Matt---Your snarkiness is getting to be really fucking annoying. Making fun of the Clinton's ain't clever. It takes little wit and it's just getting repetitive. Please---talk about something substantive. You're boring us...
I thought it was funny.
You're easily pleased.
john, it seems you're easily pissed and definitely free to read something else.
Jeff---I am?!?!?! Did you go to Harvard, too? You guys are genius...GENIUS! Thanks for the tip.
The Teamsters don't count. Unions only count if they have more than four letters in their name, but the name can still only be pronounced as a series of words.
Also, john, who's "us"?
I think it's funny.
Maybe I'm easily amused.
But the Chris Bowers' statistics Matt linked to earlier are really interesting. It is a bourgeouis revolution with the Clintons as the ancien regime at least as far as donors are concerned.
If the Teamsters feel Obama's tough enough, he probably is.
John to quote Heath Ledger's Joker: "Why so serious?"
Repurposing an comment I left on the Ambinder post about this:
I'm not expecting it from The Atlantic, but the backstory involves NAFTA. While Hillary might or might not have favored that, currently the Teamsters are fighting one of its provisions. I believe they might have sued since then. Despite the possibility of her support for that which is currently causing them grief, Obama is definitely even more OpenBorders than she is, so they'd seem to be endorsing against interest.

You're easily pissed off.
If Obama can add a wing of Amphetamine Liberals to his existing coalition of Latté Liberals and Newport Menthol Liberals, that will certainly add a bit of energy and excitement to this campaign.
Am I pushing the limits of the new "no posting objectionable material" policy yet?
"Matt---Your snarkiness is getting to be really fucking annoying."
Matt, how do you manage to live with yourself when John is annoyed? He's in pain, dude.
Ditto Jeffrey Davis. Complaining about Matt being snarky is like complaining about vindaloo being too spicy.
Your snarkiness is getting to be really fucking annoying.
Matt, please ignore this.
Also, please don't change your prediction, and please keep predicting the individual primary states in her favor.
If it ain't broke...
Your snarkiness is getting to be really fucking annoying.
Nothing worse than snarky cultists, I'll agree with you there. As a pre-Iowa Obamabot, I'll own up to that. Guilty as chargerd.

Clinton campaign says something stupid to attack Obama
Bloggers make fun of Clinton using same language, but funny.
Clinton fans whine, "that's not funny!"
All the Clinton fans need to do to break this cycle is to make their first attack *intentionally* funny. Right now people are just laughing at you, not with you.
And on the 7th day Glog said "Let there be snark."
Teamsters, like all union members, like to back a presumed winner.
Behind the snark is, of course, the serious point that Obama is picking up lots of blue collar, working class support. Perhaps it's this unhappy truth that so aggravates Hillary zealots. Moreover, if the Clinton campaign doesn't want to be the butt of jokes, perhaps they shouldn't push laughable spin.
hmm Matt, why so bitter? Shouldn't you be happy today?
Who needs snarkiness when you can see her twirling around clapping like a mechanical Donald Duck with that plastic chipmunk grin as the losses pile up one after the other?

Another meme, smothered in its crib.

By the way, does anyone know that Cindy McCain, the women, JM married when she was 25 and left his familly for, so he could launch his political career with her money is a former drug addict.

Somewhat offtopic, but this is really extraordinary and ought to get some play.
Taylor Marsh takes exception to Bill O'Reilly lynching comment re: Michelle Obama. Partly because that's an awful thing to say. But mostly because O'Reilly's blunder distracts from the crucial issue of impugning Michelle Obama's patriotism:

Stay classy, Taylor Marsh.
Remember when Petey thought Obama was the wine-track candidate and therefore doomed? That's al right, Petey doesn't remember either.
How many Teamsters does it take to screw in a light bulb?
37. You got a problem with that?
Sign along I-20 in Alabama: "Bonsai $35 and up. Turn left next exit. Truckers welcome."
I agree, if I wanted to read predictable, poor attempts at humor, I'd go read Althouse or something.
I feel like I'm surrounded by the types of nouveau riche kids in college that act like that if they only find opera funny, they are somehow smart and classy. MY was snarky before this primary campaign. He's a hipster dorky prep school-Ivy League blogger who listens to Pitchforkmedia music. What do you expect?
