The Crying Game

Good grief, the man who cried for the death of democracy after the Wisconsin recall election in a thoroughly mock-worthy way had a second and third go at reminding us of that glorious fail:



The man is shocked--shocked--that money is under our politics. I guess he didn't hear about President Obama abandoning public financing in the 2008 general to carpet bomb McCain in the fall with money-purchased advertising. I wasn't happy about it, but I didn't whine that democracy was stolen. Frankly, it was partly an inside job based on how McCain campaigned.

Until we learn to mind meld, money is how we convey our competing ideas. Then we vote.

His side lost that Wisconsin vote. And the lamentation of their Mikes is music to my ears. Keep digging, dude.
