Mark Steyn bump! I marvel how the Democrats come across as mad dogs snarling and foaming the mouth. They're just turning every one to the right of Arianna Huffington and Ralph Nader OFF. I hope they keep it up.

Mark Steyn Bump!

....he's gonna be a bit twitchy if Ahmed's trip to the 7-Eleven seems to be taking a little too long.

Too funny....I love this guy!!!

One anti-Bush Democrat at a protest the other day carried a sign reading ''FRANCE WAS RIGHT!'' That's not a winning slogan, even in Vermont.

What happened this week is a foretaste of what the party can expect in the next 15 months: Reality will keep intruding, and if the Dems keep moving the goalposts ever more frantically, pretty soon they'll be campaigning from Planet Zongo. This week, Tom Daschle insisted that Odai and Qusai were all very well, but where was the Big Guy? Why hadn't that slacker Bush caught him yet?

Good read demlosers, thanks for posting it.

Ping to you SAM.

On the other hand, will the Niger uranium story be proved true? Quite possibly, but who cares? Will Saddam be tracked down as his sons were? Very possibly.

And the Democrats won't care.

[WL-law]

The BBC, CBC and most of the European media have constructed an alternative universe and are content to frolic on its wilder shores. Time stands still in this world: Even though the confidently predicted civilian death tolls and humanitarian catastrophes never arrive, nobody minds. There's no reason why reality should ever intrude.

An eloquent piece of writing, he captures it precisely.

Bill Clinton got it right. Democrats need to move on. If they're still droning on about Niger on the day Rummy's passing out souvenir vials of Saddam's DNA, they'll be heading for oblivion. Clinton's approach is all the more lethal because it doesn't seem so: You can't beat Bush on the war, so you neutralize his advantage on the issue by taking it out of contention. You'll appear sympathetic, generous, bipartisan, and mature; the war will be bored off the front pages; and you can fight the election on more favorable terrain on which the public's never really cared for Bush. Whether or not the Clinton tack would work, the Dean-Chomsky-BBC-French strategy never will. When the last Baghdad supporter of Odai and Qusai sounds like Howard Dean's running mate, you know you're off the map.

I think Steyn is correct here, but I wish he wouldn't let them in on the secret! ;-)

[Batrachian]

Someone remind me. Wasn't Uday 39 years old and Qusay 37? Why did the media continually refer to them as "boys" or "children"? Retorical question. They always want to portray Republicans and especially GWB in the worst possible light. BTW, aren't conservatives always supposed to be murdering children? I guess this proves it. You just have to accept the fact that Uday and Qusay where children.

Oh, yes.  The song of living in the
trenches to save of French friends
who will be forever grateful.

''There's A Quagmire Round My Shoulder''©

There's a quagmire round my shoulder.
There's some head lice in my comb.
Here's a backpack full of swamp gas,
For the girl I left back home.

There's a doughboy smokin' Bugle
In the trench we call Paree.
There's a quagmire round my shoulder,
For French libre, mon ami!

" This week, Bush's two aces beat the Dems' Niger joker."
" Wherever he is, he's dependent on a dwindling band of aides and, after the way his sons were sold out, he's gonna be a bit twitchy if Ahmed's trip to the 7-Eleven seems to be taking a little too long."
" When the last Baghdad supporter of Odai and Qusai sounds like Howard Dean's running mate, you know you're off the map."

It doesn't get much better than this. If the Pulitzer Prize Board wanted to regain any credibility,they would honor Mark and rescind the prize from MoDo.

God I love this guy.
