Look for Maliki to show up on Obama's "Death List".
it's called 'triangulation'. or to dumb it down to a kid's game: it's like choosing rock in rock-paper-scissors and thinking you have an upper hand
Those three-step logical syllogisms are 2-steps too many for the press corps.
who thought of it first? huh? HUH?
now that's maverickin'.
I think Obama has Andrea flummoxed,
"My friends, it's all I got."
I can't help but think of those fords whenever I see the word 'maverick'
not sure it's the image they are going for
When you register GOP, they send you these great pills that you take that allow you to hold contradictory beliefs. The only side effect is that your nightmares are filled with socialists.

Ahh, but the strawberries that's... that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist, and I'd have produced that key if they hadn't of pulled the Caine out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officers...

McCain is a motherless calf.
"Branded" theme comes to mind.
doesn't play well with others
has a strong disinclination to share
insists on getting his own way, not likely to compromise
PERfect. Just what this country needs!
McCain will try to get in touch with the "Youth" today by donning an old Star Trek Original Series Red Shirt and mixing it up at Comic-Con.
And Candy Crowley fears Barack Obama may grow too popular.
I'll bet that happened to her in high school, too.

I'm sure you saw yesterday -- I think it was on Atrios' main page -- that someone in the campaign asserted that McCain doesn't necessarily speak for the McCain campaign with regard to his economic proposals?
Just fucking bizarre level of incompetence.
'mornin'
Mitchell's been flaky for quite some time. But, tell you the truth, I've always been a bit surprised that people can go into space at all, much less step on the moon, without being fundamentally changed by the experience.
The reason McCain thinks Obama's timeline could destroy America has little to do with the timeline itself, but, rather, would reflect a leadership style in which the first recourse wouldn't be to war, in which US troops, solely under the Commander-in-Chief's orders, wouldn't be the principal instrument of diplomacy.
God! Make it stop.
Barack Obama NEVER said:
I will pull the troops out in 16 months regardless of what my people on the ground say or the conditions on the ground dictate. (I actually wish he would have said that)
Wilford Brimley's VP Campaign quote becomes a policy plank of the GOP:
"You'll never get sick. You will never grow old. And you will never die."

Outside of film and advertisements, Brimley is also known as an activist, paying from his own funds for ads to have Utah allow horse-race gambling, and he was actively opposed to the banning of cockfighting. He has campaigned in Arizona and New Mexico against laws banning cockfighting.
Brimley has lent his support to John McCain in the 2008 U.S. presidential election."

Pick one from each column:

b) cocky, arrogant, presumptuous, uppity, opportunistic, exotic outsider
c) stultifying, airless, humorless, prissy, finicky, abstemious, self-flagellating, hothouse flower
d) arugula, pot, booze and “maybe a little blow,”
Or, you could just pick all of them, which would get you her last 4 columns and plenty of time to hit the beach.

Dude, the expectation is that you live a blameless life.
Alas, Brimley's pro-cockfighting PSAs are thin gruel.
I noticed the globeflowers in the McCain-Dalai Lama shot. Spring comes late to Aspen.
Picked up the print copy of Politico on my way to work (hey, it's free) and found a terrific piece by Matthew Dallek called "McCain's Blind Spot on Vietnam" http://www.politico.com/news/sto...0708/
11992.html
I recommend it very highly. Here's the payoff line: "Of course, the pundits have hailed McCain’s considerable foreign policy experience as among his chief assets. But his inability to learn the right lessons from Vietnam has shaped his flawed Iraq war policy and revealed national security to be among his greatest deficits as a candidate."
He goes on to explain why in great detail.
Don't miss it. I never imagined I'd find anything worthwhile in Politico, but this piece is outstanding.
Now I gotta go schlep wine (not schlurp, unfortunately). Later!

Too bad neither one can find theirs.
Y'know, while I loathe the Republicans for their policies, it's been startling watching them self-immolate the past year or two politically. The primary field--Huckabee, Giuliani, Romney, Thompson fakrissake--one caricature after another of the worst facets of their party. Yielding to McCain, who's now falling into a caricature of himself. Then the endless parade of sideshows, like George Allen and all the psychosexual peccadilloes.
You'd think, even allowing for their objectionable views, that they could do better. One is left with the unsettling question of whether they're not just wrong, but mistaken on a level so fundamental that their philosophy yields product so deranged that it can't cope with reality at all.
SteveLG: it's occurred to me to ask precisely which war McCain has ever contributed to winning, or how his military experience evinces any ability other than survival...

ProfWombat,
Maybe the "DWD Rule" applies to politicians as well?
The DSCC has an anti-Gordon Smith ad running here that's actually effective. I didn't know they had it in them.
McStain to Cindy: "You should go on TV and tell everybody what a great lover I am."
Cindy: "I can usually keep a straight face, but that's asking a little too much."
Anyone have the foresight to check swingers ads around where Mr & Mrs McStain live?

you mean exactly like the average voter? that is why i think the repugnicants have any chance at all: they mimic the average american-idiot, and there are LOTS of average american idiots
You'd think, even allowing for their objectionable views, that they could do better.
One would think...
Looking at the people that the republics have hoisted up during my lifetime would suggest otherwise.
McCarthy, Nixon, Agnew, Reegun, George 41, George 43, Cheney...
their philosophy yields product so deranged that it can't cope with reality at all.
The problem is that they've abandoned any pretense at an intellectually coherent philosophy. It's nihilism, naked power grabs, kiss up and kick down. There's nothing at the core.
Probably because their coalition of ultra-wealthy and social reactionaries have nothing but those things in common.
One is left with the unsettling question of whether they're not just wrong, but mistaken on a level so fundamental that their philosophy yields product so deranged that it can't cope with reality at all.

All their heroes have been phonies for so long they no longer know what's real. McCarthy, Nixon, Reagan, Bush...
DWD: remind me what the 'DWD Rule' is.
The Wombat Unified Bushist Theory is that everything they do, every last thing, can be understood only if you think the primary goal is the qaggrandizement of power in an unaccountable executive, for the short-term benefit of themselves and their clients.
It's customary, at this point, in a physics or math class to say that the proof is left to the student...
billy b: well, that's my point. If Republicans were simply wrong on some facts, or conclusions drawn from facts, but still within the category of those who recognize reality and deal with it, and who recognize the common humanity of others, one could imagine a Republican who was, if someone you could disagree with, a recognizable, honest human being. It's become more and more clear that such beasts are rare to the extent that one must wonder about deeper issues.
baba: yup: see the Wombat Unified Bushist Theory...
underwhelm: yup: 'phony' is another way to say divorced from reality...

John McCain's temper in action. Elizabeth's sin was that she wrote an article in a newspaper that has been tremendously helpful to Republicans over the years - The Wall Street Journal - that was slightly critical of John McCain. Look at the steel in his eyes and the vindictiveness in his actions. Do you believe this man should be trusted with the most terrible weapons ever produced? Do you believe our enemies will never snub him? McCain, more dangerous than you can ever imagine. Look again.
The thing is, this entire thing is predicated on one principle. All the sacrifice, all the incredible ability displayed was for one goal, that you in fact live a blameless life. Certainly aspire to prayer and devotion. That's it.
Morning, all. Hope you're having a good start to the day ...

I've been thinking about that, too, though I'm not a philosopher . . .
Seems to me their problems are more religious in nature. They're compelled to put their faith in certain ideas, and then can't cope with the contradictions.
I was listening to Neil Young talk about faith during an interview. I'm like him, I think. I have faith, but I don't worry about in what. Seems like having to have faith in "something" is when the trouble begins.
