On a more pleasant note…
I wish I had video for this: Clinton Crashes the Colbert Report by Aaron Bruns Hillary Clinton hit one of the hottest shows on TV tonight — taking on TV talk parody artist Stephen Colbert during his week in Philadelphia, and displaying a surprising knowledge of TV tech speak. When the big screen behind the [...]
Obama flips Hillary the bird
The transformative Hope & Change™ agent in action: More coverage and longer clips at No Quarter, Corrente, and Riverdaughter. It’s increasingly clear that for a significant number of people, a vote for Obama is a vote for misogyny. If you despise accomplished women like Hillary Clinton, if you long to smack them down and shut [...]
If this is true, I’ll never vote Democrat again
It’s Obama, stupid: Carter and Gore to end Clinton bid: DEMOCRAT grandees Jimmy Carter and Al Gore are being lined-up to deliver the coup de grâce to Hillary Clinton and end her campaign to become president. Falling poll numbers and a string of high-profile blunders have convinced party elders that she must now bow out [...]
One week on the campaign trail with Napoleon Obama
First he alienates everybody who’s blue-collar, religious, pro-gun, and/or anti-NAFTA: “You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them,” Obama said. “And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and [...]
She’s probably a bad driver too
More anti-Hillary bullshit: Missteps Mar Clinton’s Competency Message. Andrew Sullivan linked to this piece with a title that more accurately reflects the authors’ intentions: Can She Run Anything? Of course not! She’s a girl. Girls can’t do anything right. Why doesn’t CBS/Politico run similarly negative articles on Obama? Why not, say, “Pattern of lying mars [...]
I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore
A hypothetical
Imagine, for a moment, that the United States was militarily occupying a country where a certain kind of ethnic prejudice was endemic among traditional segments of the population. Imagine that as part of its occupation plan, the U.S. was allowing these traditionalists to assume greater political control. And imagine that one of the things the [...]
Evil Mommy vs. Jesus
In a good but mis-titled article, Steven Stark comments on the deep weirdness of the current movement to get Hillary to quit: It is, in truth, an argument virtually without precedent in modern political history, at least at this stage of such a close race. And while it does have its origins in an effort [...]
The will to lose
I’m starting to think the Democratic party has a death wish. This of all years should have been in the bag for a Democratic win in November: horrible war, horrible economy, Worst President Ever, etc. Every day the headlines are a blaring reminder that Republican policies don’t work. Yet leave it to the Democrats to [...]
