The last DNC chairman under Bill Clinton says everyone must support Obama now, or else. Joe Andrew ran the Democratic National Committee from 1999 to 2001, which means he's at least partly to blame for George W. Bush. Until today, he was a superdelegate for Hillary. [Bloomberg]

A very small outrage we ignored on Friday had to do with the Democratic National Committee's Director of Research, Mike Gehrke, making dumb "John McCain is old" jokes on this "Twitter" web thing. Who doesn't make jokes about McCain's advanced age, right? But today, we are amused, because somebody sent us this screencap of another damning "Twitter" that (allegedly) shows the same Gehrke guy now implying that Charlie Gibson will sing a whimsical song about fucking John McCain. Also, "doring." That is how he spells doing ... or during. Also: Dolphin furry avatar.

Jiminy crickets, the DNC is going to have more hearings on May fucking 31 to decide the status of Michigan and Florida's delegates. They are going to sit around in a stack of burning hobbit carcases and drink Sprite and think about whether they should seat the states' superdelegates and half of their plebeian delegates. The delegates have declared that standing room will not suffice. [Ben Smith]

about time
Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy, an Obama Guy, today called for Hillary Clinton to drop out of the race and support Barack Obama. He is the first major superdelegate to declare this publicly. And earlier this morning, Howard Dean urged the uncommitted superdelegates to make their preferences public. Unless Hillary gets all of the uncommitted superdelegates, and then steals other delegates, she will have officially lost. But does Howard Dean have a plan for the 150,000 Hessian mercenaries that Hillary has employed for her last-resort military coup? [LA Times]

fiction writing rendered useless
Thank you, Democratic National Committee, for finally wrapping up this dumb primary season. The last primary in Puerto Rico had been scheduled for June 7 but has been moved to June 1, so now Montana and South Dakota will get the last say on June 3. Jubilant Americans are flooding the streets to shout this primary season's new motto, "FOUR LESS DAYS!" The DNC's finally done something right, you say? That's only because they were correcting something pathetically wrong: "Puerto Rico's original plan called for selecting delegates at caucuses June 7. However, after the DNC approved the plan in December, it was discovered that the date was typo and should have read June 1, DNC officials said." [AP/Google]

election 2000 forever
Exhausted by the Hillary-Obama race? Kind of looking forward to John McCain getting 32% of the vote in November or maybe even dropping out in summertime, giving America a welcome respite from Election 2008? Well, too bad. The Main Stream Media wants you to know that beloved Polar Bear King Albert “Al” Gore may just end up as the Democratic nominee after all, thanks to a “second ballot” at the DNC convention that could give delegates, super delegates and super villain delegates the chance to put those women and minorities back in their rightful place.

Maybe Al Gore Can Still Be President!

the youth vote
John McCain was a mere 90 years old when Democratic superdelegate Jason Rae was born. The now 21-year-old rose to stardom at the age of 17, when he defeated the president of the Wisconsin state firefighter’s union and was elected to the DNC at the state party convention. Now Chelsea Clinton, her dad and every other Democrat you have ever heard of is calling him up and trying to lock down his superdelegate vote. What are they promising him? Bong rips? [ABC News]

Howard Dean never became president, but now he might be able to pick one! He said yesterday that the DNC would like to have a nominee by mid-March or April. But he will NOT have him some kind of brokered convention if that doesn’t work. Oh yes, he went there: an “arrangement” might be in order.

DEPARTMENT OF GRANDIOSE PLANS: We’ve got all kinds of exciting plans for your 2008 entertainment! Ken Layne is covering the Republican and Democratic conventions somewhere in Colorado or Minnesota or something, and the Nevada Caucus, and other stuff!

BUT WE AREN’T GOING TO IOWA, even though we’ll have full team live-blogging coverage all night, until Ron Paul’s victory speech (for both nominations). So if you’re in Iowa please send us lots of crap, and keep the comments busy, and a special lucky person who sends us lots of tips will get a FREE gift, probably a Wonkette t-shirt. (Do we still have those, Megan & Jim?)

Is Washington the pussiest city ever? Shuts down completely at the first sight of snow, no one gets any work done in the summer ‘cause it’s too hot, every day another pneumatic hammer is mistaken for a terrorist attack, and now the entire city is crippled by A LITTLE RAIN. The IRS, Justice, Commerce, the National goddam Archives, and huge swaths of the Metro — closed! Because it’s a bit wet! Anyway, continuing our coverage-by-proxy of the state of the Democratic Party, we’ve received what we’re pretty sure is the definitive reports on the DNC flood-watch:
