Hill shines in KY moon

Hillary hooked a biggun in Kentucky and picks up 35 dele-gets with the help of her base vote, rednecks and crackers. At the beginning few predicted that Hillary’s most ardent support would come from gas guzzling, beer guzzling, Confederate flag decal voters, but all them Limbo-dittoes are lining up to put her on the ballot. Who woulda thunk it?

Perhaps it’s a reaction to how badly the Bush gang has betrayed conservative values with borrow and borrow and spend, military adventuring, trampling privacy rights in the universal name of Terror, privileges for the privileged and riches for the rich.

A place in the Sun-ate

The Clintons wanted to carry on the Kennedy tradition. Hillary can do exactly that by being the great liberal lion in the Senate who speaks for those who cannot speak for themselves. She has been that supporter, but if she were unfettered by presidential ambitions she could be the true bulwark of the Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter tradition of responsible government but responsive government.

The Current Occupant and Vice Occupant have stated forcefully and repeatedly that they don’t care what the American people think. And if anyone has even more of a reputation for not listening to anyone it is John McCain.

Kultral notes

For the record, the Beagle thinks that Jeremiah Wright is an American hero, an engaging preacher, a thoughtful spokesperson, and a positive force in the community. If some Christians had read the Bible they would know that the prophet Jeremiah also made some important people decidedly uncomfortable by spreeching the truth in his time.

Ask Dr. Hin?

Q: What is that smell?

A: It is the empty cases of Old Milwaukee commingled among the pizza boxes at a campaign headquarters.

Q. It seems about twice as bad as I’m used to? What is the deal? Shouldn’t they recycle?

A. Two competing camps encourage voters to go Democratic means twice as many active Democratic volunteers, and without ideological divisions, party regulars are confident there will be twice as many Democratic volunteers with recent experience who will unite behind the nominee.

Q. I feel better.
