PUMAs = Army of Ahabs

Update

To Tommy Christopher’s credit, he does come ot with an interview of Darragh Murphy

Before I do that, though, let me say that, after reading a lot of what she has to say, I still disagree heartily with her, but I also really like her. She’s got a real way with words, and a refreshing attitude toward discourse.

Fair enough.

Thanks to Alegre’s Corner a new PUMA reference was sighted. Clueless like the rest, but it dies have a new twist:

I don’t know that Iscol is an official PUMA, but judging from her pre-concession screed on Huffpo, I would say she’s at least a fellow traveler.

Obama’s supporters have reacted somewhat disappointingly so far to Obama’s solicitations for donations to retire Hillary’s debt. Their reticence, in turn, may stem from the army of Ahabs who prowl the internet, trying to get John McCain elected in Hillary’s name.

Yum! A literary reference! I like when cluelessness is diversified. I was getting fed up with the “alleged sexism in the media” (a bit of propaganda  speed by Dean along with “too bad I don’t have cable, or I might have said something”)

I confess to liking the “army” and the fact that they are wondering if someone is a PUMA or just a fellow traveler – that referential thought pattern is healthy and validating for us.

The departure is not that radical – we’re still irrationally vengeful (see Kinsley’s “What’s their problem?”)

but at least it allows for the possibility that “alleged” sexism is not all there is (we’re also GOP tools)

Again, it would be too much to expect them to actually comprehend our words, but trying more than one wrong theory is a good thing. And gets one right:

In conversations with insiders at a major TV news organization, I’ve noted a dismissiveness of the Dream Ticket story, particularly where the PUMA bloc is concerned.

I confess I like “block” too

“E” for effort….
