Dems have their nominee--brilliant Hollywood minds(another oxymoron) have spoken: >Obama Beats Out Clinton and Carter for Second Grammy By Noel Sheppard \| February 10, 2008 So, you think Nobel Laureate Al Gore is the only Democrat that can win meaningless awards from sycophantic Hollywoodans? Well, think again, for on Sunday evening, presidential candidate Barack Obama (D-Ill.) won his second Grammy in three years. Possibly a foreshadowing of things to come, Obama's victory came at the expense of a Clinton. As reported by Reuters moments ago: Fresh from their feud on the campaign trail, Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama beat Bill Clinton in a contest almost as closely watched as the primaries being waged across the United States -- the music industry's Grammy Awards. Obama on Sunday won the spoken word Grammy for the audiobook version of his blockbuster tome "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream." It marked his second statuette, following a win in 2006 for "Dreams From My Father," an audiobook for a memoir first published in 1995. Wait for it: Bill Clinton was seeking his third Grammy with "Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World," a call to public service. Another former Democratic president, Jimmy Carter, also was in the running, with "Sunday Morning in Plains: Bringing Peace to a Changing World," a collection of Bible lessons. Carter won the award last year. Does it get any better than this? Of course, despite many audio books released by Republicans every year, GOP authors rarely achieve Grammy status: No Republican politician has won the category since Everett Dirksen, an Illinois congressman and senator, in 1968. Why do you think that is? —Noel Sheppard is an economist, business owner, and Associate Editor of NewsBusters.
