Open mouth, insert foot:

The most hilarious point came when Obama tried to claim credit for bipartisanship on the John Roberts confirmation vote — not because he supported Roberts. He voted against Roberts. However, Obama wanted credit for defending the few Democrats who did support Roberts on Daily Kos, and taking the venom of Kos’ readership for his defense. That’s bipartisanship — standing up to the Kos Kiddies? If that amounts to an act of courage for Obama, it tells you how bipartisan he will be prepared to be as President.

Yup, you read that correctly. If this guy is the Dems’ nominee, you can bet your bottom dollar that this will be in at least a couple of McCain ads.

You can read the entire transcript of Obama’s appearance on Fox News here. You can read various reactions to it here (including, I might add, the usual libtards gnashing their teeth about his breaking the so-called boycott of the cable channel).

    I need to buy more popcorn! How can I ever eat all the popcorn that this election cycle needs? Never has there ever been such a show!
    What does worry me is that we might get the leadership that we Americans ultimately vote for and thus deserve.
