Trouble in Pretend Paradise
Today the UNITY SHOW … que the music!
“Hillary said during the campaign that Obama didn’t have enough managerial experience to be commander-in-chief,” one top Obama fundraiser told me.
“And then she spends herself into debt and we are supposed to help her?”
Pageant of togetherness
As for me, I’m back in New Hampshire, always a joy, to witness an ironically named “Unity” event in the tiny town of the same name (pop. 1,600).
Here, Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton will perform in a pageant of Democratic togetherness in the muddy backyard of a local school.
In a town that some Granite Staters can’t find on a map, Obama and Clinton will try to convince the world — and, more importantly, each other — that their clans can play nice.
Despite the talk of unity in Unity (where Obama and Clinton each got 107 votes last in January’s primary), things are rough and emotional behind the scenes.
There is too much pride and, perhaps, too much money involved.”
Not to mention EGO. MS Inevitable is still miffed…. and Bill? … don’t even go there.
The entire thing reminds me of the USSR before the fall. Always presenting a Rah Rah propaganda image of unity and pride and solidarity … they rotted internally and fell apart. Yugoslavia is a perfect example. While Tito ruled (with an iron fist) to the outside world it looked like the Serbs the Croatians, and the Bosnians were a perfect example of unity. After the fall it was aparent to all they were and always have been at each other’s throats. It’s kinda like the Obamians and the Clintonistas.
So it is apparent to me that now is the time to recognize the official state of Demoslavia, where the Obanamians, and the Clintonistas, and the KOSians, and the Code Pinkies battle for influence and control. It is a loosely connected and fragile collection of largely egomanical and disfunctional (infected with Bush Derangement Syndrome) actors and actresses who pretend to be normal and incharge.
It kinda reminds me of the cast of the Rocky Picture Show.

Clinton can get this money back anytime by writing a book. If Obama has that much money he should give the 10 million to a worthy charitable cause and make a real differesnce in peoples lives. Let me see, I’m not sure this was chivelry, maybe a way of buying votes?
