... but it will work with 45% of the country.

Now the question is how to get to a majority of the middle 10%? I still think calling all Republicans scaredy cats and pussies for their obsessive fear mongering is the best bet, but of course Democrats have to form their circular firing squad first.

Alex, let's review:

Anonymous sources MAY be valid when they are whistle-blowing or otherwise contradicting the party line.

Anonymous sources who are clearly advancing the interests of the party they represent ARE NEVER NEWSWORTHY.

This is true whether it is a "highly placed Bush official" smearing a Democratic opponent or a "Clinton associate" smearing a Democratic opponent.

Do they not HAVE journalism classes at Penn? Did you just not take any? Have you read any of Glenn's work?

Does anyone else think that Glenn Greenwald must have an extraordinarily high capacity for cognitive dissonance to continue to work at Salon while he dissects the sham of a press corps we have?

she has won every single state that counts for the GE

SobeOne, please please explain this one to me. I am baffled. I keep hearing that HRC won the big states in the Democratic Primary and therefore she is going to do better in the General. Is your contention really that because she won a majority of democrats in NY, NY is going to vote for McCain in November?

Is that really your argument? REally? That smells of desperation more than even her ridiculous concern for the voters of Michigan when she was the only one on the ballot.

Just to let you know NY is staying blue. So is RI. So is MA. So is MI.

Good lord, if ever there was an argument that was pure sophistry, it is that one.

I know that snark is the sole consideration for War Room items these days, but how about you actually address the comment made. Williams was absolutely and irrefutably wrong to take money to shill for the program and not acknowledge it and the Bush administration's attempts to nullify the press are well documented and disgusting, but what about the actual statement?

Is it wrong? As a university professor I see students with good SAT scores and grades who are dumbfounded by the slightest criticism of their work. High schools apparently teach now that any opinion that is nearly equally valid and worthy of an A or B.

As a parent, I am disturbed by the practice of giving every athlete a trophy at the end of each season. Not only does it clutter up the house, it devalues real accomplishments later. What was so wrong with giving every kid a tshirt or cap to play in for the season which they keep. There. No need for trophies, but in my children's leagues they get them for showing up (or not even).

This is not a left or right issue. Ask the Intelligent Design folks.

But I guess because Armstrong is a jerk who did something wrong previously, we NEVER have to listen to anything he ever has to say again and in fact are required to mock it without addressing any of the argument's merits.

You're doing a heckuva job here Alex. If Joan weren't a complete imbecile, someone else would probably be writing war room.

I know it's harsh to blame Curry - without whom obviously wouldn't have been anywhere near that game -- but man, he got shut down and refused to play team ball. He consistently forced shots that he did not have rather than pass and in the end it cost them.

Was that bad coaching or selfish play or necessary?

To borrow programmer's metaphors, destroying Obama's chances in November is not a bug in Hillary's code, it is a feature. In fact, at this point, it is the sole feature of the program that is still running.

I liken it Iraq. We all saw the video of Cheney explaining in 1991 why it would be have caused chaos to depose Sadaam. So it is not like they didn't know that things were not going to be roses and democracy. Therefore, we have to assume that there was another reason: revenge against Sadaam no matter what the cost, a desire to show HW that W had a bigger dick, a desire to see gasoline double in price while giving billions to cronies. take your pick. but it wasn't a lack of understanding what was going to happen.

Likewise, Hillary knows she's not going to win, but she is sure as hell going to destroy Obama's chances before she crawls back under her rock.

God Joan why didn't reassure us all that you aren't concerned about his COCAINE use? Maybe you could say he's not like JESSE JACKSON. Good Lord, it is pathetic. It seems to me you might as well just say "Salon readers, I believe you are idiots."

This is a non-story that you gave a headline to in order to publicize the charges while pretending to be dismissing them.

You are as vile as HRC in these gutter tactics and when the Democrats lose in November you will both go on TV and say the american people let the world down again. No Joan, YOU are letting the world done with this self-evidently sloppy partisan coverage.
