So what happens when Blackwater finds higher bidders from China and the House of Saud?

That's a powerful list of shunning-type moves.

You know what would be awesome? If after doing all that other shunning, Obama's final shun would be the brush-off.

Obama brushing off Farrakhan would totally rock.

The good professor's post brings to mind the question that while yes, Mrs. Clinton remains a playa despite the most potent propaganda money can buy, has she displayed the gumption to pwn the mighty wingnut machine? Any one-liner, riposte or comeback to ridicule the cretins? None that I've noticed.

Jon Stewart, Glenn Greenwald, Digby, Atrios and many more have created a vast repository of terse anti-wingnut rhetorical ordnance, fat and juicy for the picking. Why, a few phrases from M. Bérubé's above post would serve.

Alas, Hillary, like most in her position, fear their own instinct for original speech. Meanwhile, Obama has been zinging McCain to where the poor old coot can barely react the tracer.

An Obama-McCain debate is a dream come true. A Clinton-McCain debate will be yet another national embarrassment of irrelevant careful-talk.

I can narcissistically generalize as well as JG any ol' day:
Tourists are spoiled and self-centered, and whereever they go they want everything to be just like home.
Travelers are looking for experience and adventure, and welcome ambiguity.
JG's post proves that conservatives are tourists, liberals are travelers.
