Yeah, reckon I set myself up for that one...

Good thing I didn't mention something about them being a pain-in-the-ass too, because that conjures up a pretty nasty mental image. haha...

I've written some pretty bombastic anti-Clinton tirades, which makes this extremely thoughtful post all the more important.

Emotions are running high right now, so thanks for being one of the adults in the room! We're going to need people like you to help reconcile the party at the grassroots when this is all over.

I meant, "the menopause and Schlitz set." My apologies for the error in my condescending and sexist quip...

"Menopause and Schlitz set", I mean.

One small problem with your argument: Hispanics now favor Obama (see link below). A similar Gallup poll also finds him now leading among Asian-Americans too. Seems to me that the core of Hillary's support is the 'menopause and Schlitz.' Perhaps she can resurrect her campaign by pledging to provide discount smokes and teacup cosis for all.

I ask you all to consider the severe economic damage likely to occur to our nation’s daytime talk show industry should Kentucky and West Virginia be ceded to Mexico. It’s a well-known fact that the Jerry Springer sector of the economy has been in constant decline since the 90s. Rumor has it that the Chinese are investing heavily in this sector and that “Mr. Chou’s Disharmonious Family Hour” is quickly gaining worldwide viewership!

PLEASE, THINK OF THE TALK SHOW HOSTS!

You're forgetting one teeny-tiny fact: Clinton's campaign chair, Terry McAuliffe, was one of the chief architects of the plan which stripped MI & FL or their convention delegates. Way back when Clinton was 'inevitable' McAuliffe had this to say to Sen. Carl Levin on Michigan when he proposed moving up the primary dates: "If I allow you to do that, the whole system collapses," I said. "We will have chaos. I let you make your case to the DNC, and we voted unanimously and you lost."

Are you thinking of Gen. Anthony Zinni? If he could be coaxed into it, he may be a very interesting choice. He's a retired 4-star Marine general, former commander of CENTCOM and former Special Envoy to the Israel/Palestinian Authority?

Wes Clark is a political hack and unreconstructed Clintonite.

I can't upload an avatar either and I've tried using Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer.

I've emailed the TPM webmaster, but haven't gotten any response.

For the meantime, it looks as if our avatars will continue to resemble elusive criminals on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list.
