The Master

Yes, he earned the distinction of being one of only two presidents ever to have been impeached. Yes, he was disbarred. Yes, he lied to his country. He lied to his friends and his family and then sent them into the world to defend him all the time knowing it was a lie. Some friend he. Yes, he got a snarlin from a 21 year old intern--on several occasions and while he was married and in the Oval Office. He might well be a rapist.

But no one alive today can give a speech like the one he gave tonight. He's the master. Obama-schmobama, you've been out shined.

Eliot the Idiot

What an idiot. Lovely wife and three daughters. Big state governor whose residents inhabit the financial capital of the world. Sittin' on top of it all.

And he throws it all away. For what? It is simply beyond comprehension. Eliot Spitzer is yet another Martian. He's that pro athlete who grew up on another planet where from the sixth grade he lives by different rules and can do no wrong. He has the same incomprehensibly bloated ego, the same tragically self-absorbed world view.

Getting his just dessert? Sure he is. At the same time this is tragedy.

What an idiot.

Will

p.s. Interesting that we have to wait on the Dems to do their polls and the focus group samplings to see how the winds are blowing before we can hear them defend him or condemn him. Some real change that we can believe "in". They have to take a poll to figure out a no brainer.

Because They're They

Who'da thunk that anyone could beat Billary?

Hil. was the apparent shoo-in, world record fund raiser, heir to the Presidency . . . whipped by a lad from Chicago (or is it Hawaii? Cambridge?).

It all came back to what they are--Bill and Hillary--the ultimate Ivy League power couple. What was it she said in the snows of New Hampshire in 1988, elect him and you get me for free? Something like that.

Well it turns out, the reason she lost is that we'd had enough of him, enough of them. Like the adolescent he is, he just couldn't keep out of it. America knew that for Billary, this was as much about him as it was about her. The prob is we don't really like her. And we don't want to return to the snarlin's under the Oval Office desk. Remember, if we were to elect her, we'd get him for free. (And I bet he'd have had a key to the Oval Office for use while she'da been out making life fair for every last American.)

All it took was an alternative who could deliver a promise of hope.
