@ Joan -- YOU are lecturing ME about being fair and balanced?
[Read the article: Why John Edwards hasn't endorsed Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Oh, and virtue001? I'm sure you also meant to provide the link to Christopher Hitchens' scathing column on Obama, his grandmother and the race speech from last week." -- Joan Walsh
Ah, yes, now Joan is critisizing of me for steering readers to Hitchens' devastating article on Hillary yesterday because I didn't mention his column on Obama last week. Actually, Joan, I WAS being fair and balanced, because apparently, it's now become the readers responsibility to balance your transparent support of Hillary and constant trashing of Obama. After all, it was just a couple of days ago that dear Joan told us: "She (Hillary) remembered that she disremembered."
My God, Joan, you're sounding more and more like John Kerry every day.
According to Joan: "Hillary didn't lie... It was only when she was confronted with the video that she remembered that she disremembered."
That was possibly the lamest excuse I've ever heard a grown-up sputter, with the possible exception of, "It's depends on what your definition of IS is."
Honestly, Joan, you talk to your audience like we're a gathering of idiots.
And speaking of talking, I had to get that quote by suffering through your video, which actually makes waterboarding seem like an attractive alternative. Believe it or not, Joan, most of us come here to read. Not to watch your didactic on-camera sermons in support of Hillary, complete with cheesy porn music underneath.
And another thing, Joan -- If Hillary needs to be confronted by a video in order to be convinced she didn't land under sniper fire in Bosnia, then what does that say about the dysfunction rattling around in her head? How could you possibly consider her a competent Commander-in-chief?
And YOU are lecturing ME on being fair and balanced. Pah-leeze. You're pathetic.

@ Carol Richards -- You can hear Joan utter the John Kerry-like phrase, "She (Hillary) remembered that she disremembered" if you go to...
[Read the article: Why John Edwards hasn't endorsed Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...her previous article, entitled "Hillary Clinton's Tough Week." However, you can't READ it, you have to suffer through her didactic video sermon to HEAR it.

Keep on dreaming, Joan.
[Read the article: Elizabeth Edwards: "Obama was charming"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]“Here's hoping other Democratic surrogates follow Edwards' lead and direct their formidable political firepower at McCain instead of at the two remaining Democrats fighting for the nomination.” – Joan Walsh
Sorry, Joan, but Hillary's surrogates are too busy phoning Superdelegates to tell them that Obama can’t win. And Bill is too busy trying to intimidate them with his finger-wagging meltdowns.
Oh well, whatever they can do to undermine the will of the people. Such class acts.

Joan can't even manage to interpret a poll without bias.
[Read the article: Americans more ready for a black president than a woman?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Americans are ready to embrace elite black leaders -- Obama, Colin Powell, Henry Louis Gates, Tiger Woods, Oprah -- and be proud of themselves for it. If only more of them would feel the same pride in embracing a woman president." -- Joan Walsh
Obviously, this poll was taken at a time when the only female running for president is Hillary. So when Americans are asked if the country is ready for a woman president, they all have images of the Hildabeast dancing in their heads. And we all know how low her likeability numbers are. So the poll itself is bogus. It wasn't about whether the country is ready for a woman or an African American. You can't ask a question like that in the thick of a heated primary race without Americans immediately putting familiar faces on the candidates. The poll only reflects the fact that Americans don't think the country is ready for Hillary. AND the fact that they ARE ready for Obama.
Perhaps Americans are also tired of how often the gender card has been used by Hillary in this race. She used it brazenly on Jay Leno just last Tuesday. Something about her being used to the fact that boys don't want her to play -- or some such transparent nonsense.
My God, won't it be wonderful when the Billary psychodrama is finally behind us?

Who cares?
[Read the article: Why Hillary Clinton should be winning]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's not a winner-take-all primary system. Why not write an article grounded in reality? You know, something like: If Al Gore could fly, he wouldn't have to burn so much jet fuel when he traveled.

Please, Joan, change the title of your article to: "Thank you, Rush Limbaugh, for teaching me to stir up my audience the same way you do."
[Read the article: Thank you, Rush Limbaugh!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Joan is now spouting pure garbage to garner attention. And she's shocked, shocked I tell you, to find that reader response is greater than ever before -- simply because she's brought the racism vs. sexism debate to a boil. Pitifully, Joan is now no different than any politcial talk show host (right or left) who opens the show by stirring up the audience, so that the emotions (and ratings) run high. Gee, I wonder what Randi Rhodes would call Joan.

Reading through all this endless Democratic infighting...
[Read the article: Thank you, Rush Limbaugh!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]... drummed up ad nauseam by Joan "Billary" Walsh, makes it obvious to me just how deeply Hillary is splitting the party. And how easily McCain will skip into the White House in January.

Joan Walsh: "I just deleted the {Christopher Walsh} post, because that was the simplest answer."
[Read the article: Thank you, Rush Limbaugh!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I guess when Joan was confronted with the fact that she deleted the Christopher Walsh post, she "remembered that she disremembered."

After reading through all the bloodletting here, it's clear...
[Read the article: Thank you, Rush Limbaugh!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]McCain will skate, yes skate, into the White House.

@coastergirl
[Read the article: Thank you, Rush Limbaugh!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]coastergirl: "The sexism goes beyond words. ... It is, rather, that any misstep by Clinton is held up as evidence of her horrible character..."
That's not sexism. Your statement is instead a perfect illustration of playing gender card.
