Better surrogate than Bill Clinton! I like the sound of that.

1. Good diary. Too much bitterness and

sour grapes over the endorsement. Guess you can't please everyone. :(


I noticed no-one replies to Jail the BFEE's posts. (crickets) Go Figure.

2. several did

One explicitly thanked her

3. My guess is that her posts become more believable

as people become disenchanted with Bill Clinton.

Democrats nominated him even though we already knew that his first impluse when challenged on something was a self serving lie and to scapegoat whoever was their to scapegoat - in happened on the draft story and it happened on Gennefer Flowers. That's who he is. I think as we see more examples of BC lying or losing his temper, they will add to a point that more people will see the type of man he is.

He is brilliant and can be spell binding, but if I get so the first word in that permanently horse voice is already chalk on the black board. The strange thing is that some think part of his motivation in wanting HRC as President was to repair his image. It hasn't work so far.

I really can't believe that he angrily came out for that lawsuit.

5. He almost lost it on Tom Joyner the other day

He was very defensive towards news anchor Jacqui Reid. He kept tellng her "wait a minute, wait a minute." It was scary. Ms. Reid was very respectful towards him but I don't think they bought it. Tom's sidekick J. Anthony Brown joked that maybe we made a mistake of calling him "The First Black President." :rofl:

6. Well, as whome wrote me, you learn a lot about a person when

(I'm paraphrasing wildly here) they're up against a wall. (I loved Brown's comment!)

4. I went back and noticed that

and commented in the diary as well. Good ones this evening. :)

7. This was an especially poignant comment, talking about

when Kerry lost the election:

Well, I was depressed, (20+ / 0-)

too. I cried too, cried all night and mopped at my eyes, and slept most of the next day.

Kerry, on the other hand, went right on serving his country and doing a damn fine job of it.

I try to make a habit of finding people to admire and focusing on their abilities and their courage, rather than spend my days whining, because Superman has not shown up on the horizon.

I even suspect that's why so many resent our enthusiasm for Obama,
and call him (and us) silly names. They are looking for a Superman, so they accuse us of doing so. It's all they know. I don't know if that sort of things comes from reading too many comic books, or extending one's cartoon watching days well into adulthood.

In either case, their expectations won't be satisfed with anything less than a man who can stop bullets and leap tall buildings. Well, good luck with that, people.

I am going to put my hopes on real men (and women) who have shown their dedication to democratic principles by devoting themselves to the service of their country. .

John Kerry is a better man than any of his detractors. We could all learn a lesson from the way he has accepted advesity. He has always taken the high road, was always willing to speak out against wrongs, and has continued to serve his country admirably.

Be a hope monger.
