Lest We Forget History

This is one of those stories that has gone down the memory hole (for those who don't have a clue as to what 'memory hole' refers, you really need to read this).

The man who is sometimes called (by Progressives) The Lion of the Senate, was in contact with the Russians to attempt to influence the 1984 election - how appropriate - by persuading the Soviets to work with American media to get their side of the nuclear story out. Kennedy's goal? To defeat Reagan in that election.

By USING Soviet resources. Against a sitting American President.

More on the story at Front Page.

On a similar note:

Chelsea Clinton wrote a children's book - She Persisted. The phrase is based on an incident in which Sen. Elizabeth Warren was speaking from the floor of the Senate, but went over her allotted time. She continued speaking, despite warnings and admonishments. Eventually, her mic was turned off.

Really? Chelsea wrote a book celebrating the fact that a female talked too much? Something many men have complained about since forever?

This takedown of one of the women featured in the book is priceless. Chelsea is superficial in her treatment of the history of this woman, which is kind of a hallmark of the Clinton Kid.

Does Barack Have a Clue He's Just Been Outmaneuvered?

Hillary has just managed to get Michigan & Florida's full delegates restored. Is that a problem for Obama? Oh, NO, because:

The credentials committee's work is expected to win ratification by the whole convention Monday.

Florida has 211 delegates, including superdelegates, and Michigan has 157. Both states are expected to be battlegrounds in the November election.

Restoring their voting rights increases the total number of delegate votes at the convention to 4,419. It will take 2,210 delegates to win the nomination.

Obama ended the primaries with a 365-delegate lead over Clinton. Reinstating the Florida and Michigan delegates will not affect that lead because Obama has more endorsements from the states' superdelegates.

Mercy me, he has the Superdelegate Endorsement! Like that can't change (and did, in his favor, during the primaries, when he seemed unstoppable).

Lemme see, 211 (FL) + 157 (MI) = 366, by my count (of course, I'm just a women - you know we don't do math well). Is it possible that the Hillary additional delegates add up to more than the Obama delegates? Oh, dear, I wish I had more testosterone, it would make these complicated math thingys so much easier!

Hmm - I think - 366 is a bigger number than 365. Would that mean we're in for a REAL EXCITING TIME?

I hope so. This could be fun. Hillary, Bill, and Chelsea, all speaking before Obama hits the stage. Of course (mock serious face), they'll be praising Obama non-stop, not subtly finagling for a groundswell movement to vote Hillary in.

I love the smell of a back-room deal in the making!
