Deval we hardly knew ye! Moonbats flock to Obama

The Deval Patrick era is over.
These moonbats are a tough crowd. As the Eagles once sang, they will never forget you ’til somebody new comes along.
And now somebody new has come along - Barack Obama, or, as Ted Kennedy once called him, “Osama Obama.” Did you see those crowds for him in New Hampshire on Sunday - it looked like nothing less than the continuation of the Deval-apalooza south of the border here this year.
The fine silk scarves, the leather hats, the ponytails - and these are the males I’m talking about.
As they listened to Barack’s inane pap, their mouths dropped, their eyelids fluttered. Their knees grew weak. Timber, they’re falling in love again.
Let’s be clear, the moonbats still adore Deval. But really, there are some things about Barak that make him an even more attractive politician for moonbats to crush on.
Barak is taller than Deval.
He doesn’t have that squeaky Deval voice.
Then there’s his middle name - Hussein. Some old fogeys think sharing a name with the Butcher of Baghdad is a drawback, but they don’t know moonbats like we do, do they? It makes him even more perfect. After all, George Bush hates Saddam Hussein, ergo, Hussein is Good People.
If only he didn’t smoke cigarettes.
So here’s Barak Obama, on top of the best-seller lists and the polls, and what is Deval reduced to? Planning his five-day coronation and wondering whether he needs to build an invisible fence around Tim Murray’s office to keep him from wandering off for yet another feed with Good Time Charlie Flaherty.
Poor Deval. He hasn’t been inaugurated yet, and already he’s yesterday’s news. From Together We Can to Together We Did - once upon a time.
But events move fast in a moonbat world - just ask another of yesterday’s Daily Kos heroes, Ned Lamont. He feels your pain, Deval.
And how does Hillary Clinton deal with this Obama-mania? Every time I see her on TV now, I imagine her slowly morphing into Tom Reilly. Of course, her top political adviser is Bill Clinton, and Tom Reilly’s was Marty Meehan. Edge: Hillary.
Another thing this last weekend confirms is that New Hampshire is gone. The Union Leader described Barack’s reception as “rapturous,” which it was, but by God William Loeb would have red-penciled that pro-Obama headline faster than you can say Sam Yorty for President.
If I am Sen. John Sununu, I am very, very concerned about 2008.
New Hampshire is Blue Hampshire. It’s gone from the Granite State to the Granola State. From Live Free or Die to just plain Live Free. No wonder the Old Man of the Mountain toppled over. Who would have ever predicted that New Hampshire would someday send clones of Bernie Sanders and Cindy Sheehan to Congress?
This is all very depressing to the Massachusetts natives who fled north thinking they could escape the insanity. “Where do I go next?” one of them moaned to me Monday.
In 2004, many New Hampshire Republicans thought the state was stolen from George Bush by busloads of Bay State students who allegedly took advantage of notoriously lax same-day registration.
Now the moonbats will be heading north, and they’ll be staying, at least until the presidential primary.
But there is a silver lining to this dark cloud. This blue tidal wave should save the New Hampshire primary. New Hampshire is no longer out of the mainstream. It’s as nutty as everywhere else.
