    that's a lie. the DNC set the rules. the states ignored them at their own peril. vote for mclame. that will prove who you really are: a fascist troll.

    voting for mclame is voting to continue the disastrous Bush policies at least another four years. you're no Democrat. The committee today, with the exception of the ever so aptly named Harold Ickes, acted judiciously, wisely, and with mutual respect. Billary got more than she deserved, in both states. Now we know who has the diplomatic skills: Barack. the shrew is through. Still. Viva la chica loca.

    Acting as The Shrew's surrogate, Ickes stuck the only sour note of the day (except for the rent a riot Billarybots flown in to piss and moan). The committee acted with due diligence, and gave Rodham more than she deserved. But I'm okay with that. She's done.

    midol futures. big surge in the next month. nice behavior in the gallery at the convention. my three year old granddaughter acts that way when she's tired or hungry. In a year, she'll be fine. Those screeching shrews today, I doubt will improve. boo hoo.

    no, it's not in the least funny. it's exactly as funny as the behavior of the anarchists in the gallery today, or of Harold Ickes' threat to sink the ship if Hillary doesn't get to steer. In reality, I think the committee acted with remarkable restraint, bent over backwards to please those who will not be pleased because they don't get exactly what they want. this is deadly serious business, and the country's future is at stake, so all that screaming from the balcony about Denver, and all the threats here to vote McCain are beneath contempt. I retract the content of the midol remark, which was, indeed, childish, but I retain my disdain for those who will not be assuaged because they don't get their own goddamned way.

    form a turd party. go ahead. be Raff Nadir in 2000. siphon votes away from anyone vaguely progressive. you don't even know where the goddamned bus is, much less who's gotten thrown under it. No one I know imagines Obama as anything other than a promising leader. His intellect and his eloquence are beyond dispute. we won't know for some time if he's the real thing. We do know that billary is a hack who'll do anything- including accepting Soviet style one candidate votes- to get what she thinks belongs to her. Tough shit. She lost, under rules she helped put in place. Sauce for the gander, sauce for the goose. Now, we'll see if she has any semblance of respect for the party. My guess is she cares about nothing other than herself. Me, me, me. Boo hoo. Grow up or piss off.

  • Goodbye, shawnie baby

    we'll miss you as we'd miss a case of dysentery, a does of the shoveling runs that fills the septic system to overflowing. as far as your checkbook, you're overdrawn and overwrought. And, just today, billary's last chance went up in flames. the set to Back to the Future burned in LA. there goes the flux capacitor. flux you, shawn. it's been a pleasure, but nothing like imagining you next January as that darkie gets sworn in as President and then sullies the White House you had yearned that Warmonger McLame would infest. As they said in old Russia, toughski shitzki.

    my pleasure, sire. it's fun poking the mutants through the wire. It's also fascinating to watch the constipated conceptual contortions these fools go through trying to prove Billary's been wronged, wronged, oh so wronged. The Democratic Party nomination process is indeed a hodgepodge, parts of which defy logic. But, ya know what: all the candidates, and the organizations they put together to run for this office, knew full well going in what the rules were. Obama went on to outdo the shrew at her own game, she of the name recognition and the double digits leads everywhere throughout this country. Aw, that shifty coon done done the 54 jurisdiction monty on her lumpy patricians ass. Karma's a bitch, too, Billary.

    two more super delegates declared for Obama today. He now has 2070 of the 2118. the rest will come Tuesday or Wednesday. Then, shawn can take his self-abuse act back to freak republik with the rest of transylvanian inbreeds. An interesting primary season. the paid by the post morons can rake through the ashes of billary's burned campaign and cast blame and their own fecal matter, assuming there's a difference. The best candidate won, against great odds, and against great oddities like yoplait and hate bait kate and shawnie the two headed tool. Six months ago, Vegas wouldn't have given you odds on Obama winning the nomination. He did it. Turns out "yes, we can" ain't just talk. Wednesday, this stage will be over, and we can say "yes, we did". Then, McLame is in for an arse kicking, and he a huge arse begging to be kicked. Stock up on KY, shawnie baby. Grab yer ankles.
