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 Comedy [...]

Obama flips Hillary the bird

By Violet Socks · Friday, April 18th, 2008 · 38 Comments »

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 [...]

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 of [...]

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 [...]

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? [...]

A hypothetical

By Violet Socks · Monday, April 7th, 2008 · 5 Comments »

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 [...]

Evil Mommy vs. Jesus

By Violet Socks · Friday, April 4th, 2008 · 20 Comments »

In a good but mis-titled article, Steven Stark comments on the deep weirdness of the current movement to get Hillary to quit:

The will to lose

By Violet Socks · Tuesday, April 1st, 2008 · 23 Comments »

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.
