Ablogination

You gotta love it. The boy can rant.
And as per usual, Keith Olberman is spot on….

This particular “Special Comment” struck me as being as heart felt as any. Personally, I have a problem with Keith trying to give Hillary an open door to walk out of on the race issue, but he has his feelings and I have to respect them. He is a big fan of the Clintons.

Keith goes off on Geraldine Ferraro like he usually goes off on Bush and Cheney, and well he should. In a blistering indictment of the Republican Lite of the Democratic party Keith explains that Ferraro is a disgusting person and always has been. Her racist commentary goes back decades and is largely the kind of rhetoric that reflects ignorance more than racial pride or political hate.
The Comment is not a condemnation of Hillary Clinton, it’s a call to her from someone who presumably is a friend to denounce strongly the hate speech of Ferraro. Something she has not done.
It’s a well earned condemnation of Hillary’s campaign staff which may be the worst excuse for a supporting cast since Men Without Hats made the Safety Dance video.
Don’t get me wrong. I personally believe that Hillary has lost this race on her own demerit, but Keith’s point still has much validity. She has not stood up and asserted with clarity and conviction that the America of the Democratic Dream is no place for petty judgment of others based on anything other than individual merit.
She is simply not reinforcing the hope for tomorrow.

Keith also mentions something I’ve alluded to in many postings both here and on other blogs, there is a pattern of activity and speech that suggests an arrogant, selfish, holier-than-thou attitude about both Clintons and especially their vile staff. Penn, Billy Boy, Terry Mcauliffe, Ferraro…
These people know only politics as usual and any fool can see that this country is tired of exactly that.
The politics of personal destruction don’t work as well as they did before.

So thanx, Keith. Your clarity, as usual, is most refreshing.

Now if you could tell Obama to stuff a sock in his Preacher’s mouth, that would be good too.
