CNN is Stupid, Big Surprise...

I found this "story" on Barack Obama to be ridiculous. CNN decided to analyze the Illinois Senator's business casual dress (suit jacket sans tie) and, after a brief history on presidential wear (including Kennedy, Nixon, Reagan, G. W. Bush, and Kerry), came to the conclusion that since Obama and Iranian dictator Mahmoud Amadinejad dress similarly, Obama might have difficulty winning the Democratic nomination for the presidency. Oh yeah, and his name "sounds like Osama" and his middle name is "Hussein."

Obviously no one at CNN considered the fact that Hussein is a very common name and that business casual favored by Obama is worn by many men around the world. Not many of those men are running for president, but CNN's story makes as much sense as saying that John McCain doesn't have a shot at the presidency because he has two eyes - just like *GASP* North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il does! Dun DUN DUN!

Classic guilt by association. No wonder the number of people who watch network TV news is falling.
