Okay...before I tell you my dream, let me assure you that I realize that anybody who thinks that video of Kantor is a legit issue is not very smart. It is a bullshit issue, just like "bitter" was a bullshit issue, just like flag pins, Rev. Wright and Ayers are bullshit issues.
But here's the thing. The media has been consumed with bullshit issues for the bulk of this primary campaign. You simply cannot blame me for the things I come up with in my dream state when it comes to the Democratic nomination and bullshit issues. I've got too much bullshit running around in my head to have it go dormant at night.
Now that I've clarified that point - on to my dream.
It started off with me turning on the television. I was inexplicably wearing a kilt, but I'm not sure that the kilt is particularly meaningful. On the screen Chris Matthews was interviewing Evan Bayh's hair. The hair was very worried about the fallout from Mickey Kantor's statements about the good people of Indiana. All of a sudden Campbell Brown emerged on a clam shell singing the old Roy Orbison standard, "It's Over" to Wolf Blitzer in a Hillary Clinton costume. All Wolf could do was mutter weakly about a dream ticket.
I changed the channel. Tucker Carlson's old bow tie was laughing with Ann Coulter's soul (this is when I knew I was dreaming - everyone knows that Ann Coulter has no soul). The bow tie said, "the thing I don't understand is how she continued to associate with this man for more than a dozen years after. Surely she saw The War Room."
"Let's play the tape again, shall we Coulter-soul? It is possible that one or two Hoosiers don't know that they are supposed to be offended by this bullshit issue"
I changed the channel again. A David Gregory hand puppet was doing a pantomime version of the old "man in a box" rouine while the scroll beneath read, "Hillary Clinton to hold press conference to address bullshit issue." 'But will it be enough to save her' Gregory's sad, silent eyes asked? "I SERIOUSLY DOUBT IT" boomed the voice of Pat Buchanan from the netherworld.
Over on ABC, George was weeping uncontrollably all over Cokie's fashionable pants suit. Then he tore his clothes and looked into the camera and said, "Bring me the head of Mickey Kantor!"
After that my kilt was starting to bind and Bill Richardson's beard was hovering near me, totally freaking me out.
I woke up in a cold sweat.
Luckily when I turned on the tv in my waking state, nobody was even talking about the Mickey Kantor video. In a sane world people know a bullshit issue when they see one. Unless it is about Barack Obama. Then they call it, "news".
