Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid - Where the fuck are you?

We love you guys, but seriously - where are you?

What more proof do you need that Hillary Clinton isn't slowly wrapping up her campaign gracefully? What more proof do you need as to the damage that Hillary Clinton is causing our party by staying in the race? What more proof do you need as to the venom that is motivating her insistence on staying in the race? Do you honestly still think that she's not capable of dragging this out until the convention? Today proved that she is capable of anything.

It's far past the time for quiet little conversations urging Hillary to play nice. She lost the right to ask for "the benefit of the doubt" ten racist eruptions ago. Dean, Pelosi and Reid should tell Hillary that she has till Monday to gracefully exit the race, or Monday afternoon they are publicly endorsing Obama and calling on her to concede. And then, if she doesn't concede, Dean, Pelosi and Reid should publicly call on all the superdelegates to immediately pick a candidate, or else.

Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid carry a lot of weight in this town. And among Democrats, they carry all the weight. Screw with any of them, and you can lose your political livelihood. It's only a question of how much Dean, Pelosi and Reid care about the permanent alienation of the black community from the Democratic party, and the civil war that Hillary Clinton pretty much guaranteed today with her incredibly offensive comments about June being the month for assassinations.

You gave her her chance. Now it's time to tell her it's over, before the damage is permanent.
