All too predictable at this point by the right. Don't engage in

discussion of ideas; instead, make fun of the guy's name.

"On the December 11 edition of The Situation Room, CNN senior

political analyst Jeff Greenfield compared the similarity of Obama's

"business casual" clothing to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's

"jacket-and-no-tie look." Greenfield concluded the segment by saying:

"Now, it is one thing to have a last name that sounds like Osama and

a middle name, Hussein, that is probably less than helpful. But an

outfit that reminds people of a charter member of the axis of evil,

why, this could leave his presidential hopes hanging by a thread." He

later explained on the CNN website that he was making "a joke."

Small minds at work.
