Chutzpah

These Clinton folks at the DNC meeting today, arguing to count the Michigan and Florida broken-rule primaries as fully legitimate, remind me of the young man who murdered his parents, then threw himself at the mercy of the court for being an orphan. Forget the context, goes the argument, just look at this part here.

These states were warned and re-warned, Do this and your vote doesn't count. They did it anyway. Now they come forward acting morally superior, as if they did nothing wrong but everybody else is out to get them.

Donna Brazile, an uncommitted superdelegate on the committee, got it right. She said her momma taught her to play by the rules. And if you change the rules in the middle or at the end of the game, it's called cheating.

Amen.
