He’s not cocky. He’s creepy.

[newheart]

Never underestimate the creepiness factor.

Rumor that Barack Obama missed five three point shots in a row before making the one that has been shown all over the MSM. Looks like the missed shots were edited out.

Anyone notice the shot of him coming of the airplane, shown over and over again in the MSM (believe it was in Iraq)?

He was chomping gum, doing that kind of cocky-stride - like he was back in the South-side of Chicago. Not at all Presidential.

Ouch. Interesting that Dowd bares her claws so bluntly. I guess that the ChiTown pol gang ain’t quite down jiggy w/the NY Kristal (sp?) set yet. I like it...

Why do I see a picture of Maureen Dowdy and think of Ariana HuffNpuff?

" It’s like when the mob puts a face out there to run a casino, like Wynn, when in realty, the casino is run by Jimmy “the Killer” Capinni or some such."

The only thing the mob runs in Nevada is the trash hauling monopoly. They are happy to have it.

Not really. She attacks McCain at the end - she’s the same old looney lib b*tch she always was; she’s just trying to pretend she’s not an apostle of The One.

WHY IS THERE NO BARF ALERT? I missed the fact that this was by Maureen Dumbass Dowd, smarmy serial spewer of misinformation. This article was so insufferable in style, I could not get past the first few sentences.

Dowd: Then we might have deduced that Saddam had the “Beware of Dog” sign up without the dog.

Dowd's hindsight is 20/400

Saddam was the dog.

Saddam was a hungry, vicious dog which was growing large enough to jump the fence that was holding him in his own yard.

Pre-War "containment" of Saddam failed more each day.

Here's a BBC column from 2000: Analysis: Saddam steps up defiance

WMDs or No-WMDs, Saddam was preparing for a comeback on the world stage.

Bush interrupted Saddam's comeback.

Dowd should ask the Iraqis what they think Saddam Hussein would be doing, today, if he were still in power.

Re#10 Thanks. I’ll go back and read the whole thing. Memo to self: skim and post replies at your peril...

[Bratch]

Rules.

He’s full of himself.

[Piquaboy]

He is full of chit also.

[madison10]

Yeah, that. I have never heard of a presidential candidate being arrogant enough to start talking to foreign dignitaries four months before elected and weeks from even being nominated. I HATE arrogance in people.

[Piquaboy]

You and I both. He is over there acting as if he is the president. Someone needs to take him down a notch or two.

[Nachum]

like he was back in the South-side of Chicago.

The south side strut?

Sounds like a routine on "So you think you can dance".
