That’s why Howlin’ Howie is going to become Dear Dr. Dean fairly soon. If he continues in the same vein through next year he’s going to wipe out not just the Dem centrists but the soft libs that Richard McEnroe mentions. What’s left of labor is coming apart at the seams on this very issue and Howie ought to study the AFL-CIO split to see what schism looks like. If he keeps it up he’ll be king of 15% of the vote.

Pat was way ahead in the polls right up ’til dad caught spaghettispinitis wrt the filibuster.

Payback is such a bitch.

Kucinich for Senate!

By this time next year all the jabber that he has engaged in to this point will never be mentioned in the MSM and it will be up to the New Media to continue to remind people of just how big a jerk he really is.

I suspect there are a lot of Congressional districts in blue states, particularly the ones that don’t have universities in them, where the Dem incumbents would really rather Dean stopped insulting their marginal voters who still go to church on Sunday and can’t afford melanin…

My goodness, it’s a little difficult to believe that Vice President Cheney in all these years has never seen a copy of the NYT, or the WaPo. Oh, wait…

(I love Dick Cheney’s sense of humor–dry as the Mojave. He’s easily my favorite member of the administration.)

McCain has swallowed the kool-aid. He refuses to face the fact that he can’t make the press love him and win the republican primary at the same time. He keeps trying to straddle the moderate -conservitve divide and pretend that he is both. Kerry tried the same thing. Hillary can do it. But she is smart enough to avoid the Sunday shows and the press that will draw her out and make her explain the occasional flip flop in rhetoric. McCain can’t stay away from the limelight and the sychophantic bootlicking of the press. Yet if, by some miracle, it comes down to a Hillary vs. McCain battle they will dump him like a venearial disease. They will say, Well McCain is a great guy but he is still a Republican and we hate the rest of his party so they can not be given power. McCain has confused good press with good government. He is star inside the beltway but he will never get the White House.

In E. J. Dionne’s dreams perhaps. A McCain candidacy would be interesting to watch in one respect: McCain’s face the day he finally understands that MSM are dumping their favorite maverick to worship at the alter of Hillary.

(Jamie–how did graduation go? Did you get a decent address or a typical leftist screed?)

Here’s an interesting view of what might happen on the Republican side in ’08…
