Clinton vs. Obama

The old best way to decide who becomes the Democrat nominee?  Debates, primaries and caucuses with a number of assigned regular delegates and party-leader superdelegates.

The new best way to decide who becomes the Democrat nominee?  Fucking knife fight.

Meet Jose Antonio Ortiz.

The Pennsylvania man allegedly stabbed his brother-in-law in the stomach after the pair quarreled about their respective support of Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

I would have loved to have heard that argument from the beginning.  I’m guessing it was heavy on policy details.

According to cops, Ortiz, 28, stabbed Sean Shurelds last Thursday night in the kitchen of an Upper Providence Township home.  According to the criminal complaint, the 41-year-old Shurelds, an Obama supporter, told Ortiz that the Illinois senator was “trashing” Clinton (apparently in regard to recent primary and caucus results).

Ortiz, a Clinton supporter, replied that “Obama was not a realist.”  While not exactly fighting words, the verbal political tiff led to some mutual choking and punching.  And, allegedly, a stabbing in the abdomen.  Ortiz was charged with a felony aggravated assault count and two misdemeanors and jailed in lieu of $20,000 bail.

In a related story, Clinton has changed her $5,000 ”Baby Bond” proposal to $20,000 “Aggravated Assault Bond” proposal. 

Shurelds was flown to Hahnemann University Hospital, where he was admitted in critical condition.

Is anyone surprised that it was the Clinton supporter that took the shiv to the Obama supporter?  If so you’re a moron.

    I’d hit it, but someone got to him first.

  3. Comment by wiserbud on February 25, 2008 9:45 pm

    Here’s how I imagine it happened:

    Sean Shurelds: I disagree wholeheartedly with Senator Clinton’s plan for Healthcare.

    Jose Antonio Ortiz: Be that as it may, but you must agree that Senator Obama is not a realist.

    SS: I respectfully beg to differ.

    JAO: Oh, It’s ON, BITCH!!!!

    We have to CHANGE this cycle of violence so that ALL people have the opportunity to CHANGE and support ME — you’re agent of CHANGE. I HOPE I have your support for CHANGE. If not, I’ll CUT you bitch.

    Hahaha!

    “At the hospital, Shurelds was quoted as saying, “Obama gives me hope that I will survive getting knifed. Did Bush ever give knifing victims hope? No way, man.”

    Ok I don’t know what a pot of honey means. Is that a woman’s you know what?

    Ear?

  10. Comment by pajama momma on February 26, 2008 9:04 am

    Ear?

    Well that would certainly make sense. Ears have wax and honey comes from hives that have bees wax. I totally get it.

    He means “poo(h)n” as in poon-tang.

    Ha! Poon! Good one! That N needs to be replaced with a packet of Tang.

    Democrats tend to be some of the most intolerant and inflexible polticial people out there, I have observed.

    Bush never gave hope to knifed people because, you know, no one was ever knifed because of him. Shrapnel to the face for Cheney, that’s another matter.

  14. Comment by Rosetta on February 26, 2008 12:34 pm

    Hahahaha. Muslihoon, I made up the quote above about Obama giving the stabbing victim hope while Bush didn’t.

    I made it up because I can see the typical Obama supporter saying something as asinine as that. I guess you can too.

  15. Comment by pajama momma on February 26, 2008 12:35 pm

    No Bush didn’t knife people because he was too busy blowing up levees to kill everyone in New Orleans. duh

    Heh, that’s not it, but if you are looking for the correct terminology — honey pot.

    Why are there so many made up names for our body parts?
    I mean is vajayjay or pooter really better than the word vagina?

  20. Comment by PattyAnn on February 26, 2008 1:41 pm

    I always have to shake my head when someone says so-and-so was flashing their vagina. My 7YO granddaughter even knows the difference between vagina and vulva. Just sayin’.

    Yes.

    My 7YO granddaughter even knows the difference between vagina and vulva.

    I just learned that like a year ago. What the hell?

    You’ve got to switch doctors.

  23. Comment by Rosetta on February 26, 2008 2:20 pm

    Or strippers.

  24. Comment by Will on February 26, 2008 3:35 pm

    Poonani is a good euphemism too.

  25. Comment by Muslihoon on February 26, 2008 3:56 pm

    That word reminds me of Toonami. And not necessarily the other way around.

    Damn you, rosetta. I can’t view a Shockwave video on this laptop at KraftFoods unless I “Shockwave Player has not yet been ported to run natively on the new Intel-based Macintosh computers and currently only runs in Rosetta emulation mode.”

    I absolutely refuse to emulate rosetta. Eeeewwwww!

  30. Comment by Rosetta on February 26, 2008 4:53 pm

    I must have created that emulation mode when I was drunk because I don’t know what that is.

    And why are you watching porn at KraftFoods?

    We all agreed to not show up one or two days a month to pretend like we have lives. Some of us like to pretend more than others.

    Wiserbud should get an academy award.

    mesa, ice-box pie is a cream pie that is not baked, it’s *assembled* and kept and served cold.
    Here’s the one I’m making http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/recipes/recipedetail.htm?recipe_id=108697&e=email

    Does anyone know why they call them “Democrazies”

  37. Comment by Rosetta on February 26, 2008 8:15 pm

    Because they all ride this?

    PB,

    My momma used to make lemon ice-box cookies when I was little. They were good. I bet the ice-box pie is good too.

    Are you making it for a special occasion or because you’re good like that?

  39. Comment by PattyAnn on February 26, 2008 8:56 pm

    My man mentioned he wanted a cream pie.
    I’m good like that.

  40. Comment by Rosetta on February 26, 2008 8:57 pm
