Fresh from infecting previously progressive congresspeople with intent of dropping the public option, the dreaded disease is now taking over the party!
Corrente is noting Bill Moyers profound statements about the corruption of the Democratic party
You really have essentially — except for the progressives on the left of the Democratic Party – you really have two corporate parties who in their own way and their own time are serving the interests of basically a narrow set of economic interests in the country
these narrow interests seem to win, determine the outcomes, no matter how many Democrats are elected, no matter who has their hands on the levers of powers, these narrow interests determine the outcomes in Washington…
as I was saving these words for posterity, it struck me how conspicuusly absent Obama’s name was from all this. And not that no name was mentioned.
The villain fiend was here again. This is one of two paragraphs dedicated to him:
I think Rahm Emanuel, who is a clever politician, understands that the money for Obama’s re-election will come from the health care industry, from the drug industry, from Wall Street. And so he’s a corporate Democrat who is determined that there won’t be something in this legislation that will turn off these interests
Apparently, not only is Emmanuel holding poor Obama a prisoner in the basement while stomping over progressives and the party’s ideals, but he is obsessed with being re-elected too. Oh wait… Nevermind.
It was a cry of victory amongst B0bots when the RBC gave Obama Hillary delegates in states he didn’t run. Will anyone hold this guy accountable? Ever?

The MSM is really pushing the vaccine in New York, claiming that 10% of us already have it.
I wonder what neighborhood they’re in? Nothing here on the UWS, but most likely running rampant around the NYU campus where Bobots frolic merrily around the roadside KoolAid stands.

Anthony, when you see those many many manic MSM reports about H1n1 flu deaths, have you ever seen a mention of the number of deaths from other flu cases (not the H1n1 flu) for comparison?
Never have I seen the comparison. I suspect the H1n1 flu deaths are drastically tiny compared to the other flu deaths.

Enormously tinier. I will look for the comparative later and post a link.
FYI – I asked a doctor specializing in infectious disease at Mt. Sinai about it, and he said that although he would never turn down a request for a vaccination, he really doesn’t believe its anything more than just another money-making opportunity

Oprah can quake? Uh-oh, she better call Dr. Oz right away (or just take the damned boots off already).
Sounds serious to me…

I still don’t get it. Why do otherwise sane men, like Moyers, continue to trip over themselves to cover up for this guy?
All I see is a smug, cold opportunist, what the hell do they see?

You have to look at it this way: Even if Rahm is responsible for all the evil in the world (although he’s not that bright imho), Obama is responsible for Rahm. So there you have it: The buck stops with Teh Won no matter how you slice it!
