It has been such a heart-breaker to see the Clintons’ true colors revealed.

I keep coming back to Primary Colors (hmm?) — and recommend to all to see or read again —  and the climactic kitchen scene with Libby.  That is what’s happening to myself, and I imagine to so many fence-leaping Democrats these last several weeks.

It’s such a total collapse of trust:  her reversing her ow n promise and signed pledge and public statements to now suddenly be wanting to count Florida & Michigan!?;  her campaign now trying to rename “super-delegates” as “automatic delegates”; huh?  her actually saying on the stump, “You and I both know, words are cheap.” (what a confession of the Clintons rationalistic approach to life!  I guess, what is, is.);  them playing the race card in South Carolina, and then after that mistake, this week her Pennsylvania spokesman, Gov. Ed Rendell, saying some whites won’t vote for a black in his state!  Are they wanting us to they flash back to the 1990s or the 1950s?

This is the most disgraceful campaign I’ve ever seen a Democrat run, period.  I’ve been a Democrat since Carter, and an avid Clintonite since ’92, and one of the big reasons I AM a Democrat is because our team plays fair, and is respectful of one another.  We may try to out-zing each other, but there’s no Willie Horton or “stealing Florida” in our party.  – – . . . doh!

This Clinton campaign has behaved like the worst ofthe Republicans — with race-baiting, trying to change the rules to suit them, and slandering upstanding people.  It’s mind-blowing that a Democrat is doing it.  And to another Democrat.  It’s such a sad, but apparently fitting, final or lasting image we will all have of this couple.

It’s pillar-collapsing when heroes betray you.  This couple were political gods – and to now see them day after day betray the ideals that you’ve lived by, and that the party embodies, and betraying the nation’s future by trying to destroy this man and this moment, and betraying everything they ever said they stood for . . . I’m in a bit of a shock.  So,

The rallying call:  “In a heavy-weight title fight, the challenger doesn’t win on points.”   (Barack Obama, on 60 Minutes)

http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/i_video/main500251.shtml?id=3814077n

He’s so right.  She needs to be knocked-out for him to win this.  If she does well in any of the upcoming states – Wisconsin, Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania — the country is in trouble.  Do what you can, and

March Forth!

[performance poem]

.

I was sittin’ on my roof in New Orleans,

When george bush came by sellin’ re-fried beans;

Now, “I’m a man of means, by no means,”

So he took ‘em back,

Said, “Fuck you, Jack.

You gotta have coin, and not live in a shack,

in any country that I attack.”

And he roared off in his Air Farce One,

as I looked around for a looters gun,

but wouldn’t you know  –  there wasn’t one.

Then along came Homeland Security, and I knew I was saved

since I was in my Home, and Land, and most well-behaved.

“Could use some security over here!”

I reached out for that Count Dracula Chertoff,

but he pulled back his hand and said, “You wash that dirt off.

I thought you were white, or I wouldn’t have stopped.

But I do have some babies you should adopt.”

I told him I didn’t have milk, he said, “Let ‘em eat cake,”

as I watched him speed off on our new sewer lake.

And speaking of cake, there came Queen Barbara Bush,

snappin’ her whip, n yellin’, “mush nigga, mush!”

I looked on aghast at her dogsled on water,

as she jangled the jewelry the Gulf Wars have bought her,

“They’re underprivileged anyway,” she said, horkin’ some phlegm,

“This is really working out quite well for them.”

                                                                                                            [actual quote]

Then along came FEMA, on a slow-moving barge;

They might be useless, but they sure are large!

It was that stunned-deer Michael Brown and his paperwork forces,

the guy who got his job after judgin’ show horses.

he said, “The check’s in the mail,” and then he laughed,

“What have you got in the way of graft?”

I told him I had some boxed dinners from Kraft,

but I didn’t have clean water, and could sure use a raft.

He just looked at me like I was daft,

and promised he’d send in a hovercraft,

then he laughed so hard I thought he’d cracked.

I was startin’ to get hungry when the army came in,

woke up squinting through the din,

. . .  but no, that was just a dream.

So I kept snoozin’ on the shingles and let out a yawn,

when along came a boat … with Dr. John!

“I was in the right place,

                        but it must have been the wrong time.”

And behind him a boat with the Neville Brothers!

and a Mardi Gras parade with a thousand others!

I saw Louie and Leadbelly, Jelly Roll and Ma Rainey,

and it was a helluva lot better than this bowl ‘a Dick Cheney.

The music came back!  It’s the strangest thing!

It wasn’t the uniforms who had the bling,

It was the dark black horn on the bayou singin’

Throughout the world from the delta ringin’

Risin’ up when the worst were downed,

Filling our belly with Saint Gabriel’s sound.

It’s the drum in the street, and the horn in the night,

That’ll get us through our pitiful plight,

They’re the soldiers who came here to fight,

And feed our souls and make it right,

And beat this bloody abandoned blight,

And bring about a new day light.

Back when I was so much younger then, a Hillary supporter, I knew there was a lot of, well, anti-Hillary people out there.  She wasn’t like any other Democrat.  Nobody said or wrote many really negative things about Edwards or Biden or Obama or Richardson, . . . but Hillary!  It was weird, I didn’t get it, so i began asking people what it was they didn’t like about her.

And it’s funny, cuz i started this thinking, “Okay, these are the obsticles (‘negatives’) we have to erase in order for her to win.”  So, . . . That didn’t work out too well.  But i did come up with this really neat list!

It’s a merge from, i dunno, a hundred different people/sources:

—  calculating, air of dishonesty, phony, inauthentic, fake, don’t trust her;

—  conniving, manipulative, “political” in the worst sense;

—  she exudes an air of entitlement, being “anointed” the Dem front-runner, she’s privileged and deserves to be crowned;

—  that if she’s elected she’ll not only keep the negative polarization of Washington steaming, she’s probably just make the atmosphere worse;

— that she doesn’t play by the rules, and/or plays dirty;

—  don’t like the idea of the Clinton-Bush stranglehold on the presidency for 28 years;

—  that she “rolled over for Bush & his cronies” – that she wasn’t really a Democrat – she gave in to the Right too much;

— her shrill voice, and cackling laugh – it’s AMAZING how many different people have said this to me – probably a third or more of all respondents mentioned it;

—  she’s in the pocket of big business;

—  takes tons of medical industry lobbyists money while claiming to be fighting them;

—  she doesn’t REALLY have any experience;

—  she only has stature or fame because of being married to Bill – doesn’t deserve where she is;

—  “the boys are picking on me” line after the debates;

—  the “Cry-baby for President” t-shirts;

—  not leaving Bill after Monica (compromised ethics & power-hungry to stay with him);

—  simply by being a “Clinton” which is just a dirty word to many Republicans (and independents, and now even many Democrats).

Those loveable nuts, Hillary & Billary, spent the day (apart of course) cruising around the countryside, choosing the day for love to unleash their harshest ever smear campaign against Barack Obama.

Barack, by contrast, took the entire day off from campaigning and spent it with his wife.  (and kids).

Tells me everything I need to know.

So, . . . Miss Inevitable & Sick Billy have gone dirty negative instead of being “experienced” statesmen!  Did you catch how their surrogate ho in PA, Gov. Ed Rendell, dropped the race card bigtime yesterday?  Loosely, “There’s a percentage of people in my state who won’t vote for a black man.”  Just giving the racist bigots of Pennsylvania total cover to keep the crosses up on their lawns.  I kinda can’t believe it.  And this is just gonna be the start of it.  2 ½ more weeks of this.  And then we’re done.

see here for more an Rendell http://www.philly.com/philly/opinion/20080215_Editorial__Rendell_on_Obama.html

This negative crap is going to wipe-out Hillary’s female empathy vote, and tip so many Dems who are teetering on the fence in Obama’s favor.  These are things you just don’t do, especially in the Democratic family.  We know where the other side stands, and we expect it.  But this just goes against everything Democrats stand for.

And dig — Texas and Ohio are both OPEN primaries!?!  Any registered voter can vote in either party!

Paging all Obamicans!  What is the all-time record voter turn-out in Texas, anyway?  😉

March Forth, America!

Happy Potomac Primary Morning!

168 phat delegates are up for the taking tonight in Virginia, Maryland and D.C.

In a few hours, Obama will have won every state since Super Tuesday, 8 in a row, and every one of them by 20-30+ point margins.

With everything going against the Clintons at this point – states won, vote counts, money and momentum each by a 2-to-1 difference – Bill & Hillary are now facing their first election loss in nearly 30 years.

This is character-check time.  Whatever dirty tricks and “opposition research” the Clintons plan to use against Obama, we’re gonna see it in the next 3 weeks (leading up to Texas and Ohio on March 4^th).  Will their desperation turn ugly?

There’s a brutal article about the sorry state of the Clinton campaign on page 1 of the New York Times today:  (doh!)

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/12/us/politics/12clinton.html?_r=1&hp&oref=login

If anyone from super-delegates to supporters to “undecideds” read this . . . I mean, it really should be on the obit page!

Democratic voters have to put this nomination away for Obama, and fast, because we want to avoid any kind of an indelicate delegate debacle.

This has been a wonderfully and cleanly-waged primary, epitomized by that L.A. debate, the two of them sitting side-by-side and laughing, and saying they were friends before this and will be friends after this.

I’m just praying that the Clintons keep it that way.  With elimination and the end of the dream staring them in the face — do they become vicious dogs, or elder statesmen?  They certainly failed this test in South Carolina.  Stay tuned.

first, before the funny — here’s “the video that started it all”  — “Yes, We Can” 

about 4 minutes long.

If you’re into laughing and politics, these are highly recommended . . .

McCain’s “Yes, I Can” video —

length:  1:39

Hillary under sniper fire in Bosnia:

The Mac vs. PC Guys—

30 seconds

The brilliant Clinton – Cruise Campaign

Ch-ch-ch-Changes

1:44

Another McCain “No, You Can’t” parody

2 minutes

Hillary and Reese Witherspoon in the Election

1:30

Baby Got Barack  (great funny music rap)

4 min.

Obama: The Musical  (it’s silly season!)

1:30

= = = = = = = = = = =

Stephen Colbert’s brilliant priceless skewering of Dubya at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner in 2006.

24 min.  (although, you can cut out around 16:50 when it goes into the video piece)

One of the funniest parts is watching how Bush doesn’t even “get” that he’s being ridiculed (at least for the first 5 minutes).

This is probably the single most priceless, overt, ballsyest skewering of a President ever executed, or at least ever caught on film. And I’m not really a huge fan of Colbert, but even his pauses are comic mastery.

This is what Lenny Bruce’s entire life was leading towards. He died so that Colbert could eventually do this. This is the peak of the mountain that Lenny & Carlin & David Steinberg & Mort Saul & others were all blazing the trail up.

How Colbert keeps going, keeps a straight face, and doesn’t just panic and run the hell out of there in the middle is just titanium balls with a Groucho ‘stache.

Remember: “Reality has a well known liberal bias.”

Holy muthr jezus of gawd!  What just happened?!  Herbie Hancock just won Album of The Year!

Herbie, besides everything else in his brilliant career, was a key to the “Yes We Can” Obama video.  And the guy climaxes the Grammys, saying, “Yes, We Can” from the stage when he wins.  I’m freaking out.

you can see the Herbie – Obama moment at the end of this short highlight package:

Plus, Obama himself actually won a Grammy!! (for Best Spoken Word, for his reading of “Audacity of Hope“)  AND he beat a Clinton doing it!  (Bill for the audio of his book.)

And, on top of that!  In just the last few hours — Obama won Maine by 20% (making it 4 straight states); Hillary fired her campaign manager; the airing of the winner/loser 60 Minutes; and Herbie’s climactic winner’s speech at the Grammys . . . this is all the news going into Monday morning and next week. this is insane.

I leave it to you to explain, but how did Obama have the Giants Meadowlands booked IN ADVANCE for the day after the Super Bowl?
If they had lost as the bookies and conventional wisdom had it, he would have looked so stupid appearing there. But he booked it and had everybody heading there before the game was ever played.

and now Herbie “Yes, We Can” Hancock wins frickin Album of the Year!!??

whether it’s a conspiracy, or a fluke, or karma, or fate, or Obama himself, something is happening here, and you don’t know what it is, do you Mr. Rove?

I’m just freakin out too much to breathe right now — but here’s what the Grammys were like before everything changed at the end:

That was quite a show!  (as long as you hit “mute” for about 3/4 of it!)  but seriously — Gershwin — Cab Caloway —  Let It Be — and Tina Turner!!!

I’ll let my brother Phil lay down what he saw from the seats in the house, but I’ll tell ya, Tina!!  What better inspiration to any of us under 60!  That babe’s never laid down a bad show in her life.  Overwhelming show-stealer from this couch.

and a huge late-breaking smile to the Fogarty, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard’s playoff!

Let’s all go see Fogarty next time he’s in town!

Or here’s the day I finally “got” Bob Dylan. 

Or the night we all lost John Lennon.
