Oh my - the bigot knives came out big time at the Rules Committee hearing chaos. Take at look at what Jane Hamsher captured -- this inconsolable Hillary supporter, Harriet Christian, screaming at reporters in this clip about how the party is...
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/v/KACQuZVAE3s&hl=en expand=1]"...throwing the election away...for what -- an inadequate black male who would not have been running had it not been a white woman that was running for president. I'm not going to shut my mouth anymore. I can be called white, but you can't be called black...God Damn the Democrats."
You have to watch the whole thing. This is out of control; this chaos must end, however...
The result of today's meeting: In the case of Michigan, delegates will get 1/2 vote (Clinton nets 34.5 and Obama 29.5. For Florida, delegates also have 1/2 of a vote; Clinton receive 52.5 and Obama 33.5 (Edwards 6.5).
While Ms. Christian has lost her cookies, she'll be happy to know that Clintonista Lanny Davis is threatening to take this to the credentials committee (and thus the convention -- will the PHB baristas need flak jackets?), based on an update I just received from Jane. This is likely an attempt to extort the VP slot for Hillary, but I can't imagine that after all of the BS during the primary -- and still with a growing lead in delegates -- Obama is even giving this serious consideration.
Meanwhile, another blogger gets screamed at by Lanny Davis.
