I sat back thinking about all that's been going on between the two camps and thought to myself: "That's entertainment."

::::::::

Bicker with each other. I enjoy watching the supporters go at each other like children being accused of doing something wrong who say, "He/She did it first," to the person reprimanding them.

While the writers are on strike, I just sit back and watch the exchanges between Obama's camp and Hillary's camp. Television episodes could never be better than this.

It's too bad Howard Dean wants to break up this infighting with whatever secret plan he has in the back of his mind. But on the other hand, that makes it so much better.

Because both camps know this is deadlocked, each camp will now pander to the Democratic establishment to try to get the establishment to pick their candidate, which means more bickering.

Hillary offers more experience. Obama offers change we can believe in. Hillary has already been in the White House. Obama can beat a Republican while Hillary can't because polls show Republicans consistently beat Hillary. Hillary is a feminist that women can believe in. Obama is a brother that black people can count on. Hillary is Mother Teresa and Barack Obama is Martin Luther King Jr. with a dash of Nelson Mandela inside of him too.

Luckily, this is okay for the Democratic Party right now because the Republican Party called Huckabee a "spoiler" and he won states on Super Tuesday. And Romney dropped out making McCain more likely to be the GOP nominee and so likely that Rush Limbaugh just called the pharmacy for some more Oxycontin and I think Ann Coulter just burned an effigy of John McCain outside of a Focus on the Family Convention.



So, while Iraqis burn to death and U.S. soldiers die because private contractors are getting in the way, while the credit & banking industry rapes the poor and middle class, while the insurance companies continue to get rich quick off of health care, and while Bush and Cheney enjoy a conversation that goes something like, "935 lies? I thought it was more. Anyhow, it's not like the House or Senate is going to do anything. How about another round? [chuckle]"...

...Enjoy knowing that the Democratic Party's two leading candidates bickering (one of which you support) is shifting focus from the real issues in America to something more akin to a Rosie O'Donnell vs. Donald Trump tiff, which the corporate media cannot do enough coverage of.
