Political linkage

Dover Bitch at Hullabaloo with a link-festy smackdown.

This may be the worst thing to ever some out of a Republican's mouth. And that's saying something. Another take. More.

"Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has accused the United States of orchestrating the conflict in Georgia to benefit one of its presidential election candidates." And after 8 years, I don't doubt it for a second.

Wingnuts still won't give up on the Obama birth certificate thing. Insanity isn't a strong enough word.

A reminder: the last two wars we won were under Clinton's watch. But you know, Democrats are weak on national security.

Veep THIS!

Considering CNN is "confirming" Biden, this is kind of moot, but I was thinking about it all day.

While some people were speculating that the pick would be Hillary, others said no way, she hadn't been "vetted."

Seriously? You sure you don't want to reconsider that train of thought?

You mean after 8 years of ass-probing during Bill's presidency by the corrupt media and the scandal-mongering GOP, continued demonization during the Bush II fiasco, and then a very close race for the Dem nomination, there's something we don't know about Hillary Clinton?!?!?!?

Again: seriously?

OK, imagine you're Obama, sitting in your elitist strategy tower, bowl of arugula in front of you, maybe a little raspberry vinaigrette on the side (of course). You've got five people on your finalist list: Hillary Clinton and four others. Those others? You get their tax returns, a full list of closet-based skeletons, some high school yearboooks, voting records, YouTube moments, whatever. You "vet" them. Hillary? You say, "sit tight, I may ask you, I may not, but I think you're a known quantity. We don't need it in triplicate."

To be clear, this is neither a pro or con on Clinton, or Biden, or whomever. I just thought that the whole "vetting" thing was a little silly.
