I have never seen anything more patently absurd than Campbell Brown’s performance on MSNBC this week.
Question
I asked my friend if he had seen Arnold’s speech last night, and he said:
“No. I am not following these things because my vote is fixed.”
Why the hell am I paying attention to this stuff? There is no chance I will vote for Kerry. Why keep getting myself worked up by the left (their lame attempts today to dsicredit Arnold’s speech last night are a perfect example why they should be ignored).
The Correct Cleland Record
Credit goes to Paul Begala for being the very first Democrat to accurately state what happened in the 2002 Chambliss/Cleland campaign:
That, after all, was the fate of former Sen. Max Cleland who supported Bush’s tax cuts and the war in Iraq. All he got for his goodwill was a ruthless general election campaign engineered by the national GOP on behalf of Saxby Chambliss, who ended up taking Cleland’s seat after attack ads charged that the Vietnam triple amputee was soft on national security.
They didn’t say he was Osama or Saddam.
They didn’t question his patriotism.
They portrayed him as soft on defense because he chose to elevate union interests over Homeland Security interests.
Sully The Tease
Sully, no fan of the female figure, states:
HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT: Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s ass. I know I’m not the best authority in these matters, but I think the C-Span cameraman had the same insight.
Where is the damned hyperlink, Sully?
A Sure Sign
A sure sign the convention is going well- the petulance and bile from the left:
Now Bush is introducing Laura via satellite — he’s standing in front of a fucking softball game. A softball game. The President has traveled to a fucking late-night sandlot to show his reg’lar guy credentials and note that he too loves his wife. This family sucks. They have absolutely no respect for the historic nature of their position and nowhere near the dignity to refrain from pretending they’re jus’ ordinary folks.
Really though- republicans are the mean people. I guess Bush’s life-long love affair with baseball was merely just another opportunity to flash his ‘regular guy’ credentials. Same with all the t-ball games at the White House. But really- Democrats don’t dislike Bush. There is no Bush hate. They just don’t like his policies.
Perhaps Bush should take a cue from the Kerry crew and try some of these wildly successful ‘regular guy’ photo-ops:
Lounging on the Kennedy yacht, a typical ‘regular guy’ activity.
Reg’lar guy John Kerry on a pheasant hunt in Iowa.
Reg’lar guy John Kerry during the French National anthem before mixing it up on the ice.
Reg’lar guy Kerry shows hisprowess on snow. Wait- he is good with ice and snow, and is haunted by his Vietnam memories. Maybe he should be Postmaster General?
Reg’lar guys wear Carhart. And John Kerry is a reg’lar guy! In Iowa! I would have paid cash money to watch him looking for ears of corn in the sorghum fields.
Reg’lar guys eat their food this way.
Clearly it is understandable why Ezra is mad at the campaign stops the President is making. Clearly there is lots of evidence to provethis is how this ‘family sucks.”
I wonder if people who donated to the the Brothers Grimm for this type of coverage can get a refund?
Leadership
Instapundit links to this piece:
Sen. John Kerry is angry at the way his campaign has botched the attacks from the Swift boat veterans and has ordered a staff shakeup that will put former Clinton aides in top positions.
“The candidate is furious,” a longtime senior Kerry adviser told the Daily News. “He knows the campaign was wrong. He wanted to go after the Swift boat attacks, but his top aides said no.”
You just know that this was intentionally planted to make the candidate look better while hiscampaign is faltering, but it really doesn’t.
How are we supposed to trust this man to lead us in the War on terror and in the War In Iraq when he doesn’t even have enough courage to follow his own convictions in a political campaign?
Crazy Al
Alan Keyes, always the crowd pleaser:
Alan Keyes, the Republican candidate for a vacant U.S. Senate seat in Illinois, said Tuesday that Vice President Dick Cheney’s daughter Mary is a “selfish hedonist” because she is a lesbian.
His comments came during an interview with SIRIUS satellite radio.
Keyes said: “The essence of … family life remains procreation. If we embrace homosexuality as a proper basis for marriage, we are saying that it’s possible to have a marriage state that in principal excludes procreation and is based simply on the premise of selfish hedonism.”
Asked whether that meant Mary Cheney “is a selfish hedonist,” Keyes said: “That goes by definition. Of course she is.”
I used to like listening to him speak. I used to like watching his tv show. What a hateful little troll.
