God that was a great night, trolling the pumakittie sites while she spoke.

Man, did I have a hangover the next day.

I was probably doing a bit of that myself, Len. ;->

It’s just interesting to me to revisit the public record of that week, given all the historical backfill that’s been dumped on it in the meantime.

How anyone ever saw this as a “coded message” that she was still “in it to win it” is beyond me. In hindsight, the game was already up.

the Orange Pantsuit of Permanent Resistance! ROAR!

We sat next to two older black women and an older black gentleman from South Carolina.  They were from Jim Clyburn’s district and knew him well. (They were the shit BTW)  We were in the nosebleed section.  They were BIG Hillary fans, and we pondered about what she would say.  They said, “Girls, Hillary is gonna knock it out of the ball park.”  And you know, she did.  We all cheered and shook our signs and hugged and high fived and cried together.  It was AWESOME! Again with the goosebumps.

That was a great night: Rumproasters were donating to retire Hillary’s debt, while PUMA heads were exploding.

Wonder what signals PUMAs are picking up from Sarah’s outfits now? Static, mostly.

And let us never forget the Frozen Cheezkake’s immortal words:

When you hear the dogs are after you, throw them your nearest child, then QUIT!

kathequa, you were in the House w/Hillary? AWESOME! So you REALLY had a good Denver! (

*Laugh*  You know what was the funniest part of that speech??

The fact that the PUMA litterbox “Hillary is 44” felt the need to edit….well, censor out any reference to Barack Obama or Party Unity.

I kid you not.  Hillary’s speech was 2276 words.  The version “Hillary is 44” posted on their website was 1878 words.  Every reference to Sen. Obama or party unity was edited out. And, except for an occasional “snip”, nothing to note it was an “edited” version.

The comments there were all full of claims of “subliminal messages”, and other attempts by PUMAs to try and explain away Sen. Clinton’s words, to claim that she didn’t really say what she did, that she was sending out coded messages to her loyal PUMA followers.

It wasn’t just them.  The people at “Riverdaughter” were even making claims that Sen. Clinton’s pantsuit colour was “sorta PUMAish”, among other attempts to convince themselves she didn’t just tell her followers to vote for Sen. Obama.

“PUMA PAC” was also doing the same thing as “RiverDaughter” and “HillaryIs44”

The PUMAs did anything they can think of to convince themselves that the parts of the speech where she endorsed Sen. Obama simply didn’t exist.
