Kerry: Obama Could Help US Relations with Muslim Nations ‘Because He’s a Black Man’

In an interview with Massachusetts’ SouthCoastToday, Obama-backing Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., says among other reasons he’s supporting Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, is his belief that “it would be such an affirmation of who we say we are as a people. if we could elect an African-American president, young leader, who is obviously visionary about the ability to inspire people.”

Kerry said that a President Obama would help the US, in relations with Muslim countries, “in some cases go around their dictator leaders to the people and inspire the people in ways that we can’t otherwise.”

“He has the ability to help us bridge the divide of religious extremism,” Kerry said. “To maybe even give power to moderate Islam to be able to stand up against this radical misinterpretation of a legitimate religion.”

Kerry was asked what gives Obama that credibility.

“Because he’s African-American. Because he’s a black man. Who has come from a place of oppression and repression through the years in our own country.”

An African-American president would be “a symbol of empowerment” for those who have been disenfranchised around the world, Kerry said, “an important lesson for America to show Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, other places in the world where disenfranchised people don’t get anything.”

Georgia Baseball Team Plans “Eliot Spitzer” Theme Night

MACON, Ga. – Eliot Spitzer may no longer have a job, but he could still be the belle of the ball.

Macon’s minor league baseball team, the Music, is inviting the former New York governor to throw out the first pitch at its June 13 game, which was named “Eliot Spitzer Night” just hours after Spitzer stepped down amid a prostitution scandal.

South Coast League chief development officer J.D. Hardin says fans with the name Eliot, Spitzer or Kristen – the moniker of the callgirl authorities say Spitzer spent thousands on at the swanky Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. – get $1 off admission. So do fans from New York and fans who have ever resigned any position.

During the game, the team will give away a trip to New York and a one-night stay at the Mayflower Hotel, Hardin said. Frank Sinatra songs will serenade fans during the game.

The ninth fan – Spitzer was described in FBI documents as Client No. 9  – will get a prize. The 871st fan to buy a ticket will get a gift certificate from the team store – a play on the hotel room number authorities say Spitzer stayed in at the Mayflower.

Spitzer has not replied to the invitation to the game, but the theme night will go on regardless of whether he attends, Hardin said.

“I think this is probably the craziest idea to come out of the Music office yet,”  Hardin told The Telegraph of Macon.   “Hopefully, people will take this with a light attitude.”

Blue Boy Spitzer: Take Note

Half a world away, Iranian authorities have a problem of their own.

AKI News reports…

Iran: Tehran police chief arrested in brothel with six prostitutes

Tehran, 10 March (AKI) – Tehran’s police chief, Reza Zarei, has been arrested after he was found nude in a local brothel with six naked prostitutes, according to report on the Iranian Farda News.

Farda News is a website said to be close to the mayor of Tehran and former chief of the police forces, Mohammed Bagher Qalibaf.

Following the raid, Zarei stepped down from his post as police chief. The news of his arrest however was not reported by any official Iranian news agency.

According to a popular Iranian website Gooya, the order to raid the brothel was given directly by Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi, chief of the judicial authorities.

Before he was arrested, Zarei was in charge of the programme for the ‘moralisation of the city’.

It is alleged that in the past six months, hundreds of young people have been arrested in Iran for not respecting the Islamic code of behaviour.

It’s going to be a long week!

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy

Looks like NY Governor Spitzer was caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Bad boy! In the criminal complaint he is referred to as “Client #9″ so I thought it fitting to dedicate a song to the Luv Guv!

Mr. & Mrs. Client # 9
