Marc Cooper is a liberal.  He says progressive, but that really means liberal when you are too embarrased to say liberal. 

Having said that, Marc is also my blogfather and encouraged me to blog even when a very well known conservative blogger who's site I frequently commented on didn't even bother to respond to an e-mail when I asked about blogging and why and what and all that!

Marc however, has more than one redeeming grace, he can spot a phoney on the dems side faster than a thirsty man can down a bud.  Notice that I say on the dems side.  On the conservative side my good friend is still clueless.  

Actually Marc is one hell of a writer and a good friend and I'd have a beer with him anywhere, any time.  Marc's most recent post is a hum-dinger. Marc lays out why Hillary lost, according to Hillary that is.  An exerpt:

Hillary is losing because everyone who opposes her is a mysoginist.

Hillary is losing becausethe press hates her.

Hillary is losing becausethe debate moderators ask her the first questions.

Hillary is losing because Nevada hotel workers were suppressing the vote.

Hillary is losing because the activist base of her own party flooded the caucuses.

Hillary is losing because too many southern Blacks vote for Obama because he is Black.

Hillary is losing because there aren't enough hard-working, white people to support her.

Hillary is losing because the the Florida and Michigan primaries were disqualified (with her approval at the time because she was pandering to Iowa and New Hampshire).

Hillary is losing because her victory in the popular vote isn't being recognized (even though she isn't really wining the popular vote and even if the popular vote has nothing to do with the nomination).

Hillary is losing because her advantage inwinning electoral college votes hasn't been counted (even if there is no such thing in the primaries).

And now Hillary is losing because Obama is, well, still alive.

Did I miss something?

Or is Hillary just a loser?

The last few days has seenrenewed chatter about Clinton being named candidate for Veep. Far from a dream, this would be a veritable nightmare. I'm not mushy-headed about Obama (though I support him) and I'm not sure in how many ways he might wind up disappointing us.

But Hillary Clinton has revealed herself to be a decaying political carcass. And today the stench became just a bit too overwhelming. I can't think of anything worse on Obama's part than to saddle himself with this remnant of the past (not to speak of her plainly insufferable husband).
