<p>Wolcott (thanks, CD) eviscerates <a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/blogs/wolcott/2008/03/look-i-understa.html">teacherken</a>, that tortured soul, long-time diarist at the Obama 527 formerly known as Daily Kos:
<blockquote>
Reciting her sins and liabilities has become a familiar refrain, but if it's the Gregorian chant you live by, if you find Hillary Clinton such an insupportable choice for the Democratic nomination that you prefer to suckle your pride and idealism rather than soil your conscience should she be at the top of the ticket, fine, have fun with that. But, please, I beg of thee, could you at least spare the rest of us your <a href="http://dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/3/8/63542/50320/869/472038">longwinded, preeny, pious dirges</a>?
<blockquote>
I have, in sorrow, come to the conclusion that should Hillary Clinton be the Democratic nominee, I will not cast a vote for president. 
</blockquote>
Explain, the Kos Diarist proceeds to do, for numerous earnest, soul-searching paragraphs.
<blockquote>
And I realize that in posting this I may sunder some friendships. There will be those who accuse me of various transgressions.
</blockquote>
Lawd, you'd think it was Judgment at Nuremberg, with all this lofty, Oscar-caliber emoting. 

If only returning to the womb were a viable escape option from Hillary's taloned deathgrip! 
</blockquote>
Oh, snap!     ]]></summary>
