Black Man Supports Hillary Clinton

Hey, did you know that both Barack Obama and Michael Nutter are black? Yes, I know, now that racism no longer exists it’s hard to remember who’s black and who’s white nowadays, but both the frontrunner for the presidential election and the current mayor of Philadelphia have a high melanin count.

And, what do you know, Nutter is supporting Hillary Clinton, who is not only not male but is white!

Vivian McCabe, a grandmother, neighborhood block captain and supporter of both Mr. Nutter and Mr. Obama, expressed the frustration in a sidewalk interview the other day. “I was shocked,” she said, referring to Mr. Nutter’s endorsement of Mrs. Clinton. “Not because he’s black, but — I was just looking at him to…” She paused. “What words should I use?” she said. She could not come up with any.

How do we describe why people are surprised at the black mayor supporting a white candidate without mentioning race? Damn, I don’t think we can! And when will Bob Brady support Hillary Clinton (his fellow white person) like he’s supposed to!

Joe Sestak Has A Freudian Slip

Local congressman Joe Sestak (Out Of Nowhere!) was on MSNBC with Andrea Mitchell, when she asked if Hillary Clinton’s continued pursuit of the Democratic nomination was bad for the party in the general election.

After miming for a moment, Sestak said: “As Sen. Clinton said, she recognizes this is not about the party, Andrea. This is about the nation. If Sen. Obama is truly the man he says he is, I believe [he is], and if he is not the presidential candidate at the convention, he’ll turn to his followers and say, ‘Support her.’ And I have no question that Sen. Clinton will turn to her followers and say, ‘Support me…. er, him.’” Video after the jump.
