Exports surge. Trade gap narrows. Second-quarter growth estimates revised upward. Ace has all the particulars. Which is good, because the mainstream press doesn’t seem to care all that much.
Meanwhile, Kerry and Edwards inch toward protectionism, and gaggles of the googly-eyed Democratic Prelletariat giggle like schoolchildren at the thought of John-John hugs and Diet Coke appreciation. They moon over Teresa’s shiny, irreverent independence.*
It’s official: the Democratic party is the People Magazine of domestic politics. All that’s left is the inevitable Nancy Pelosi-sponsored bill calling for the Statue of Liberty to be replaced with a 150′ barebreasted Susan Sarandon made out of chickenwire and firebaked pate.
I thought the chicken wire was to keep John Ashcroft away from the statue so he couldn’t throw a tarp over Susan’s bare breasts.
Ahhh, the People Magazine of domestic politics! But Jeff, why the qualifier? Why not just the People Magazine of politics? Works for me.
You know, long on pictures–the hugging, smiling kind; short on narrative substance–“actually, I voted for the $87 billion, before I voted against it.”
The WSJ had an editorial today about the john-johns “two americas” tagline. Hear the collective silence of a thousand democrat millionaires upon reading this-
Ahh, yes, that liberal media.
Just out of curiousity, now, idle speculation is all, suppose an important fundraiser who had given millions to one of the two main political parties was charged with prostitution and obstruction of justice – just supposing, now – if I told you that in the story reporting these charges the name of the political party in question appeared for the first time in the 13th paragraph, which party would you guess was involved?
A. the Republican Party?
B. the Democratic party?
And no fair looking here to find out.
Are we talking about Susan Sarandon from Bull Durham, or Dead Man Walking?
Susan Sarandon from Rocky Horror.
