Tim Kaine Embarasses Virginia

Virginia Governor Tim Kaine just delivered his speech as part of the leadup to the coronation of Prince Barack Hussein Obama. Two nights and two embarassing performances by Virginia politicians. Mark Warner sounded like the obnoxious guy you get stuck next to on a cross-country flight as he recounted the fascinating story of his rise to riches in the cell phone industry. And now Kaine fills the bill of the VERY white guy attempting to sound like a soulful black preacher. It looked more like a bad community theatre parody than a serious speech by someone who was on the short list to be a vice-presidential nominee. Look, I don't expect that we will ever again have a Patrick Henry, George Mason, James Madison or Thomas Jefferson representing Virginia. But, can't we do better than Joe Isuzu and Vanilla Ice?
