Hire Dick Morris? Again?

I don't see in any of the stuff that was linked any evidence that Clinton "wants to pull a kamikazi action" on Obama or the Democratic Party. In fact, the Politico piece quotes Penn as saying something I would expect any campaign consultant to say about his/her candidate (which the writer at AmericaBlog seems to think shows an intent to destroy Obama. Again, I don't see it). It also says that Clinton seemed to pull back in the debate in an apparent attempt not to give the McCain campaign any ammunition to use against Obama in the general. Which doesn't seem to square with the notion that she wants to destroy Obama or the Democratic Party. Clinton still has a dim and fading chance for the nomination. It would be silly to expect her to quit before the Ohio and Texas primaries. I’m sorry.

The cruiser off the carrier's starboard bow is the same in both images -- and I'm 99% certain it's a Cleveland-class light cruiser. In fact, I'm gonna go on the record: the opening clip of the video shows the USS Essex (CV-9) being struck by a kamikaze on November 25, 1944 off the Philippines, and the cruiser off her starboard bow is the Cleveland-class USS Pasadena, CL-65. That attack killed 15 American sailors and wounded 44. Nice to see Oliver is using footage of their deaths to make his political point. Like I said, Oliver... stay classy. J.

Since messing up is what KKT does. I was joking. But now, she is shivving her candidate in public for NO reason. There is NO reason for KKT to declare her candidate dead. None, unless she is revoking an endorsement. She simply talks about the weather, or how she's pulling for Hillary, or about how the Orioles will score a few good touchdowns this year. Any vintage KKT. But if you wanted to shiv your candidate all along, what would you have done differently if you were KKT?
