Flotsam and Jetsam
- 09.24.2008 - 7:41 AMCaroline Glick says it all on the topic of the anti-Iran rally and the snub of Sarah Palin.
Another day, another false Obama ad.
At 1:50 on the clock Greta stumps Bill Clinton: what is the difference between an association with Reverend Wright and with David Duke? Clinton thinks we don’t have to “go there” because Barack Obama left Trinity United. Just one question: why wasn’t Obama ever asked this?
A preview of what’s ahead from the McCain camp’s arsenal. But if there is nothing “new” will the public care?
Mickey Kaus is right: Let Biden be Biden!
Isn’t it a bit bizarre — not to mention embarrasing — that Congressional Democrats need marching orders from John McCain before they vote on the bailout? (Embarrassing both for Congressional Democrats and for Barack Obama, who after all is the leader of their party.) And what if McCain won’t tell them until the end of the vote? Not exactly profiles in courage.
After the ” no coal here” comments reported yesterday the Obama-Biden ticket likely has even more work to do in Scranton. (”Mine, baby, mine” doesn’t quite have the ring of “Drill, baby, drill” does it?)
Funniest line yet on on the “FDR went on TV in ‘29″ gaffe: “If Palin had said something like that, the MSM would have sent her back to Alaska and frozen her in an iceberg with the woolly mammoths.”
Here’s a map and some helpful stats explaining all about these potential Biden-deterred votes.
“Racism could Hurt Obama in Pennsylvania” is the headline. But Bidenism is a worse problem, no?
I was ruminating the other day about a 269-269 electoral vote tie. Now someone has done the legwork. Pretty fun for political junkies.
A guide for the perplexed (about the mortgage mess, that is) is here.
A very credible and tough Obama interview on Today by Matt Lauer. Perhaps it is fair to distinguish between NBC and MSNBC.
Yet another example of “reader beware” when it comes to polls.
Obama decides giving a forum to Ahmadinejad isn’t a good thing after all. So are talks with him now also a bad idea?
An apt description of the UN here: it is “best represented by the hundreds and hundreds of black limousines ferrying around the east side of Manhattan on the occasion of the annual autumn jamboree of the General Assembly. I cannot imagine a more vivid picture of indulgence, sloth, self-satisfaction, pomposity and waste than this fest of the representatives of the abysmally poor.”
James Taranto tries to puzzle out the Washington Post’s criticism of the McCain ad that relied on the Post’s reporting: “But if the Washington Post is not a reliable source of information, how can we believe the Washington Post when it says it’s not a reliable source of information? But if we don’t believe the Washington Post when it says it’s not a reliable source of information, then we must believe the Washington Post is a reliable source of information, in which case how can we believe the Washington Post is not a reliable source of information. But if . . .”
