Quote of the day
Spike Lee: "The Clintons, man, they would lie on a stack of Bibles. Snipers? That’s not misspeaking; that’s some pure bulls***. I voted for Clinton twice, but that’s over with."
He went on to refer to the former president as "Massuh Clinton" -- as in, a slave master -- and to mock "old black politicians" for obsequious loyalty to him. Cue someone from Hillary's campaign calling on Obama to "personally repudiate" those remarks in 5... 4... 3...
Lee calling Clinton a liar. Irony, thy name is Spike.

"Snipers? That’s not misspeaking; that’s some pure bulls***"
Whatever you think of Spike Lee, that statement is 100% accurate.

new polls today show more movement toward obama. i still dont think he'll win PA, but its a feasible possibility now. itd be great if he could win it and finally close this out.

Braylon, I know Lee can be controversialy and over the top, but i've never heard of him as being a compulsive liar or anything. Do you have any examples.

Heh - true statement. We'll see how long Clinton's "first black President" legacy lasts after this primary season.
OTOH, the whole "F--- recession, we're in a depression - but I'm doing just fine" riff is a bit much.
