In an attempt to get back some of my meager mojo, I would like to refer to the following comment

that I posted on the thread titled: What an unsatisfying diary from Barack Obama
In it I referred to Reid and others thusly:

Reid...was on Franken's show yesterday. Said he voted FOR the bankruptcy bill. He's an appeaser. Fuck him.
Fuck Obama too - he wants to have a civil dialog with the enemy.
Leahy? I used to like him until he came out for Roberts. Cheney was right, he can go fuck himself.
And Feingold? I'm through with him, he should have filibustered Roberts, instead he voted for him. He can go to hell.

I got a 1.38 rating for that - OK folks - but I WAS BEING IRONIC. I was responding to all the outrage over Obama's post by making fun of the single-issue purists, I was not being one. These folks are have all been hailed as heroes on this site and now it's OK to turn on them because they may say or do one thing that smacks of something less than idealogical purity? Puh-lease!
For the record, I was moved by what Obama had to say and thought it hit the nail on the head. I support Reid, Leahy and Feingold too, even if I do not agree with every one of their votes.
So troll me if you must, but please do it for the right reasons.
And next time I will be sure to use the Irony Disclaimer when I am being snarky.
