Apparently, as a Massachusetts voter, Mr Carroll is a serial failure.

Cheers

Was it James Carroll writing Constantine’s Sword or John Cornwell writing Hitler’s Pope – I think it was the former – who claimed to have based his slanders on research at the Vatican libraries, but no one could find his sign-ins there?

In any case, that filth like Carroll can earn a living writing for a newspaper (The Boston Globe) speaks to the utter corruption that permeates American journalism.

The average liberal can’t bring themselves to admit that their ideas have failed, so they make up stuff.

CJ: “Just stop writing about stuff, dumbass.”

I love it when you speak truth-in-love.

“Non-entity”? Really? After the clown they put in office in ’08, NOW liberals want to talk about qualifications for office? As I said in the last thread, Brown was more qualified for the US Senate than Obama was.

Another example: “That big mouth Don Corleone called me today and claims I owe him money. Well, just let him try to collect it!” As to Mass. – my perusal of various news sites today showed me that the Democrat loss was due to three things: 1. Sexism, 2. George W. Bush, and, 3. Allowing people without Hah-vahd degrees to vote. Glad the liberals are so on top of this.

I thought the party line was that Mass. voters suddenly turned racist…it’s hard to keep up with the excuse of the moment…

“Martha Coakley was croaked by an electorate that could not get past her gender.”

No, it looks to me that Martha Coakley was croaked by an electorate that said “If you can’t be arsed to ask for my vote, I can’t be arsed to give it to you.”

That sniping about standing outside Fenway Park in the cold shaking hands was a monunmental piece of stupid.

(1) It made her sound as if she considered that she didn’t have to campaign; that the votes would automatically fall into her lap. The punters don’t like to be taken for granted.
(2) It made her sound like she considered herself too good for the little people. The punters, as I have said, don’t like to be taken for granted.
(3) If Irish-American voters are anything like Irish voters, then someone who sounds as if she thinks (a) she’s too good for the locals and so can’t be bothered with parish pump politics and (b) she is automatically assured of a place in national government because she’s Just That Special is going to get a rude awakening at the polls, which sounds like is what happened.

How, ’bout State Senator Diane Wilkerson? Go ahead, Jimbo, talk about her.

Hmmm. This whine is so new that the insect frass hasn’t been washed off the grapes before they were crushed. I’d suggest a Limburger so at least the cheese will have body.

dwstroudmd: HaHaHaHaHa! Yeah – “An impertinent little wine with shades of roadkill and just a hint of outhouse. Goes exceedingly well with crow. Salute!”

As far as I’m concerned, anyone who uses the term “tea-b*g*e*s (I refuse to even write it out) doesn’t deserve so much as being spit upon. They are either terminally ignorant, hopelessly bigoted, or a combination of the two.

And I find it appalling that the MSM will hound to the death anyone whos uses a term like the “N” word, it’s original form (Ne*ro), “fag*ot”, etc. but lets this obscene sexual slur slide on a massive basis. If there’s going to be a standard which folks to the right of the political spectrum are held to, the same should apply to the left. (And it was interesting that even Harry Reid got in trouble for his recent use of a racial term; yet, as far as I know, absolutely no one has been taken to task for slandering the “Tea Party”!!!)

Coakley wasn’t just elected to Attorney General; she was elected with 73% of the vote. But not until after she was elected to be District Attorney of Middlesex County in 1998.

James Carroll has never let stubborn facts stand in the way of his Leftist ideology.

A mite off topic, but this sentence puzzled me:

“Martha Coakley was croaked by an electorate that could not get past her gender.”

When did “croaked” become a transitive verb? When I was growing up, it was a slangy synonym for “died.”

Fuinseoig,

You nailed it in one.

Chris,
I read the Carroll piece before I read your comments, and I had the same question. If women are so unelectable – how’s that for great writing? – just how the heck did these dames get elected to office in the first place? Was it because of mail coattails? does not make sense. But then, most post-modern liberal mentation falls under that classification anyway.

Oh, so Martha Coakley’s loss was sexism, but what happened to Sarah Palin in the ’08 campaign, no, not a hint of sexism from the left there. The fact is, it’s the left which is addicted to “isms” of all types, since it looks at people as members of categories and not as people.

This is just a whiner making excuses for an ideological loss.

You know, electing women isn’t all that “liberal” a thing. Texas, our well-known bastion of all things liberal, has had two women governors, the large cities have all had women mayors (probably smaller cities and towns as well), the sheriff of Dallas County is an hispanic lesbian, and I could probably go on. We have a fair number of gays in politics, too, despite our reported homophobia.

Be nice, Chris. The lefties are grieving and in denial. And they include the NYT:
“To our minds, it is not remotely a verdict on Mr. Obama’s presidency.”

That’s right, not at all. *pats on head*

And now Madame Pelosi has had to concede that there aren’t enough votes to pass ObamaCare.

Oh, Boo Hoo.

Bet she hasn’t felt this bad since the house fell on her sister.

I watched Fox News Channel’s election coverage for a while Tuesday evening. During a commercial break, I flipped over to MSNBC to check their reaction. Rachel Maddow was making essentially the same point as James Carroll.
