The influential progressive historian Richard Hofstadter described American politics as often an arena for angry minds. He coined the term <a href

...my favorite aspect of the Gennifer Flowers story has always been that at the same time Bill Clinton was claiming the Flowers audio tapes were fakes, he apologized to Mario Cuomo for calling him a “Mafiosi” on one of them. Somehow, Clinton’s supporters didn’t seem to mind the contradiction.

One of the talking heads on TV said that Democrats fall in love with their candidates.  Sadly, none of the red flags in WJC’s history could dampen the enthusiasm for him.  I wonder how he feels now when that magic is no longer working.

Carville’s speech, with a few name changes could be used to defend Obama.  The shoe is on the other foot now. I doubt that any of Obama’s supporters care how his story about Rev. Rage has changed over the past week.  The left is in love with Obama and not in love with the Clinton’s anymore.  Imagine Bill Clinton talking about the importance of a presidential candidate “loving our country” 6 months ago.

Thanks for the video.  I had forgotten why I no longer watch This Week.

Democrats now revile the Clintons who they loved so dearly and stood by so loyally. Remember the proudest day of Al Gore’s life? The Clinton’s are the same people they always were; so, what changed? The New Kid. Just like in 5th grade when Jake Martin showed up and all of a sudden Sally McGuire stopped meeting me at the library after school. The pain! I just hope the Clintons understand what I understood--that it ain’t about your cleverness or your looks or your credentials; it’s You. It’s personal, Hillary.

Interesting sidebar to the General McPeak story-Captain Ed at Hot Air is noting today that said General, back in 2003, actually predicted we’d be in Iraq for a hundred years. Sound familiar?

The liberals are eating their own. I really never thought I would see the day that this would happen. The 8 years of Clinton are no longer revered by the left. They are now bowing down to Obama, the prophet, drank the kool-aid, whatever you want to call it and they have no clue.

As an Air Force officer in the Pacific 20 years ago, I had the opportunity to brief General McPeak on more than one occasion.

I wrote about those experiences—and about my interaction with the general—in a post, Retired General Succumbs to ‘Obamamania’.

I think you’ll find it enlightening and worth sharing as it helps one understand why, mistakenly, the general supports Obama.

Interesting post, McCarty ...

Retired General Succumbs to ‘Obamamania’

February 26th, 2008

<snip>

During a long and distinguished Air Force career, General McPeak became known as a tough, to-the-point leader with a reputation for wasting no time when it came to sacking individuals who failed to meet his high standards. Most memorable about each of the briefings I delivered in the 313th Air Division conference room was the fact that the general spoke hardly a word and asked no questions of me.

Roughly ten minutes. Few words. No questions.

Maybe that’s the reason he’s supporting Obama now: He hasn’t asked the tough questions and, therefore, doesn’t know enough about the junior senator from Illinois.

On the other hand, maybe General McPeak is simply bucking for an Obama Cabinet post — perhaps as Secretary of Defense. That wouldn’t surprise me at all.
