63. You can thank the so-called "PUMAS" for the fucked up shit going on over at MSNBC right now.
The MSNBC execs are using allegations of "bias" as their excuse for yanking Keith & Tweety out of the anchor chairs. The McCain camp obviously is responsible for some of that. But I recall seeing bullshit all over the net about how they were "so mean to Hillary and we should boycott them and demand they fire that meanie Olbermann".

Randi Rhodes was attacked rather mercilessly as well, which played a part in her departure from Air America.

Now I don't have any animosity whatsoever against someone for supporting another candidate during the primaries. Obama wasn't my first choice either. But those who played a part in the suppression of two of the few sane voices we have in the national media, that's a little harder to forgive.

And don't get me started on the Ferraro/Willie Brown/Ted Strickland types who are still abusing their positions and encouraging this "PUMA" crap. As far as I'm concerned, they have lost any right to call themselves Democrats if they can't stand up like Bill & Hillary did and get behind the nominee.
