LOL..you are right...but, she HAS to make a campaign speech at yet another funeral....she and Bubba are just like gnats to a light bulb.
Mourner in Chief would have been the ONLY appropriate title for Clinton(s).
Agreed. That's why I stated it that way.
The Romney/McCain matchup is impossible simply because I think Romney is positioning himself as the anti-McCain in this brawl. You know, loyal to his party and his President, not his own self interest? Not to mention loyal to his country and what is right.
Romney/Giuliani might have a certain appeal. If Giuliani was afforded the kind of access and influence of a Cheney, might he not consider it? Looking at Rudy as #2 if something, God forbid, happens to #1 would be a consideration. I think we all recognize that we are going to need a very strong, well grounded individual who will fight this war we're in with the firmness and resolve of GW (and that person is not McCain, who just makes himself look increasingly dispicable on so many fronts). That is the essential question for me.
Beyond that, it is important to have someone who has ideas and can really make things work. GW has this quality and it showed in Texas. In DC, they just want to destroy him. It doesn't really matter what his skills might be. But this will be true about any Republican. (It's not just Bush they hate, it is all of us.) Romney was masterful with the Olympics and he appears to have hit on a viable health insurance program (about which we need to know lots more).
One thing I like about Giuliani is that they hated him in NYC and he made it work anyway. That took some guts. I am concerned about whether his health may have suffered some damage from the aftermath of 9/11 though. I guess one could find out.
Followed his amazing success at the Utah Olympics and became an instant admirer.
I actually read that as a very smart challenge to those who demand an energy policy that will make us independent of middle east oil. You want independence from ME oil? Fine, make oil so expensive that it pays for good old capitalists to come up with an alternative. Let the market work for you instead of against you. It's classic American economic policy, only applied to do good for our country instead of to make some socialists feel good about their hatred for our country.
And I'll put Charles and /or Ben Stein up against Walter Williams any day of the week. Williams is OK in an academic setting, but he couldn't debate his way out of a paper bag against those two.
There should always be an attack bird on station with those drones with multiple choices of munitions, such as M20 Rockeyes, 500 lb. smart bombs, even smart bombs made from cement, depending on what the drones find.
That makes perfect sense. The fact is that, unless the explanation really is that we didn't hit them because they were in a cemetary, which I think is insane, I haven't really heard a believable reason from a source I consider authoritative. I am still thoroughly confused.
UGH....Bill is thanking SOMEONE that he has yet another chance to cry for an international audience...and put his ugly screeching wife in another campaign appearance...
Don't you think that Clinton looks YEARS older than Bush in that picture you posted at #701??
It would appeal to me, but the conventional wisdom is that they're both northeast "liberal" Republicans. Either one in the top spot would need to "balance the ticket" to appeal to the base. Both might be tempted by McCain, but I don't think they'd go there, for obvious reasons. Newt is more likely, as would be someone like Huckabee (either brother) or Rice. Either might also go for someone like Kaye Bailey Hutchison or a wild card with race/gender appeal but rock solid conservative credentials. I doubt they would do it, barring something having happened to GW, but Jeb is always a possible VP, with southern, conservative and hispanic appeal.
Romney/Bush?
Giulliani/Bush?
The moonbats would implode!
On Rudy's health, he has mentioned he is concerned and that he knows several of the people who spent time at ground zero with him (he's mentioned a couple deputy mayors and some senior fire and police administrators) are showing signs of medical problems. I have been praying for him, along with all of the folks who went down their. I've specifically been looking for anything on Steve Buscemi, for example. Do you know that story? He used to be a NYC fireman. He was visiting his mother in one of the other boroughs, either Brooklyn or Queens, when the planes hit. He still had his old gear at his mom's house and he put it on and spent the next week or so down at ground zero. He's a regular in my prayers for those from 9/11.
I wonder if any of them broke and guffawed out loud...
Think Lindsey Graham's sainted and all powerful JAG corps and it makes perfect sense in that context. To quote Jubal Harshaw
straining at gnats and swallowing camels is a required course in law school
I had not heard the story about Steve Buscemi, who I think is a gifted actor. Thanks.
I don't know, Old Friend...I read the letter that varmintxer posted...and I read it that Powell IS backing McCain and gang's side of this debate..NOT President Bush's..
SOOOOOOO..he is still persona non grata to me.
Same here, sleuth.
From the other pictures I've seen, I'd say the camera man probably did.
Probably won't be able to carry Massachusetts in a national election
But he's definitely got the best shot of any Republican and he has a shot at making states like Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine and New York competitive based on their familiarity and comfort with him. At the very least he'd force the Dhimmicrats to spend huge amounts of money in what would otherwise be solid blue states and that's a good thing.
Speaking of age, I read one of the liberal bloggers who personally met with Clinton last week. One of his comments is that BJ looks much older than what we are seeing in the press.
Dang...if he looks OLDER than he looks in the press...then he looks closer to Poppa Bush's age...
BTW..just saw on Fox that Clinton is having a 3 day hoo-ha in New York this week for his Global Initiative to fight poverty, AIDS, and global warming...
Do you think he could think up any more CAUSES to add to that list to make it any more OBVIOUS what he is up to??
He CAN'T become the Head of the UN...so he is trying for "King of the world".
How about throwing in with Looney Clooney on Darfur???
He ignored Rwanda...so maybe he likes Darfur better.
You couldn't be more wrong. Walter Williams could easily hold his own with either Stein or Krauthammer. Of course, Thomas Sowell would wipe the floor with all of them... /grin
