.”
Clinton flew to Ohio last night to kick off an “88 counties in 88 hours” bus marathon. Monday night, she’ll appear on “The Daily Show” with Jon Stewart.
Of course it is highly entertaining to watch Mrs. Clinton flailing about in what hopefully will prove to be the death throes of the Clinton family as a political force.
But the other reason I posted this article was to call attention to the graphic the NY Post employed.
Is it just me, or is it somewhat shall we say “suggestive”?
Maybe I’m am just falling prey to the seemingly endless barrage of charges of racism and sexism from both camps, but the Post’s illustration seems to smack of both.

I have to say, I’ve enjoyed watching the Liberals Mud Wrestle each other and watch the most liberal scamper to Hussein’s side tossing Hillary under the bus. Then, the sobering thought shocks me awake….Hussein Obama may actually be the next US President. Truly a frightening thought….

As Gene Autry sang after returning from WWII, “They’re back in the Saddle Again.”
One of them is a gay ranchero or ranchera?
Or maybe they are on their way to watch “Brock Back Mounting.”
OK, now I got nothing.

U NO HOO;
Barack Back Mounting?

No, (David) Brock Back Mounting
Sorry, can’t stand temptation.

My apologies to those who don’t boast or brag.
I wish the right to privacy meant that we who don’t want to know don’t know.
I’m not asking, don’t tell me.

Sort of…..”Don’t tell, and I won’t ask?

What the hell does the NYT know about rodeo? Zip.
Likewise, what the hell does the NYT know about Texas? Zip.
Frankly, I wish those two leftist, big-city f***tards WOULD try to ride a bronc…even a hint of a crow-hop would introduce them to the ground.
If I didn’t think it would make him vomit all over the lot, I have a fairly rank gelding I’d give them a crack at…
(Yes, that NY Slimes graphic revolts me.)

It’s been a long while since I’ve ridden–and then it was bulls, not bronc–but if I were one of the riders whose pictures were used for that, I’d be calling a lawyer.

Facial expressions, say it all.
I’ve been gone quite awhile but happy to be back.

Close enough. I car pooled with a guy before it was gay, just queer as he put it. Someone else told me BEFORE we rode to work together. So, I DON’T CARE.
Please, can we talk about something important such as BORDERS, LANGUAGE, CULTURE, you know, speak English, TV we can just sit and watch and not have to explain to children unless they need to know for their 3Rs homework, etc.?
By the way, my first suggestive thought, horse manure now instead of bull manure? Does it matter?

“Facial expressions, say it all.”
Yeah, Hillary seems to like the saddle horn.

It must say something about me that it took me a while to see the suggestiveness.
But it is rather fun to watch her sink. She was so damn sure of herself.

This comedy is brought to you by the movie Brokeback Nomination. Coming to voting booths near you.

U NO HOO;….”I DON’T CARE….”
Pretty much my feelings, also. I do wish they wouldn’t keep rubbing it in my face though. The most vocal aren’t content with equality, however. Priveleged status is more to their liking. Trust me, I deal with some who, given the authority to rule by fiat, would make themselves “more equal” than you and me. They aren’t bashful about gleefully telling me that either.

The late and great “Bear” Bryant, legendary Alabama football coach, once said that a TIE was the equivalant of kissing your sister. So if Hillary Ties OHIO and TEXAS will she have kissed her “Brother” Barack?! This is just too delicious!

How does that song go???
The Old Grey mare ain’t what she used to be…… lol
March 3rd, 2008 at 6:38 pm
Leave it to SG to dispell the theory that “even the most marginal ass looks good in chaps.”
Excuse, me I have to jab something in my eye now.
March 3rd, 2008 at 8:16 pm
Kissing one’s sister, a good thing to do, but one gets nothing from it.
“The Old Grey mare”
Yeah, that’s what it suggests, Hillary obviously, and black and white make gray. Or grey, to be multicultural.

This just stinks in so many ways . Kind of like a three cent novel on Kit Carson or what really happened at the OK Corral by means of never being there . The slimes wishes to put these two horse’s arse’s on a buck’in horse , fine . They got the candidate’s head on the wrong end . Not on top of , but should be inside of . Fly over country made fun of again for profit , and votes . How is the slimes going to insult Ohio voters ? Both democrats riding empty hardhats ?
