Mark Steyn calls the Democrats the "guy [who] just lies around the house all day." Couch Potato Democrats. The other party is becoming sedentary, corpulent, and the sick old man of American politics. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Democrats go the way of the Whigs. A nothing going party that has nothing to contribute to the country's discourse is in no condition to stay in shape and beat the Republicans. I doubt Steyn's analysis will wake up the half-sleepy fellows at the DNC who've convinced themselves the key to victory is bragging that almost winning an election is like winning one!

After the Ohio vote, Dem pollster Stan Greenberg declared that "one of the biggest doubts about Democrats is that they don't stand for anything." That might have passed muster two years ago. Alas, the party's real problem is that increasingly there's no doubt whatsoever about it.

Mark Steyn ping.

As usual Mark is spot on.

Thank you for not excerpting this!

Time after time, Steyn just keeps hitting them outta the park.

[KarlInOhio]

Wow. I noticed my gal had put on a few pounds but I had no idea it was Bush's fault.

The man formerly known as Mark Steyn has entered the Federal Witness Protection Program. He has been given a new identity and a new home without his family.

[TASMANIANRED]

With Steyn, the pen is indeed mighty.

Who is running against Robert Byrd?

[Gritty]

Perhaps Title IX needs to be expanded to provide a federal sneaker subsidy: a woman's right to shoes.

My gosh. Can Steyn turn a phrase, or what!!??

This guy is a genius!

The dems. aren't losers. Merely thrive challenged. Funny, they are the ones who kept moving the ball, changing the rules mid-game, and hiring the officials. Now they can't even keep up with game they invented. Do they want special political parking spaces for their hubris-capable status? Or do they want to learn to think, speak and act like rational human beings again? I don't feel sorry for them. Their plight is self-inflicted.

This is a scream! Lard butts? Deferred success? I always love Mark Steyn but he has really outdone himself with this piece!

I coulda been a CONTENDAH!

"In nearly the biggest political upset in recent history, Democrat Paul Hackett came within just a few thousand votes of defeating Republican Jean Schmidt in Ohio's Second Congressional District."

This just in. In nearly the biggest political upset of 2004, John Kerry came within a few percentage points of beating President Bush.

I'm happy with all these Dim 'victories'. Seems like everyone should declare themselves a winner and go home happy.

The other day an official with a British teachers' union proposed that the concept of "failing" exams should be abolished. Instead of being given a "failing" grade, she said, the pupil would instead be given a "deferred success."

Mark, Mark, adding British perspectives will only aggravate American leftists' anguish on you. They aren't educated enough to know or even care about what their friends abroad are saying when such issues have nothing to do with the US. Who says the US conservatives are the ignorant lot?

Sitting behind yet another Vermont granolamobile bearing the bumper sticker "Bush Scares Me," I found myself thinking that perhaps the easiest way to reduce childhood obesity in American families might just to be to shout out, "Look! There's big scary Bush! Run! Run for your lives! No, wait, there's John Bolton, too! Better cut through the park before he puts his hands on his hips in an aggressive manner!"

Hilarious!!

[MattinNJ]

Wow. I noticed my gal had put on a few pounds but I had no idea it was Bush's fault. That sonofabitch chicken hawk

ROTFLMAO I can' breathe.

i am hoping we see a Dem split the ultralibs getting fed up and bolt to the Greens and the "moderates" try to keep their party together
then we just watch and laugh
