Massachusetts Two Step

[kandrathe]

See? you knew who I was talking about!

There are some political people who seem to know exactly how to step on the that progressiveberal/conservative nerve that makes people stop listening, and start looking for ammo. I think former Gov. Palin, Rep. Bachman, Ms. Coulter are those anti-Sirens of the right wing. Being of neither persuasion, I just find them all tedious. So, for example, even though on the issues Mr. Beck and I seem to be similiar in some of our views, I've never been able to stomach more than a few minutes of his blather. Less for the right wing pompous ones, such as Mr. Limbaugh. But, I know in my heart of hearts that even though that I might feel instant hatred for someone like Mitt Romney, or Harry Reid, that they probably are decent people who you could probably sit down with over a cup of coffee. It's just we always see them in somewhat hostile frames, promoting or defending their cockeyed ideas.

You forgot beechiness. That's the big one for Clinton.

I believe her emotional response to the question asked of her in Kinshasa said so much about her. A states(wo)man might have handled that teachable moment with more grace.

That's not Bachmann's problem. Her main problem is divorce. That is, she is divorced from reality. The "facts" she chooses to believe (or at least parrot), as Jester affirmed, come from the RW nutjobs. It's a common GOP problem, but it's easily remembered in her case because she's an attractive youthful woman. Now that's the sexist part, and I will agree that it is -- her craziness is more easily noticed and remembered because of her looks.

Nutjobs come in all flavors. That doesn't sound right.
