Waller: Obama is a 'Featherweight'

That’s what “High Noon” second banana Frank “Buddy” Waller III called Barack Obama on today’s show on WVOX.
If you missed the entertainment, you can hear it on the blog archive. Waller’s intemperate comment was made during a lively one-hour discussion about the latest round of Democratic primaries which saw Hillary Clinton best Obama in three out of four states.
I questioned Hillary’s claim that she is the best candidate to be commander-in-chief. And then for laughs I did a riff on her infamous “3 AM” commercial in which she stars as the guardian of America’s sleeping children. The only call Hillary has ever gotten at 3, I suggested, was from her husband looking for his pants at a Yonkers motel.
Buddy, who is a shameless Hillary lover, argued that her credentials for the job of U.S. maximum leader are beyond question. He pointed to her service on the Senate Armed Forces Committee as proof. Yes, he was serious.
Is it time to get a new sidekick?
UPDATE: Here’s the podcast. Sorry for the delay.

No, why get a new sidekick? It's good when you don't agree on everything. Do you really want a Robin Quivers, who just laughs at all your jokes, and agrees with everything you say?
The Democratic race has become highly entertaining, so much so that I hope it goes all the way to the convention, and gets really down and dirty there.
Yesterday, Hillary's communications director suggested that Obama is imitating Ken Starr, and one of Obama's deputies called Hillary Clinton a 'monster.' It's great entertainment.
You and your sidekick should act as proxies for the ugliness of the campaign, and entertain your listeners…:)
