And the KKK endorses McCain over Obama. So?

For Secretary of State: Harold Koh, current Dean of Yale Law School, and former Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor under Clinton.

What is it with neocons and monogrammed towels?

A good chunk of Clinton's support comes from Limbaugh ditto-heads looking to make mess of the Dem primary.

And a good chunk are longtime Democrats who have been convinced that Obama is an elitist Muslim Black Panther. These numbers point to one thing only: Hillary's scorched earth campaign.

As for former Rhodes scholar George Stephanopoulos, the answer lies in his tell-all memoir "All Too Human." George took Monicagate as a personal betrayal, which in his mind still dwarfs any and all of the Bush administration's perfidies.

"Typical white people" are racist enough in 2008 that casting directors still recast Asian American roles with white actors on the grounds that white audiences won't pay money to see Asian Americans (particularly men) in starring roles.

Thanks for raising this point. The lack of Asian Americans at YKos and on the big blogs is especially noteworthy. It wasn't too long ago that Asian Americans were stereotyped as the ultimate nerdy computer whizzes. It's amazing how quickly they were pushed aside once the Internet became recognized as an instrument of economic, social and political power.

I called earlier and they took my phone number. They said that they were prioritizing responses because they were being inundated with calls and they only had a limited number of print and CD copies, but they would get back to me in the next few days.

How is it any better to divert donations from Florida Dems to a revote than to spend DNC funds? There's a limited amount of Dem money -- either way it's coming out of our ability to fight in November.

>The only ad we should be running against McCain
>(until we have a nominee) is one showing clips of
>McCain talking about "100 years in Iraq" and
>receiving W's endorsement.

And admitting that economics is not his strong suit. That hasn't had nearly enough airplay.
