Her latest endorsement by Rush Limbaugh?

Hey, it'd be better than that phony "scandal" over the Canadian NAFTA memo. Might even garner her a few more votes.

And that's what Her Imperial campaign is all about, right?

So this confirms what I've thought all along-- That she is in fact Cheney in a pantsuit to a number of folks, besides myself.

Interesting too, that she actually touts this.

Is this a surprise to anyone?

She had a hand in creating the bloody quagmire, she was for it before she was against it, and when that little incongruity became politically embarrassing she made crap up about what she thought she was really voting for.

OF COURSE SHE'S NOT TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT IRAQ. WHEN HAS SHE EVER!?

To anyone? Of course a candidate-- any candidate-- should stay in the race as long as his or her cause remains viable. And by remain viable, I mean until the electorate has spoken and the numbers become clear.

Which should be AFTER today's votes are counted and the results of the Texas caucuses (cauci?) are deduced, IMO.

Yes. Yes,I do.

The title of the bill was the "Joint Resolution to Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq," not the Joint Resolution to Disarm, Further Inspect, Use More Diplomacy, or Otherwise Rattle Our Sabres Short of Force Against Iraq.

The wording of the bill authorized the President to use "any means necessary" against Iraq.

To attempt to backtrack later, after the quagmire really developed and the war became a political liability, and claim that somehow the vote was really for something other than what is clear and self-evident is the height of disingenousness.

To believe that everyone will just forget actual historical fact and go along with the new spin is the height of hubris.

She knew what she was doing when she did it. And she knew what she was doing when she made up this other story about what she thought she was really voting for.

The only person to benefit from this new round of internecine Democratic strife will be John "One Hundred Years of War" McCain.

Well, I haven't yet heard Obama praising John McCain, unlike Her Imperial Majesty. But, of course, nobody ever argued that judgement was Her Imperial Majesty's strong suit.

Which would be a fundamental difference between the two, in my book. That, and the fact that Obama is the frontrunner in both delegates and popular votes...

We could compare their experience, if only Her Imperial Majesty would discuss that pesky Iraq decision that she so completely failed on. Oh wait, she won't admit that it was a failure....

Although she does now state that she thought by voting for the "Joint Resolution to Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq," she was voting for increased inspections.

Which manages to call into question her judgement, her veracity and her reading ability simultaneously....

I'm not sure which is more absurd: the comment itself (assuming, arguendo, that it is true that Obama is fortunate to be an African-American, then what does that make Her Imperial Majesty but the luckiest woman on the planet?) or the rationalizations of those rushing to defend it.

The manner in which a campaign is run is indicative of the manner in which a President will govern. So far, Her Imperiousness has shown us an overall lack of planning, a failure to account for unforeseen events, increased polarization, more name-calling, repeated use of surrogates to do the dirty work, continued use of the Big Lie and unbridled hubris.

Hasn't 8 long years of W's reign given us our fill of that style of governing?

If the Florida reps will only settle for the results of a rigged election, then tough luck. They knew what the rules were, violated them and now refuse to compromise. Ergo, the DNC should just decide for them.

Personally, I'd opt for splitting the delegates 50/50 and moving on to the next crisis manufactured by Her Imperial Majesty's campaign.

Speaking of overheated rhetoric and personal attacks, Geraldine Ferraro has submitted her resignation from Her Imperial Majesty's campaign.

About time.

Won a Few, But Still a Loser, to the tune of Don't Cry For Me Argentina, featuring the chorus:

Don't cry for me Pennsylvania,

You were supposed to have been a landslide,

That's all I wanted,

Not much to ask for...

Though I'm still second in the delegates,

Second in the popular votes,

Obama, you unqualified but lucky black man,

Won't you, won't you,

Be my Vice President?

Okay, so it's still a work in progress....

You'd have been better off just not addressing your failure to cover the story, rather than addressing it with this longwinded, Ferraro-esque defense of your non-reportage.

But thanks for protecting your poor, delicate readership from the perils of addressing an "overblown" story. In the future I just hope you don't decide to keep our fragile sensibilities safe from such overblown stories as the Iraq war, the staggering economy or the coming war with Iran.

Would the enfranchised bemoan the idea that they should be forced to endure the tiresome task of being sufficiently informed on the candidates and issues upon which they are entitled and expected to vote.

Clearly, we learned nothing as an electorate from the results of the last two Presidential elections.

Maybe we do indeed get the government we deserve...

Hey, isn't Wife Swap on that night?!

Go talk to your buddy Alex Koppelman over in the War Room, who claims the whole story is just "overblown" and this therefore justifies how he couldn't be bothered posting any news about it.
