This has been a great 2 days for the Profession Left.

Yesterday, the House Dems had enough of Obama's desire to give away the store because of his bipartisan fetish.

Where most peoples' fetishes include things like "whip and chill" or strategically placed hot fudge sauce, these things are between two or more adults and WILL NOT do harm to the middle class and working poor as the tax "compromise" would do.

Today, Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), America's senator, is giving the most wonderful, sanity-restoring filibuster. This is American commonsense.

Kudos, Sen. Sanders.

1. How has that been particularly good for Olbermann, Maddow, Schultz, Hamsher et al?

You realize that "Professional Left" refers to the paid, left-leaning punditocracy, don't you? It's not the average DU poster.

Hence the term "Professional" - like athletes, those who are paid for what they do.

2. Oh there is the other group, the DFH side of the leftest party. Maybe the

OP is confused. Peace out man! :smoke:

3. Well, Olbermann is tweeting for Bernie with great glee.

It's pretty obvious he's happy about it.

4. No surprise, but I really meant to clarify the "Professional Left" terminology

It's a misinterpretation that's taken hold from the day Gibbs said it.

6. Interpretation is a matter of opinion, not scientific fact.

Just to get the terminology clear.

5. Bernie gets a paycheck and he is also a regular on Thom's show.

You do realize that, right?
