Ah, the primaries... What heady days those were!
Alas, for some, their loss inflicted a psychological wound from which they have yet to recover.
...Mr Goolsbee, who was then a major economic advisor to Obama, got caught secretly assuring the Canadians that Obama supported "free trade,"... Hillary voiced her concern that NAFTA be modified, and it was laid to rest. For then.
Here's the history that the odious, disgusting Kossacks are now trying to erase: When Goolsbee was caught giving back-channel re-assurances to the Canadians, Kos front-paged an enormously popular diary (more than one, actually) which spread the lie that Obama was not the Janus-faced party, that Hillary was the one who had given the Canadians assurances varying from those she gave to the American public.
A Canadian commission of inquiry set the matter straight. They proved that Obama was guilty as charged. Hillary Clinton was 100 percent innocent.

An odd choice of phrasing, given the most famous case of "100% innocent"...
But let this not distract us from the blogger's main concern:
The only way for them to re-unite the party is for the progs to give up on Obama, once and for all, and then APOLOGIZE. No ifs, ands or buts. I don't want to hear a single syllable of weasle-wording. Let's have no attempts to sneak in some Clinton Derangement Syndrome through the back door. No "But Hillary would have..." ...
What we want from you, Kossacks, is 100 percent loss of face. Humiliate yourselves. Grovel. Drink our piss. Eat our shit. Stand there and take it when we spit in your eye, and then say: "Thank you sir; may I please have another?" ...
APOLOGIZE. No excuses. No rationalizations. No "Well, there were problems on both sides..." None of that. JUST APOLOGIZE, YOU SMUG SANCTIMONIOUS ARROGANT FUCKS!
[brief pause while I wipe the spittle off my screen]
I can certainly sympathize with this blogger's impotent rage. It must have been terribly frustrating to see the hated Other win the nomination through devious tricks like hiring a campaign manager who understood how the primary system works.
But the moving finger, having writ, sometimes flips you off as well. And it's not as if Hillary was reduced to penury and had to sell her pantsuits on eBay. She's gainfully employed as our Secretary of State and doing a fine job, as these things are measured.
So why this bizarre demand that we ingest your excrement? Because you were correct that Obama said one thing but did another? Well, we knew about that right after his telecom immunity vote and we cast our ballots for him anyway. Surely any buyer's remorse that some of us now feel is punishment enough - without bringing your bodily fluids into it?
So there will be no apologies from me. However, I would never claim to speak for anyone else. So any of you overwhelmed by contrition and interested in a messy form of absolution may perform your groveling here.
Better bring a towel.
