From an AP story a couple of weeks ago, giving the White House response to Scott McClellan's recent congressional testimony:
... The White House dismissed Friday's hearing as unenlightening and McClellan, the president's former top spokesman, as uninformed. ....
Um, excuse me? Your top spokesman was uninformed? That would seem to be a problem, don't you think?

My Secret Life
This has nothing to do with politics, but I wanted to talk about "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty."
I watched it as we fell asleep the other night, and it was a wonderful experience. Not because it was such a great story or a great movie (it wasn't) but whenever Danny Kaye went into one of his fantasy worlds, I was just amazed.
The reason is because I realized that the kind of imagination I saw there was the kind I used to have as a child. I'd actually forgotten how to use this type of imagination, or how it worked.
I want to watch this movie again (probably with Jack and Liam). I feel as if I'm on the brink of unlocking the hours (years, really) of imagination I once enjoyed.

Clinched
So, now that Obama has clinched the nomination, I am left with an irrestistable thought: If Hillary Clinton really does want the VP slot, it would be a terrible mistake if Obama did not pick her. Leaving her off the ticket would be a devastating blow to the incredible momentum the Democratic Party has enjoyed this year. Without her on the ticket, millions of potential voters could be lost to McCain.
McCain may seem old and doddering, but I wouldn't want to underestimate him. He is a maverick. He can shake off the George Bush legacy and give us a close election.
Yes, Obama's campaign has been exciting, but you can't deny how driven and how enthusiastic Hillary's supporters have been. For weeks now, the pundits have said the race was over, and still even into the last night of the primary, she still won races. There had to be a lot of people out there who believe in her. The Democrats may lose a lot of those good people if Hillary is not on board.
