I've become so deadened to the Clinton campaign's cries of "Well, people who didn't vote for me, um, don't count anyway! Because [ridiculous pander to her Favorite Demographic of The Hour]! Nyah!" that the comment quoted above doesn't even ping me at all.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm planning on waiting for my security deposit, and if it's anything less than my money, sending a PDF of my lease and last 6 utility bills, and asking if they'd also like the video of my ceiling caving in and filthy water pouring into my tub.
Ultimate revenge?
Selling new book with whole chapter on their suckitude.
When did you move out, Allyson. I'm sure you already know, being the smart woman you are, that they have 21 days to send you the list, otherwise you get all of it back, no matter what.
What asscakes they are.
What asscakes they are.
Seriously.
One more thing on the Clinton thing - her language made it so much worse, but I do strongly object to what I think she was trying to do. Her line is that this white working class group supports her and that that support is growing - okay. But what I think she's trying to do there is put fear in the minds of Democrats everywhere that if you put a black man up there the working class whites are going to fuck you. It's not race baiting, exactly, and it's really more offensive to the working class whites she's talking about when you get right down to it. But it's meant to play on our suspicions of each other, to convince us that the notion of a society - and a politics - that tries to change for the better is some kind of dangerous illusion. And it's this kind of insidious argument that has me so impatient for her to drop the fuck out already.
(Which, I noticed at lunch, is actually the full-page headline of the Sun Times today. Cleaned up a little, anyway.) [link]
I'm trying to convince my SiL to send my smarty pants niece to pre-school (she's 3 and super smart). Can anyone point me to literature to send her way extolling the virtues of pre-school?
But does this sound as bad others as it does to me?
Yes, it does. And for the first time in this campaign, I'm sorry that I voted for her in the primary.
As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again,
So his support is now among the lazy, shiftless, black welfare queens?
I don't believe for a second that she misspoke, just as I don't believe that Obama misspoke back when he made that sexist "periodically when she's feeling down" comment about her.
It's just that....damn, Hillary's comment sounds so much worse than Obama's did, because his comment was only about her, and Hillary's comment is about a vast swath of Americans.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is what ends her campaign.
But what I think she's trying to do there is put fear in the minds of Democrats everywhere that if you put a black man up there the working class whites are going to fuck you. It's not race baiting, exactly
No, I'd call it exactly race-baiting.
No, I'd call it exactly race-baiting.
Or more precisely, race-baiting AND class-baiting in two different directions. Two offenses for the price of one.
I don't see how it isn't over for Clinton, she'd have to pretty much have a really big win in every primary left and that's not going to happen. It's about time for Obama running mate speculation.
