In response to Wilentz’s nutty “Hillary should be winning” essay in Salon.
Sean Wilentz is a Yankees fan. I am a Red Sox fan. Perhaps Sean Wilentz could write that the American League championship should go to the team with the most hits instead of the most wins, which would have made the Yankees rather than the Red Sox the real champions last year. After all, isn’t the real point of baseball to hit the ball and get on base? That’s why it’s called baseball, and not run-ball or win-ball, right? I would not find that argument convincing. Wilentz’s winner-take-all gambit is a talking point, not an argument: “If my grandmother had wheels, she would be a bus” is rarely a persuasive line of reasoning. If the rules for winning delegates and the nomination had been different, the candidates would have run different campaigns and put their resources into different places and different proportions.
Excellent! Now you’re on target!
And thanks for posting the clip. I have been puzzling over the meaning of the “milkshake” thing.

Excellent post. I linked directly from Memeorandum, which too often links to the absurd, lying, Big Ten Democrat at Talk Left (the FUNNIEST continuing Blog Lie: that that a h*** is “For Obama”) and other mental midgets like Althouse.
I used to go to Taylor Marsh for “Tales From Hillary’s Bunker” talk, but Talk Left is funnier. The guy who calls himself Big Tent is the crankiest, most insulting blogger.
And, of course, like anyone who supports Hillary, Armando spends all his time weeping over the sexist slurs against her.
Who knew that 110 Million dollars in income raised from doing favors for the powerful, total corruption, a fake marriage between two pathological liars, could all be undone by the powerful MSNBC Sexists?
Anyway, Thanks & I wish you more and more readers!
Why do people keep providing space for Wilentz to push his garbage? First his “Obama’s the racist playing the race card” drivel and now this. Enough of this guy already. What’s next for Salon, the crafty musings of Geraldine Ferraro? Forget Elton, for HRC’s next fund raiser she should take a page from Obama’s book and give away a dinner. For a $25 donation you can have dinner with Hillary, Sean, Geraldine, and Lanny Davis. It’s your own personal cantankerous Dinner for 5. Best part, unlike Obama donors who only get a lottery chance, for HRC backers just one $25 donation would probably be enough to win this prize.
Btw, I see it didn’t take tjprodamerican very long to get BTD’s number. You had to know once Bowers slammed Wilentz from the top rope a la Jimmy “Super Fly” Snooka, Armando and his whaaaambulance would come rushing to Sean’s side. Of course to BTD (which as an homage to Sanford and Son needs to stand for Big Tent Dummy) Bowers is obsessed with “Clinton hate”. And for good measure Armando’s conniption fit gratuitously adds in Josh Marshall as an evildoer. I’m sure the man who rails endlessly about hypocrisy in the blogs has never written any “Obama hate”, or seen any from blogpal Jeralyn or Talk Left soul mate Taylor Marsh.
