Sydney Brillo Duodenum has found it difficult to keep track of all the scandalous figures surrounding Senator Obama, like some Christmas music box in which little skaters twirl and spin and drive elliptical orbits around a small adorable child, with a tiny Joker smile (painted by some slave in China), glued forever in place, in a perpetual position of kerplop onto the ice. These figures never pass out of view, do they? The unrependent educational visionary Ayers (who did some easily forgotten silly things when he young); the good Rev. Jeremiah Wright, so long misunderstood, hiding his true self for 20 long years from his flock; the FanFred Fraternity; the billionairess Pritzker; the billionaire Soros; the billionairess Oprah Winfrey; and the detestable Scarlett Johansson whose voicebox should be removed after her butchering of Tom Waitts style and music. They never sit down, do they? A strange collection in any curio cabinet.

When Sydney Brillo Duodenum pulls this little novelty from the seasonal box and watches the scene unfold, he often wonders: did they push the little boy to the ice or did he fall on his own?

Update: Charles Krauthammer on Obamassociations.

"[Obama's associations] tell us two important things about Obama. First, his cynicism and ruthlessness. . .Second, and even more disturbing than the cynicism, is the window these associations give on Obama's core beliefs. . .For many years he swam easily and without protest in that fetid pond. . .Obama is a man of first-class intellect and first-class temperament. But his character remains highly suspect. There is a difference between temperament and character. Equanimity is a virtue. Tolerance of the obscene is not."
