As the entire political world now knows, any pretense that Democrat leadership has any respect for the principles of democracy was lost this week when the three D front runners had a rare encounter with candor.
The ever dangerous live microphone caught Hillary and John Edwards conspiring to exclude any but the three front-runners, Clinton, Obama and Edwards, from future Democrat Presidential events. Hillary justified her elitist plan by saying the other candidates are “not serious”. Usually the staggering degree of hypocrisy such a conspiracy displays from people who talk about transparency and inclusion in the electoral process would be the most significant conclusion arising from the revelation. Yet, amazingly it is not.
No, the utter silence from Bill Richardson, Joe Biden and Chris Dodd in response is even more amazing yet. Apparently, either the utter push to conformity has stripped Richardson, Biden and Dodd of sufficient individualism to even object to the Clinton/Edwards conspiracy to exclude them personally from events or they are afraid of Evita. Either way the silence proves ample evidence that they all just want to be somebody else’s Vice President.
While Richardson, Biden and Dodd have chosen to politically appease the very bullies who are trying to push them out, Kucinich is fighting back. Showing the Oval Office is his precious, Gollum will not let human or hobbit take it from him without resistance.
Kucinich is brave indeed, because literary history provides some insight into Hillary as well. The enemies of Madame Defarge did not fare well.

Ted...Madame Defarge...brilliant reference. I still kind of like your Lucretia Borgia illustration, though. A black widow poisoning her male rivals and lovers alike...that one fits pretty well, too!
Here is a story about Dodd spoke about it... http://www.capitolhillblue.com/cont/node/2919
