Rube Goldberg, Meet Rush Limbaugh
Primetime Politics ^ | 3/7/08 | E.J. Dionne, Jr.

Posted on 03/07/2008 9:06:32 AM PST by moderatewolverine

There they go again. Democrats have contrived a nominating contest that even Rube Goldberg would have considered too convoluted, too dysfunctional and too improbable to name as his own.

The happiest people in the country right now are Hillary Clinton and Rush Limbaugh—Clinton because she has survived, and Limbaugh, because he’s eager for the contest to go on so Barack Obama can be “bloodied up.” Talk about a vast and unexpected conspiracy.

Oh, yes, and John McCain is chuckling, too. His obligatory meeting with President Bush on Wednesday produced videotape far more likely to be used by Democrats than by Republicans, given Bush’s standing as this era’s Herbert Hoover.

But the McCain news was eclipsed by stories about Democratic hand-wringing, learned explanations of the Democrats’ exquisitely intricate “nominating process” and speculation about what nasty things Obama would need to say about Clinton to counteract the nasty things she’s saying about him.

The quotation of the week came from Clinton adviser Harold Ickes. “Too much is yet unknown about Senator Obama,” he said during a campaign conference call on Wednesday. Now that raises fascinating philosophical issues we have not pondered since the philosopher Donald Rumsfeld instructed us that while there are “known knowns,” there are also “unknown unknowns,” those we “do not know we don’t know.”

funny how he reports that he, as in Rush, is eager for Obama to be bloodied up, when that quote is actually from a Clinton Supporter,repeated by Rush on his show. This is the Liberal way if distorting the news.

Let the stupid Dems simmer in their own juice. They elected Howard eeeeeooowww Dean and it was his idea to punish two of the biggest states electorally to make sure that New Hampshire got to pick the candidate. Now they are faced with either letting Hillary steal the nomination or NOT COUNT THE VOTES of the good people of Michigan and Florida. I love it when a plan comes together!!
