(Sept. 8 broadcast): “Here is the U.S. Senate’s only black member, Barack Obama, on a visit to Kenya. Senator Obama’s Dad came from a village in Kenya, so naturally the Senator has a sentimental attachment to the place. Since Obama Senior actually abandoned the family when Obama Junior was two years old, you’d think the Senator had even more of a sentimental attachment to Kansas, the native place of his mother, who actually went to the trouble of raising him. But hey, this is America, where one black parent entitles you to victim points, even if that parent didn’t stick around very long. You could ask Halle Berry. So… here’s the junior Senator from Illinois, in Kenya, lecturing the Kenyans on the need to crack down on corruption. Let me just say that again: Senator Obama went to Africa bringing a message of clean, honest government with him… all the way from Chicago.”
