(As noted earlier in comments) Pelosi today:

Pelosi issued a statement Friday evening rapping Stark, who is in his 18th term representing the liberal East Bay. He’s California’s longest-serving House members.
“While members of Congress are passionate about their views, what Congressman Stark said during the debate was inappropriate and distracted from the seriousness of the subject at hand — providing health care for America’s children,” Pelosi said.

Sounds like she’s still worried what the popular kids will think, and embarrassed by the rest of us nerdy Dems. Time for us to make some noise her way and set her straight . . .

Speaking as one of the mean outsider kids that nice girls like Nancy are supposed to avoid, let me say this:

Nancy, STFU.

BTW, the telecom contributions to Rockefeller are, like, Exhibit A of why corporations giving to Democrats is not really a good thing.

While corporate contributions certainly play a role, it’s the cash filled envelopes and briefcases that do the job. Election reform laws are the least part of it which is why I don’t think the Nerd is that different from the mean football player.

We made a donation to Dodd’s campaign! About time someone showed some leadership! Sending some Rolaids to Reid. I have a feeling Dodd, et al are giving him heartburn!

So much for this 3rd party and Constitutionalist Party stuff. Just vote for Ron or Dennis. Stop the war!!!

He never said he smoked, just that he didn’t inhale. Hillary was making the brownies:

“…I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn’t like it. I didn’t inhale and never tried it again…”

Well now, she did mention not baking cookies. Guess she outfoxed the media again!

I suppose it depends upon whether you’re rooting for someone as to whether “outfoxing the media” is good or just another way of lying yer ass off to the public. Haven’t we had enough of slick willie and smirky mcchimp?

I’ll bet Obama wasn’t a nerd. And if Bill was smoking and not inhaling, what was Hillary not doing?

I’m still waiting for the killer question from some ridiculous moderator, “Have any of you (candidates) used any illegal drugs, including marijuana?”

It oughta produce some fun answers.

Thanks.

And, as always, en passant, may I point out that Sen. Clinton is very much a PART of the corporate problem; NOT part of the solution to it.

Well said! And too true, as well!

‘Divine Right’ of money currently gives rise to political expediency and wholesale capitalistic plundering . . .

Money is NOT wealth.

Henceforth, ‘wealth’ will come to be ‘evidenced’ through free human minds; that is, capacity perceives possibilities allowing species to continue in sync with ability of planet to support human life.

But … greed and fear must play out a bit longer – those with vision must be prepared to encourage hope and humane perspective. They must also have a pragmatic grasp of universal human needs and realities – otherwise there will be no future worth experiencing. Instead, a true dark age and the end of human tenure on earth.

Stark choices for the rest of our lives, unless we choose to stand, at the risk of our comfort and our lives, for what we claim to ‘believe’.
