boo, turn the fucking laptop off and enjoy your vacation...k.

this shit'll be here when you get back.

the revolution will not be televised...

1.) Stupid intrinsically contains more stupid than the human mind is capable of comprehending. Stupid surrounds us, binds us, penetrates us-- no, maybe that's the Force.

2.) I'd reckon there will continue to be some of this passive/aggressive, conflicted stuff coming out of what's left of Camp Clinton for a while because it's still early days in the big unity thing, AND Davis and Ferraro are the two single worst surrogates I've ever seen. Comedy gold, they are. They just can't let the thing go. They got bloodied and insulted and driven cuckoo themselves, and they're just pure negative energy. And comedy gold. Did I say they were comedy gold? Clinton will shut those two up forthwith if she's got a lick of sense. But then there's still Bill to worry with. Who knows whose face he'll be wagging his finger in tomorrow?

I don't really see it as stupid. It's worse than that. 'Stupid' really means that a person is limited in a way that the person cannot overcome. It's almost a physical limitation.

What all this stuff, including Clinton's speech Tuesday, really is is an attempt to dictate something that show they are the ones REALLY in charge.

Clinton's speech was really an attempt to 'anoint' Obama. It's another attempt to demean him. Ferraro and Davis are attempting the same thing. They simply cannot accept that the Democratic Party is Obama's now. So if they can get Obama to look 'beneaththem by accepting some demand

that BS, Obama should not pay a damn dime of Hillary's debt. Clinton supports are doing what they can to make Obama look weak. Hillary should have quit  a long time ago..with her comment about RFK's death..she lost all respect.

Obama's supporters should be given the chance to help her once she concedes. Just in the name of party unity.

When you announce you leave, you're asked, "What they don't have internet in Italy?", and while you're gone, you're being told to log off.  People are funny.

~~~THIS SPACE FOR RENT~~~

Ferraro is the last person anybody should be listening to after the crazy accusations she was throwing around.  Thanks to her and Bill's claims we now have some polls showing McCain ahead with women and even stranger I have women telling me that the word "periodically" when used normally is a sexist term.  They are seriously trying to parse anything that you could tie to gender out of his words and turn them sexist it is insanity.  I don't begrudge them their anger at the media who did in fact throw a pretty significant amount of sexist statements at her over the course of the race, but trying to turn that into being Obama's doing is ridiculous.

Lanny Davis on the other hand is just humorous in how little rationale he seems to have.  Watching him makes me wonder how he has gotten as far as he has in his career.  I admire his loyalty and I do feel for him and Hillary's supporters in general, but he always seems to take the wrong course in displaying that loyalty.

how stupid Stupid can get

If the last seven years are any indication, the Clinton campaign tail spin, after the nomination slid out of their grasp, and they realized the American people in the democratic party had chosen somebody else ...... well they are about the second level of stupid. Or about stupid version 2.3 about right now.

But never fear, they have very good examples of stupid to work from, the Bushco insane clown posse is creating new levels of stupid cause they ran outa all the old ones around 2005. They are working on stupid version 9.9 about now a days, and haven't given up thinkin' it will still work.

...one has to wonder how stupid Stupid can get.

Between here and Denver I believe we are about to see just how deep that rabbit hole goes...

The Underground Railroad

Here's hoping that Obama ignores the Stupid and continues to do things his way.  

- Does John McCain even know what he stands for anymore?

I think by the end of yesterday's news cycle it pretty well was out there that Hillary was simply damaging herself and he future. It was also pretty clear that there was no practical way Hillary could be VP.

And Obama demonstrated superior, presidential leadership when he said the next thing anyone will hear from his camp on this is when they make the announcement (read: it is my decision to make and I will make it -- that is for me somehow importantly different than being a "decider").  It also said to the media and the public, move along, this story is over.

What I really have questions about is how Hillary's excuse/explanation for why she didn't concede on Tuesday is she needs time reflect on what is right for her and her interests. Huh? She's had since 5 Feb. to think about the possibility of losing the nomination. It was bloody mathematically obvious for weeks. She wants to be president and she was unprepared for this moment? Shit, instinct and manners along aren't enough?

This shows such a total lack of judgment but also a severe lack of self awareness about how she shows up. I think late Wednesday or midDay Thursday, enough people told her (perhaps including Obama), "Hillary, you need to go" and she finally got it.

Now I really wonder how this will play out for her. Will she really campaign for Obama? Does he really want  her (and Bill) stumping for him? Will this mark the end of the Clinton mafia which frankly requires dominating power and influence to have any power and influence at all? Perhaps she and Bill will go away and reinvent themselves doing good things, as Gore did. How do you think Bill would look in a beard?

It's all about negociation.  Here's the deal that sealed the pact between Clinton and Obama.  Lanny Davis gets to be caretaker for Camp David, in charging of cleaning up and all.  Security detail will be as it is now with the Secret Service.  Phil Singer gets a new uniform so he can stand outside the White House to greet tour groups. Hillary, of course gets whatever she wants short of Veep.  It's a win-win solution.

And, Mark Penn gets a tax audit.  

I think that's about it.  Sounds good to me.

... I think I hit stage one the day after I voted in Ohio in March (OK, for neither of the remaining contenders).

And, yes, if Stupidity itself read to many headlines from the US political press, its IQ would drop.
