Top Obama adviser David Axelrod got an earful of the liberal blogosphere's anger at the White House moments ago, when a blogger on a conference call directly called out Axelrod over White House criticism of the left, accusing the administration of "hippie punching."
"We're the girl you'll take under the bleachers but you won't be seen with in the light of day," the blogger, Susan Madrak of Crooks and Liars, pointedly told Axelrod on the call, which was organzied for liberal bloggers and progressive media[...]
Madrak replied that Axelrod was missing the point -- that the criticism of the left made it tougher for bloggers like herself to motivate the base. "Don't make our jobs harder," she said.
"Right back at'cha. Right back at'cha," Axelrod replied, a bit testily, an apparent reference to blogospheric criticism of the administration.
At any rate, for Axelrod to plead with liberal bloggers for their help turning out the base, only to get accused of "hippie punching," is an iconic moment in Campaign 2010.
Didn’t Einstein define insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result?
Thanks LSM for vetting Axelrod, Obama, Rahm and Valerie Jarrett before the election. If we only knew then what we know now. . .

Oh my! I doubt even Billy J Clinton would hit that.
As George Carlin, who was comparing Bubba to JFK, once said, “At least JFK made it with Marilyn Monroe. Bill Clinton did it with a GOVERNMENT CLERK, for cryin’ out loud”, or words to that effect.
Yea, 23 % of the electorate needs some more candy.
We need to get over to DU, Daily Kos and HuffPuff and start advocating for a Tea Party like uprising from the left.
I wouldn’t, um, do that, um, thing with, um, Clinton’s diseased, um, thing, yuk.
*runs for shower*
IOW "useful idiots"
Uhh.... have you looked in the mirror lately, hon? Not many guys would be seen in the light of day with a horse like you.
