Hey Ma! I'm On The Huffington Post!



Huffington Post has acquired the services of Spacey Gracey (with assistance from the Shelbinator) to produce videos which gather local perspective on the '08 election for their new Off The Bus section.

For her first piece, Grayson chose Manuels Tavern and its usual gaggle of left leaning political hipsters. Although I don't consider myself a "liberal" or a "progressive"(and there were probably a couple of newspapermen there that would also object to that tag), I tagged along because there would be beer and opportunities to pick on Tom Houck. The question of the day was how would Sen. Hillary Clinton play in Georgia.

For the record, my full quote was 'She's an unusual candidate for the fact that at this point usually most people are undecided where Hillary has very high positives and very high negatives but very few people undecided. But there's far more positive than negative at this point even in the south. So I think she's gonna play just fine."

To put it more bluntly, despite appearances, I ain't no Hillary fan. But I do think she will beat expectations in Georgia.

  1. Listen hon, I ain't makin' no stinkin' documentary! I'm old-schooled, thus I chop-up full bites to get something short and sweet that'll play well on TV. Sorry if it gives the impression you personally would be FOR Hillary. Mon Dior! I think it, edited as it is, still has the feel of an astute poltical observer's opinion, rather than a personal one. So there.

  2. Just wanted to clarify Grayson. No offense intended. Bad enough you got me associating with liberals!

  3. Worse things have surely happened! No offense taken at all. The audio on that whole bite wasn't all that great too, for some reason or another. I'll blame that on Shelby. The old-school way is to ALWAYS blame the crew. Hard habit to break, epecially when one suddenly becomes "the crew!"

  9. I only saw that video this morning, and just now linked to it.

    Pretty cool concept. What's up with Houck's hair? I haven't seen him in person in years. He still sounds like he gargled gravel, though.

    Congrats on your new-found fame.
