  • Note that she called him Senator Obama, rejected his sitdown with Iran diplomacy, and referred to drastic measures needed when dealing with that country, which, however obliquely, recalls her obliteration position.
    Just saying.

  • And little Hans himself deserves some investigation. Atleast by his bar (GA, and one other state), for moral turpitude, for, if I remember correctly, falsely signing a colleague's name after the colleague had left the DoJ and something about a specious law review article. It's here in TPM archives somewhere.
    Shld be on the list of DOJ prosecutables? What do you think?

  • Senator I write from your Blue State, with a message for you to forward to the BO campaign.

    Many believe that the "American Senator" was Wm. Borah, but the Knesset was supposed to think of Sen. Obama. Borah is well known to historians of antisemitism for another quote.

    "I'm like *Hitler* when it comes to the *Jews*" (Leonard Dinnerstein, /Antisemitism in America,/ 1994, p. 119.)

    So Bush was calling BO an appeaser and an anti-Semite, to a mainly Jewish audience.

    We're not finished. Borah's quote may be spurious, the only source for it is hearsay, according to an online conversation between historians.


    I have sourced this information and sent it to a member of the NE Coordinating Committee for BO, but if you could pass the word along, I, and the historical record, would be much obliged.

  • I agree he is a superstar and, since his revelations about the secret DOJ memos undoing Marbury v. Madison ("if you feel less american now, you are right," he more or less said) a godsend to the protection of the rule of law.

    I admire him, with a quibble. Perhaps someone can explain this event that I found out of character.

    From the start of the USA hearings, he has been talked about as a potential AG here in the BlueBayState and probably in his own "Hope" state (yes, incredibly, that's the RI motto).

    He is a firm Clinton supporter, because, I believe he says, BC gave him his political start by appting him as a USA. And if he is aspiring to be AG, his support makes perfect sense. I can respect that.

    What I don't respect is his support and appreciation for HC's "celestial choir" mocking of Obama just before he RI primaries.
    He was seated right behind her, and perhaps that was a constraint. Still, as a freshman member of a body whose m.o. is comity, surely he owed his fellow freshman a bit more respect than the flat out giggles he gave that remark.

    As a former prosecutor and a pol, he must have the where with all to control his facial expression.

  • ..and find individuals who taped the call willing to take them to court as NC statue allows. What is needed is a really good trial lawyer who cares about the poor in NC. Hmm.

    Seriously, if Elizabeth Edwards is read this, I am wondering how they can stand by and listen to Hillary bless the rich on Fox, while individuals close to her--and I mean staffers, not Board members, are willfully confusing the poor of NC.

    Can someone explain the Edwards' m.o./position to me?
    Glad at least to see Josh is no longer convinced there was no previous illegality.

  • All you former Edwards supporters, have you any suggestions/contacts?
    Coming on the same day as Hil's blessing of the rich on Fox, the Edwards can't but see that their concern for rich/poor differences is being stomped on by Hil and a group very obviously associated with Clinton operators.

    They may be the very trial lawyers (if she is still practicing given the situation) needed by those individual looking for compensation for the already declared illegal robo-calls!

  • From Daily Kos, the opinion of an experienced organizer of Voter Registration Drives demonstrates the unlikeliness of any such organizer/group making the errors they have made, and making them repeatedly.

    http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/4/30/205510/629/795/506698

    Some of these points are 'weedy', others pretty self-evident and have occurred to others here. I have to wonder therefore why TPM was willing to give them a pass earlier today... Josh are you reading us?

  • Readers of this site expect you to be breaking stories, not reporting on the spin it has been given. We will give you a pass, for two reasons:

    1. Easter holiday, and you guys certainly deserve a break.

    2. You are still way ahead of the New York Times, when the space of my writing this post,finally got on the story.

    Posted at March 24, 2008 4:43 PM in response to Hillary Campaign: She "Misspoke" About Bosnia Sniper Incident

  • As it has been said elsewhere.

    We have all been on planes where we have been instructed on what to do in the event of an emergency landing. Does not mean that we get to say we were in one? The speaker was and is HRC's speech writer, and may well be the author of the comment she is defending on spurious grounds of might have been.

    Please HRC's supporters, see the damage she is doing to the entire party and ticket. Cf. my post here, where I said:

    "For our possible majority, this is a disaster.
    A candidate who cannot distinguish between a friendly greeting ceremony and sniper fire and is allowed to say so by her military adviser, a former Secretary of the Army can only serve the Republican talking point that the Democratic party is incapable of leading the country in time of war.

    It is time that the superdelegates cease to allow her to embarrass herself and divide and damage the party any further than she has."
