(27,814 posts)... is exactly what I meant by "the childishness being displayed here on a daily basis".
I myself have referred to Will's POSUCS rant at least a dozen times. Obama is still president, still being discussed here, so that term is still relevant to the current conversation. What WillPitt said nine years ago about a possible Rove indictment is, by no stretch of the imagination, relevant to anything that is going on right now.
Will could dish it - Will could take it. My guess is that it was the fact that someone thought it somehow important to dig up some totally irrelevant post from the past that caused him to "blow his cork" as he put it, rather than the content of that ancient post itself.
But this kind of thing is now par for the course on DU. Not a day goes by that someone isn't digging up what Bernie Sanders said thirty years ago, or what HRC did when she was in college - always looking for that "gotcha!" moment that has absolutely no relevance to anything of import, and is certainly NOT going to change anyone's mind about who they support as their candidate of choice.
