If this campaign were any more inept, Michael Moore would be making a documentary claiming Kerry's a Republican plant secretly controlled by Karl Rove and the House of Saud.

I love it!

""...CNN host James Carville, former skinhead-in-chief to Bill Clinton . . .""

"Did anyone else initially read this as "foreskin-headed"? (I did, I really did.....)"

I read it as "foreskin-in-chief". Then I re-read it.

And now my favorite quote ping:

"If this campaign were any more inept, Michael Moore would be making a documentary claiming Kerry's a Republican plant secretly controlled by Karl Rove and the House of Saud."

Actually, they would be more subtle than Kerry has been.

Thanks for the ping, Pokey! Steyn has a much more biting tone in this article; you can sense his real outrage (like most of the voting public) for sKerry and Co's trashing of VN vets for political purposes, and how disparaging he is of sKerry's glass jaw.

Personally, I think sKerry has some kind of mental problem to be engaging in his fantasy life and not realizing that an inability to admit to the truth does not prepare him well to be CIC.

"Switch on the TV these days and you'll see John O'Neill, principal spokesman for the hundreds of Swift boat veterans who oppose their old comrade Kerry, talking calmly and patiently about the facts, citing chapter and verse and relevant footnotes, while some deranged interviewer is going berserk."

"I've noticed this, too. They're so hysterical to stop the truth, they're destroying any credibility they might have had. Hopefully, they'll never catch on to this."

I watched PBS tonight and was totally disgusted by David Gergan. The respect I had for him is gone. First he assumed Bush/the Republicans were behind the Swiftboat vets. But what really frosted me was that he never addressed the question of whether their charges were true. I watched the whole segment because I couldn't believe it.

My brother was at Annapolis with Galanti for four years in the same company and still exchanges emails with him... says he is a good friend of McCain. Those must be interested conversations these days.

Maybe I was unclear...I meant that the liberal press is given a pass to show their prejudice against only 2 specific groups...practicing Christians and straight white conservative men...there may very well be some overlap but I never implied that they were one and the same thing.

If they dispute the truth of the charges, they legitimize them. That's the last thing they want to happen.

Old lawyer's saying: If the facts are on your side, argue the facts. If the law is on your side, argue the law. If neither the facts or the law are on your side, abuse the plaintiff.

No, I didn't, but it's funny as heck! Now I won't be able to read about Carville without getting that image.

Could have been a joke, using an example to drive home his point. :)

"Old lawyer's saying: If the facts are on your side, argue the facts. If the law is on your side, argue the law. If neither the facts or the law are on your side, abuse the plaintiff."

This is why I gave up law and a political career. At 12 I wanted to be President and I figured I had to become a lawyer. By 15 I had figured out that a lawyer has to do some unethical things: prosecute the innocent, defend the guilty, uphold unjust laws. I gave up both.

Gergen? Respect? Laughable! He's a wishy-washy wimp.

I think Mark was kidding. He was far too young to have been part of such things in the seventies anyway.
