Frank Rich Steals Column from UT/Cellar

Not really, but doesn't this assessment feel familiar?

The Audacity of Hopelessness

When people one day look back at the remarkable implosion of the Hillary Clinton campaign, they may notice that it both began and ended in the long dark shadow of Iraq.

It’s not just that her candidacy’s central premise — the priceless value of “experience” — was fatally poisoned from the start by her still ill-explained vote to authorize the fiasco. Senator Clinton then compounded that 2002 misjudgment by pursuing a 2008 campaign strategy that uncannily mimicked the disastrous Bush Iraq war plan. After promising a cakewalk to the nomination — “It will be me,” Mrs. Clinton told Katie Couric in November — she was routed by an insurgency.

Looks like the Cellar has the pulse again. If you read the column you can find its bits and pieces spread throughout Toadville proper.

Fucking NY Times...bastion of liberalism and plagiarism!

I was listening to Rush Thursday, and was cracking up over this one person that called in...she was really pissed off about the McCain story, and mentioned that the editor apparently left his wife for a younger woman. She kept using "son-of-a-bitch" on the air. Pretty damned funny.
