PBS Democratic Debate 2

– Dems on Katrina: could this question possibly be any easier? Remotely?
– Outsourcing is bad. We need American jobs. Water is wet. Friction, damn it. Dodd, use that giant hair and hammer someone with it.
– If there’s a winner so far it’s HRC. But its kind of like Martyball - you hold the ball when you have the lead and don’t make any sudden moves.

– And that’s it. Game over. I’ll look around and see if there’s anything interesting up here.

– I’m a couple steps away from spin alley. I will never understand why any journalist would go to “spin alley” in search of a story. They might as well call it Spoonfed Drive.

– Up close, Chris Dodd’s hair is as pretty as you think it is.

– I’m always amazed by guys like Bill Richardson — because they look just like how they look on tv.

– If there’s ever a movie of Jesse Jackson Jr.’s life, Cuba Gooding will play him. For some reason I’ve now seen both of them in real life (I saw Cuba buying dog food when I lived in L.A.).

– It should be noted for the record that Dennis Kucinich is the only candidate who came by the bloggers to press the flesh, along with his wife Elizabeth who positively towers over him.

– To be honest I did have a moment where I went OMG IT’S CLARENCE PAGE!!!!

– The handlers Mike Gravel had around him were just the kind of guys you would think would follow Mike Gravel around. A little… off.

– I also saw David Axelrod (Obama’s campaign manager), who was talking to Matthew Sheffield from Newsbusters, so if a phony story about Axelrod comes out I will have witnessed its beginnings

– Oddly enough I talked religion with Lashawn Barber. She doesn’t have fangs or anything, but she’s totally wrong on everything. She likes Tancredo though, and I can get behind that!

    Uh, no. She’s not winning, at least not on tee-vee. Obama is, as far as I can tell. She had one good sound bite, and Obama’s had at least 3.

    The debate was eloquent on important issues, but boring because just about everyone agreed on every issue … Dem Debate: High on Eloquence Low on Debate

    ” Dem Debate: High on Eloquence Low on Debate’

    Thats because the Kool-Aiders control the purse strings and the moderates know they all have to sound like Ward Churchill to pass muster. Then like Kerry in 04, once with the nomination, they will tack back towards the left centre and the yahoos will be left holding the bag again (along with their LaMont posters): the people get to keep more of their own money (no rollback of the Bush tax cut) and we don’t surrender in Iraq (at best, Hilary has committed to an 8-year timetable).

    Would that be the same Lamont who won 60% of the Democratic vote, and only lost because 70% of the Republicans abandoned their own candidate to vote for Lieberman?

    Oh Dugger, your analyses are always so penetrating and objective.

    Hey Wilbur, Dugger is trying to make the best of a bad situation by scaring us about how right wing a Hillary presidency/Democratic Senate/Democratic House is going to be for us BDS sufferers. He having enough trouble as it is, no need to be cruel to that hateful, blinkered good ole boy.

  6. Gravatar Icon 6 Dugger

    Yes, that LaMont, Wilbur. I understand Sen Joe Lieberman (’the lions in their dens tremble at his approach’) scourge of the left wing blogosphere, may hire him as a page.

    “Oh Dugger, your analyses are always so penetrating and objective.”

    Yes, I think you are right, there.

    It does seem like all Hillary has to do to be declared the winner of any debate is just be consistent and sound like she knows what she’s talking about. Another candidate could give better responses, but she’d still get declared the winner by the media, because she didn’t fart into the mike.

    because she didn’t fart into the mike.

    And if she had done it, her spinners would just say she was “speaking truth to power” or some such twaddle.

    We traded business cards. Nyah nyah.

    Yes, I think you are right, there.

    I know you do. That’s what’s so utterly pathetic about it.

    And if she had done it, her spinners would just say she was “speaking truth to power” or some such twaddle.

    No, they’d just say that there is more intelligence and policy sense in one of Hillary’s farts than there is in the collective brains of the entire Republican party.

    And that would be speaking the truth. Maybe not speaking truth to power, but certainly speaking truth to pinheads.

    I am beyond sick of the placating. Hillary gives an obvious comment about aids and the people go wild. Had O done that he would have been painted to look like Sharpton.

    The race baiting and creating division needs to STOP.

    nice clear and concise wrap up… had to post because I love the title “Like Kryptonite to Stupid.” Kudos sir, kudos.
