And it is not our job to debate them; it's our job to ask the questions. -- Gibson

Gibson would have been more accurate if he had said this:

And it is not our job to debate them, since we don't have even one half-assed clue about whats going on;it's our job to ask the questions and then report the answers uncritically, without analysis, like outrageously over-paid stenographers.

Discriminating at every level of society including government due to sexual orientation is somewhere beyond hateful and ignorant.

That's why it is so good to see progressive, liberal presidential candidates come out so strongly in favor of gay marriage.

Oh wait they're not. Never mind.

"How did it happen? Because God allowed it to happen." -- Hagee

Well...excuse me, if you believe in God, didn't God allow it to happen? Was God powerless to stop the attempted genocide of the Jewish people? I don't think so.

Or is God like a politician who takes credit for all the good shit that happens and blames others (like us lowly humans) when bad shit happens? I don't think thats it either.

Maybe we are Gods little experiment, free to do what we may. Decadence, selfishness, sensless violence, heroism, selfless service, nobility and everything in between.

It's our call, but she's staying out of it.

Axelrod doesn’t do business in DC? Hmmm but Exelon his client does as Newsweek points out. Exelon executives have donated a quarter-million dollars into Obama’s campaign, I guess just for a few yucks. Furthermore New York State considers ASK a lobbying firm. And I could go on and on about all of Obamas relations with influence peddlers, (Rezco ring a bell?) or lobbysist temporarily on vacation, and about Axelrod who says he isn't "really" a lobbyist but just a sleazy corporate proagandist and senior partner in a firm with questionable business ethics. Actually if you paid ASK enough I am sure you could get them to sell nuclear waste to a third world country as inexpensive fertilizer.

The reality is Obama is a talented Chicago politician, highly ambitious, ruthless, not afraid to step on peoples backs on the way up the ladder, neither unstained or uncompromised. In short he is a old style politician of the first order dressed up, and marketed in "change", "unity", and "new politics" clothing.

But the killer for Obama is not that he is an old style politician, most politicians are old style, the qualities you need to win in politics have not changed. The killer for Obama is that his campaign platform is to arrogantly and hypocritically deny to us who he is.

Thats alot and I didn't read like 1390, because the first couple of pages were mostly about bashing Joan, keyboards sticky with bleeding fingers and spittle flying.

I hope the rest aren't like that, but I don't want to find out. Maybe there's something about a woman supporting a woman that the foaming at the mouth crowd can't handle.

"Has there ever been a more moronic interview of a president of the United States than the one conducted yesterday by Mike Allen?" -- Dan Froomkin

You put two morons in a room together -- what do you expect.

That is what is new in Obamas campaign. Politics used to be about the product and the sell. For Axelrod (and others like Rove), the product is irrelevant, it's about the sell.

The good - The truth comes out from a White House insider

The bad - McClellan did not "see the light" and reveal this much earlier

The Ugly - How can the media and the "establishement" think any of this is "new" information. The Bush administration and media behaviour has been incredibly obvious since it began.

...to drive the Congressional approval ratings even lower then their current and abysmal 19%.

Advocates of the "new politics" as well as the GOP agree sexism does not exist.

Advocates of the "new politics" as well as the GOP agree racism exists, except the the "new Politics" advocates believe only blacks suffer discrimination and the GOP believe whites suffer reverse-discrimination.

Now if the advocates of "new politics" can convince the GOP that everyone is discriminated against, except for women, they will then have achieved Obamas vision of unity.

Wonderful.

It is clear why Axelrod would not be promoting how Ayers the bonehead ex wanna be violent revolutionary, brat-son of a wealthy man, helped launch Obamas political career.

However it would not be surprising if Ayers was bragging about how he launched Obamas career - his only bone-head wanna be revolutionary move that was remotely successful.

And who would that be?
