The Clenissearch for term: The Mighty Member of the Big Dog, the elected Democrat allowed to take office until Obama: The Cl[inton P]enis. Who could begin to define a signifier of such humongous power? The Clenis™ is worth about $10 million per inch as measured by the Republicans investigating it.... And to hear the Republicans tell it, The Clenis™ is responsible for everything that's wrong with the country, then and now.... Watch them change the subject to The Clenis™ whenever they start losing an argument on the merits; it's fun, and educational! He don't need no stinkin' codpiece .... Originated by "Jennifer" of the Atrios comments section.

22:03:36 Valley Girl I'd sure like Bruce Dixon's take on the Conyers comments. Just emailed him.
21:03:43 lambert Thanks, Jeff.
18:16:03 Jeff W lambert, I wrote to NOW about that Elizabeth Warren video not playing and got a response of sorts back, which I sent to you as a private PM. Just FYI.
02:28:28 hipparchia the first thing they told us my volunteer training: humans are natural born rescuers.

02:24:14 Jeff W Elizabeth Warren on the economy on PBS's NOW: you can watch it online here: [url] "If [Congress] gets it wrong, the country we knew is gone."
17:52:53 Davidson So, of course they're not going to show the truth about boxing her in from the beginning.
17:51:57 Davidson Yeah, that was just a comment in general, like, "Not even the RBC decision warranted scrutiny."
15:38:02 lambert That's not the RBC meeting, though. That's the smoking gun, beyond "Smart politics" (Wolfson).
14:17:16 Davidson Notice how everyone still avoids exposing the RBC decision
14:16:04 Davidson Can someone do a post on this? [url]
10:04:26 lambert Jeff, thanks. Fixed.
02:05:14 Jeff W lambert, your "especially with Obama's youthful base" link here [url] is broken. :(
