that really resonates for me: something to the effect of "I don't want to live in a country where an honest politician is considered weird or crazy." From a Sanders supporter, natch. But, it seems that pols like Rahm--dishonest and glib--are the rule rather than the exception.

I was going to put HRC on my list, but I didn't want to get swarmed. The Bosnia sniper fire story is problematic, and I think what happened to Libya is partly attributable to her. And, I still don't like her position on fracking (and a number of other issues).

Anyway, we'll have to wait and see what happens to Rahm. I think his political career is over, but he has friends in high places.
