"He does not want to be president. He did not even want to be governor. He wants to gab; he wants to get paid by the word; he wants his own microphone and camera; he wants an adapted Falwell-Robertson kind of appeal; he wants to put out pamphlets and call them books; he wants stuff."

"But I am continually reminded and dismayed by the complete double standard we have in this country in how we refer to the President of the United States. When Bush was POTUS, half the country lost their nut over the Dixie Chicks simply pointing out that they didn't like being from the same state, prompting CD bonfires, crushings, and death threats (and frankly, a really fantastic follow up album). But Obama can endure overt and veiled racism, questions about his parentage, his education, his qualifications, his alleged socialism/Marxism/communism/fascism, his honesty (and in the middle of his State of the Union address no less) and this is perfectly healthy debate and dissent. Because, you know, IOKIYAR."
