Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

In the New York Times today, Clintonista James Carville calls Bill Richardson's endorsement of Obama "an act of betrayal." "Mr. Richardson's endorsement came right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold out for 30 pieces of silver, so I think the timing is appropriate, if ironic," Carville said.

Maybe RightisRight is, well, right after all and the Democratic nomination contest is turning comical. I am sure that McCain is laughing his ass off.

"100 more years, 100 more years!"

Yeah, keep figting Dems so we get 100 more years of war, go ahead, bash each other to bits.

And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. That pretty much sums up the battle going on right now between the old guard of the party represented by the Clintons, and the new generation represented by Obama.

As Carville so aptly demonstrates, the old guard values personal loyalty over following one's conscience and choosing to do the right thing. And we've had 8 years of the Bush Administration to illustrate how well that generally works out.

"I am sure that McCain is laughing his ass off."

Probably. But within a minute or 2 he will have forgotten why he's laughing.

The Congressionial Players present:

A Passionfuit Play

with:


Nancy Pelosi as Mary "Ho" Magdalene

Bill Richardson as Judas

Harry Reid as Pompous Pilate

Barack Obama as Present

And featuring Lil' Al Gore as Baby Jesus

And Bush would be the Emperor of Rome at the time, whoever that is. And Rome of course, would be like America.

Cheer up, as they'll need some one to play the Emperor's Piss Boy. Casting says you're in.

James Carville: "Richardson like Judas"

Deth Spud: "Carville like Skeletor!"

...Or the guy in the mask in them "Scream" movies.

Seriously, most psuedo pundits are "talking heads" but Spud calls Carville a "talking skull".

Carville was the guy, if you'll remember, who was one of the traitorous shit-heads who wrote letters to Judge Reggie Walton in the Scooter Libby case asking for leniency.

JUNE 5--Donald Rumsfeld, Henry Kissinger, Paul Wolfowitz, and John Bolton top the list of individuals who wrote a federal judge on behalf of former White House aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby, who was sentenced today to 30 months in prison for lying to investigators and a federal grand jury examining the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity. On the following 30 pages you'll find an assortment of letters from former colleagues and friends of Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff. The letters, which do not include a missive from Cheney himself, were filed this morning in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.. Included in the correspondence is a letter on former Cheney aide Mary Matalin's stationery which is signed by her and husband James Carville, the Democratic strategist. Others writing on Libby's behalf included Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Richard Perle, former Pentagon adviser; James Woolsey, ex-CIA director; Douglas Feith, former Under Secretary of Defense; Christopher Cox, ex-congressman and current Securities and Exchange Commission chairman; Leon Wieseltier, literary editor of The New Republic; former Richard Nixon counsel Leonard Garment; former U.S. Senator Alan Simpson; former Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky; former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Richard Myers; and Dr. Anthony Fauci, a National Institutes of Health official.

If Richardson is Judas, who is Jesus? Bill or Hillary?

Answer: Hillary. She is hoping to rise again and ascend to the nomination. She'll need help from the SD, who are God in this analogy.

I think that's Corky!!

The Republican race was made up by an agnostic, a Mormon, a lapsed Catholic, and a Baptist minister.

Yet who would've thought that all the fun in the religious sphere would be had by the Dems? Obama's crazy, lunatic pastor, Hillary's Bible studies, Carville's "Judas" metaphors, even an Obama supporter on the DR changing his handle from "Boyd" to "Messiah". Hilarious.

Godalmighty. Where are the atheists going to throwing their votes this time?

Lemme help Gal. The Democrats have been wandering in the wilderness for many years, chafing under the control of evil far-away rulers. They expect their Messiah to come and deliver us from the clutches of the neocons; provide us free medical care and abortions; throw the evil rich in prison and take all they have and give to the poor; and bring eternal life and eternal peace.

Problem is, both Hillary and Obama have promised to do so. Thus, the conundrum. I fully expect one or the other of them to make it obvious who the annointed One is by declaring, "One comes after me, the sandal of Whom I am unworthy to tie."--and THAT person will become VEEP.

The scriptures are unclear as to what causes it. We'll find out in Denver, I guess. Along with the foaming-at-the-mouth the Hillary supporters suffer from--demon possession, maybe?--and the hypnotic trances that seem to befall Obama audiences. At least the white ones.

Well, I'm heading out for ribs at the Saucy Q and I'll be right back, so don't go away and. . .

Wait. What I meant to say was, "Upon this hour I departeth nigh to consume filthy swine. But the servants knoweth not when the master shall return, and must keep their lamps lit and slumbereth not. For if the master returneth and findeth his servants at slumber, they will be cast into the outer darkness."

So tell me Zap---which believer in a superstitious, connived, manipulated religious "faith" will you be pulling the lever for? Obama or Hillary?

Carville is just pissed he didn't switch to Obama three months ago.

Anyone from RIR to Gore if they give her the 'definitive' endorsement.

I'm thinking she might pick her fellow "Family" member and Coe-conspirator: Senator Nelson from FL.

I wouldn't dare stand in the way of the comedy tour that is this absurd Democratic primary. We have Obama's people furious and demanding investigations as to why his passport information was queried at the State Department, only to learn the next day that the CEO was his intelligence advisor. We have the party that has complained ad nauseum about the disinfranchisement of Florida in 2000, only to disenfranchise them again in 2008, and Michigan besides. We have inflammatory speeches out of Obama's pastor going back years, only to learn today that some of them weren't even original rants--a 70-year-old cut-and-paster. We have Hillary's main supporter in New York going down in a prostitution scandal, and Obama's main supporter in Illinois apparently a con man. And now, Bill Clinton's chief political strategist is calling Bill Clinton's Energy Secretary and first-ever Hispanic cabinet appointee a "Judas".

And this was all in ONE WEEK!!! And just in time for the SNL writers, back at work.

Zap,

I think she would have picked McCain except for the fact that he'd running against her. ;-)

RIR,

One small note: I think Hillary's main supporter in NY is Schumer.

Still believing in Bush puts you in a commanding lead..

If Hillary did pick Nelson, they could use the theme song: We are Family! We got all our prayer warriors for free!



Does it seem strange that none of the three have chosen a running mate?

Richardson would make a great VP. And of Clinton gets the nomination I suggest she chooses him anyway.

Admittedly wild speculation, but I'm thinking offered and rejected.

"Does it seem strange that none of the three have chosen a running mate?"

Here's a blast from the past:

"The little brown ones. Jebbie's the big one in the yellow shirt saying the pledge of allegiance tonight."
Anyone one remember to which running mate that was directed?

Why is voting one's conscience or endorsement an act of betrayal? geez. He stuck with the same party at least!

Why are you people talking as if Hillary is going to get the nomination?

William Wallace: A lordship and titles. Gold. That I should become Judas?


He fits the bill for both with his experience gained on the BC dime by the way. He did say while still in the campaign that homosexuality was a choice ... JMC are you listening. That said he would be in HC or BO administration in some capacity

Should be ...
That said he would be in a HC or BO administration in some capacity until the BO endorsement.

BADAOPHAY

LOYALTY ... some would say that's the problem in the present administration.

......for you slow learners, Carville was the classic Dem party tool that ratcheted up the politics of destruction. Funny that you are now just starting to figure that out. Expected of DudSpud(tm) though. Eat your own suckers.

"I don't believe President Clinton was implying that," the former Clinton cabinet member Richardson said of the allegation that Bill Clinton was questioning Obama's patriotism.

He's not Judas, he's defending BC after endorsing BO ... does he think there's a chance as HC VEEP

Recounted the silver in his pocket back to hitting HC's campaign

On the other hand, Richardson strongly responded to James Carville's comparison of Richardson endorsing Obama to Judas Iscariot selling out Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. "I'm not going to get in the gutter like that," Richardson said. "And you know, that's typical of many of the people around Senator Clinton. They think they have a sense of entitlement to the presidency."

...........OPEN LETTER TO HILLARY.........

........if you love America...............

........then get behind Obama now, or get out of the way.......

.......America will not forgive you for putting your selfish ambitions ahead of the common good........

LOYALTY does not belong to a person, but to the things they stand for.

The Clintons and their supporters like Carville have shown this year that their idea of loyalty is all about THEM, and nothing else.

And at the same time I seriously believe that Bill Clinton knows damned well in his heart of hearts that Obama is a better candidate than Hillary. That may be exactly why he says the opposite so often.

So?

FF! make that"ENTITLEMENTS"

Carville is typical of Billary supporters, willing to say and do anything to get Hillary Clinton elected. If Hillary Clinton had to get elected on her own without being the first lady (which does not count as experience in my book)she would have only got no where. She has the former President Bill Clinton's team supporting her and is a weak candidate. She lies, which we are now finding out after the release of her papers and I am calling for a Ohio re-do after she lied to the lunch bucket blue collar workers of that state telling them she was anti-NAFTA when her papers show she was in multiple meetings supporting it. Her trustworthiness is questionsable and has failed my Commander-in-Chief test. Go Obama 08.

Carville looks like Billary, untrustworthy and to make such a off the collar and stupid remark just shows how jealous Hillary is of Obama's success. Now what Obama needs to do is name Richardson his VP running mate prior to the Penn primary to gain on Hillary. His personality is very electric and would lend itself to gaining many votes on the stump.

whoa...& not give Lieberman a chance?

whoops ~ wrong candidate:>)


Will Joe Lieberman be John McCain's Assisted Living Caretaker and Vice-President as They Bomb Iran?
In case you've been so caught up in the battle royale of the Democratic primaries, Joe Lieberman has been escorting John McCain around Iraq and Israel, acting as his assisted living caretaker.
Not only has Lieberman once or twice bailed McCain out of his confusion between Sunnis and Shiites, he most recently saved McCain from his equating the Jewish Holiday of Purim with Halloween while jaunting around Israel.

Joe (The "I" stands fer Israel) Loserman playing Cheney to McCain's Chimpy?

Blech. Think I just threw up a little in the back of my throat.

Watching McCain brain melt as he dotters down the campaign trail is scary PLUS!

Crap on a cracker! At least Zombie Reagan made it to the end of his first term before turning into a brain dead meat puppet. McCain may not even make it to November before losing his faculties entirely.

Of course, he is older than Reagan was when he ran and he did spend 6 1/2 years being tortured daily by folks he still refers to as "gooks".

That might begin to explain his mental decline right there.

Do. Not. Want.

Be Well.

Final nail? I can't wait! Please! Bring it on!

"If I had a hammer"

Judas wants to be Vice President.

When Al Gore lost the election he grew a beard.

Judas (Bill Richardson) bowed out of the race and grew a beard.

Symbol for Losers?

If Richardson is Judas, who is Jesus? Bill or Hillary?

We all can admit that it is a STRETCH to call Richardson Judas...
...but I have a theory for who would be the "Jesus" character in this analogy.

First, I must explain the creepiest place I ever visited: the museum of the Inquisition in Lima, Peru. There were various statues set up in the varying ways that people were tortured and executed. But the main trial room, set up similarly to a modern court room (prosecutor's table, defendant's table), had a wooden statue of a "cristo falso" ("false Jesus") that would *nod* if the person was guilty of what they were charged with, and the verdict was based soley on that. There were NEVER any recorded times were the "falso cristo" did anything other that nod "yes" in favor of execution. They insisted that it was not a "puppet." (cue creepy music)

I think Bill and Hillary together are modern day demonic "cristo falsos."

Maybe dem fanatics should look up "providence" in the classical sense and consider that it is happening right now in 2008 in the US political realm.

Maybe I'm a man of faith that can't or won't turn it off, but this election defies almost ANY typical description. SOMETHING is afoot.

Hillary Clinton cannot win the Democratic nomination for president. The numbers tell the story. Even with robust victories in Pennsylvania, Indiana, West Virginia and Kentucky, Hillary will trail Obama in popular votes and pledged delegates as they enter the convention hall in Denver.

Any other candidate would have been shamed into dropping out long ago. But these are the Clintons and they have no shame. In order to realize her vaulting ambition, Hillary must mortally wound Obama as candidate in the fall race against John McCain so that she can run against McCain in 2012.
Down in Mark Penn's dark computer lab, the data culled from pulse polls and focus groups probing the hidden prejudices in the psyche of white America are being packed like shrapnel into political landmines set for Obama: he's unpatriotic, he's un-Christian, he's a Palestinian symp and, yes, he's black. That's three strikes and one head shot. Exploitation of racial panic is second nature to the power couple Ishmael Reed calls Ma and Pa Clinton.

That's the logic of triangulation. The daisy-cutter tactics of Hillary's current campaign might be called pre-emptive triangulation. The Clintons enrich themselves politically by looting the ruins of their own party.

Look how swiftly her campaign knee-capped her friend Bill Richardson. After working sedulously for Richardson's endorsement only to lose out to Obama, Mark Penn dismissed the governor as "irrelevant." On Good Friday, Clinton intimate James Carville denounced Richardson as "a Judas."
Clinton believes she must destroy the party in order to save it-for herself.

The Clinton 90s was a time when the economic chasm in America between the rich and everyone else deepened and widened profoundly, under the command of Alan Greenspan and Wall Street maestro Robert Rubin, and the social safety nets protecting the most vulnerable among us where shorn in the name of political pragmatism. The Clintons evoke a nostalgia for a time that never was. If you require objective confirmation of the economic enervation unleashed by the Clinton program consult Contours of Descent, economist Robert Pollin's brilliant dissection of that dismal era.
