Last week for a change, I tuned into Fox News to catch up on the Lizzy Warren indian escapades. Fomer Governor Dean campaign director, Joe Trippy, was being interviewd by Steve Duccie, during which conversation, Mr. Trippy castigated the Warren campaign staff for its apparent unpreparedness to address the candidate's claim to the birthright of a Native American. At first blush, Mr. Trippy's insight seemed to really hit the bulls-eye, so I decided to reflect on what a competent campaign would have said in response to media inquiries about this Warren Claim. This strategic evaluation gave rise to the Top Ten Reasons Ms. Warren called herself an American Indian:
1) There was no Cherokee law against it.
2) She is a First Amendment Absolutetist.
3) She thought she was putting down Indiana as her home state.
4) She hates Indians, so she didn't want any of them to get a job.
5) She loves Indians, so she knew they would take pride in her accomplishments.
6) She is an irrational liar.
7) She is a rational liar.
8) Hey, you never know, so it could be true.
9) Hey, isn't everyone from Oklahoma a half breed?
And the Number One reasons Elizabeth Warren called herself an AI -
Personal integrity is so old school.
