Forty One Pages of Whoopass
The closer we get to an election, the more mushy Halperin's brain seems to get. Back when he was writing the Note, as Election Day approached, his knowing, yet utterly incoherent insider's codetalk gibberish would get so opaque that it'd make you damn near make your head explode in sheer annoyance. Since he started "The Page," he at least addresses his comments to the actual readers instead of his imaginary "Gang of 500," but the closer the election gets, the more CW bound his mind becomes.
Nonetheless, I check in on the Page frequently. Doing so had allowed me to free myself completely from the tyranny of the Talking Hairdos. Instead, I can find out what all the cool kids will be blathering about tonight and tomorrow in one, nasty, yet concentrated dose.
So, yes, sometimes, Halperin is a tool himself, but The Page is always a valuable tool for those who've decided they can no longer stomach Tweety and his pals yet still want to know what the MSM is yammering about today.
Which brings me to tonight's post.
For everyone during the primaries who said Obama would crumple when the Swiftboaters came, and for those of you who've been inclinded to fret a bit about whether he was hitting hard enough, I give you <a href="http://thepage.time.com/2008/08/14/this-man-wont-be-swift-boated/">tomorrow's MSM consensus, courtesy of our pal Halperin.</a>
And, as an added bonus, also courtesy of my pal Mark, I give you the Obama campaign's<a href=""http://markhalperin.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/unfit_for_publication.pdf> 41 page bitchslap of Corsi</a> which led to Halperin's pronouncement.
And those of you protesting that the people who buy the book will never read it, especially with it only being on the Internet, are rather mising the point. I guarentee you everyone in the campaign MSM patrol has read, or will read it, tonight if only because Halperin says they should. At worst, they come away reporting that Obama's shown he knows how to kick ass when this kind of thing happens. At best, they use it at their primer on how to take this lowlife scumsucking pusbucket apart.
And, if we're really, really lucky, this becomes the beginning of a narrative about how the Republicans are so bereft of ideas, and so utterly morally bankrupt, that all they got left is slinging filth.
Okay, right. Never happen, but one can dream.

Axelrod will not allow our campaign to be swift boated again like in 2004
"We will not bring a knife to this gunfight , we will bring a bigger GUN ."
( paraphrasing a recent Obama speech )
I am praying that that the repproachment with the Clintonista is real -and after the convention we can unleash President Clinton's "inner Bubba "to go after the Swiftboaters -We must remember that Carville, Begala et al beat the republican wingnuts like a bass drum during the 90's ( "Impeachment - Tom Delay -Hey I got your impeachment right here ! ')
So we really need the two Clintons-and their organization on board to battle back these slime buckets-
Plus it will give President Clinton the opportunity to mend some fences with the Democrats . And love them or hate him -ain't no better surrogates to go out there and do close quarter MSM combat with the wing nuts then the Clintonistas -
I just pray we can all appeal "to our better angels " at the convention "....
