When you're a Clintonite, you're a Clintonite all the way. From your first Monicagate defense, To Hil's last primary day.with apologies to Leonard Bernstein
Look next to the definition of "Clinton loyalist" in the dictionary, and you're likely to find a photo of Lanny Davis. The man who would have put Baghdad Bob to shame for his unflinching flackery during Bill's Monica mess is back on the beat for Hillary. Yesterday, Davis wrote a HuffPo column purporting to set forth 10 Undisputed Facts showing Obama's weakness as a general election candidate against John Mccain. As Jake Tapper has observed, some of those "facts" are "both disputed and not facts," including the risible notion that Hillary didn't run any negative ads. Guess the commercial featuring Osama Bin Laden slipped Lanny's mind.
Lanny was back on the job on today's Morning Joe. After repeating his claim from the HuffPo column that Obama is in a dead heat with McCain in super-blue in Massachusetts while Hillary's up by 15%, Davis took his anti-Obama argument a giant step further. Davis claimed that Barack could lose in a blow-out of epic, McGovernesque, proportions.

GMTA: check out second sentence of first paragraph after the opening “Jets” parody.
Ever try to lick a frozen metal pole during the winter only to have your tongue rigidly freeze in spot? Well, that’s Lanny Davis as Hillary’s cunning linguist.
You’re ok there, just don’t use his middle name.
The Clinton possey of Harold Ickes, Paul Begala, Lanny Davis & James Carville are riding again.
Sidney Whips Hussein.
There.
I am SO looking forward to the Denver Convention. It will be the show of the season. If it isn’t a ratings buster, then there is no hope for TV,
Poor lanny is about the only loyal weasel hillary has left, especially since sid vicious blumenthal is in the can.
Ooh, Mark, Rush just mentioned your name and this story!

No. No. No. And No.
This is not about entertainment. This is about winning. She is postured as a centrist and centrists can win the Votes That Determine Elections — namely independent moderates.
She Must Be Snuffed Out NOW. Obama must win the upcoming primaries. There must be no case for her to make in Denver.
This is not about giving FReepers a chance to sit and eat popcorn. This is about who nominates USSC justices. It is about keeping a troop presence on the 3rd largest reserves in the world. And it is about some moderation imposed on a Democrat Congress that will allow taxes to raise in 2010.
Obama cannot win the middle. McCain will if Obama is the opponent. She can win the middle because he has been parking there for weeks chasing superdelegates. She needs to be stopped and RIGHT NOW. The risk is ENORMOUS otherwise, and for what? To entertain FReepers? For Rush to swagger?
Ask Rush if it’s okay if every listener turns him off permanently if she is elected and see if he continues his effort.
Wishful thinking. It will be a very close race.
Excepting, of course, for the integrity part.
I don’t like any members of this posse, but I think they are right in their aasertion that Obama would be a weak candidate in the national election. I am praying that Obama is nominated, so that McCain will win. You don’t have to like Lanny David to concede that he has a point that HRC can get votes from old folks and white women. These two groups, particularly old folks, are willing to vote for HRC, but they’d choose McCain over Obama.
As an article in yesterday’s National Review cautioned, “Always take the Clintons seriously.”
Nice! Thanks for letting me know: I missed it cause I turned Rush off to write the item!
He said “Mark Finkelstein of NewsBusters” and then read the story. ;)
I don’t think that Snob-ama will lose 49 states, but I do think that if independents become focused on the fact that
- he is the most liberal person ever to run for president,
- is all-abortion-all-the-time,
- is a friend and aid of terrorists,
- is a black nationalist racist,
- a hater of Jews,
- a hater of Catholics,
- a hater of religion,
- an anti-gun zealot,
- and a complete economic and cultural marxist,
that he might not win as many as 15 states.
Which would be a good thing.
If you've seen Hillary's backside lately, you can see how this is possible.
If Barry O is the nominee, look for the Clinton flacks to be out there cutting him off at the knees—both covertly and overtly—so that Her Heinous can have another shot in 2012.
Hell. Lefties are already hinting around about making it a crime to be voting while a white male, judging by Nora Ephron’s recent spewings.
Nah. I want to see them both struggle and lose momentum for as long as possible. Let her make her case at the Pepsi Challenge.
