Well, that’s it. The jig is up. The secret’s out. It’s all true, my droogies. Every word of it .
Word to the wise, tho: you don’t want to get on Markos’ bad side. That rabid lamb venom f#cking hurts!

Wow. This movie is so cool.
…And that was said by somebody who hates anything with vampires in it. Go watch. Now.

Polinaut reports that Michael Brodkorb of Minnesota Democrats Exposed is now working for the Mark Kennedy campaign. Since he doesn’t see any conflict of interest, he will continue to write MDE.
Did Brodkorb really say he can do this ’since his ideas are his own’?
Michael Brodkorb said that? The Michael Brodkorb I saw at the state DFL convention last week? Let’s refresh our memories, shall we?
Oh. That Michael Brodkorb.

Greatest. Coffee. Commercial. Ever!
(Seen in the comments at YouTube): “Whoever thought up this campaign deserves a promotion, right now.”
Too right. Hilarious..

On the subject of viral advertising, a re-viewing of an old classic is definitely called for:

Hmmm… gee, it’s hard to say which aspect of this video people will find most offensive: is it the mild blasphemy, or is it the disco music? Whatever; it made me laugh, anyway:

In an email interview with John Hawkins at the Right Wing News web site, Coulter was asked, among other things, to offer short comments on several individuals. After harmlessly dismissing former Ambassador Joseph Wilson as the “World’s most intensely private exhibitionist,” she said of Rep. John Murtha, the hawkish ex-Marine and now antiwar congressman: “The reason soldiers invented ‘fragging.’”
Ann Coulter: the reason humans invented ‘condoms’.
…And ‘penicillin’.
…And ‘haz-mat gloves’.
…And ‘barf bags’.
UPDATE:
Watch and listen as Henry Rollins composes a letter to Ann.

UPDATE:
To sum it all up, I had a terrific time in Rochester last Saturday, even tho sitting in Bloggers Row all day left me mildly dehydrated and without any feeling in my legs … and with the sad realization that I can’t live-blog for shit.
Good thing the other kids don’t have that problem. All hail the mighty powers of the Powerliberals, DFLSenate, MN Publius, Minvolved, Centrisity. MN Campaign Report,U-DFL, s4xton, Minnesota Left, and, uhh, sorry if I forgot anybody. You all did great.
I must also mention the surprisingly affable Michael Brodkorb of MDE, who had the rotten luck to sit next to fat old cranky Me all day in the extremely cramped quarters up in the peanut gallery. Me, as in: me borrowing his laptop riser… me tripping over his power cords… me elbowing him in the face every five minutes…
Forget every icky thing you’ve heard about him — to put up with my obnoxiousness the guy’s gotta be a living saint!
I also very much enjoyed the theatrical entertainment he and his hangers-on put on for our benefit all afternoon. It really made those long between-ballots interludes fly by. The bit went like this: Some “complete stranger” sitting behind Brodkorb would say, in a very loud voice, with superb enunciation :
“Say! Wasn’t that you I heard on [Radio Wingnut] last week?” or
“Wow! Has anybody else asked you for your autograph so far today?” or
“Gee! Is that article in the Rochester paper about you?”
I kept waiting to hear:
“Golly Mister Brodkorb, what makes you so awesome?”
..but then the DFLers inconveniently decided to endorse Hatch and that was the end of the lovefest.
And a lovefest it truly was, too. As Jon-David of MN Publius observed:
“Saturday, 6:45pm If you’re wondering exactly how wired in to the GOP structure Michael Brodkorb is, GOP State Chair Ron Carey has been sitting directly behind him all day. Miraculously, MDE has Carey’s statement about 2 minutes after Hatch won the endorsement. Can you say complete and total tool? Web-based mouthpiece in full.”
Now, now. There’s no need to be mean. That’s what we have Republicans for.

That’s it, kids. Steve Kelley gives up the battle for endorsement.
Kelley’s a little choked up. Sincerity. Class.
Damn, now I’m choking up too.
It’s Hatch by acclamation.
Nearly 7 pm, and I’se tired.

‘T’s getting close. Hatch now up to 55.6%. 60% is the magic number. Shouts of “Endorse!” are starting to pop up every couple of minutes..

Hatch = 665 51.3%
Kelley = 606.5 46%
Hatch picked up a few points. Now the Hatch ppl are asking for a new Q & A — so Hatch can announce Judi Dutcher as his running mate? That’s the scuttlebutt we’re all hearing.
The Kelley ppl shouting NO outshouted the Hatch YESes, so no new Q&A at this time.
Ramping up to the 7th ballot.

OK, so I’d only been sitting down for close to 4 hours. I decided to stretch my legs and get something to eat and take a hike around the Civic Center just before Becky Lourey made her announcement that she’s withdrawing and going on to the primary.
A wise friend just commented “I think she’ll do much better in the primary”, and I believe he’s correct.
Nevertheless, I’ve been seeing a lot of dejected faces –on the supporters of ALL the candidates, not just Becky’s.
I think the Hatch and Kelley ppl are anticipating a l-o-o-n-g afternoon and evening ahead. As for the Becky folks — I wish they’d have a little more faith.
