24. Oh, fachrissake. Do you remember when Obama nominated Clinton to be his SECSTATE?

I think it's Hill-arious how the politicians can behave like adults and "get over it" after a rough primary contest ends, but their fans (and I say fans rather than supporters, because a supporter goes WITH the person they support) can't.

Hillary "got over it" and supported Obama. I took my lead from her.

Obama quite obviously "got over it" as well, as he nominated her as his SECSTATE.

Why people insist upon creating this "Hammer and Tongs" environment between Democrats who have been on the same frigging team for the past seven years is beyond me.

Fuck the NYT with their breathless non-scandal email story, their Jayson Blairs and Judy Millers, and their "salacious" non-story bullshit. Fuck them and their un-attributed quotes from SPOUSES like that shit is supposed to matter.

They've already made it clear where they've made their bed--they are no longer the "paper of record" and haven't been for some time. They're dancing with the ones what brung 'em, and those people don't want Democrats in the White House.
