NOT ME!

> I'm just not sure if I have it in me for another campaign at this point.

That's what he's counting on.

Just like the Russians assumed the Americans were tired at the end of WWI.

blithering to me is like when you're so excited and talking and spittle flies out of your mouth repeatedly... of course that's never happened to me.

now as for "spittle"....

I think it means bumbling mixed with the spittle thing.

Without looking it up to give you a dictionary definition worthy of the OED, "blithering" means babbling, jabbering, prattling. In short, it means talking without making sense.

That is, indeed, an apt description and to answer your question about what it adds to the term "idiot" it is essential in describing these moonbats. After all, in contrast they could be silent idiots and spare us all their noise, wasted ink and superfluous computer text bytes.

Well, without looking it up, I know that "blather" is nonsense, and I always thought that "blithering idiot" was just a screwed-up way of saying "blathering idiot". (King of like the way "founder" and "flounder" have been conflated)

Of course, I may just be partial to "blather" because once, in college, my genious, math major roommate received a math essay question back after grading. There was no comment on it other that "Blather" written in red ink at the top.

Best. Grade comment. Ever.

blathering is the word I am familiar with :) blithering sounds like something that happens when you are blathering in an english accent.

Btw, no one loathes nancy more than I. She is a serious piece of work.

Kris Kristofferson said it originally. But that's nitpicking, isn't it?

It works best if you're quoting Stimpy, so it sounds like:
"Bleethering eediot!"

My instinct is to tell Pelosi she is dead on.

Yep, you definitely lost as much as you can! The main thing is to focus on educating the ignorant in proper progressive values - particularly Hispanics and middle class whites. Point out the Courts are always wise in deciding such matters to those with less than a graduate degree.

Hillary will save you. You need more Michael Moore and Al Franken. Look how great their books sell! You need more "smirking chimp", Bush lied, foolish Bible-thumper messages. More Hollywood celebrities on talk shows saying why violent sex will become more commonplace under Republicans, literally (thanks Cameron).

More anger! Dammit, you have a right to be mad! Really mad!

Continue to tell blacks that Bush wants to screw them and only elite white Democrats can keep them happy and singing, and guarantee more affirmative action since they can't compete with other races because of the legacy of slavery.

Obviously, the backwards people also need more education on the need for gay marriage, gun bans, and the ACLU. The goals are right, it's just Democrats failed to beat their stupids heads enough with the truth.

Go, Nancy!

Steve:

That's actually Ren describing Stimpy. I lost too many brain cells to that show to forget that.

Cedarford, do you have a site or are you as lazy as I...am. Sorry for the prepostion. Anyway, you make good points. I just love the Democratic finger-puzzle.

"Progressive" postions/candidates cause them to lose, so, you know, they to get more, well, progressive. "Damnit, we're not liberal enough. Let's get more liberal."

Listen carefully to what they are saying about their own failings now. You see, they are not getting their message out. They're not reaching people in the red states. Because if they did, then those red staters would understand. For those red staters that they have reached, well, they are just stupid. It would never occur to dems that they might be wrong.

I love that they keep pulling harder on the finger puzzle. I can't wait for the '06 midterms.
