Aura of a Reiman

It’s been disheartening to watch some fellow Dem bloggers shamelessly turn into Anti-Obama Rottweilers this primary season, but it’s downright depressing to see one of my favorite polisnarkers mutate into fucking Tonya Reiman:

If I were an Obama supporter, I’d spend less time making jokey parallels about yesterday’s Kentucky Derby and more time trying to defend/explain away the startling, unflattering contrast between Hillary and Obama on the Sunday morning talkshows: She, so commanding and “up” on ABC’s This Week; he, so slumped forward, beleagured-looking, and low-energy on NBC’s Meet the Press. Because he sure isn’t carrying himself with the aura of a winner.

I don’t know how much more of this I can take.

That is just going to fucking far, but that’s Fox News for you. Always trying to manufacture news when it’s not there.

"commanding and up”?  Yeesh…

She’s the worst actress I’ve seen in years, frankly.  Everything she says comes across as fake and affected, leaving me to believe there’s nothing inside her anymore.  There’s certainly no sincerity in her speeches - it’s the same crap we’ve been hearing for years, in a higher voice.

I never would have taken Wolcott for a Hillary supporter, but maybe I didn’t read him often enough.
