Brian & Tim & Barack & John: holding hands like blubbering babies...

http://www.dailyhowler.com/dh103107.shtml

LET�S PLAY TEE-BALL! Welch�s Lost Boys went after the witch, tee-ing it up for their brothers

<edit>

And we�ve refused to discuss the conduct which Dowd correctly describes in that passage. If you watched the debate, you saw what occurred: In fact, Russert and Williams �teed it up� for Obama and Edwards all night long. (Presumably, Dowd had an early deadline.) We thought their performance was simply stunning; there has never been a debate like it. That said, we thought Garance Franke-Ruta, live-blogging the session, had the eyes and the guts to see and say what was happening half-way through. She posted this at 9:57 Eastern, when the gang-bang staged by these weak-minded boys had reached a remarkable level:

FRANKE-RUTA: OK, this is now everybody�and I do mean everybody�against Clinton. It makes her look brave for just standing there, this small determined woman being attacked by three men on either side of her, two male moderators, and the entire male Republican field. Each of the critics on his own would be more effective, but taken as whole, the optics of this are uncomfortable.

In retrospect, we�ll go beyond that; in fact, the optics were pitiful. It was sad to see that Obama and Edwards would take part in such a Salem witch-dunk; of all the boys who stood on the stage, only Richardson had the decency to announce that he wouldn�t be part of it. (God bless the occasional man who stands up and says he won�t do this.) Of course, our nominee doesn�t have to be a woman to provoke this kind of ugly reaction; in Campaign 2000, the Dem nominee was a man, so Dowd just imagined that he was a woman, announcing that Gore was �so feminized he�s practically lactating.� (As has been quite plain for years, this person is deeply unwell.) But when the Democratic front-runner is a real woman, the press corps� multimillionaire culture warriors don�t have to imagine they�re slaying a lady. They can savage her right in the flesh! What a shame that Big Dems played along.

In the next few days, with transcripts (presumably) available, we�ll take a look at the remarkable questions posed last night by Welch�s Lost Boys. (We�ll compare them to the lazy softballs their island-mate served at the last GOP debate.) They were hired to serve this purpose, and they�ve served this purpose quite well; they trashed your nominee during Campaign 2000, and sent the world�s dumbest man to the White House. But if you tend to doubt the fact that their souls are driven by a gender madness, we�ll close today with a report from last night�s NBC Nightly News. The headline comes to us straight from Nexis. This really is the way someone at NBC News viewed last evening�s event. Look for men to go after Clinton, some poor broken loser cried out:

<edit>

At any rate, the �men� did go after Clinton last night�holding hands like blubbering babies, looking like frightened, wet-legged boys. Brian and Tim and Barack and John learned an inspiring lesson last night�if the four hold hands and help each other, they can work up their courage to dunk the vile witch. Yes, they did the same thing to Candidate Gore, simply pretending that he was a woman. But this will be done to Democratic front-runners as long as we Dems and libs permit it. And uh-oh! If the work of our brilliant web leaders provides clues, this will go on for a very long time. So will Republican control of the White House.
