Late last night I was relaxing in front of my LCD monitor wearing my protective tin foil hat, when I received a telepathic message from Yaroh, my spirit guide, who lives at a secret base hidden in the seventh ring of Saturn. Yaroh frequently imparts to me special knowledge know only to the high priests of Daho'n. Last night I was informed that the global banking crisis is in reality an effort by the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy to distract America's attention from this video of Sarah Palin being blessed by her pastor, the radical Christian cleric Bishop Thomas Muthee, as she was about to run for governor of Alaska:

Over the course of the presidential campaign the Republicans and their traditional media enablers have been trotting out various code words to describe Barack Obama. Most of them have been recycled from past campaigns, like flip-flopper or elitist. But in the case of Barack Obama, a new and particularly interesting one has appeared -- exotic.

That's right, Barack Obama is exotic. To most of us the use of that term seems a little incongruous, and it doesn't come across as one of the Republican Smear Machine's better efforts.

That's because we're not hearing the Republican dog whistle. And not just any dog whistle, this one is a hard core racist dog whistle of the vilest kind that dates back all the way to the antebellum south.

After countless failed attempts to define Barack Obama in some kind -- any kind -- of negative light, the McCain campaign has come up with a new one. After Obama's triumphant "grand tour" of the middle and his obvious popluarity in Europe, McCain's handlers have decided that Obama is acting inappropriately presidential. We wouldn't what a president candidate to act presidential, would we?

So the McCain campaign has not very subtly decided to push this meme by calling Obama presumptuous. McCain's campaign is, of course, being aided and abetted by the always cooperative (so called liberal) media. This time the "liberal" Washing Post columnist Dana Milbank is leading the charge. Here's the first paragraph of his July 30 column:

Barack Obama has long been his party's presumptive nominee. Now he's becoming its presumptuous nominee.

That's a good one, Dana. Really clever.

And I'm not the only one who thinks so.
