But I’m sticking to my bet that he won’t be President in January ’05. If I’m wrong, I’ll quit writing about American politics for the entire Clark term. Or both of them.

Thank G-d I don't worry about that infinitesimal chance that Steyn will quit writing!!!

listening to her ‘senior political analyst’ declare that ‘President Bush is sinking’, Judy Woodruff looked as if she wanted to do her Meg Ryan When Harry Met Sally impression: ‘Yes, yes! Oh, God!! Yes!!! Aaaooooowwwwaaaooah!!!!’

ROTFLOL!

Clark has been referred to as "our Eisenhower" on several posts I have read on demo underground.

I don't watch CNN, so I only have a vague idea of what Judy Woodruff might look like... I got the Meg Ryan visual, so I didn't mind it =)

and on air this week, listening to her ‘senior political analyst’ declare that ‘President Bush is sinking’, Judy Woodruff looked as if she wanted to do her Meg Ryan When Harry Met Sally impression: ‘Yes, yes! Oh, God!! Yes!!! Aaaooooowwwwaaaooah!!!!’

Oh geez .. I really didn't need that visual thought

If I were a Democrat, my main priority for the party would be to get the car keys back from Bill Clinton.

The most important line of the piece.

Someone suddenly remembered the candidate had been pre-miked and called the girl from the TV crew over to make sure nobody was recording any flushing sounds — as happened, if memory serves, in the first Naked Gun movie.

Hilarious scene. Too bad they didn't leave a live mike on Ketchup Boy.

CNN Propaganda Machine. There oughta be a law against publishing polls using techniques that are known to be unreliable.

Fourth, Clark has a lot of loopy soundbites floating around suggesting he’s some sort of paranoid narcissist.

"I've been ASTONISHINGLY CONSISTENT."

Exactly, this poll had 48% Democrats, when nationally the number is only 33%.

48% of the people polled identified themselves as democrats. They were asked to choose between Bush or Clark and Clark got a stellar 49% of the total. Run Clark run!

Democrats will decieve anyone, even themselves.

‘Yes, yes! Oh, God!! Yes!!! Aaaooooowwwwaaaooah!!!!’

LOL! Sorry, I couldn't resist! The Dems need to keep adding to the list of candidates just to keep the liberals sex drive up!

I think Steyn grossly underestimates the eagerness of the ultra-left wing media to do Willie's bidding and bacl Clark the Arkie. "Loopy sond bites?" They are sound bites only if some one will play them and you aren't going to see Dan, Peter, or Curly play them. CNN has hours of Wes-Is-Less tape from his Iraq consulting gig and they NEVER will show the stupid stuff, only the stuff that Wes-Is-A-Mess's handlers will let them.

BTW, great Steyn, as usual, but his use of the word "percolator" was one of the strangist and most imprecise formations I ever seen him use. Only us geezers know what it means. And, of the 100,000 folks reading this posting this morning who are also drinking coffeee, not more than 10 are drinking coffee made in a percolator. Of those ten, 9 are over age 90 and 8 of them have hated Joe DiMaggio for 50 years or more.
