What about John Edwards? Surely, Ed must've required him to be highly affiliated, right? (of course behind the scenes)...

Mel Watt? Did he take any photos of the Obama birthplace on his recent trip to Kenya? I hear they are building a birthplace museum...Rush Limbaugh might pay for it!

Reminds me of this exchange from that important policy document, the Marx Brother's "Duck Soup:"

[In court, the spy CHICOLINI is on the stand]:

PROSECUTOR
CHICOLINI, GIVE ME A NUMBER FROM ONE TO TEN.

CHICOLINI
ELEVEN.

NOW I ASK YOU ONE.
WHAT IS IT HAS A TRUNK, BUT NO KEY,
WEIGHS 4,000 POUNDS AND LIVES IN A CIRCUS ?

PROSECUTOR
THAT'S IRRELEVANT.

CHICOLINI
"IRRELEPHANT?" HEY, THAT'S THE ANSWER!
THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF IRRELEPHANTS IN A CIRCUS.

Easy there RTB. He said that Obama's primary wins in red states are irrelevant to his chance of victory in those states' general elections, not that NC or its primary are irrelevant.
