The Stupid Is Strong With This One

It seems that media darling Andrew Hammond is having a tantrum.  His reason for existing is falling apart before his very eyes; his fifteen minutes was only five, because the meany Democrats don't give a flying frack about Operation Chaos.  His beloved weapon for terrorizing Democrats, Hillary Clinton, has been ... defused.  Those sneaky Democrats used an arcane form of language (some call it ... mathematics) and decided to leave poor Andrew helpless by taking away his toy.  When the vote comes to Montana, Professor Chaos will be as frustrated and futile as he has ... well ... so far already.

So now Andrew is defending the honor of Democratic voters in Florida and Michigan by claiming that they've been disenfranchised.  Actually, they haven't.  They got to vote, no problem.  Their delegates to the Democratic Convention, on the other hand, won't be seated.  I've tasked Andy with seeing the difference, but I've little hope that he will; he's just not that sharp.  But I have to admire the way he soldiers on against the adversity of his own stupidity.  Let's look for the points of bravery, that we think the best of Andrew Hammond:

1)  The fate of the Florida and Michigan delegates hasn't been decided yet.  Only a few things are known.  Michigan and Florida willfully and knowingly broke party rules, rules that Andy's Hillbomb signed off on.  It's more than just a touch hypocritical for her to argue that they be seated now.  We can forgive Andrew of any hypocrisy; he just isn't bright enough to understand that rules often matter (I fear for his kids, even the teenage daughter he called "babe").  The rules committee has already stated that Michigan's delegates will not be seated per vote because Barack Obama wasn't even on the ballot.  He withdrew his name, following those 'rule thingies' that Andy has such a difficult time with.  And here's the kicker:  even with the pledged delegates from MI and FL, Hillary still stands a dismally small chance of taking the nomination.  She won't catch Obama in pledged delegates or in the popular vote.  Let me restate that.  She can't catch Obama in pledged delegates or the popular vote.

2)  This primary will likely be settled by the time Montana votes.  Yes, Clinton will win West Virginia and Kentucky by playing on racial fears.  After all, her campaign's current battle cry is that white folks won't vote for Obama (the black guy.)   Let's just disregard the fact that the Clinton camp is rather overtly calling white people racists, and focus on the fact that white people have and are voting for Obama.  That's why he has such a huge lead and will win the nomination.  Between sooperdooper delegate pickups, and Oregon's vote,  Obama will have this thing locked up before Professor Chaos can unleash his fury in Montana.

3)  It's nice and admirable that Andrew cares for the poor Democratic voters in Florida and Michigan.  Okay, I can't even write that with a straight face.   Andy doesn't give a shit about anything but his own fame as Professor Chaos.   Andrew is the worst (read:  Stupid) form of concern troll.  If he actually gave a salient shit about voter's rights beyond party, he would have been all over the Montana Republicants for their caucus idea, which really did disenfranchise Montana Republican voters as regards their choice for Presidential candidate,  Florida and Michigan got to vote.  Montana, not so much ... okay, not at all.  That's what 'disenfranchise' really means, Andrew.  Hopefully, you've learned that now.  But I highly doubt that you have that capacity.

Nope, Hillary has lost this thing, fair and square.  The only reason Andrew cares is that the news rags won't be calling him any more.  Boo Hoo for Andrew Hammond.

But since I'm committed to helping the rationally handicapped, I'd rather light a candle than let Andy bang his head against a door ... continuously.  Here's a handy tool that folk can use to create wildly fanciful scenarios whereby Hillary Clinton might actually win the nomination.  This should keep Andrew drooling and happy for hours, if he can figure out how to work the thing (or click a link, which most of my Dextra-oriented readers appear incapable of doing.)

And while we're on the topic of the deeply stupid, I just have to applaud Astroturf Cody at the website BullShit Cairn for attempting to rebrand Democrats as the partay of Corruption.  Of course, It's kinda goofy that he's referring to a "culture" of corruption, and attempting to hang it all on one or two individuals.  We can forgive Astroturf Cody for not understanding the meanings of words; he's undertaken a heroic task.  After all, not only is he attempting to smear a working guy who is working hard for the state as "corrupt", but he's demanding that his own ignorance be assuaged.  Honest to God, he's just told Montana that our Governor owes him something he's only asked for on a blog, and thinks we're stupid enough to believe that the Governor is "hiding" something by ignoring the astroturf gnat who remains proudly HIDDEN.  Andrew's form of stupid is rather pitiable.  But Astroturf Cody?  That is some seriously high quality stupid there, and he just asked Montana to dumb down to his level.

You're performing a wonderful service here, reading Andy so the rest of us won't have to, much like the service my son, Steve, does in reading Mike Harris.

You earn your chops. Good work.
