I sort of got distracted in that last post the same way Iowa caucus voters are distracted right now by former-Senator John Edwards' flashy jewelry and pretty words. I was talking about the praise that Senator Hillary Clinton was heaping upon me and other supportive websites that want to change the world into Hillaryworld. So before I get distracted again, let's let her say it:
"We are certainly better prepared and more focused on, you know, taking our arguments and making them effective and disseminating them widely and really putting together a network in the blogosphere, in a lot of the new progressive infrastructure, institutions that I helped to start and support, like Media Matters and Center for American Progress. We're beginning to match what I have said for years was the advantage of the other side. You know, when I made that comment, about the vast right-wing conspiracy, I wasn't kidding."
I'm loving every minute of it. This lady has it all, folks! Okay, I will say this, I'm going to have to go back and change what I've said in the past regarding the vast right-wing conspiracy (VRWC). After I read her autobiography (first day, first edition, first printing, not a dog ear nor a scratch on the dust jacket) and I was first becoming a progressive, I kind of went out and got in people's faces, backed them off the term VRWC. I've got my edition right here, I'll quote it for you:
"Looking back, I see that I might have phrased my point more artfully, but I
stand by the characterization of Starr's investigation [regardless of the truth
about Lewinsky]."
So I thought we weren't using that phrase anymore but I can be wrong. And when I am, I'll admit it in these pages; I'm a warts-and-all writer, friends. But anyway, thanks for the praise Senator Clinton; I'll be right here for you.
