Rancid
The Clintons are acting like their old fiendish selves again. Damn those two to hell, and I don't really mean "their people" --- I mean them. If Democratic politics was the mafia, Obama operatives would be drawing straws as to who gets to work things out with the hit man.

Can we whack whoever this reporter is too? He makes Tony Potts look like David Brinkley.

Don't be so damned naive. This story is being drummed up by the right to keep the Democrats divided. Mike Allen is one of the main writers on this Politico story and he hasn't met a right-wing talking point he couldn't lick off his own neck.
Your hatred of the Clinton's has been massaged and manipulated by the media, whether you know it or not.

And yet the Clintons were gods to the rank and file democrats up until the new messiah Obama hit the scene. Now the Clintons have become evil and hated. No one can mess with the messiah.

Exactly, hepwa!
It's all a right-wing plot cooked up by Karl Rove! In fact, Rove and other Republicans were behind Clinton becoming governor of Arkansas back in the day. Then, they deviously got their Manchurian Man elected President for two terms and his wife elected Senator of New York.
Karl Rove is SO good at this stuff that he KNEW Obama would be running for President years in advance, and the whole Clinton thing was set up to derail that presidential run.
Because he's black.

I can't believe how easy it's been for the Republicans to overstate the impact of Democrat infighting. They're playing a certain segment of Obama supporters like a filler.
How is a Bill Clinton speech at the convention going to convince anyone to vote for McCain?

To all those who can't mention Obama without some snide remark about his supportings viewing him as messiah -
Kindly go fuck yourselves.
It's gotten old.
Newsflash: maybe we just prefer the way he wants to do thing to grandpa McCain and the broken Republican SOP.
That is all.

Let's put this in perspective: "Politico" is a joke in DC. A joke -- the DC equivalent of OK Magazine -- with gossipy, breathless speculation about who likes who, with no more substance than a 15-year-old girl's Myspace page.
It appeals to the low-brow, Today Show/FOX News schoolyard crowd who snicker at name-calling and who are too obtuse to understand policy debates beyond hackneyed "liberal" and
"conservative" cliches. (yes, I'm talking to you, Josh).

Hillary and Bill's "endorsement" at the convention will be tepid, at best. They will go through all the motions but will not go the distance for Obama. Why? Hillary wants to run in 2012. If Obama wins this time around he will run for a second term, delaying any Clinton run until 2016. She does not want to wait--she wanted it now, and waiting another four years has her in a hissy fit. Remember--not that long ago the nomination was hers until this "upstart" came along and denied her. That's why many of her supporters are claiming to now back McCain or are undeceided--they are just plain pissed off that Obama took away what she deemed rightfully hers and are not anxious to make amens. Its a painful comment on the disposition of her diehard supporters--people who evidentially wanted to see a woman in the White House. Period. How on earth someone who truly supports Hillary Clintons' policies can jump to McCain is beyond reason.

I'd be more than happy if this blog returned to talking about movies instead of this constant Obama/McCain drivel.

Does Jeff Wells know Politico is a right-wing smear site?
It wasn't that long ago that The Politico came on the scene, bolstered by roughly 75,000 links from Matt Drudge. They were a right-wing site, and everybody knew it, regardless of how often they denied it.
While debuting with prominent beltway pundits, The Politico quickly set the tone for what they were all about - by "breaking" the story that John Edwards received a $400 haircut.
Nowadays, The Politico seems to have given up pretense and has embraced the fact that it's a right-wing noise machine. Stories on today's front page at Politico?
-- Urban issues get short shrift ("Despite two Democratic presidential candidates with urban interests, mayors and experts say too little attention paid to them.")
-- Taxes: Obamas prospered as he soared
-- Indictment: Iraq paid for junket
-- McCain: We can't do whatever we want ("John McCain calls for more humility but a stay-the-course approach to Iraq war.")
-- Bush-haters won't stop McCain ("In an ideas column, Brown contends president isn't the albatross around McCain's neck many people think.")
-- Racial problems transcend Wright ("Voting patterns show Obama's uneven record on getting beyond race.")
-- McCain's approach to foreign policy is a unique blend
-- The Clinton myth: The backstory ("Her campaign rests on a game of make-believe.")
So really, they can say they're centrist, or non-partisan, or Independent, or Klingon, or whatever they like. But it's a right-wing Drudgian machine at its heart. And now, Yahoo News prominently features stories from The Politico, with a front-page link to the hard-hitting story "Southern Dem warns party to avert disaster," a 1,300-word epic about Tennessee governor Phil Bresden, who's certain that the Obama-Clinton battle will be doom for Democrats.

If you think the website sucks, you should see the print edition at Metro Stations. I picked it up by accident once thinking it was The Hill. Fuckkkkkkkk what a bunch of goofs.
