The Joy Of Blogging by John Cole
One of the real joys of blogging is the mail, and since Obama was inaugurated, every single day I get spammed email from Clinton supporters about "how all my whoring for Obama" paid off or something to that effect, complete with a cut and paste of an entire Glenn Greenwald post (I read him every day as it is, folks, so you can save yourself the time) and a little note explaining to me that Obama's human rights sins are worse than the Bush era and might even rival the Khmer Rouge. Seriously. Nowhere does it seem to occur to them that as Hillary is working with Obama, there is no reason to think that were she President things would be much different. Nor has it occurred to any of them that the first few weeks of an administration is a touch early to judge the record and overall direction. The weirdest thing is these are allegedly lefties- but at no time during the past eight years did I get the steady email trashing me for voting for Bush. Just weird. The Clinton cult is a strange, strange thing. ~~ John Cole, former Republican http://www.balloon-juice.com/?p=17441
