Guess what.

As a Kos diarist, I think I share the opinion of many there when I say that the two biggest surprise pleasures of the primary season have been the TPM comment section and Al Giordano's blog, The Field.

Sage commenters (like Fly on the Wall) and posters like idiotic (who gets invoked like a deity when he/she is not around), plus a general spirit of fair play make these threads more fun to read than many Kos comment threads. Is it the avatars? Dunno.

As for Giordano: check this post, today.

Al has seemed destined to be added to Kos' blogroll. Kos has quoted Al Giordano in several stories recently.

So it's a pretty big deal to find out that Giordano was mentored by Abbie Hoffmann. It's an even bigger deal to see that on the day when Al is able to get a "Colbert bump" (via a diary by Markos), Al decides to publish what must be considered the ultimate answer to the Clinton kitchen sink strategy.

Has Al gone too far?

You going to report the breach of Obama's passport files? It just broke on MSNBC.

Paging idiotic…

John who?

Becoming? More like always was.

He's a Libertarian who always tend to be the least educated and most shallow ideologues. He has an American flag for his blog graphic which again indicates the kind of person who wraps themselves in the flag and knows no difference between nationalism and patriotism. Which is again pretty much all Libertarians who are chronically frustrated by complexities in the real world they simply can't grasp. It's safe bet he's also miserable most of the time and ostracized in the real world.

Not surprisingly he looks like a real hillbilly in his photo. One can only hope that's not actually an orange jumpsuit. There's plenty of his type around. Typical common variety wingnut.

It's tempting to feel sympathetic. But only to about the extent as someone panhandling while shouting obscenities and urinating on themselves is sympathetic.

He's just making sure nobody forgets HIM.

Matt:

I do not think we'll see Edwards endorsing anyone in the primary. Especially not Obama now as his is reeling from being outed as a racist and anti-American candidate.

You forgot to include in your fair and balanced opinion that he is an empty suit whose two books were really ghost written.

Oh wait... shucky-poo!
That was really your heroine Hillary wasn't it?

From the wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Takes_a_Village

Clinton has been criticized for not giving credit to a ghostwriter in connection with It Takes a Village. The majority of the book was reportedly written by ghostwriter Barbara Feinman.[8] When the book was first announced in April 1995, The New York Times reported publisher Simon & Schuster as saying "The book will actually be written by Barbara Feinman, a journalism professor at Georgetown University in Washington. Ms. Feinman will conduct a series of interviews with Mrs. Clinton, who will help edit the resulting text."[9] Feinman spent seven months on the project and was paid $120,000 for her work.[10] Feinman, however, was not mentioned anywhere in the book.

My god. Perchance we should consider Sir Edmund Hillary to be an "empty pantsuit" too?

She lied about being named for the famous first man to the top of Everest:

Sort of reminds me of the Chimp: Full of self-aggrandizement and buffoonery. Very sad indeed.

Edwards is either being peevish, fully aware of just how powerful he is, how itchy the combatants are, how only he can scratch the itch, and eating it up as only a truly peevish person can. Or else he's watching to see who finally looks like they're going to be victorious, so he can endorse that one and be VP. I think ALL of them, except for Dodd, are being damned peevish.

About Obama calling his grandmother a typical white person. What in the name of God Almighty is wrong with what he said? DON'T TELL ME. Anyone who can "answer that" is pre-judged an idiot by me. You can only split a hair a hundred times. This one is done, except by those of you with McVile, McUgly, ulterior McMotives for feigning "outrage."

About TPM, from what I see, the thing that makes it nicer than sites like d-kos and the former huffpo and let's say C&L is that THIS place is not a free-for-all. You people have style AND class. (Most of you.)

Forget Edwards. Richardson just endorsed:

Obama, of course.

You don't need an ad exec to write up - just refer folks to eminent historian Timothy Garton Ash's piece,

"The tragedy that followed Hillary Clinton's bombing of Iran in 2009: In retaliation, suicide bombers trained by Tehran massacred civilians in Tel Aviv, London and New York"

Edwards lacks courage, he should have endorsed Obama by now, since he is going to win N.Carolina.

The longer Edwards waits to endorse, the less wait his endorsement will carry... Just get on board, John!
