orichalcum at 10:42pm on 11/06/2008 under politicsFox News describes Michelle Obama as "Obama's baby mama." The last time I checked, "baby mama" referred to the unmarried mother of a man's child to whom he was neither married to nor currently dating.
But hey, much like "ho," surely it refers to any black woman, right?
I guess they're regretting now that they already used "pimp" to refer to the Clintons.
Sigh. 5 more months of this before we can prove that America is better than this sort of smear and rhetoric. And for the record, I'm also fairly irritated about the current left-wing smears of McCain for his poor treatment of his first wife and his adultery. Yes, he behaved badly, but that was almost 30 years ago, and really, should not be relevant to the discussion of whether or not he'd make a good President of the United States in 2008. There are so many reasons to choose one of these two candidates based on their policy differences - do we have to resort to the petty name-calling?
