One absurdity begats the next
Ordinarily I'd say this Kantor story is stupid and ridiculous. True or not, so what? What does it have to do with the cost of gas, or the war, or the environment, or health care, or any of the other problems facing us that have gone virtually untouched for 25 years.

But this little gem should even the field of stupid, media obsessions. I think it just perfect that Hillary has to deal with something that has little if anything to do with her campaign of today. After all, she has taken such delight in helping to fuel the recent fires set against Obama.

I don't know what is worse, this "system" of electing our leader or the never-satisfied media consumer feasting on yet another diversion.

1. The never-satisfied media consumer feasting on yet another diversion is worse
The system at least we can change. Good luck on changing the process necessary to feed the bloviators.

3. Hillary won't have to deal with this because it's a non-story. The absurd thing is logging
back on to DU and finding DU'ers who still need to cling to this.

4. I don't think that it's just perfect -- I think it's a stupid distraction.
It's the old politics, the Rovian style.

That hurts Obama and the entire Party.

The MSM will play with it as they will. Nothing forces Obama supporters to be diverted by this crap, however -- other than once again being ensnared by the 'old politics.'
