Why am I flogging this dead horse? I suppose since I saw the topic on CNN this morning, so there's life in the old gray mare yet!
First, Adam Serwer at American Prospect wins the Jon Favreau Excellence in Hyperbole Award for this fine specimen:
"In going after Jon Favreau, Myers has essentially laid out the argument for impeaching Bill Clinton.
Well played sir!
Winning the Jon Favreau signature Situational Ethics award is none other than our fabulous friend in the "Progressive Blogosphere", her highness herself Arianna Huffington, who's excellent subheading Character is Destiny should be food for thought for fawning Favreau apologists, but won't be, since that's not how the game is played.
Quote Her Loftiness (equating herself with all modesty to a famous and timeless greek hero):
As my compatriot Heraclitus put it so succinctly 2,500 years ago: "Character is destiny."
Indeed.

Weird to see TAPPED people....
... recycling CDS talking points. Oh well.
"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win." -- Mahatma Gandhi
And recycling them
with so little creativity and nuance. I thought the downturn in the economy meant that you could hire a better quality of people to do higher quality work at greatly reduced rates. Doesn't TAPPED know that they could be trading Serwer in for a few more IQ points and better writing skills?
Why is it wierd, Lambert
They are, after all, progressives, no? What else does progressive stand for? Seriously, what have progressives done over the last year that was actually liberal? Its always easy to rail against "the man" about the issues, but the only real test is what one does when they become "the man". The progblogs (at least 1.0) are part of the problem/Village
. The sooner we realize that, the sooner we can move on in the right direction.
Stay the Course
Leaders seek to lead, followers seek to follow and fighters seek to fight. In that line, liberals seek to liberate, and progressives seek to progress. Oh, and deceiverers seek to deceive, rulers seek to rule and fawning hangers on seek to fawn and hang on.
The objective of a more rational, just, sane, sustainable world should be the objective. It's tough though when those who you would normally consider your allies are either full of shit or are excusing shit.

I'm not such a bad guy once you get to know me.
It's not a dead horse if it gives the M$M leverage
and a place to anchor the anti-Obama crapstorm they're about to unleash.
Y'all thought they hated Bill? Hide and watch.
That said, Obama could short-circuit THIS particular crapstorm with a few well-chosen words. Like, to Favreau: "You're fired."
That he hasn't yet is a mark of his triangulative nature.
