Dude! Hillary just collapsed!!!

She's okay though... got right back up & kept speaking. Awww, you go Senator.

Oooh! Oooh! State Chairs Overwhelmingly for Dean. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!

From the Detroit Free PressThe party's presidential front-runner in 2003 won 56 votes from the state chairs and Democratic activist Donnie Fowler -- who led Sen.

I read that Hilary had the flu, gave a speech anyway, and fainted during it. And that she went on to give another speech afterwards.

How much do you want to bet we'll hear that women are frail creatures who shouldn't be in politics?

Of course, throwing up on the Japanese Prime Minister at a state dinner, that's a manly act.

Yup, she got right back up and kept on trucking. Frail my ass!

Ha! Dude, I was like 9 when that happened and thought it was the coolest thing ever. Like, "Hee hee, the president barfed! That's so cool!"

But yeah, it was actually pretty embarrasing. ;)

It's even worse in Japanese culture than in ours.

*imagines barfing on someone in public and boggles trying to figure out how that could feel even WORSE*

Yeah, it's supposed to be like an ultimate insult, not just "eeew you just puked on me".

Terrible for relations with a country who makes all our electronic gadgets, you know?

And I'm going to weigh in on Dean too, because I'm feeling like shooting my mouth off for some reason.

A lot of people (well, it felt like a lot) critized me a year or so ago because I decided to caucus for Kerry instead of Dean. I'd been planning to go for Dean all along, but when I met him, I had this gut feeling, the kind that I get sometimes when I'm interviewing people for jobs. My gut said he was applying for the wrong job, perhaps one he wasn't suited for or just not ready for yet. And bad things have happened when I ignored those feelings, so I went with my own judgment.

This DNC gig? To stick with my job interview analogy, if I knew the manager down the hall was posting that job when I met Dean, I would have sent him there with a strong recommendation.

He is right for this job.

And I want every story about Jackson to be taken down and a story about Darfur posted in it's place. But that's not going to happen, so I'll shut up.

Shoot Away!!!

Really?!? I knew Dean was popular with the blogging crowd, and there were quite a few "Vote Dean" buttons on LJ User Info pages... but on the whole I didn't notice as much support as I would have wanted. ::sighs:: I didn't really see the major political postings on LJ until he'd been phased out of the race.

(Sidenote: this is one of the reasons I'm sticking to posting political on LJ, instead of moving over to Blogger like most everyone else does. Really, if it hadn't been for some LJ'rs posting about Dean back in July 2003 I never would have thought to check him or any of the other candidates out in the first place. I think we need to keep up the politics and world stuff within the fandom communities, you know?)
