#1 Rumsfeld destroyed questions/complaints such as these at the National Press Club last Friday. Here is a transcript. He was on. The CSPAN camera caught quite a few unconscious nods of agreement as it panned the audience.

#2 Wonder what it says about the voters of the party who selected two sitting ducks as their standard-bearers?

That they've developed really strong beaks from carrying the flagpoles?

#4 Martin's name is misspelled. It's "i" not "y".

#6 To Mr. Dyckman. A quote from Bruce Willis in the film 'Tears Of The Sun':

"You'd better Cowboy the F*CK up!!!!"

Though it does appear that the Smoky Mountain MoonBat Fever is rampant in Gore's lost home state.

Jack.

#7 "I can't believe we're losing to this guy."

Isn't that essentially what he's saying?

#8 1) Thanks to those who had the skill to properly fisk this article.
2) Steven, yup, just like Jon Lovitz playing Dukakis on SNL. BTW, loved your work and saddened by your losing your blog interest, but love ya anyway.

#9 Ha! Did you see this guy's photo? He feeds right into my belief that, if you talk to any rabid Bush hater long enough, you will find that they are children with scars. Children who were too fat, too short, buck teeth or that the cheerleaders didn't like them. As a result, they now enjoy being bullies against "it just came too easy George".

This guy's picture proves he fits the mold.

#12 "Governors, or former governors, have played well for the GOP too: e.g., Ronald Reagan, George Bush. A governorâs record is rarely as complex as that of a member of Congress, and the job title itself conveys a sense of competence and authority."

Um, they also come with a resume that includes "executive/administrative experience" since that is the position they're applying for.

State Governors Clinton, Carter, and Roosevelt all parlayed their executive/administrative experience into unseating Federal Chief Executives who were viewed as failures.

Any freshman Poli Sci major knows this stuff! Always nominate a governor!

#13 I'll add my 'props' to Steven Den Beste. You're missed!

#14 one last thought about this article:

As Glen once said...

does this sound like someone who is winning?

NOT!!

#15 Thought for sure this was a rant of fear and loathing from a speaker in a San Francisco leftist rag peddled on the streets. But St. Pete Times? Applications accepted for an editor position.

#16 Read it carefully. What the man is saying is that he only believes in Democracy as long as it goes his way. Otherwise he'd be just as comfortable with a People's Democratic Republic. One Party, One Choice. So simple.

#17 Dyckman, all I can say is your sister eats kitty litter and your momma is a Hamster. Now go jerkoff in the corner.

#18 Miss ya', Steven! Nice to "hear" from you here, even if it's short.

I've still got you on my "favorites" list, and check every week or so.

Hope springs eternal. ;-P
