It's not every activist politico who gets to write a post in the Washington Times that begins like this: "As I sat by my window and staring out at the wonderful Washington, D.C., landscape, my office announced a phone call from Air Force One."
Evidently, Donna Brazile was reminding all the little people on Capitol Hill that she had friends in high places. In the summer of 2007, Karl Rove wasn't answering any subpoenas from Congress, but he didn't mind talking to her. From his perch at 20,000 feet, seated beside the President, Rove informed Brazile that it was time for him to get out of Dodge.
“Mr. Rove's resignation is not a retirement,” the Democratic strategist reassured readers of the right-of-center newspaper. “It's just another opportunity for him to create that lasting Republican majority he envisioned years ago and to spend his waking days doing what he so enjoys — beating Democrats in the alleys and gutters. Just ask Sen. Hillary Clinton, Mr. Rove's target when he called in to speak to Rush Limbaugh. He couldn't help it. Mr. Rove just had to take one last shot before riding out of town. More to come, Team Clinton.”

So, now, not only Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, John Dean, the DNC & Rules & By-Laws Committee have "fixed" the Democratic nominee process, but Donna Brazile too. Did anyone watch the Rules & By-Laws Committee meeting on C-Span? While Jim Blanchard, former Governor of Michigan, pled Hillary's case to count her votes in Michigan and Florida, Donna Brazile branded him a "cheater". The mainstream media has never mentioned a word of this in all these weeks. Seems the Democrats can't win a Presidential election without cheating, either. This party has no integrity! I'm looking for a new party.
Looks like the Dems have a bunch of DINOs working with KKKarl & BushCons; no wonder impeachment is off the table.
I have never trusted Donna Brazile. It has been clear to me that she is one of the Nobama supporter. All of the members of the current DNC (and some of the super delegates) have made decision to derial Hillary campaign a long time ago.
I am sorry to hear today that Hillary will campaign for Mr. Nobama twice in August. I understand that Hillary has to do what the DNC put the pressure upon her. However, there is no way that Mr. Nobama will get my vote. Hope that several millions of us will agree with me.
That Donna, she sure does cut under my fingernails.
This primary was the worst coverage ever by all media outlets. It was unfair to the Clinton family. Now the Democrats have a weak and inexperienced nominee because of the sexist views of Senator Clinton and the poor biased reporting favoring Senator Obama.
I won't miss reading another treatise by a man or woman, of the left or right, who says that sexism has had not even a teeny-weeny bit of influence on the course of the Democratic campaign. To hint that sexism might possibly have had a minimal role is to play that risible "gender card."
Most of all, I will not miss the silence.
I will not miss the deafening, depressing silence of Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean or other leading Democrats, who to my knowledge (with the exception of Sen. Barbara Mikulski of Maryland) haven't publicly uttered a word of outrage at the unrelenting, sex-based hate that has been hurled at a former first lady and two-term senator from New York.
Among those holding their tongues are hundreds of Democrats for whom Clinton has campaigned and raised millions of dollars. Don Imus endured more public ire from the political class when he insulted the Rutgers University women's basketball team.
Would the silence prevail if Obama's likeness were put on a tap-dancing doll that was sold at airports? Would the media figures who dole out precious face time to these politicians be such pals if they'd compared Obama with a character in a blaxploitation film? And how would crude references to Obama's sex organs play?
There are many reasons Clinton is lost the nomination contest, some having to do with her strategic mistakes, others with the groundswell for "change." But for all Clinton's political blemishes, the darker stain that has been exposed is the hatred of women that is accepted as a part of our culture.
This has been a disgrace for Democrats and to date the DNC had minimal remarks about the issue. They should be outraged.
I am saddened and angry. My entire community will not be voting for Obama this November.

Donna Brazile supported Obama from the beginning.
She destroyed Hillary's chances daily on CNN.
I was disgusted with her silence when CNN was belittling Senator Clinton.
She would not stand up for her, but couldn't say enough about Obama.
Donna should be ashamed of herself.
I am not sure the DNC/DEAN/brazile/Kerry/Kennedy understand what the Democratic National convention is about...it's not about who they like or are in the corner with it is suppose to be about who their party memebers, US want to represent us as the nominee...by the popular vote it was obviously Senator Clinton...regardless of how the DNc cheated and tiwsted the delegates so OBAMA would win...it is about OUR VOTES...and the DNC took that away from us and made it their descision...We are a huge community of police orginazations and factories and even country clubs....people from all walks of the community and we have all gotten together and we will NOT...repeat NOT for the benefit of the DNC, who cannot listen to us....NOT VOTE FOR thier pick, OBAMA....got it? EVEN if Senator Clinton were to be asked to be VP..we are NOT VOTING OBAMA..we are voting for MCCAIN...at least he is honest...and we know him and who he is...and most of all, he doesn't change his speech, to satisfy his audience...in other words, he isn't a phoney...or wear the label,"liar, liar, pants on fire."
