But at least I’ll be brief. You might have heard about the resignation of Barack Obama’s main foreign-policy advisor over what she thought was an off-the-record comment that was, with the exception of one colorful noun, not incorrect and I’m sure milder than many other remarks made on both campaigns. (I’m prejudiced, of course, but from what I’ve seen online at the ground level the Clinton camp is far more prone to going with the nuclear rhetoric, but then I’m a hateful, true believing, misogynist Obamabot.)

Though I think she fouled up, I’m still angry because hiring Samantha Power, an extremely intelligent author and specialist on issues of genocide and human rights, was one of the things that made me really take Senator Obama seriously a few months back, and was probably the single reason I never quite signed on with John Edwards. I’m even more angry that this is the main political story right now because just in the last forty eight hours Clinton has basically endorsed John McCain over Obama. (I thought that all but endorsing a Republican was a cardinal sin in a Democratic primary — but I guess only the reverse is true.)

On a lighter note, yesterday, Clinton’s serpentine main spokesman, Howard Wolfson, equated Obama to Ken Starr. There is a difference, of course, between Ken Starr and a monster. Monsters are sometimes lovable.

Anyhow, time is short today, but fortunately, ace pundit David Corn has said it for me (h/t Josh Marshall). I’m not happy about this.

UPDATE: Has Hillary Clinton touched what should be a third-rail in her statement about qualifications and John McCain? Gary Hart thinks so; meanwhile Blue Texan at Firedoglake (who might be a Hillary supporter, for all I know) thinks she needs to knock it off, anyhow. And, somewhere in West L.A., Larry David, yes, curbs his enthusiasm regarding Hillary and any possible proximity to a red phone.
