[...] Like everything he does, down to the last anti-Coulter fundraising e-mail, it’s cynical calculation wrapped in progressive faux principle. On the eve of Yearly Kos, with Hillary’s lead widening, he’s floating a moronic non-issue to incite the nutroots faithful and put her on the defensive before she tried to win them over. It’s a transparent distraction, in other words, which is both smart politics and rancid hypocrisy insofar as this is precisely the sort of thing he was complaining about last week. [...]

[...] Via Brian Maloney, who notes via e-mail that the constant references to a shadowy “they” call to mind some of Perot’s greatest hits. Maybe. But Perot’s nuttier moments seemed sincere; Silky’s, true to unctuous form, are almost certainly contrived to appeal to the fightin’ nutroots, who now dominate his campaign. Nothing gets them off like the heroic image of themselves as a powerless but passionate grassroots insurgency challenging the establishment; the title of Kos’s book suggests as much. Silky’s just tossing them some chum on that count. The Man can’t handle the truth they’re selling so They have to make fun of Silky’s mane and try to silence Ed Schultz, whom no one except Ed Schultz has ever heard of. It’s all a “distraction,” just like the war on terror and the Anbar awakening and everything else that’s politically inconvenient for the left. [...]

Republican Operative: Hillary Cleavage Debate All Just a Tempest In B-Cup…

Oh, dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear. Hillary Clinton’s handlers are so outraged – outraged! – at a newspaper story musing over her showing a little cleavage that they’re urging equally miffed supporters to fight back by stuffing cash……

Maybe the “they” he is talking about is really his wife (she is a chubby, isn’t she). She usually does all the talking for him.

He doesnt get it. Its not about his hair its his pretend “Im for the poor little man” routine

William Amos on July 27, 2007 at 5:07 PM

Exactly.

Newsflash: if you’re entire message is “I’m for the poor man,” and then you spend more on a haircut then the average “little guy” spends on his 10-year-old used Honda Civic … you’re going to take some shit for it.

What is hard to understand about this?

[...] The wingnuts quickly followed suit with Politico’s lead with everyone making a big deal about who the “they” are that John Edwards is referring to. But, of course the wingnuts are part of the Right Wing Noise Machine, and they know damn well who Edwards is talking about. [...]

Damn skippy, Silky. I’d love nothing more than to silence you, but that doesn’t mean I can silence you. Fortunately, the first amendment right to free speech does not give one a right to an audience.

How’s your hair doing? And your nutroot campaign?

Yes, that’s right. WE stay up nights, trying to distract people from health care by talking about some b*lless douche bag’s hair. I keep having this dream that if this feckless turd is elected, the four horseman of the apocalypse will be standing behind during his speech looking at their watches waiting to begin the end of the world. What has this country been reduced too that we can actually consider this clown a serious candidate?

“They want to shut me up” and “They have to listen to me”.

Hallelujah that you’re not “shutting up” dear. With that kind of righteousness and lecturing to us ‘children’, and with zero credibility and substance behind that pretty rich face and body of yours, what you spew will shut itself up soon enough. Just keep on going like this. You’re doing faaane!

One thing aaa can tell you – we won’t listen to this for the next 8 years, for sure!

He does shave doesn’t he?

I think maybe he shaves his scr*t*m.

He spent that whole clip talking about how “they” don’t want him to talk about health care et. al. Yet HE didn’t talk about those things….he just complained that “they” don’t want him to talk about those things.

I guess his strategy is “vote for me because ‘they’ are picking on me.”

Silky knows. He sees “them” every morning when he shaves.

Wow I couldn’t focus at all on the video due to that beautiful man’s hair.

Hey John, if you don’t want people to focus on your hair, get a $15 haircut like the rest of us. Maybe YOU don’t want people to focus on what you’re saying either. They’d realize how vapid and inane it its.

Speaking of silencing people, I wonder what Silky’s feelings on the fairness doctrine are?

csdeven on July 27, 2007 at 7:09 PM

I guess that just like Silky says there are “two Americas”, there are also two 1st amendments to the constitution — you know, the right to free speech that applies to Silky, and the one that applies to all of the rest of us little people.
