Gone To The Dogs



The "endorsement" game in American politics has reached the level of the absurd. CNN found it necessary to pen a story on the internal conflict that confronts Snoop Dog, as he struggles with his choice:

(CNN) — Days before 22 states are set to hold Democratic primary contests, it appears at least one crucial endorsement is still up for grabs: Rapper Snoop Dogg's.

The rapper and music producer told CNN's Larry King he is torn between both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton's historic candidacies.

"I just want to see somebody win in the best interest of America — whether it be [Obama], a black man, or whether it be Hillary, a woman,"

Crucial indeed. Rumor has it that Hillary's team have temporarily stopped courting John Edwards, in a last ditch effort to secure Snoop before Super Tuesday. The next logical question, what will 50 Cent do?

CNN is certainly supporing Obama - it's so blatantly obvious.

Did they omit the part where his family (he's from the streets) were far better off during the Clinton years and he appreciates so much what they did for them? Na, not likely.

The point is that it doesn't matter what Snoop thinks, it isn't news worthy. That said, only your bias would see a Obama bias in a piece that has a man torn between the two.

You know Steve... the other night when you wrote your post about Hulk Hogan, when I wrote that comment about Gary Coleman, I was originally thinking about saying Snoop Dogg, but then I thought "Nah, he would never get into this.... that's just not Snoop". Boy was I wrong.... Mind you I never would have pictured Snoop at hockey games, yet he's at those now too.
