It’s always a pleasure to see the Left’s breathless explanations of how amazingly good we are at the most esoteric forms of evil. Not least of which is because that as long as they do this, they’ll never confront the truth: which is pretty much that yeah, they really do suck that badly.
So concludes Allahpundit, based on what we’ve been hearing from a rather pouting Left recently: Mind you, if I had burned through half a billion dollars on a divisive primary, and only gotten back the results that the Democrats have gotten, I’d probably be pouting too. Besides everything esle, I doubt that anybody actually thought to save their receipts. Moe Lane
But better late than never. And like Ed, I like calling this “the not-quite-in-motion picture” Congress is going to be a bear this go-round. No way to get around it. But, heck, the NRCC at least looks like that it’s going to go down swinging. So… stick and carrot, you know what I mean?
Oh, right: we were so busy rolling our eyes at the generically Democratic accusations of racism that we completely overlooked the specifically Democratic exhibition of killing hubris. Well, that’ll teach us: Obama says Republicans trying to scare voters {snip} “Nobody thinks that Bush and McCain have a real answer to the challenges we face. So what they’re going to try to do is make you | Read More »
Because, really, the stupidity of the article below is crystallizing at the bottom of the glass. I note with interest today, John McCain’s new tactic of associating Barack Obama with oversexed and/or promiscuous young white women. (Via Jake Tapper, who submitted this without comment, except to casually deflate Marshall’s clumsy attempt to link this to the Ford ad*; then again, given that Jake had previously | Read More »

But July 30th? Not so much. (Via Hot Air Headlines Tick. Tick. Tick.
I dunno, Allahpundit. I mean, the Celebrity ad was pretty good. Not the best thing EVER, but pretty good: …but this response was… well, to be honest, it kind of droned. I guess that I was expecting something a little more punchy, a little less press release-like, and a whole lot less whiny. I know this is going to sound heretical and everything, but the | Read More »
{Updated: Both Jeff and myself (and I confirmed with a phone call) have been notified that Rep Blunt had been attending a lunch hosted by Paul Weyrich; that he had had no more than 15 or 30 minutes’ notice; that this is not the first time that this sort of thing has happened; and that he would have voted against adjournment if he had been | Read More »
I’m sure that said reaction will be quite significant. So, starting with Rasmussen, we have a six-point bounce… erm. Back down to two and margin-of-error, huh? :crumpling up paper and tossing it in wastebasket: Well, there’s always Gallup and its 9 8 6 4 point lead. Or, as Gallup put it on 7/23,”modest“… :crumple:
It’s just that now it’s becoming mainstream, thanks to the sudden realization that, hey, it’s grawlix like this that’s putting our gas prices up past $4 a gallon. Real shame that the Democrats in Congress haven’t worked this out for themselves yet, huh? As for not making fun of the ones who are “bossy, self-righteous, and hypocritical”… well, issue them armbands or a medal or | Read More »
The question is, does he have the guts to even respond? to the San Francisco Chronicle? Senator Obama, you’re invited Sen. John McCain came up with a terrific idea Monday when he was handed an invitation to meet with our editorial board as part of our endorsement process. “Why don’t you invite Senator (Barack) Obama to join me?” McCain suggested. {snip} Senator Obama: Consider this | Read More »
Now, we know that there are now, and always have been, a good deal of nasty stories that go through the Internet. In many ways, that’s what the Internet is for, more’s the pity: and usually, the best that you can do about them is to ignore them with dignity and restraint – just like John Edwards did, at least after he emerged from the | Read More »
He wants an auto-da-fe of the Blue Dog Democrats, and I for one would be happy to help. Hunt them through the halls of Congress, Glenn. Hunt them with torches and whips. Use dogs on them – or maybe cheetahs; it looks cooler, and they did that in medieval times. That’s the sort of vibe that you’re going with, right? The guttering torch, and the | Read More »
You do? Well, go remind people, then. Be sure to also ask if they miss that $2.20/gallon that we were enjoying at the end of 2006, back when the GOP was still running Congress. And when you’re done with that, ask ‘em what they think that the price of gas is likely to be after two more years of Democrats running Congress. Moe Lane PS: | Read More »
OK, that’s the part that’s supposed to point outwards. Generally, the idea is to stick the sharp bit in your opponents. Op-pon-ents. O… P… P… What? No, your opponents. Not Mitch McConnell’s: Reid plan splits Dems By Alexander Bolton Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has split the Democratic front opposed to drilling with a plan that would open new areas for exploration.

Nothing too profound: only, if Obama’s European trip was mostly supposed to be about the Germany speech, and if said speech was supposed to be evocative of both JFK’s and Ronald Reagan’s… why is it that none of the text of that speech has captured the public imagination? Stop your average American on the street, and they’ll know the most famous phrases from either Kennedy | Read More »
The right questions are, Why is it so depressingly easy for somebody from talk radio to put together five minutes’ worth of genuine netroots hate speech on any topic at all? – followed by And why the hell is it that nobody from the quote-unquote “Decent Left” ever seems inclined to spank these guys?

Is this the sort of thing that brightens your day? And, like Constant Reader NightTwister, do you think that “Entertainment this good should cost money”? Well, guess what: it does – because one major reason that Doctor No can do this sort of thing is because he can win cloture votes. And the reason why he can win cloture votes is because he has enough | Read More »
Specifically, the Obama Victory and the Democratic White House Victory Funds. These are both joint fund-raising accounts designed to allow for contributions up to what look to be around $30,000 or more, based on this article: and the numbers match up. The difference between the two funds, by the way, is that the latter is older, and was set up between the DNC, Obama, and | Read More »
