Internal Monologue

Lieberman joins up with Hagee , who said that Hitler was God's instrument to chase the Jews into Israel. This is a guy McCain ran away from. Can all of us Ned Lamont supporters now shout out a big "We told you so!"? Yes. I like Atrios' quote : The alliance between right wing Jews and Christian lovers of Israel until it is destroyed in a fiery apocalypse and all the Jews go to hell has always been a wee bit puzzling, but one would've thought that asserting that the holocaust was all part of God's divine plan would perhaps strain that relationship a bit.

From Political Wire : "A milestone of sorts was reached earlier this year, when Obama, the Illinois senator whose revolutionary online fundraising has overwhelmed Clinton, filed an electronic fundraising report so large it could not be processed by popular basic spreadsheet applications." Well, Excel isn't mentioned by name, but what other "popular basic spreadsheet applications" are there?

How walk-friendly is your address? My home is 82 out of 100. My work is 85.

C'mon Clinton. The writing's been on the wall for some time now. The sooner you concede and start unifying the party, the faster the healing can begin. Your declared superdelegates are starting to switch to Obama : The endorsement by US Rep. Dennis Cardoza (D-California) of Obama today sends an extremely firm message to the Clinton campaign, and not only because he was, until today, a Clinton superdelegate. The Field has learned that Cardoza is the first of a group of at least 40 Clinton delegates , many of them from California, that through talking among themselves came to a joint decision that all of them would vote for Obama at the convention. They have informed Senator Clinton that it’s time to unite around Obama , and that they will be coming out, one or two at a time, and announcing their switch between now and the convention if Senator Clinton doesn’t do the same. And by the way, what's this about Clinton mentioning RFK's assassination as a reason not to drop o

I'm going to keep posting videos like this one until Clinton stops making these ludicrous arguments about Florida and Michigan that completely contradict her campaign's earlier pledges on the matter. Clinton, you have a right to stay in the race (I still think it's a bad idea). But stop saying incredibly stupid things. It's deeply insulting, and it's driving our discourse into stupidland. You're driving people crazy . You had so much goodwill from so many Democrats (including me) and you're pissing it away and it won't do you a lick of good. You could make yourself into an incredible hero right now by putting a fork in all this. Or if you want to keep running, be honorable about it.

I must applaud McCain for rejecting another hate-spewing preacher . Perhaps with McCain there will be a line drawn between the Republican party and batshit apocalyptic hate-filled versions of Christianity. Let us hope. (I first griped about McCain getting a pass on Hagee at the beginning of March...oh wait, here's an earlier example .) Could it be that the media is getting bored of Clinton's endless goalpost shifting and starting to turn a skeptical eye on McCain?

Thank goodness there's a limit to right wing Christian-flavored nuttiness that Republicans can safely associate with. McCain has rejected Hagee's endorsement . I suspect this statement that recently surfaced on YouTube had something to do with it: I'm just relieved that there is a line that a right winger can cross and get shunned by mainstream Republican politicians. I was beginning to think it didn't exist.
