Hillary Vows to Fight on for Edwards’ Endorsement

Unfazed By Endorsement of Obama

Just moments after former presidential candidate John Edwards endorsed Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill) for president, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) vowed to "continue the fight" for Edwards’ endorsement.

"My friends, I will fight for the endorsement of John Edwards, even if it takes all summer," she told supporters in Louisville, Kentucky. "I have not begun to fight for this endorsement!"

She said that she was also "unconcerned" that Sen. Edwards had recently gotten a new phone number and not shared it with her.

"Anyone who believes that I’m going to be deterred by an obstacle like that doesn’t know what I’m made of," she said. "Mark my words, I am going to get that endorsement."

    Not only for your snarky brilliance, but for your handle - my personal favorite of the brothers! (but Ivan ran a close second)

        drunken love-sick bastard.

      •  I always liked the parable...

        which Dostoevsky included, the one he called "The Grand Inquisitor," which Ivan told to Alyosha.

        And, to those of you who are completely clueless as to what we're talking about, go read Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky...that is, if you've got a few weeks to kill and no tendency towards melancholy or suicide ;) ...

  supporters live in an alternate reality.

  redo the W.H.

•  The most pathetic thing about this diary is...

  the fact that it isn't too far-fetched to be unbelievable. This is the place Hillary's inability to accept reality has taken us!

  by BlueStateWatchdog on Wed May 14, 2008 at 05:17:34 PM PDT

•  The sad thing is...

  I really had to think for a few seconds before I could acknowledge it as snark

  Man, oh, man. This campaign is long past its usefulness.

  The Democratic Party has finally decided who's going to break it to Hillary that it's time to get out of the race:

  •  funny you should mention that,

    because I thought that's what he was saying, at first.

•  This is evidence that Rachel Maddow was

  right when she said she will fight to the end.  Sadly she will have to be forced out by party leaders it appears.

  •  I see a public meltdown coming.

    It will be sad to see.

    •  she's fast becoming a national joke.

      Not good for a sitting US Senator.

      Just ask Craig and Vitter.

      by AlyoshaKaramazov on Wed May 14, 2008 at 05:46:11 PM PDT

      •  Craig and Vitter were horny.

        Vanity and the lust for power is different!

•  zOMG!

  You'd think that, by now, I'd be able to suss out a snark diary within the first paragraph.  NOT SO!!!  OMG, you had me going.  Good one!  

  Is it my imagination or is the snark getting too close to the real thing?  That remind me, years ago, I thought the Onion was great satire but after several years of the Bush Admin., it just kept getting harder and harder to discern between satire or parody and the "real" stuff.

  Likewise, reading a Clinton snark is almost like reading the real thing these days ...

  (DAMN, people, aren't you PROUD to be a Kossak?  I know I am!)
