Clothing And Diners

I'm hearing Joe Scarborough and High Pitch Pat Buchanan complaining about Senator Obama's clothes. And now Chris Matthews is bringing up the diner factor. He's saying that old guys in diners mumble and grumble to each other, "[Obama] doesn't seem to know how to do that 'mumble talk.'"

You know, it's times like these when I don't feel so ashamed for my use of foul language. After all, what's worse? Saying 'fuck' occasionally, or suggesting that elections ought to be based on clothing and mumble talk?

ADDING... The "balance" on MSNBC this morning: Buchanan, far-right racist. Scarborough, Republican. Chris Matthews, conservative Democrat. Andrea Mitchell, married to Clinton supporter Greenspan.
