.... that I have enjoyed the Hillary-Obama bloodbath.

(Although I am sure that these mortal enemies, were they to pause for a moment and reflect, would agree that they are united in their hatred of Nader.)

The reason I find it pleasurable to watch the Dems self destruct is mainy because I think it is necessary for the long run. But what makes this event notable is that it goes a long way to show that the truly nasty and hysterical DLC treatment of Nader was not unique to the issues and circumstances of the Nader candidacy. It is an equal opportunity dysfunctional nastiness, perfectly happy to aim its bile at anyone. No matter who's watching.

Besides, it has beeen refreshing to actually watch a Fray political slimeathon progress solely from the sidelines a a more or less uninterested observer. I join that wingnuts on the sidelines, beer in hand, and watch the cars zoom round and round, waiting for a wreck.

Folks. The Democratic party is useless and broken. Perhaps a loss to grandpa McCain is what it will take to make that point sink in.

But I am not holding my breath.
