News Did Obama Fix That Vanderbilt-Murray State Game? Is His NCAA Bracket a Socialist Operative?

Posted by Jonny Diamond on Fri, Mar 19, 2010 at 11:51 AM

Who the hell calls 13-seed Murray State over 4-seed Vanderbilt? Though there were bigger upsets in yesterday's first round of the NCAA college basketball tournament, I'm pretty sure not a lot of people called this... EXCEPT THE PRESIDENT. How could he have known? Did he have inside information? Did he exert any undue influence? IS THIS WHAT CHICAGO/KENYAN/INDONESIAN/HARVARD/MOONBAT POLITICS LOOKS LIKE?1!! JUST SHOW US THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE NOBAMA!1!!

Perhaps he was sending a message to as-yet undecided Tennessee Democrat John Tanner, a message that reads "SEE WHAT KIND OF POWER I HAVE, JOHN? IF YOU VOTE "NO" ON HEALTH CARE I WILL CAUSE OTHER AMATEUR SPORTS TEAMS FROM TENNESSEE TO LOSE. HEED ME, JOHN, OR FEEL MY WRATH."

Or perhaps he just got lucky.

Meanwhile, his inexplicable failure to secure victory for Georgetown is basically Scott Brown/Martha Coakley all over again.
