I find it condescending and more than a little hypocritical from a crowd that wasn't afraid to get rude and disruptive when Bush was in office....

On July 30, 2009 10:48 PM in KBH Plans to Leave the Senate in the Fall, they said:

Doesn't sound like she's made an actual announcement yet. Sounds like she said she'll make a decision in August, and if she does decide to run, then she'll be looking at October/November to leave the...
