    The Republican party will take help wherever they can find it. If no existing (and/or self-respecting) media outlet will not report the spin they want, they simply create a media outlet that will. The only difference between Politico and the Washington Times is that the Times has an intermediary cult between it and the mother ship. Politico has a direct line. #politico

    Hello Politico? You there? Remember Harriet Miers? Bush's personal attorney who worked on his 2000 campaign? Who he later nominated to the Supreme Court and had to withdraw the bid cause it was just that ridiculous? Yeah *that* Harriet Miers, the one who gives President Obama license to appoint a fucking frog in a bear costume to the position of White House counsel. #politico

    I heard that the editors of Politico enjoy goatfucking. Questions arise whether that is true. But now that it's out there, it would be irresponsible not to investigate it. Also, did they kill anyone?

    Also, did they ask if Atty Gen Gonzo was qualified?

    "Questions arise whether incoming White House counsel Bob Bauer's experience as a partisan warrior is appropriate for the position."

    Frankly, I think a few more partisan warriors is exactly what this administration is sorely lacking.

    I'm so tired of (Democratic) campaigns that don't have the guts to go negative and twist the knife when they have got the goods. Whatever Plouffe did to help derail Edwards should be a point of pride for him, as I suspect it is. Anyone who refuses to educate the voters about his opponent's liabilities has failed his obligation as a candidate. #davidplouffe

    Considering the dirt that they could have dug up on Edwards, I'd say this is almost a non-story. Its only significance is the out-sized shit-storm it caused for the Edwards campaign. Media and the right wing going apeshit over a non-story is not new, but it's not always predictable.

    I am shocked! SHOCKED! that a campaign manager would do something like that.

    I am also shocked! SHOCKED! that Matthew Broderick isn't playing him in some upcoming Broadway musical about Barack Obama (with Nathan Lane as David Axelrod and Megan Mullally as Hillary Clinton) #davidplouffe

    Politico seemed a little more on the up-and-up back then, no? My impression is they went cuckoo after the election, when there was no longer the intense political interest to drive traffic and they had to invent controversy to keep people coming back. #davidplouffe

    @fuckingoldman: Eh, you didn't actually trust them to begin with, anyway, did you? I actually figured they were very capable politicians who mostly were allied with my own beliefs and interests, so this doesn't actually have any bearing on my level of faith in them at all.

    As far as it goes, dropping a $400 haircut seems awfully minor, given everything that's come out on Edwards since then. #davidplouffe

    @Go Like Hell Machine: You're right, I don't trust any politician, never have. I grew up in Jersey and learned at a young age about corrupt politicians, I had family in politics. The only place that can compete with Jersey in political corruption is Chicago. #davidplouffe

    @fuckingoldman: I don't know... I'm currently working for a couple months in Manila, and Filipinos laugh at me when I talk about any sort of political corruption. It's like comparing a pee wee football league to the Denver Broncos.

    I've been traveling in a lot of younger democracies recently, and I can't help but wonder if we should re-examine our own (highly, highly, highly corruptible) Democracy's past and compare it to the present before we get too defeated. #davidplouffe

    @Go Like Hell Machine: I believe that. Since I've been paying a lot more attention to what's been going on politically, I've started to question whether democracy is the best system. I think it's the only viable system in a country as large as ours, but I have no idea how we're going to fix something that's so broken.

    So how do you like the Philippines? My wife and I are looking for someplace to go for a couple of years and we've been leaning pretty hard toward Asia. If you want to PM me I'd be very interested in getting your opinions on places you've been. #davidplouffe
