2. Let's play "Gotcha" with Liz Warren, shall we?

There haven't been any debates yet, and the field has not been sorted out, yet people are saying that Warren is "undermining" Clinton because she refuses to PUSH Clinton into a candidacy for which Clinton has not yet declared. The timeline for that is Clinton's, not Warren's, and Warren GETS THAT. So Warren, sensibly, stays quiet. She'll probably stay quiet during the debates, as well, because she'll be interested in inserting her perspective into the varying arguments. People will make something of that, no doubt. Never mind that she signed "that letter" that people don't want to remember.

Then, when they try to pin her down and try to make her badmouth HRC, and she refuses to do it, instead deflecting with a general answer, they make something of THAT, too.

That's some whack-a-doodle logic, there. But hey, it was probably written by Luke Russert, the clueless pimply pipsqueak who hates all those "old" women in Congress.

Love this bit:

Warren has repeatedly said she is not running for president, and she recently disavowed a draft committee set up to boost her presidential prospects. But she seems to be running for something.


Gee, did the rocket scientist dribbling this out ever stop to think she might be "running" for ... Fed Chair? Or maybe a cabinet post, like say, Treasury?

Oh, the huge manatee!
