Thanks for pushing more sympathy votes Hillary's way with your irresponsible coverage!

Maybe she'll come from behind in SC just like NH and the whole thing will be over:)

You see a Dean but I see fire. Go Hillary!

We probably should have waited for a video to post this story...is there going to be a video...?

Yeah, just like you, Greg Sargent, now had your "Brain Meltdown" moment. Sort of, anyway.

What kind of news/reporting is this??? You're losing it!

I do expect better from you guys at TPM.

So the NYT has another idiot moment, the home to Frank Rich and Maureen Dowd and others who’ve served nothing but lies and hate during the primaries.

What, exactly, do you Greg think merits this as “news” at TPM-EC?

It's really depressing how lacking in basic reading comp skills some commenters are.

Isn't it kind of obvious that I'm criticizing the Times piece?

I mean, saying that it's "silly" and "empty-calorie snark" really should be a dead giveaway.

I'm sure greg is working hard on getting a transcript and video. Just like he did with obama's testy exchange with reporters. Yeah I'm sure.

tpm = clown show

Greg, yes, it's obvious you're not giving this much credibility, but honestly this piece doesn't deserve any attention; certainly not without any video.

I'm not a Hillary supporter, but although you may have the best intentions in posting this, it's such a subjective piece. Maybe would have been better to make this a Horse's Mouth entry.

PenPal, your inability to detect the obvious sarcasm in Greg's original post here certainly does suggest a deficit of reading comprehension skills.

Indeed, that's pretty much the definition of reading comprehension, right? Accurately ascertaining the intended meaning of the passage? And this wasn't exact unambiguous.

the poor clintons...always the victims.

I KNOW I've seen this movie before

What, exactly, do you Greg think merits this as “news” at TPM-EC?

This was sort of my thought in reading the post. Then I saw Mr Sargent's response:

It's really depressing how lacking in basic reading comp skills some commenters are.

Isn't it kind of obvious that I'm criticizing the Times piece?

Well, this probably says more about me than about Mr Sargent, but I guess that my reading comprehension skills are quite poor indeed, because I really did not pick up on the intended derision. Sarcasm can be hard to convey without tone-of-voice cues. At any rate, I agree with the folks who say that the headline here could have been better-written (for what little my own opinion is worth).

Greg -- that Horse's Mouth piece -- not obvious that it was critical? "Silly" and "empty-calorie snark" -- not critical?

healy has been doing a hit job on Hillary since the nyts put him in charge of her coverage. That's the same type of coverage the hyts used to put bush in the white house twice. healy is a hack. Why he gets a post without mentions of the lies, hate and just plain bogus coverage he has been allowed to print has some wondering if tpm has joined the ranks of the "liberal media."

The 'Dean scream' had nothing to do with Dean and everything to do with the owners of the media getting rid of the strongest Democratic candidate.

Hillary could drop her pants and dance naked in Time Square and she wouldn't have a Dean scream moment. The press is on her's and Obama's side. At least until the primaries are over. Then, she or he will definitely have one.

It’s the electability, stupid. Democrats, please pay attention: Hillary cannot win the general and that is the ONLY point worth putting out at this crucial moment of the primaries. Don't get distracted or side-tracked: put every other piece of info, scrappy fight, comment by surrogates, squabble, newspaper article, blog, story and propaganda-filled speech aside. Its not about race or gender or policies or change or experience. You only need to know ONE piece of information to make your decision: no candidate can win a general election that is not supported by half of her own party. Keep your eye on the 11/08 ball before it’s too late. She is the only thing that will rally the struggling Republican Party. Tell every Democrat and Independent you know: a vote for Hillary is a vote for John McCain, HIS war in Iraq and an economy that will not recover for a very long time. Why does the DNC not recognize this? We are running out of time to put an end to the eight, and I now fear 12, years of negative and never-endingly bad mojo and the moment to do something about it is right now. So stop talking and go out and do something. One simple first step? Email The DNC and tell them how you feel about the way The Clintons are leading our party and running their campaign. http://www.democrats.org/page/s/contactissues . Pass it on.

katie, please give it a rest.

What did the supposed Dean scream have to do with anything! It was cooked up by the press. Everyone was screaming at at event. It is absolutely ridiculous to cover this irrelevant so-called news about Hillary. The press needs to cover the important things, not mindless trivia.

During the debates in Nevada, Brian Williams had to remind Hillary he was not that far away.

Hillary is just shrill, therefore, you could say anytime she opens her mouth is a "Dean scream".

If you can't win on your voting record, ethics, or persona, attack your running mate and hope women will feel sorry for you.

The Clinton couple are no different than the current administration. Our politics have been in the toliet since the days of Nixon. Isn't it time to elevate the process a bit?

Greg, Could you PLEASE address the news from this morning (MSNBC)of Obama pushing the wrong buttons for 6 different votes?

I have the link to LA Times but have been told it does not work. If someone in your news room would kindly find the story and post it. It is important news.

He pushed the wrong button, he asserted at the time. Two of the admitted flubs were on hotly contested issues.

Barack Obama angered fellow Democrats in the Illinois Senate when he voted to strip millions of dollars from a child welfare office on Chicago's West Side. But Obama had a ready explanation: He goofed.

"I was not aware that I had voted no," he said that day in June 2002, asking that the record be changed to reflect that he "intended to vote yes."

This to me, is very important information for the voters to consider.

Thanks you.

Come on over to Ron Paul's Freedom Train, Folks. No Flim Flam Flip Floppers, No PMS Screamers, No 100 Years/Trillions of OUR dollars for wars warmongers, over here. Just "real" true blue Americans that know all the issues and what needs to be done to get us back on track. A constitutional limited republic government thats for the people. His past record speaks for itself. Come join us, you'll feel so much better about yourself and your great country.

That's why Iowa is first. Lots of party pros, without all those pesky citizens.
