The American political press, a more masturbatory enterprise than actual masturbation:
kLObUcHaR rISiNggGg!!!!! CAN YOU TASTE MAGIC IN THE AIR?????
Ohhh, but let’s get to the deets! Politico, rubbing itself in public:
It was cheeky acknowledgment after a 2020 presidential run that saw her outpace several more prominent Democrats, clash with Pete Buttigieg and grapple with the fallout from reports about her hard-charging management style. And she’s about to face a different sort of spotlight: Provided she wins reelection next year in her blue state, she’ll have big decisions to make about where to go next.
The “reports about her hard-charging management style.” She ate a salad with a comb. But she can still soar to the very heights!
And:
After rising quietly but steadily since dropping out of the White House hunt nearly three years ago to endorse President Joe Biden, Klobuchar now chairs the Senate Rules Committee and, as chief of the Democratic Steering Committee, sits fourth in the leadership hierarchy. The 62-year-old could keep testing how big her internal clout can get within the Democratic caucus.
Or she could once again test the national stage as a relatively centrist problem-solver in a progressive-heavy field in four years, and vie to succeed Biden as the party’s national standard-bearer. The caucus is already abuzz about who will replace retiring No. 3 Democratic leader Debbie Stabenow of Michigan and Klobuchar’s possible ascension to that spot, according to a person briefed on internal conversations.
She’s so hot her buzz almost elevates her to the national status of Debbie Stabenow.
Imagine…the excitement…of….going from…a Biden presidency…to…a…Klobu
(soft breathing, light snoring)
There’s a side of me that says, “This is the best the Democrats can do?”…and then I remember the last 3 years.
