Oh, Where to START??? »

Good grief – evidently, this is what I get for going to sleep at night. All KINDS of stuff has come up about Obamessiah. I scarcely know where to begin, and others are already writing beautifully about this at No Quarter, so I don’t want to be TOO redundant, but WTF about Obama wanting to [...]

The TheirBarackObama Begging Site »

How fitting that the Obama Campaign is on its way to regretting the decision made by their Arrogant Selected Ass to forgo public financing. First, they didn’t meet their lofty goals for June. Surprise! And the DNC has been tanking financially since the last quarter of last year. Surprise! Do you think they have guessed [...]

THE CAUCUS FACTOR »

Statement from The Clinton Campaign »

Please keep in mind that this is a statement for public consumption and I FERVENTLY hope that much is still going on behind the scenes. NOTE this in the last sentence: “We reserve the right to challenge this decision before the Credentials Committee and appeal for a fair allocation of Michigan’s delegates that actually reflect [...]

The “Hurricane” at the Committee Hearing »

I just KNEW that Sen. Nelson is a t-rd. Just knew it. An appeaser. Grrrrrr. BUT MY MAN LANNY DAVIS IS A REAL DUDE WITH B-LLS! Jake Tapper has the story: There was a tornado watch outside the Democratic National Committee’s Rules & Bylaws Committee meeting at the Marriot Wardman Park Hotel Saturday afternoon. And [...]

THREAD #3 / Live Blogging Committee Hearing [Update with notes of Truthteller; Update with Protest Video] » »

Let us summarize Obama’s position: we must respect imaginary voters who would have or could have cast votes in Michigan and Florida, for if we do not respect these imaginary voters, we run the risk of disenfranchising voters who may or may not exist. It is a specious argument, especially as the Obama campaign’s victories [...]

Homework for tomorrow. (Updates on meeting-before-meeting) »

UPDATE: There was a meeting-before-the-meeting that went until 1:30 am. [AP report.] People who attended said no deals were reached, although there was a widespread sentiment that they should try to come up with some resolution that would put the issue behind them.

Josh Marshall Doesn’t Seem to Understand Florida: Let Me Explain »

Yesterday, TPM‘s Josh Marshall or the “person who kidnapped Josh” (phrase from Lambert at Corrente) complains: “…Then we have a speech like Sen. Clinton’s yesterday in Florida in which she compared the controversy over seating the Florida and Michigan delegates to the Florida recount debacle and many of the great voting and civil rights battles [...]

Josh Marshall’s Political Toxic Waste »

One is immediately stumped when searching for words that aptly describe the bilge sinking the increasingly cumbersome and tedious vessels that comprise the patently venal fleet of Obamablogs. According to one writer who has a predilection for reinscribing misogynistic tropes in almost every essay he pens, Hillary Clinton is “[t]oxic,” for she has the temerity [...]

Is Andrew Sullivan a Sociopathetic Hack? »

This idiot by the name of Andrew Sullivan is of the opinion that it is wrong for Hillary to work her heart out to get the delegates of Florida and Michigan seated at the convention. In his myopic opinion Hillary is a Clinton and everyone knows about the Clintons. They Are Legend. Shameless The Clintons [...]
