Nutroots out

As The Worm Turns

Hoooo-ahhhh

“ ITEM: House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said Monday that a strongly positive report on progress on Iraq by Army Gen. David Petraeus likely would split Democrats in the House and impede his party's efforts to press for a timetable to end the war. ITEM: Kansas Congresswoman (D) Nancy Boyda found three-star General John Keane’s (ret.) positive report about Iraq so upsetting that she had to leave the briefing room in a huff. ITEM: Rahm Emanuel, who is referred to by nut roots on KOS as the Democrat's Karl Rove (with emphasis on the evil) held a weekend powwow with Sen. Dick Turban, and other Donks - but House and Senate leadership were not invited.  The buzz is that Rahm smells the coffee and is counseling that Democrats cut ties with Pelosi, Reid, and the Kos nut roots who have become a huge image problem. The winner? Hillary Clinton who did initially support the war, and stands to inherit a winning strategy. ” This item you might miss at the bottom of the Town Hall link about Boyda sums up the liberal mindset. “ ODDLY ENOUGH, ANDREW SULLIVAN provides the perfect coda to our debut of the Nancy Boyda Award. Earlier today, Andrew was slightly miffed that I suggested that “the left and other anti-war figures like Andrew Sullivan have a lot invested in this war failing and failing miserably.” Andrew took delight when someone took my logic and inverted it, writing, “The right and other pro-war figures like Dean Barnett have a lot invested in this war succeeding and succeeding well.” Andrew commented with a portentous and approving “Hmmmmm.” Probably unwittingly, Andrew has confirmed my theory that this war’s opponents have forgotten something basic and elemental: Every American, regardless of his party affiliation or political philosophy, has “a lot invested in this war succeeding and succeeding well.” Andrew Sullivan used to know that. Best to ask him why he’s forgotten it. ”
