A day late and a dollar short. Not sure how throwing staff overboard at this point is going to do anything but drive donors away.

Hillary is done. It may take another month for it to become apparent to her, but she isn't going to turn this around.

There's a very unflattering photo of Hilldog on the front page of MSNBC.

[Mad Max, Esquire]

It's only unflattering because of the subject matter.

Mad Max, are you literate? If you were, you'd see that this move was in the works since Iowa. There are other ways to attack Clinton that are factually accurate; unfortunately, you "hope" to do so without substance. Shocking.

Sorry, but I am happy to see the wheels coming off of the Clinton political machine. I listened too long to Terry McAuliffe when he was head of the DNC talking about how the Democrats were going to gain seats, only to lose. I heard James Carville bash Howard Dean after Dean's 50-state strategy allowed the Dems to take the Congress back, with Carville saying that it would have been more seats if Dean wasn't in charge (like Clinton's people were ever able to do it). Or to watch Bill and Hillary stand on the sidelines in 2004 and watch Kerry self-destruct, as they hoped and at the expense of the Democratic Party, so that Hillary would have a clear shot for Hillary in 2008.

I am very happy to see Hillary's campaign fall apart. Time for the Clintons to go.

This move was in the works since Iowa? Really? And who did you hear that from? Hillary Clinton? The same Hillary Clinton we have all known since 1992? Like anyone should believe her? Which rock have you been under?

[Mad Max, Esquire]

I also like how you Hillary supporters are attacking "hope." F-ing Bill Clinton ran as the f-ing MAN FROM HOPE in 1992, you dumbasses. Or are you too stupid to remember?

[Wobbly H]

Minor disagreement, Max, but I would say, no, the photo itself is very hideous and unflattering. And who's the young woman in the background? That couldn't possibly be the aide she was allegedly "scissoring," could it?

Carry on...

Hi Max,

First, there's the factual matter that Maggie Williams has been the de facto manager since Iowa. If you had followed politics in the last, say, month, or read anything, you'd have known that. (But I guess he who lives under the rock thinks all others are actually under rocks themselves.)

Second, I think you've missed several points--that I'm not a Clinton supporter, that the "substance" was the heart of the insult against you, and that my "stupidity" is, apparently, self-evidence only to yourself.

Though I suppose attempted to reason to someone with an inferiority complex staggering enough to place "Esquire" at the end of his 'Net moniker is foolish. Rather than informing yourself and making substantive and meaningful critiques of the Clintons, continue the typical uninformed bashing of the Clintons. It's the Web way.

[Wobbly H]

I see they replaced her bug-eyed, candid shot with one of her speaking. After the "pimping out Chelsea" thing, MSNBC is on a short leash.

Given the CNN Breaking News and the Breaking News banners on every major news channel and website, apparently it wasn't as well known as you contend.

As for the stupidity thing, only a fool would attack the idea of "hope," especially if that fool is married to a guy who became President on that exact same theme 15 years ago. It makes Hillary sound incredibly cynical, hence her subsequent drop in the polls since she began that line of attack.

As for the use of Esquire, I used to use Beyond Superdome, but it resulted in unfortunate Mad Max, BS references. I changed to "Esquire" in a failed attempt to be more gentlemanly in my responses. As you can tell, it didn't take. Now fuck off.

So I wonder if the fact that Hillary canned a Latina as her campaign manager is going to have any impact on the Hispanic vote?
