Watch out! Far be it from me to take exception to what appears to be less than a politically correct usage of the word "honey" by notable liberal punditress, Jane Hamsher ... she of the Ned Lose the Blackface something or other campaign:
The DNC, the DCCC, the DSCC and all the 08 presidential candidates think they deserve money today because George Bush commuted Scooter Libby’s sentence. Yet none of them are saying what needs to be said — that his act is obstruction of justice, pure and simple.
Her, pardon the expression and now subsequent pun, bitch seems to be with the media, as well as mostly all Dem politicians currently in Congress.
We anticipate that John Conyers (and hopefully others) will be having hearings to investigate this criminal conspiracy and when they do, Marcy Wheeler and I will be in DC covering them. Unlike critically stupid and willfully ignorant hacks like Tim Noah and David Brooks, we’re actually cognizant of what has happened and capable of discerning the truth. We need your support to do that.
Okay, I think I get it. The Dems are so outraged over the Libby commutation they want money to do something, maybe even something about it; that's unclear. Unfortunately, they are not outrageous outraged enough, as is MoveOn (see below) ... and somewhere in all of this the handy dandy Hamsher solution is to simply give your money to ... Jane Hamsher. H'okay. Jane, have you considered taking up an instrument? I hear Algore is still auditioning acts for Live Earth, ticket sales not being what they could be and all. He might even let you ride upfront in the limo, if you promise to behave.
Today MoveOn is calling for Dick Cheney to be subpoenaed to appear before congress to answer questions in the matter, and if he refuses to answer these questions, they are demanding he be impeached. The MSM thinks this is silly and whimsical. We don’t. If that’s what it takes to rout out the corruption in the system and get some accountability back into government, then that’s what has to happen. And if you think our work is important in that process, that our ability to bring you the analysis of lawyers like Christy Hardin Smith and Jeralyn Merritt and of experienced Plame bloggers like Swopa and Marcy Wheeler who serve as the institutional memory of the story, then please hit the PayPal button and ....
Institutional memory? Oh, there's definitely a joke somewhere in that.
By all means, let Congress waste time investigating a power invested in the Executive by the Constitution. Keeps them from dipping into my wallet and drives their numbers into the toilet. Or is Jane still one of those 16 percenters who still approve of this Democratic Congress?

"Institutional memory? Oh, there's definitely a joke somewhere in that."
I had that joke as I read the line and then you picked it up at the end and I lost my line from laughing.
What the hay.....where do I send my geets 'n grits to these most august wimmens? not.
