The Hyped One's sell-out was called long before by Arthur Silber:

I stopped paying for this drek a long time ago. Since I can read Keef and the other comics other places, I shall.

Buh-bye.

What we see with Wright is a ancient method of upbraiding a society: jeremiads. They are always needed, but never popular. Seems Wright has taken his given name to heart.

Clinton has ties to lunatic Christians as well:

Elections stopped being about policy and more about cult of personality a long time ago, it's not just one candidate. Don't tell yourself otherwise.

As in Jim Webb? He voted for this excrement?

To understand why the DINO from MD lost, just look at Glenn's post today about the telecom immunity bill.

People are tired of Congress going along with the GOP, despite pledges to stick up for us, and hamstringing our civil liberties, not out of some loyalty to Ober-Meister Meisterbuger Dark Lord Kos.

I would love to see a non-legalese weasel-worded denunciation of these "signing statements" by Obama, Clinton, and Kucinich and a pledge to declare previous void and to make no further statements.

See, this illustrates why I dropped my subscription (and keeping Paglia around). Rather than repeating lazy reporting, you could have just--here's something crazy-- CALLED the campaign.

The fecklessness of Obama and Clinton on the FISA vote only further demonstrate that the old narrative of political growth, Senator then President, is a hollow idea.

When was the last time anyone got really excited about a Democratic candidate who was in Congress? When was the last time one even was elected?

The skill set one develops as a legislator is not even close to the one needed to be President. As much as I love how Dodd has taken a leadership role, I think that in 08 it would be best if he stayed in the Senate, along with Obama (and the meager good which Clinton brings), and worked to overturn many of the travesties which have been foisted upon us by the GOP and their enablers like Lieberman.

The Bush administration has announced to the world, and to all Americans, that this is what the United States now stands for: a vicious determination to dominate the world, criminal, genocidal wars of aggression, torture, and an increasingly brutal and brutalizing authoritarian state at home. That is what we stand for.

And who says otherwise? The Democrats could -- and the most forceful means of doing so, the only method that is appropriate to this historic moment, the method that is absolutely required if we are to turn away from this catastrophic, murderous course, is impeachment. That is the one method the Democrats will categorically, absolutely not utilize -- because the Democrats are a crucial, inextricable part of the identical authoritarian-corporatist system that has led us to these horrors. They have all worked toward this end over many decades, Democrats and Republicans alike, and now the horrors manifest themselves explicitly, without apology, even with the sickening boastfulness of the mass murderer who is proud of what he has done, and who vehemently believes he is right.

They only thing "they" have is the power which these slugs want.

America is getting the nation we deserve.

Camille is one of main reasons why I, and likely many others, no longer subscribe.

I keep coming back for 2 things: Andrew Leonard and the comics.

Dump her and find someone less vapid.

Arthur Silber's been right for a long time.

The current crop of Congressional Dems want these powers too, so we shouldn't be surprised when they go along with the Repubs.

More Dems in office means more of this until the people wisen up.

Here are the links for that:

They failed to stop the GOP plan because they support it. Folks like Arthur Silber have been pointing this out for some time, it just takes some effort from people like me to overcome the cognitive dissonance of (formerly) supporting the Dems.

She seems to be (seems, nay IS) clueless and blames it on the blogs and money.

Here's two examples:

1) War with Iraq

2) FISA

Need I say more?

Ohh...the stupid...it burns my Precious.

I wish Salon would stop using Republican ideas, repackaged. Clinton is no liberal, she's a centrist corporate shill.

"War Pigs" by Black Sabbath, for her blank check for war to the Worst. President. Ever. (my apologies to Bartcop)

She still comes off as pandering and unfunny. The first humorous ad which I have seen is from Bill Richardson.

Mr. Miller has responded to the factually lacking rebuttal by Manjoo. Why does Salon continue to employ someone that continues to neglect the facts of the matter and rely upon weak resources in his reporting? Manjoo's negligence is ill-serving a magazine that claims to be after the truth. I will not be continuing my subscription, I suggest others do so as well.
