Would-Be Repeat Rapist Becomes Martyr For Gun Rights

Ronnie W. Preyer is a douchebag, or specifically, he was a douchebag before he lay down his life for the noble cause of private gun ownership.

The 57-year-old woman shot Ronnie W. Preyer, 47, a registered sex offender, in the chest with a shotgun when he broke through her locked basement door.

The woman told police he was the same man who raped her several days earlier. Officials do not intend to seek charges against her…”I will not be filing any sort of charge against this 57-year-old woman, who was clearly justified under the law in shooting this intruder in her home,” [prosecuting attorney] Swingle said.

A Taste Of Democratic “Realism”

Andrew Sullivan posted  “The Top Ten Reasons Conservatives Should Vote For Obama” which included a return to a “realist” foreign policy.

8. A return to realism and prudence in foreign policy. Obama has consistently cited the foreign policy of George H. W. Bush as his inspiration. McCain’s knee-jerk reaction to the Georgian conflict, his commitment to stay in Iraq indefinitely, and his brinksmanship over Iran’s nuclear ambitions make him a far riskier choice for conservatives. The choice between Obama and McCain is like the choice between George H.W. Bush’s first term and George W.’s.

If you’d like to see what “a return to realism and prudence” might look like, why not listen to Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) when he says, “So let ‘em (the Russians) invade Georgia. It’s right next to them.”

Obama Has Always Been A Douchebag To Unflattering Press

Douchebag Report has seen the coverage that Obama has kicked reporters from three newspapers whose editorial pages have endorsed McCain off of his campaign jet.

Unfortunately, this seems to reflect a habit of Obama’s which goes back to his days as a state senator in Illinois.

In a follow-up report published a couple weeks later, I wrote about these disgruntled black legislators and the central role Senate President Emil Jones played in Obama’s revived political life.

The morning after the story was posted online, I arrived early at my new offices. I hadn’t taken my coat off when the phone rang. It was Obama.

The article began, “It can be painful to hear Ivy League-bred Barack Obama talk jive.”

Obama told me he doesn’t speak jive, that he doesn’t say the words “homeboy” or “peeps.”

It seemed so silly; I thought for sure he was joking. He wasn’t.

He said the black legislators I cited in the story were off-base, and that they couldn’t have gotten the bills passed without him.

I started to speak, and he shouted me down.

He said he liked the other story I wrote.

I asked if there was anything factually inaccurate about the latest story.

He repeated that his former colleagues couldn’t have passed the bills without him.

He asked why I wrote this story, then cut me off when I started to answer.

He said he should have been given a chance to respond.

I told him I had requested an interview through his communications director.

He said I should have called his cell phone.

I reminded him that he had asked me months ago to stop calling his cell phone due to his busier schedule.

He said again that I should have called his cell phone.

Today I no longer have Obama’s cell phone number. I submitted two formal requests to interview Obama for this story through his Web site, but have not heard back. I also e-mailed interview requests to three of his top staffers, but none responded.

Maybe he’ll call the day after this story runs. I’ll get to the office early just in case. And this time I’ll have my recorder ready.

Douchebag Senator Has Finished Bait, Prepares Switch

Having worked up the country’s voters expectations of what a President is capable of in an attempt to buy their votes, Democrat Presidential candidate Barack Obama is now preparing to attempt the Hug ‘n Roll Maneuver, as he plans to spend the afterglow of his Presidential election changing the tone of his campaign.

What started as  “Change We Can Believe In” and became “The Change We Need”, may end up as “Eat This Sh*t Sandwich”.

Barack Obama’s senior advisers have drawn up plans to lower expectations for his presidency if he wins next week’s election, amid concerns that many of his euphoric supporters are harbouring unrealistic hopes of what he can achieve.

The sudden financial crisis and the prospect of a deep and painful recession have increased the urgency inside the Obama team to bring people down to earth, after a campaign in which his soaring rhetoric and promises of “hope” and “change” are now confronted with the reality of a stricken economy.

One senior adviser told The Times that the first few weeks of the transition, immediately after the election, were critical, “so there’s not a vast mood swing from exhilaration and euphoria to despair”.
