Hillary Endorsed By A Meathead

Hillary has just picked up an endorsement from Meathead. You know, Archie Bunker's nemesis on All In The Family -- a.k.a. film director Rob Reiner.

Reiner's endorsement of Hillary took place earlier today. It's actually a key get, Reiner being a high-profile liberal activist in Hollywood -- where Obama had threatened for awhile to cut into her turf until she reestablished her dominance out there.

Has Meat Loaf tipped his hand?

Why would a supposed "liberal activist" such as Rob Reiner endorse someone who is demonstrably not a "liberal" and instead is an anti-progressive dupe for the DLC/DINO wing of the party?

The easy answer is that Reiner, like a lot of the limo and latte crowd in Hollywood, only fancies himself a "liberal," but will never be there when the chips are on the table and the cards dealt.

Hillary only represents the spineless, soft, appeasement wing of the party and Reiner just joined it like a grasping schoolgirl.

Why do you say Hillary has "reestablished her dominance out there" when that seems to me to be far from clear?

I think Obama should hire Sally Struthers to do 5 minute informericals.

For Hillary.

Sheesh. Don't you people understand? It's all over. She's inevitable. She has a 40% majority and she's thus unstoppable. She's run a perfect campaign. She never makes a mistake and never will. Everyone loves her and anyone who doesn't will come to love her once they have a chance to get to know the "real" her through a few 30 second campaign commericals. She has sewn up all the endorsements that matter and anyone who endorses someone else doesn't matter. Move along. Nothing to see here. Honestly, why don't we just call off all these tedious elections they've got scheduled and get on with debating her inaugural ball gown choices.

am I wrong for saying she's reestablished her "dominance" out there? sincere question. I don't say that Obama has no support out there, but I recall a spate of stories to the effect that she was mopping up most of the support there after his early surge in the area...

Greg,

I have no idea who's ahead in the Hollywood Money Grab right now. It looks to me like Oprah is at least as big a get as Meathead, but that was last week, so whatever.

My gripe is that Hillary's Great Surge to Victory is a figment of her campaign's imagination that the MSM has swallowed hook line and sinker. Most exasperating of all, they've done it in exactly the same way, and by means of exactly the same "reporting" methods, they bought into Saddam's weapons of mass destruction.

The truth is that with the exception of one CNN poll in New Hampshire that had a 5.5% margin of error, Hillary--and everyone else--is exactly where they've been since at least 7/16. Ignore the Rasmussan commentary, which is tainted . . .

. . . and take a look at the actual daily numbers:

Nonetheless, her campaign said it officially, the MSM "checked" her assertion by asking unnamed sources with the same agenda (people like Doug Schoen, as blogged by Greenwald today) as her official spokespersons and then they started citing their own stories as evidence that the figment is true.

It's just a little disheartening see the MSM once again obediently fall into lockstep behind yet another Rovian reality control scheme.

Geez.

Why would "liberalism" or "progressivism" stop god's Chosen People from Choosing Israel and its Chosen Puppet before all else?

Principle schminciple.

This is the kind of comment that makes me think I probably won't care to be a "Democrat" if Senator Clinton doesn't win the nomination:

"Hillary only represents the spineless, soft, appeasement wing of the party and Reiner just joined it like a grasping schoolgirl."

You people treat Independents and moderates the way Republicans treat Blacks. Keep it up, and pretty soon all you will have left is yourselves. Then you can enjoy whining from the sidelines with no one who cares to even have you in the game. You must LOVE the political wilderness because you've spent years and years in it in the last 35 years!

I find myself disgusted with people who call themselves "liberals" these days. Some of you, I'm sure, will just flip me off with that comment.
So be it.
I see now why very few people are willing to identify as a "liberal" anymore. Liberals appear to have a very ugly side, as illustrated by megisi above.
