Channeling Maureen Dowd are you?

I think you're wrong. I checked and there isn't actually anything in the DNC rules specifically forbidding the poisoning of delegates, though a senior party official not affiliated with either campaign noted that it would be considered to be "extremely bad form."

Late update from camp Obama:

We would absolutely not use these sorts of tactics. Furthermore, while we hope that it won't come down to this, Senator Obama believes that judgment and youthful agility are more important than experience in rochambeau.

Clinton has been winning rochambeau tournaments in Washington D.C. since her days in the White House, and a former Bill Clinton staffer has confirmed that she was granted a secret cabinet position as head of the shadowy R.S.P.A. with the official title of Rochambeau-Masta! The intrade markets have been showing significant movement towards Clinton due to the growing expectation that Democratic race may ultimately be decided by hand gestures.

Bravo! Bravo!

We need to set up a Delegate bunker in Colorado with MREs... Protect the Alternates!

That's a smile, Genghis. :)

BevD, I tried to show you respect and earnestly explain why I believe that satire is important, but you reacted with venom and bile, and so...

Yes, you are correct, it was a dirty, underhanded, unconscionable hit piece against Hillary Clinton, paid for in fact by the vast right-wing conspiracy that seeks to discredit, disdain, and dismember Democrats the world over. Laurajordan is wrong about me. I hate Hillary Clinton from the depths of the black shard of coal that is my heart, and I have pledged not to rest until she has been obliterated. My intention was to make it seem as if I were ridiculing the charge that Clinton was planning to steal Obama's delegates while furtively planting in people's minds the possibility that she really does plan to poison his delegates, defeat his paper with her scissors, and eat his children. (I didn't mention the eating children part, but I knew that people would read through the lines.) And I would have gotten away with it too, had you not valiantly exposed my scheme to the world, or at least to the 3 people still following this thread, one of whom is my mom unless she's gone to bed already, in which case it would be 2 people.

Not only have you exposed me. Your righteousness and purity has converted me. I now realize that I have caused great sadness to Hillary Clinton, her advisers, and a zany poster named workerbee, and I hereby repent. From now on, I will heap nothing but earnest praise on all Democrats, who, I must now admit, can do no wrong. I will join you in your quest to expose all humor as a tool of Machiavellian malintent, except for the immortal Family Circus and a few early Cosby Show episodes. When you write your promised hit piece against the fiendishly fiendsome laurajordan, I will submit comment after comment that says "Ha laurajordan ha" and "LOL" even though I won't actually be laughing out loud because I don't do that anymore. If I am still tempted to chuckle at a witticism by Maureen Dowd, I will bite my tongue, or Maureen Down's tongue, whichever is closest, and I won't release it until the urge has passed or the tongue has been severed, whichever comes first. If I am still tempted to chuckle after my tongue and Maureen Dowd's tongue have both been severed, then I don't know what I'll do. A man has only so many tongues. But I hope that you will appreciate the gesture.

Phew. This righteousness is hard work. I hope that you have a nice night and I look forward to more inspirational posts from you.

PS laurajordan, thanks for your support. I'll send you your check later.

PPS Thank you, Wisconsin.
