Oh, Jane.
Haven't you hurt your netroots *enough* already?

Now, if I had single-handedly torpedoed the one Senatorial challenger that the progressive movement absolutely had to shepherd to victory last November... well, I'd be pleased as punch, of course. But you weren't trying to do that -
- I presume -
- so I'm fascinated with your apparent decision to not learn from your mistakes. Happy, mind you (indeed, I have a list of folks that the VRWC would like for you to target, should you get bored), but fascinated. Not to mention in awe of whatever social engineer put together this 'unstoppable transformative power of the blogosphere' meme; it gets its acute sufferers in the most hysterical jams.
I mean, NARAL? There are umpteen different targets for your ire over today's Supreme Court decision, and you picked NARAL (warning: fdl link)?
Don't reward failure. Tell your friends. Don't give money to NARAL when they come knocking on your door to tell you that choice is going down the crapper unless you give them a lot of money, because what you'll be giving money for is Nancy Keenan's ability to point her little pinky over tea at Washington cocktail parties and tut-tut over the state of choice in this country at the hands of the fundamentalists. She'll take no responsibility for the fact that NARAL will not fight, will not back those that fight, and worse yet, that NARAL sucks up all the pro-choice money so nobody else can mount a meaningful fight, either.
This should be the funniest event since Marcotte's - and, oh yes, please: read on.
Someone should perhaps explain to Ms. Hamsher that Cervantes never intended Don Quixote to be emulated. Preferably, after she starts a pointless war with one of the heavier hitters of the Democratic Party; I figure that I can bring it up, given that to her (big, big smile) I am one of those people*, and thus cannot be trusted to speak sooth. So you go right on ahead and take on that big, bad windmill, Jane. Play 'own-goals' for a while.
And we can't wait to see how you 'improve' that photo of Nancy Keenan.

PS: Speaking of salt on wounds...
*Although that presumes that she even knows me by name, which I mildly doubt.
But it would violate decency standards to do so. Something about using certain parts of the female anatomy. But seeing as I don't want to be banned, I can't.
"I could explain, but that would be very long, very convoluted, and make you look very stupid. Nobody wants that... except maybe me."
