	<description>Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don't say you weren't warned. By the way, this blog's name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, "All politics is applesauce."</description>

		<description>Hey, Rover: You don't have to address me as "Mr. Cunningham." We're all friends here.  A mere "Sir" will suffice.</description>

		<description>Hey Mr. Cunningham,

We all have our bad days.   Anyone who keeps up with what is presented to us as "news" can't help but being adversely affected by it all sometimes.

But what's really bad is that one of the only two Democrats left in the race is a woman who long-ago abandoned all every last vestige of whatever integrity she might have once had in order to claw her way up to where she is today.

Nominating Clinton in 2008 would be as bad or worse for the Democrats as nominating Hubert Humphrey was back in 1968.  McCain, despite being integrity-challenged himself, would win in a breeze and the Democratic party would be seriously wounded if not outright destroyed.

Finally, in support of my poetic offering below, please consider this:  Hillary has said that she is an agent of change, but she has been endorsed by Morgan Stanley Chief Executive Officer John Mack, a man who raised at least $200,000 for Bush's re-election campaign in 2004.

Mack said that he appreciated Clinton's grasp of financial and health-care issues.
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&#38;sid=aHP.8h8ozCwU&#38;refer=home

If that's so, then he must believe that despite her calls for "change", Hillary is in bed with the same Wall Street financial priorities as Bush is, and it pays.

Hillary is not content to cuddle up only with wealthy economic conservatives.  She has also played political kissy-face with social conservatives by sponsoring a flag-protection amendment:

"Along with Sen. Robert Bennett, a Utah Republican, she has introduced a bill that would make flag burning illegal. It is probably important to note that this is not a proposed constitutional amendment, and it is written in a cutesy way that does not explicitly outlaw all flag burnings -- just those intended to "intimidate any person or group of persons."

And so I will say it again:

Hillary Clinton, Corporate Whore,
Never had a draft card, Loves to go to war.
'Cause Hillary Clinton's priorities are these:
The left gets words; the right gets deeds.</description>

		<description>Hey, RedRover: Whore away, Dude (or Dudette, if you're of the female persuasion). I'm in a more permissive mood today. I was off my meds yesterday. Heh, heh.</description>

		<description>Kevin: I'm unable to comment on the piece to which you linked, because I'm having trouble with my system here.  Damn Comcast. But thanks.  Sooner or later, I'll read it.</description>

		<description>Well, gee whiz, Mr. Cunningham, may I use the phrase "corporate whore" to characterize a male politician?

Or is that also verboten?

Here's the Urban Dictionary's definition of that phrase:

"One who has sold more than their labor to the corporation; one who has forsaken personal values and constitution for corporate $$; meaning of "whore" belittled when preceded by the word “corporate”; person who will sell their soul for $$."

Can you provide me with a better way of expressing those concepts?

Also, did you notice that my comment was a poem, with "whore" rhyming with "war"?

Finally, why all this censorship really necessary?  Politics is a tough business.   I believe that Hillary has repeatedly insisted that she is tough enough to take the heat.  So why do you feel you have to protect her?</description>

		<description>NOTICE: I've deleted a comment here that used an unacceptable word to characterize Hillary Clinton.  It was a close call, but I just can't allow the W-word for prostitute to be used against a woman in this case. The commenter otherwise is welcome to give it another go here..</description>
