It has been a great week for dumbass, bonehead statements by political insiders.  First, Charlie Black makes his now infamous terror attack comment and now the permanent presidential candidate Ralph Nader has joined into the fray.

Speaking with Colorado’s Rocky Mountain News, Nader accused Obama of attempting to “talk white” and appealing to “white guilt” in his quest to win the White House.

“There’s only one thing different about Barack Obama when it comes to being a Democratic presidential candidate. He’s half African-American,” Nader told the paper in comments published Tuesday.

“Whether that will make any difference, I don’t know. I haven’t heard him have a strong crackdown on economic exploitation in the ghettos. Payday loans, predatory lending, asbestos, lead. What’s keeping him from doing that? Is it because he wants to talk white? He doesn’t want to appear like Jesse Jackson? We’ll see all that play out in the next few months and if he gets elected afterwards,” Nader added.

Please, that is just mental masturbation or as some pundit called it “verbal vomit”.  Since his present campaign has about as much steam as snail in a hurry, he is looking to press.  Nader has just shot himself in the foot.  While he, Nader, does have some planks in his independent platform that could have made him a bit more appealing to voters, crap like this will help drive the final nail in the coffin that is his campaign.

I can say that I agree that Obama has moved to the conservative side of the party since he became the presumptive nominee, but that is nothing unusual for a politician.  Sour grapes is not becoming.  Did not look good on Clinton; does not look good on Nader.
