What . . . . . . . . . the . . . . . . . . . . . fuck.

That is all.

O.K., fine, I'll throw a bone: so much for political acumen and experience--you know, how to navigate a campaign.

Jesus Fucking Christ.

You've got to be kidding me.

Talk about choking. Talk about an implosion. Why would someone who knows the media knives are out do this? They know better. Amateurism at its worse.

Irony of ironies: they were waiting for Obama to do something this stupid.

Fork. Done.

[OzarkDem]

1. He has

the news media Wurlitzer is keeping silent on Obama's faux pax. Until after the primary.

[Hawkeye-X]

2. Do tell. What did Obama do?

I'll wait for your answer.

7. Yeah, me too. nt

[BringBigDogBack]

26. Dont hold your breath....

[Ken Burch]

Nothing Obama has said could be as bad as the RFK thing.

We've already heard everything there is to hear about him.

[OzarkDem]

9. Yeah, right

That's why I've been at DU for 7 years and 14,000 posts. Dang, you just outed me.

[Ken Burch]

15. I deleted the comment you are referring to you as soon as I realized

I had you mixed up with somebody else.

Still, my point stands.

We already know everything about Obama. There are no other shoes to drop.

And it couldn't be anything but a tragedy for HRC to be imposed unfairly as nominee now. Nobody but a tiny right wing minority of voters really wants her. She's had her chance already.

[apocalypsehow]

10. Making shit up again, eh? You're getting awfully good at it. n/t.

:eyes:

[CreekDog]

i call bullshit

and i wish i could do that with one keystroke to every post you put up here.

[mcctatas]

12. Oh no, it's the vast LEFT wing conspiracy...

[beezlebum]

18. WELL?????

let's hear it.

[anigbrowl]

20. Go on then, spill it.

:puke:

[ithinkmyliverhurts]

23. The crickets said what?

Chirp, chirp.

Inquiring minds want to know.

No concrete response?

Then STFU.

Unless it's a hunch. I have my hunches as well. But I admit that they're hunches. If not, I just STFU.

(In my best Ted Knight voice--think _Caddy Shack_): "Well, we're waiting."

NB: when I say, "STFU," I mean NO DISRESPECT. Where I come from STFU, means simply, "you've talked some shit; now back it up." I hope OzarkDem understands this use. I just want to see the facts or the hunches. That's all.

[DevonRex]

3. WTF is right. nt

[CreekDog]

4. Hillary is always waiting for Obama to do something stupid

while she is trying to overcome something stupid that she did.

and he almost never does anything stupid, but when he does, he apologizes, or reacts to counteract it.

in Hillary's case, she holds out the hope that he will do something worse (in the future) that will make her mistakes look small.

except her mistakes all look bigger than his --she makes more, makes them worse.

and she is the one who is going to win this for us? i don't think so! :hi:

[MadMaddie]

16. Sadly she is displaying a characteristic that I deplore.....she

is not outright apologizing for the implications of her statement....she only said she didn't mean to offend anyone"....

[havocmom]

21. Yep, on top of everything else, she pulls passive/aggressive crap

Is there a therapist in the house?

[MadMaddie]

5. ithinkmyliverhurts....You have summed it up....

How does she think that uttering these words are acceptable...?

But this isn't the first time she made similar statements in March this year....so this is not something that just popped in her mind.

The Super Delegates must end this now!!

[ithinkmyliverhurts]

14. The point is

she knows the media wants her to end it. She knows this. This is THE script.

Now she's given them every reason to shut the door on her. In March, her candidacy was viable; they still wanted the drama, the horse race. Now--not so much.

I expect more deftness from the Clintons.

Major choke. Talk about rookie. McCain's machine would have buried her. Hell, this was self-inflicted.

[FlyingSquirrel]

6. Well, she did get away with it before.

Maybe the first two times were trial balloons and when she didn't get spanked before...

:shrug:

[MadMaddie]

19. The difference is that she didn't us the word "Assasinated"

......Wow.....

[KAZ]

8. Yep. Crash and burn. End of line.

[Generator]

11. Will Pitt is that you?

Stop my side hurts. OH damn I agree.

[patrice]

13. Carelessness = She WANTS out, but is toooo conflicted to admit it.

She KNOWS it's over.

[KittyWampus]

17. Wow, I think we agree. Self-sabotage. Like a kid that WANTS the authorities to stop them.

[patrice]

22. It's dangerous for the Party for someone that powerful and schizoid to be going around

saying things.

I refuse to believe she is really that Rovian. She thought she could USE those Repuke thugs she hired and they used her instead. Her campaign was never authentic, everything from the ridiculously young looking avatars to the "man hating" under-tow, none of it was really Hillary, IMO. I don't think she is a bright as they say, skilled in policy YES, but she is not bright enough to really discover "the third way". She THOUGHT she was doing it by hiring those Repukes and following their play book, but she was wrong and the price was her own authenticity.

[ithinkmyliverhurts]

24. I don't think she is a bright as they say, skilled in policy YES, but she is not bright enough

to really discover "the third way".

Hmmm, I have to disagree.

Yes, she is. She just rejected what Obama discovered. I believe that she's smarter than Obama. Yet, obviously, she's not. Perhaps a difference between smart and clever?

This whole thing could have gone the other way quite easily.

[BringBigDogBack]

25. Post of the evening. Recced.

[ithinkmyliverhurts]

27. Thank you.

Sometimes the non-inflammatory inflammatory just go to the wayside.
