Top Comments: Open Thread edition

The floor is yours, dear readers, tonight after-the-jump ...

But first: Top Comments appears nightly, as a round-up of the best comments on Daily Kos. Surely ... you come across comments daily that are perceptive, apropos and .. well, perhaps even humorous. But they are more meaningful if they're well-known ... which is where you come in (especially in diaries/stories receiving little attention).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Send your nominations to TopComments at gmail dot com by 9:30 PM Eastern Time nightly, or by our KosMail message board. Please indicate (a) why you liked the comment, and (b) your Dkos user name (to properly credit you) as well as a link to the comment itself.

Now, on to Top Comments:

Highlighted by Major Kong:

In the diary by sharecare about the parting shots by Chris Christie— this comment by ShootingStarNC (about accepting any help we can in an emergency) times a thousand.  

And from Ed Tracey, your faithful correspondent this evening ........

In the front-page story about the House GOP overcoming a struggle to approve a new pin for members — belinda ridgewood believes the party dispute was missing the point, while Coconut Heads would have chosen an entirely different design.
