"Fuss." Cute. He said he was glad the particular people got killed, that they deserved it. I can see why you would want to minimize a popular Dem blogger saying that. "Fuss."

Yet another example of your standard Kill The Messenger gambit.

The Messenger is a shit. Maybe you can get past things like that. I can't. He has shown in the past to be able to make any leap of logic if it serves his preconceived ideas. Given how easy it is to blog a philosophy - I still say I could play your part on this board quite well, maybe better than most - he has disqualified himself, in my mind, from any serious consideration. Like Iglesias, he's not worth the time to read. Hell, I could make socialism and murder sound good in a blog if I tried.
But, on to the reason I came back. The NYT has an article on Clinton's new book, due out in mid-summer. Dems are (it says) rather frantic that the timing will "suck the air out of" Kerry's campaign at a critical time, taking away attention from Kerry, and re-energizing the committed Clinton haters at a time when they might well sit quietly otherwise.
I guess my take on it is different. This is more of a "hate Bush" campaign than a "love Kerry" one, and I suspect that a Clinton book, with his normal self-effacing (?!) themes, will cause more comparison to Bush, to Bush's harm, and will only help Kerry.
So, should the Dems push Clinton to publish as soon as possible (so the effect wears off in time), or right before the election?
