Jim Wooten is Georgia's Comical Ali

The front page of Sen. John McCain's Georgia campaign web site features a September 14 column from AJC conservative columnist Jim Wooten predicting defeat for Sen. Barack Obama.

The column's complete and utter wrongness is almost impossible to overstate.

Some high/lowlights:

"Barack Obama knows it. The election he had in the bag is slipping away. The selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as John McCain’s running mate has so thrown him off stride, as it has most other Democrats"

"For a “change” candidate, Obama appears to be a man locked in time, unable to move past criticism, unable to move from the grip of the Democratic left, unable to adapt to the changed reality that the campaign is not the referendum on the war in Iraq or on the administration of George W. Bush that he’d envisioned."

"Obama has the habit, too, of reminding voters of their doubts about him,"

"Obama will lose because with less than two months remaining voters won’t be able to get comfortable with him. He can’t stay on message and he can’t avoid sending signals that interfere with the message when he does."

"McCain, on the other hand, has been superb going back at least to Obama’s European tour. Mainstream America is comfortable with him and, with Palin’s selection, conservatives who had their doubts are onboard."

"It’s not over. But it’s getting there —- and Obama knows it."

In a state as chock-full-o-Republicans as Georgia, is Jim "Comical Ali" Wooten really the best conservative columnist the AJC can come up with?

This can be easily explained, Jim is from Macon.

Well, at least the AJC isn't bankrupt ... yet.

Jim Wooten is a fearless defender of Our Leader in the Glorious and Permanent War on Terror and Dark Hued Persons wherever they might lurk. THE Captain grants that Mr Wooten has slowed a step or two, but noone is more unafraid to debase himself on a daily basis to further the cause of Real Americans who face the endless mockery of educated people everywhere. And journalists. It is true that THE Captain has been forced to sustain the lifeblood coursing through Mr Wooten's always amazing blog as Mr Wooten needs frequent naps, Metamucil breaks, and injections of vervet monkey hormones to continue to function, even at such a low level of EEG detection. Come on over to the AJC blog for the fun. THE Captain promises you will have a laugh riot and you will help defeat the Islamunistosodomites, too.

Maybe I spoke too soon. All commenting on all blogs on the AJC site was turned off/went down about five minutes ago. I smell a story.

Apparently it's just me. I've been banned. Good. I get much of my time back.
