I wish I owned my own bowling ball like Hillary

Or at least my own bowling shoes.

I am envious. I imagine the hardworking bowlers of Pennsylvania might be envious too.

Envy won't buy Clinton votes.

The Rev. Ronald Burkle and the Yucaipa Church of Greed

Here's a test: will Joan Walsh demand that Hillary Antoinette give a transcendent speech on class in America, and to explain her relationship to Billionaire Burkle?

Why is Walsh always about gender and race, and never about class?

Why does Walsh always give Clinton a free ride on the tough issues?

"Eventually, they became rich."

What Juliebird left out:

After screwing over American workers with unregulated trade deals favoring multinationals, destroying health care reform on the orders of major insurance companies, and then sending the American working class off to die in Iraq on behalf of big oil and Halliburton...

eventually they became rich!

The money from the UAE

Doesn't anyone else find it a bit ironic that the Clintons made a million dollars from speeches in the United Arab Emirites, when UAE corporations supply many of the electronic components for the roadside bombs killing our troops in Iraq?

How nice for Hillary Antoinette that she can profit so directly from her war vote.

Salon drops Clinton tax story about class privilege another notch down the page

But keeps Walsh's bogus race vs. gender story, with full color video, up top.

Salon's establishment media in a nutshell

Hey, Glenn. How about complaining about Walsh's vanity video with her bogus analysis of the CNN poll on race? Seems like you could actually make a difference at Salon.

And you don't think the Clinton money story matters, but some of us do. Could you at least do some investigative reporting on why Salon is seeking to suppress it?

I hope so, too. What bothers me though is that Walsh has been lecturing us for over a year that we need to discuss race, discuss race, discuss race, discuss gender, discuss gender, discuss gender.

We are now at a juncture where the Clintons reveal that they are not just rich, but filthy rich, and that they got their money by taking advantage of the globalized economy they set up.

Meanwhile, jobs are disappearing and the lower and middle class are falling apart under the triple whammy of housing, health, and education costs. Oh, and fuel and food prices are up too.

And not one, NOT ONE, columnist at Salon sees this juncture as an opportunity to have a discussion about class in America. Even the brilliant Greenwald goes out of his way to say the story is a non-issue. As though political freedoms matter, but economic freedoms do not.

The problem for elite (and elitist) liberals is that they don't realize that THE ECONOMY IS THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE WITH THE VOTING PUBLIC. Sorry for shouting. But seriously, people are scared about their economic stability and whom they can trust among the political and monied classes.

Why not talk about it? Why not have an article by someone from the SEIU or some other militant union? Isn't it about time to have that discussion about class?

Rich Democrats bully Howard Dean

Here's another story Salon has suppressed--the role of megarich Democrat donors bullying Dean into pulling strings for, you guessed it, one of their own: Hillary Antoinette.

Hey, how does an economic loser Democrat like me get a private audience with the head of my party? My twenty bucks to Obama doesn't qualify me to have a voice?

Greenwald is wrong so far

"The Clintons are Rich!!!!" will undoubtedly soon be at the top of this heap within a matter of a day or two.

It's been two days. The media, including Salon and the established blogosphere, have stopped reporting on this issue.
