"He’s happy on his little hamster wheel, going round and round and getting nowhere, occasionally pausing to chew his nuts."

I don't know why ... well, yes, I do (it's because I've got a dirty mind) ... but this is the funniest line in the whole article. I can just visualize John F'ing Kerry on this giant hamster wheel, running for all he's worth, and then stopping to chew on his ****

This one immediately goes to the top of the Steyn list - very well said on all counts.

Great Steyn, thanks Pokey!

The media, said Evan Thomas, assistant managing editor of Newsweek, in a unusual moment of candour the other day, ‘wants Kerry to win’ and so ‘they’re going to portray Kerry and Edwards as being young and dynamic and optimistic ...that’s going to be worth maybe 15 points’. In Fleet Street, if memory serves, an assistant managing editor is the bloke who orders the office furniture,

Nice put down to Thomas, a bloviating blowhard whose arrogance is unfazed by his being consistently wrong. Thanks Pokey!

Thanks so much for the ping, Pokey! I love it, love it, love it! This article is just a classic, and should be sent around to everybody to read. Please note my shiny new tagline.

...Can a grotesque, gruesome, granite demon gargoyle get on the "Steyn" pinGGG list???

...Good on yer and the post, and a ping...

A caged hamster’s never struck me as being that interested in poking the perimeter. He’s happy on his little hamster wheel, going round and round and getting nowhere, occasionally pausing to chew his nuts.

Oh -- My -- Gawd. If I can ever stop laughing I may get through the rest of this, what looks to be yet another classic from this unbelievably talented gentleman.

The only thing Thomas got wrong was that 15-point bounce. There was no discernible Edwards bounce outside his hair. The reality of this race was summed up by the bumper sticker I saw on some smug Vermont granolamobile the other day: ‘Someone Else For President’. That’s what matters to Democrats — that Bush ceases to be President and Someone Else takes over the job. And, as long as they think of John Kerry as Someone Else, Dems are buoyant and confident. Unfortunately, every so often, they’ll linger by the TV a little too long, Senator Someone Else will start to talk, and his party will remember that he is, indeed, John Kerry, and it’s too late to get another Someone Else.
 

Sorry to re-post the entire quote, but I think this just about sums up the leftist mindset...No one but Steyn.

bump and thanks!

Thanks for the ping.

This is just brilliant: "But to say that you believe in voting against what you believe because you don’t believe in believing in your beliefs is as close as you can get to admitting that the flip-flop perception is true: you stand for nothing; there’s no there there. "
