The Real Dirty Harry

While it's now taboo to make any sort of suggestion about Barry being on the wrong end of a meeting with firearms, one can't help but imagine Harold Ickes throwing down a little, "Do ya, punk?" at Obama after the MI/FL decision yesterday at the Dem Rules and Bylaws meeting.

Not only did he offer that this was not a way to start building party unity, but dangled out there the threat to appeal the committee's decision (which made the SCOTUS in Bush v. Gore look downright NASA-like in the precision with which they assigned voter intent) to a higher power, much closer to the Denver convention in August.

Game on.

Below, here's a typical Hillary supporter at yesterday's event.

Harold Ickes May Be Right

The man who's had a very schizo sort of on-again-off-again relationship with the spouses Clinton over the years is back in a very out-front role now.

Harold Ickes is doing some press relations for them as well as handling the Superdelegate counting.

"She is better than her campaign," he said of the former First Lady.

For all my whining about her (and, in fairness, the woman does drive me batty), I am starting to feel for her the way I did for Al Gore in 2000.

She's getting stuck under the rainclouds her dance produced.

It reminds me of when an otherwise-attractive person decides to wear something that really doesn't fit them well.

While it's still ultimately their own fault, it's a shame that the outfit does not accentuate what really is attractive about the person.

(Even if they are a real beeyatch anyway!)
