One of the reasons they don't do 'nuance' is their conviction that we're a bunch of idiots.
Norman Mailer just last night railed about 52% of Americans being stupid. Now while he has a point, statistically speaking, i.e., IQ's Gaussian distribution, he--and the rest of the leftist elitists miss the point.
Their fundamental error: They are too arrogant and dim-witted to understand that the demagogic process in this fiberoptic age isn't about counting spun heads; it's about not discounting circumambient brains.
While I agree that it is conceivable that the clinton agitprop machine and clinton corruption can overcome hillary's incompetence, repulsiveness, baggage and lethal danger, I disagree that a certain subgroup of Ds are not genuinely and strongly against her candidacy.
what these people -- Geffen, Ivins, Maher et al. -- have in common is that they care about their party; they know that hillary clinton is poison.
fyi
One thing about Richardson that may be a disqualifier: he exudes softness--not the sort of affect people want in wartime.
It will be interesting just how the media covers the newsbreaking story tonight about him. Could be a big one - it would be a big one if it were a Republican story!!!
$3.? million spent in new created/made-up State jobs.
The press does love him but I don't think anything remotely female sells during wartime. (See excerpt (above) from 'HILLARY'S COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF PROBLEM.')
Was the story mentioned? I didn't hear it, but then, I skipped TV last night. ;)
week-end bump
