Over at DailyDross, something called Hunter inveighs mightily against congressional do-nothingism on Iraq:
Let me try and make something clear to the Democratic members of the House and Senate. There's a world of hurt coming your way, and time is running out.You'll pardon me while I remove my soiled culottes.
What "world of hurt" this could be is beyond my ken. Here you have a Democratic partisan on a Democratic party blog dedicated to electing Democrats at all levels of government. Come, children, let us remember together:
This is a Democratic blog, a partisan blog. One that recognizes that Democrats run from left to right on the ideological spectrum, and yet we're all still in this fight together.Not exactly Demonsthenesian in its biting grandeur, but clear enough. The closest our Netrootsian Narcissi ever got to that nec plus ultra of the online Donkle daisy chain was the infamous Ned Lamont victory in the Connecticut Democratic primary, but then Lamont pulled the exceeding miracle of making the Lieb look like Dolf Lungren in the early scenes of Rocky Whateveritwas. Apparently some Navy drone named Joe Sestak got elected here in my Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as well, but the one and only time I caught him speaking on the television, I thought he looked and sounded like George Bailey after an age or two of sexual gimpery to a particularly brutish Clarence-the-Angel. Not entirely stable. Not altogether there.
[...]
Liberal? Yeah, we're around here and we're proud. But it's not a liberal blog. It's a Democratic blog with one goal in mind: electoral victory.
In other words, Hunter is working for a platform that elects schmoes and know-nothings--that makes it its very raise d'être to do so--and that schemes endlessly to increase the advantage of those schmoes and know-nothings already clutching at the strings of the fat national balloon. And we're to believe, somehow, that in his other pocket lurks some unnamed anathemas to hurl against the institutional Donkle's jiggling flank? I wouldn't believe it if I saw it.

The only "Hunter" this bozo reminds me of is Elmer Fudd: "You dwatted Dem!" Taking umpteen paragraphs to state the obvious - that his beloved Dems euchred the netroots - doesn't lend any force to his words.
Re Sestak, I don't know much about him other than that he's on the board of directors of the nonprofit I'm going to work for next week. He wouldn't have to do too much, though, to look like a Founding Father compared to the guy he replaced. Weldon manages to be both insane and corrupt, a combination far more intriguing in literature than in real life.
Hunter's only threat is "we'll work against you in the primaries". That worked for exposing what a piece of crap Lieberman is, but didn't actually stop him from being reëlected.
Out of Iraq by September 2008 so we can do our little "It's the economy, stupid!" dance. Seems to me I remember something like that -- oh, one of these Septembers past. AUMF anybody?
And I'm a big D Democrat.
Hunter, it should be noted, is DailyKos's primary idealogical bully. Hunter of trolls who might not be pure Democrats. So it's actually a bit more interesting than it appears.
It's a special kind of dementia they have over at Little Orange Footballs. One must keep in mind the pwoggie faux-activist motto: "Words Not Deeds!" Of the two things the democrat elites could possibly want from gutless bloviators like Hunter, money and votes, pwogs will withhold neither.
Even more hilarious, they admit this basic spinelessness proudly. Having given up the only two things with which they could pressure their congresscritter, these towers of Jello strike a heroic prose pose and proudly proclaim: "We demand nothing!"
"world of hurt"... What a choice quote. I think the false sense of betrayal is what amuses me most.
Hunter is channeling Walter Sobchak with his "world of pain". Sorry, but I believe there is a Lebowski connection to almost everything.
Oh, comandante, can't you just picture him murmuring darkly: "League play."
Smithee, that's "Capital D-Mentia."
