David Brooks you are on the list.

What list? The list of people I whine incessantly about. And trust me you do NOT want to be the person I bitch and moan to about the people on this list. The Times columnist penned a hit piece questioning the logic of me staying in the race with what he calculates is a five percent chance of winning. Three more months of sniping, he posits, will do major damage to the Democratic party while McCain can keep raising his approval ratings unobstructed. Brooks goes on to speculate on my rationale, of which I will respond here ...

"Does Clinton privately believe that Obama is so incompetent that only she can deliver the policies they both support?"

Yes, I do. But who said this belief was private? I've released propaganda ads that express this sentiment pretty clearly. If there's a way I can broadcast this any louder, please let me know.

"Is she simply selfish, and willing to put her party through agony for the sake of her slender chance?"

What about what the party put ME through for 30 years. OK, valid point David. But honestly it's not just about me. It's about what I think the American people need.

He goes on to conclude that me staying in the race is an act of pure inertia. A Clinton knows no other way but trench warfare -- you have to drag our mangled bloody corpses out of a fight before we'd walk away. But he treats this balls-out tenacity as if it's somehow not admirable. Let's just say this David, it's pretty clear between the two of us who wears the pink tie. Pussy.
