Ooh Look, A Window To the Past

Not going to lie, I had to change the channel a little ways into "Meet the Press" today. I feel like the bookers to do a show with the most annoying past candidates they could find. Mission Accomplished.

I felt like Lieberman was smarmy when he ran for VP, especially compared to Al Gore, who was so authentic it was sometimes hard to watch as he tried to make his obvious intelligence palatable for voters. Lieberman, on the other hand? Barely memorable, which in the long run is probably for the best. I wonder if he needs to see a doctor - riding that fence the way he is has got to hurt:

In the house to counter Lieberman? John Kerry, whose 2004 campaignzzzzzzzzzzzz...........sorry about that, happens every time.

Who on Team Obama thinks it is a good idea to send him out as a top surrogate? Did they sleep through the last election (okay, totally possible, I fall asleep just thinkingzzzzzzzzzzzz........dammit)? Seriously, this is on par with hiring your opponent's fired campaign manager. Oh wait.

When Lieberman is handing you your ass, it's time to go back to debate school:

One other thing, Senator Kerry - stop bagging on Wes Clark. It's rude, considering he went to the mat for you in '04.

Please Seek Professional Help

Maureen Dowd really needs help.

The primary is long over, there are serious issues to discuss in the upcoming election (stupid ones too) - yet she continues to yammer on about Hillary, Hillary's supporters and her weird love-hate playground crush on Obama. She needs help (or at least some perspective from her editors). Watching her hurtle further into irrelevance is painful, especially on such a high-profile platform.

PS - MoDo, your complaints about "whining" would have a lot more weight if they weren't so hypocritical. Please grow up.
