The "Democrat" game may indeed be juvenile, but the Republicans know what they are doing. The same game was played to turn "liberal" into a four-letter word.

that this is "supporting the troops?"

At least he didn't say that he couldn't recollect ever remembering whether or not there was a meeting to determine if he knew or was supposed to know.

What do private equity firms and hedge funds have to do with 9/11?

but those are not changes driven by random selection, but as better understanding and observations drive it asymptotically towards "truth". Maybe God resides there, but Huckabee equates God with the Bible, which is rather stupid.

Dana Perino is too dumb to be a real blonde.

The reporters may have been phony, but they did a heckuva job.

COmedian Pat Paulsen from the Smothers Brothers TV show ran similar presidential campaigns in the 60's and 70's and even into the 90's. He even got some votes.

Bush has requested about $200 billion for the war next year. That's only about $1.3 million per serviceman/woman.

As TG Chicago points out, even when these stooges are "right", they're wrong.

"We're making progress. The next six months will be crucial. Some things could have been done differently. The Iraqis love their freedoms. The world is better off without Saddam. Obama Bin Laden is in his last throes."

As if to one up Time magazine in reporting errors and rumors as fact, the Washington Post today recycles the "Obama is a Muslim" meme on its front page.

...just bought a full-sized anatomically correct latex doll from SexToys.com.

...just like Joseph Smith. It was unbelievable.

Bush has made it very clear that our objective in Iraq is to succeed. Hope that helps.

...he is the original 128K Mac with a limited black and white display and at most a single floppy disk drive, incapable of expansion or the ability to run modern software.

"I really know nothing about waterboarding. It had to do with water and a board, I'm pretty sure. Maybe a boat, too."

...is scheduled to be an exhibition event at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The U.S. team is expected to win the gold medal.

We are all completely ignorant of God. Some of us may choose to believe in something supernatural, but that belief is based on faith, not on facts. Most religion are fundamentally different from Science in that they start with the answer, and then try to figure out the questions must be.

Time to cue up the Hillary Clinton laugh machine.

George Bush has/had a vision for America, but it's not my vision for America.

...seems as hard to define in a presidential campaign as it is in Iraq.

...are all Bush knows about the economy and all he thinks he needs to know.

Leaping from 7 to 8% is a 14% increase in support (but only 12.5% using Huckabee-math).

That's it. It was close and not a rout. The pollsters and pundits were wrong; let them figure out amongst themselves why they were wrong. It is early in the primary season, it is not yet decided, and there are a lot of potential delegates yet to win. Move on.

Add me to the list. And I'm not really a Clinton supporter.

on what the meaning of "work" is.

With insights like this, he needs his own New York Times column. The only thing that will save the GOP this time is if the Democratic candidates completely destroy each other in the primaries.

After watching the incompetence/inability of the congressional Democrats to do anything meaningful, and the determination of the leading presidential candidates to destroy the Democratic party from within, there is little reason to be optimistic that any of the massive problems that continue to accumulate will ever be solved or even started down the right track to a solution.

Both Obama and Clinton have provided ample reasons to criticize them, while neither have actually exhibited much in the way of leadership. For example, either or both should be taking a more active role in the opposition to Harry Reid, who forces his own party to explicitly filibuster while granting the Republicans a free pass. They are in the Senate, after all.

Sometimes you have to make a speech with the examples you have, not the ones you wish you had.

Too bad you can't buy an election.

Rush Limbaugh and James Dobson have convinced me that McCain is evil and to vote Democratic instead.

The pundits seem to have given up on Roger Clinton. If he found Jesus he might be just as qualified as our current president.

Manned space flight is an idea that is past its prime. Unmanned space exploration delivers much more return on investment.

Is this something they plan to say tomorrow?

Dana Priest: Ah ha -- but was is "legal" information?

Again, that depends on what the definition of "is" is.

It's getting to the point where the only reason I tend to vote for Democrats is because they are not Republicans.

Bumiller should have called him at 3AM to get his response.

Pretty much is the definition of the modern Republican party.

You would have to be ignorant to not understand what she was saying. Fox News viewers, I guess.

wouldn't be sleeping so soundly if they knew how much debt the Republicans are running up for them to pay when they grow up.

The quality of our "leadership" in this country is just embarassing. That these people keep getting elected is even more so.

Hillary is not a monster. She says she is not a monster, and I have no reason to doubt that she isn't a monster.

But even if she is a monster, and she somehow manages to muscle her way to the nomination, I would have to choose her over McBush.
