Is Terry McAuliffe the new Baghdad Bob?
Terry McAuliffe has turned his projectile nonsense into something approaching the sublime. McAuliffe comes across like a desperate junkie on the downside of a three day bender who is trying to convince you that the little green men he sees dancing on the tip of his spoon are real. This is not spinning, this is performance art by way of the used car lot. Terry is a strange combination of a modern day carnival barker mixed with a snake-oil salesman combined with the fake charm (sleaze) of O.J. Simpson. Only a man who believes the public is buying what he is shoveling can shovel it with a smile. McAuliffe represents all that is wrong with modern day politics. He believes that you treat the voters the same way you treat a four-year old who cannot handle reality. McAuliffe will tell you whatever you want to hear and he is NEVER accountable for what he has said in the past. Terry believes that as long as you say something really loud and repeat it even louder than you create reality. He is the kind of guy that you hope you do not get stuck talking with at a party. He spouts out nonsense and lies and refuses to address reality. Who does this lying con-artist remind you of? Wait, go back to early 2003, I see a man in front of a microphone named Bob......

I agree with everything you said, it is akin to a defense attorney defending a client they know to be guilty. Or a celebrity publicist spinning reality. I would love it if he would just say. "Well we really have no chance at all because it is a mathmatical certainty that we will lose, but we are hanging on just in case Obama has an unforgiveable gaffe and we can swing the super delegates"
Playing devils advocate, what is he supposed to say? He knows he's lying and so do the media interviewing him. But he has a role to play in this carnival barking show.
I was listening to a talk show host yesterday who was comparing him to the guy at the end of the movie Platoon. He just keeps yelling and yelling like he has gone crazy. Terry is a loon. Lots of noise that makes no sense. Isn't it fitting that Hillary would choose him? When they finally realize they lost, he, Bill & Hill can have a yelling/boo-hoo fest.
