Self-deprecation is worth its weight in smoldering phoenix-ashes and baby unicorn tears.

DATELINE: This weekend. What time? Darned if I know. It actually happened like early Sunday for those of us who live on the right side of the world.

The Rules Committee of the DNC finally figured out what to do about the whole Michigan/Florida mess (every election, I swear . . . Florida, you're out of the family. We don't want you or your Disney World anymore), and the Hillary supporters are rabid. Like, Old Yeller but worse.

Ridiculous.

Laughable. But I find this especially creepy. While I have no doubt that Obama supporters could possibly be crazy like unto these Clinton squawkers, the following article takes the cake. They're getting so pissed off about this they're declaring that they're going to make sure McCain wins.

Smooth, jackasses. Rather than continue to support the party, you're going to get your undies in a bunch and call mommy to dry your tears.

Again, I don't know what other Obama supporters would do in this situation, but I'll tell you what this Obama supporter would do if Hillary won the nomination - HELP THE PARTY ANYWAY. This sycophantic devotion to the candidate rather than the ideals is, frankly, embarrassing for all involved. Both sides should drop it, but it's the Hillo-bots that are especially egregious today.

I'm seeing this as a horrible portent of things to come. I think Bob Cesca explained the probable moves of the Hillary-lovers better than I could, so I'll quote him:

Another indication that the Clinton faction will ultimately split from the Democratic Party. They now have an excuse -- however specious -- to demonize the party itself. To quote Gandalf: "The board is set and the pieces are moving."

The strategy:

1) Target the party as misogynists and election thieves.
2) Continue to paint Senator Obama as a weakling McGovern type.
3) Continue to fight and appear, in contrast, "strong".
4) Split from the party, or conduct an active write-in campaign for November.
5) Pull enough votes away from Senator Obama to give Senator McCain the win.
6) Run again in 2012.

I hope I'm wrong.

I hope you're wrong, too, Bob. Because that's about the dumbest-ass thing they could do. The last thing I'd like is McCain as the next president of the United States. (Of course, I can always wish upon a star and hope he picks Romney or Huckabee as his running mate, making him virtually unelectable - and possibly handing the election back to the Demos.)

But come on, Hillary supporters. You're getting pathetic.

This is hilarious!

ThePolitico is a perfect example of a party line moron who's head would explode if they tried to think for themselves.

Personally I think that anyone who votes along party lines is a complete moron who is too lazy and/or stupid to research individual candidates. I'll remain an independent and the articles and videos in the OP (as well as some of the following comments) are a perfect example of why.

It's time the People rejected the dominant parties and started thinking for themselves. But then most are probably just too wrapped up in American Idol to be bothered.

I do research all the candidates and have yet to find a Republican who is deserving of a vote unless I was voting to destroy the planet.

This statement alone proves that you are either a liar or very, very stupid. You're obviously a party lemming, plain and simple. If you weren't you wouldn't have made reference to one of the two main parties.

Despite what you lemmings believe there are more than two parties as well as independents. You've unveiled your obvious party line affiliation as well as your lazy stupidity.

You've unveiled your obvious lack of intelligence and sycophantic devotion to the Republican lord god GW Bush.

How mindless do you have to be to have read that into anything he said? You are the kind of democrat that embarrass other democrats by the association.

Morons tend to ruin a lot of things simply because people grow weary of reading their inane statements.

Once again, I'm not a Republican you stupid shit. How many times did you have to run spell checker to get it right this time? You're a sick joke.
