Oh, My: Liberal Bloggers Getting Tired of Putting Out (Propaganda) for Obama?

Glenn Reynolds links to Stacy McCain who turns out a great column on his blog The Other McCain.

“We’re the girl you’ll take under the bleachers but you won’t be seen with in the light of day.”
– Susan Madrak, Crooks and Liars

Never mind exactly why Madrak went off on David Axelrod during a conference call today. The point is that she’s right.

In order to win elections, Democrats have to pretend to share the values of the American middle class. They can’t afford to associate themselves too publicly with the grungy leftoids who are, in fact, the driving force behind the Democratic policy agenda.

I have no idea what inspired Ms. Madrak’s evocative metaphor

And this is great:

The whole point of calling this blog “The Other McCain,” after all, was to distinguish myself from that two-faced backstabbing weasel who got the 2008 GOP presidential nomination. (David Nolan for U.S. Senate!) And just today, Erick Erickson, Philip Klein and others panned the Republicans’ “Pledge to America.”

The conservative blogosphere staged an uprising when the GOP establishment tried to shove Charlie Crist down our throats, fought tooth and nail to defeat a sitting Republican senator in Alaska, and recently dumped the ”safe” Mike Castle in favor of Christine the Teenage Witch. We’re rather lose an election than to get screwed over by people who don’t respect us.
