A disappointing piece from a columnist who is capable of much better work.

This opinion piece is a wildly irrelevant musing on how Obama can best be most vindictive to Clinton by giving or not giving her the Vice presidential slot on the ticket. The article frames Obama's highest goal as vindictiveness and does a complete disservice to both Democratic Candidates and to civilized discourse. I don't doubt the similarity of this purely political choice to the beauties of sausage making, but tend to doubt the vindictiveness frame that tells us far more about the mind of the author than it will illuminate the eventual actions of either candidate. It does give a little info on the inordinate power of the Cheney Vice Presidency and the more traditional lack of power and influence that most VPs have endured.

Ick. We need much less of this trying-to-be-clever reductionism. The process is diminished enough without indulging in a writer's 'mortal combat' style of entertainment via clever phrasing and vocab choices. I didn't even finish reading it.

This is not journalism, and not even informed opinion. Just a content-less tirade.

C'mon guys, it doesn't have to be Jon Stewart to be satirical! Or at least to try to be. (Actually I'd like to see Obama put her on the Supreme Court. Think about it.)

a very sharp wit indeed! not totally balanced but satire almost never is. sometimes its so good to laugh at what its most serious in our lives or thoughts.

An opinion piece.

Yawn.

Tiresome and tiring to see constant misquoting and gleeful verbal battering of Senator Clinton.
