I don't suppose it bothers anyone else to see Democrats attacking each other using language I would expect to hear from Rush Limbaugh?

Calling "confidence" the economy's "true currency," Clinton made the case that "we need a president who can restore our confidence...

Why yes, yes we do. Excellent. You'll be getting out of the race, then?

Also, to quote the stand-up comedian Jimmy Tingle, "People don't lack confidence. People lack money. People in this country are not buying lottery tickets to boost their self-esteem. You give the average American one million dollars, I'll show you an individual brimming with self-confidence."

Here's where a Clinton supporter starts following in the liar Limbaugh's footsteps.

[Clinton] allies like union president Tom Buffenbarger attack Obama and his supporters as elitists. "I've got news for all the latte-drinking, Prius-driving, Birkenstock-wearing, trust fund babies crowding in to hear him speak," Buffenbarger said at a February rally in Ohio,

Speaking as someone who fits into none of those categories, but who loves to hear Barack Obama speak...you don't have to be a rocket scientist to see he's a great orator. Agree with him or not, compared with the likes of George W. Bush or John Kerry...there's no comparison.

You could say the same about Ronald Reagan, the president of the United States nicknamed, "the Great Communicator." You could also say it about another Clinton. But as Buffenbarger (great name, I'll give him that) continues:

"This guy won't last a round against the Republican attack machine. He's a poet, not a fighter."

So in this Clinton campaign, we see that a gift for language is something to attack. Does that strike anyone else as, if not self-defeating, at least an implicit acknowledgement of what a pretty pass we've come to? A poet is preferable to The Electric Mother.

Really. "A poet, not a fighter." ...who won 12 contests in a row against Hillary Clinton.

"A poet, not a fighter" who's

leading in the popular vote, pledged delegates, states won and picking up virtually ever superdelegate endorsement since Super Tuesday,

And by the way, about the most recent "superdelegate" endorsement and the response to it...

Hillary Rodham Clinton adviser James Carville is refusing to apologize for comparing New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson to Judas.

"That's typical of many of the people around Senator Clinton," Richardson said on Fox. "They think they have a sense of entitlement to the presidency."

Does anyone take Carville seriously any more?

Why?
