They did a LOT of worthy, hard work to help Ned Lamont, in both the primary and the election.

And then Hillary, among other things, helped the repubs put Lieberman back in the senate, and I was appalled when they let her on here, and essentially gave her a free pass, for the Q&A.

And then tap-danced around it, when a few of us questioned all of their “stay on the cupcake topic” policy.

Jane, Christy, Pachu, etc., it’s still foxhole time. More than ever, in fact, as Hillary tries to stampede Edwards and Obama out of the race. :o(

She has to do it ASAP, because, just like bush, time is NOT on her side. The worse Iraq gets, the worse she’ll look for not saying, straight-up, what a mistake it was to vote to enable it. She’s just not as intelligent as I once thought, and neither are the people giving her advice.

I am SO ready for a lady Prez. Just not THIS lady.

By contrast, Pelosi is about one good, bitchy, ballsy :o), statement or act away from totally firing my ass UP!

Her refusal to meet with Petraeus, was goood stuff.

Nancy: “General, you go ahead with the 5-O’Clock-follies-redux…I’m trying to cut down on the bullshit around here.”

Dolly, good post. Let’s cut down on it, around here, too. :o)

Oh, c’mon Jane. A dKos straw poll? I’m all for whoopin’ up Reid, but that’s not exactly a meaningful number.

Jane did say it was a straw poll, and the poster was doing nothing more than pointing out Jane’s own comment.

IMHO, we should cut the poster some slack and see what else she/he has to say IF they decide to stick around.

Forgive me if I am not in on the insider trollie tracks, but this seems to me to be a bit of an over reaction to a comment.

Believe me, I will think twice before commenting again. That should not be the case at a site that I have rarely commented at, but would like to think I am welcome.
