Not in Iraq; that’s been downgraded to a “situation.”
But Kos has threatened war on James Carville, for supporting the ouster of his Dear Leader in favor of Harold Ford.
Kos has only himself to blame. He has cut and run before. And it emboldened his enemies.
That Kos is a little firecracker, ain’t he! Is there anybody he don’t want to go to war against? Oh yeah, Islamofascist goons, he don’t seem to mind those guys.
It is going to be fun to watch him saunter bow-legged into the sunset when Carville is done with him.
Carville wants Harold in at the DNC? This comes before or after the RNC chairmanship was offered to Michael Steele? Somebody’s trying to play race-card catch-up, seems to me.
Heh.
KOS, is he still around. I though after the pounding come back Joe put on his latest hero (Lamont,i’d forgot his name already) he would have slit his wrist, set himself on fire and jumped from a tall building. That man has no pride, just switches a**es to kiss.
This took longer than expected to happen, but I suppose one must wait for the Bulbus glandis to return to normal size before withdrawal and resumption of almost normal speech, eh?
Mr. Ford, like Mr. Steele, is a rising star in the party. Mr. Ford has many connections to the party leadership, he gives a good stump speech, televises well, can raise funds for the party, is energetic, is a good-looking young man, (All-American looking) unapolegetic, has a sunny disposition (important in American politics!), and needs a reward for a good-run campaign.
Who would they want for the media face of the party? The dour, sour-looking oldsters they have, or this young, affable, genial, handsome, comfortable young man? A young man you do not want out of the political scene for the next year or two?
An easy call. He can do the Jack Kennedy role very well. He isn’t bitter and dyspeptic looking, he has energy, he radiates optimisim. He could give a “shining city on the hill” speech and it would not look fake, he would look like he actually believes it.
No, if you can have him tell every dirty thing he has done so a response can be planned, then he is a stellar choice.
KOS? Dude. He’s so,like, yesterday.
Completely unacceptable to the nutroots.
Markos at the grocery store:
“I thought the kleenex were on aisle seven.â€Â
“I’m sorry, sir, you’re mistaken. They’re on aisle nine.â€Â
“You need to shut the f**k up. If it’s a war you want, I’ll give you one.â€Â…
I want to see Kos and Carville get in a fist fight. My money is on the Cajun.
Kos and his gang are certain they’re the power behind the win and they’re certain they have deeper pockets. This may very well be true. But their goal is to humble the traditional Dems. It’ll be interesting. He sounds like Robespierre. With any luck, he’’l lose his head.
Of course, heading up the DNC is no road to the White House…
Not a direct road, McGhee, but it can keep a person in circulation and help build up a national recognition beyond the political junkies. Then a run for a major state-wide office, then onto the national stage.
I do not think we have heard the last of young Mr. Ford.
I mean, McGehee.
Indeed. I own one of his trucks.
Seriously though, I don’t think he’ll take it. He has a lobbying job already lined up, so I hear.
I think the proper term is ‘Sit’iation’.
At least his last name isn’t FNORD. Then we’d have reason to suspect something was up.
TW: I’m blue ah ba di ba bu di…
“…[With] any luck, he’’l lose his head.”
– Him and his adalpated gaggle already have. His posts are becoming even more shrill and threatening, if that’s possible. He doesn’t understand that the more he pushes, and blusters, the more the party core will distance themselves. The classic problem of obsession driving impulse losing gravitas to the end, something that betrays his youthful inexperience in American politics, basing everything on a faith in his poly-sci prof’s assurances and training in the teaching’s of Marx.
Hmmmm.
Kos? War? I seem to recollect, vaguely, that Kos had declared war on some other set of Democrats didn’t he? And nothing came of that.
Frankly I’d suggest that having Kos as mortal enemy is probably the safest thing in the known universe. I’d be more worried about getting a paper cut from my paycheck than being the enemy of Kos.
Inevitable moonbats turn on Democrats in three…two…one…
Spend any time rereading and/or talking to a kos/hamsher/DU liberal and you are struck by the curious combination of naivete, pique and narcissism. Without the internet these young wonders would be planning demonstrations on college chanting “all we are saaaaaaayiiiiing, is give peace a chance,” but now can avoid all of the inconvenience of lettering signs and drycleaning the surplus army store jacket by firing up the old Dell and reveling in their digital strutting.
The overall quality of the trolling on this site should give one a reasonable picture of the nutroots. They really, really believe that they won this election and that without them, Democrats are just going to wither and die. This provides them with a delusion of policy directing authority (sort of like Charlie Rangel’s delusion that everybody wants to live in NY.)
I fully expected the backbiting and carping to occur, but I’m stunned by the speed of it. Within this tug of war is the Dem’s potential problem for 2008, especially if the Iraq war grinds on and much of the “progressive imperitives” remain unpassed. Of course, none of this will matter if Republicans either can’t re-discover their core principles or can’t present a candidate who can unite the party and be a dynamio presence.
Stay tuned campers, it’s going to be a interesting…
– Recover their root principles – A little at least. They’ve been given a shot across the bow by a fed up electorate, but just enough of one to limit any real effectiveness on the Dem side of the aisle, ( the nutroots are already in meltdown because Carver is citing the shortfall in the “mandate”, opining on how much better they could have done with a real winner like Ford in the driver seat instead of Dean) but really if/when the Dems can’t really overcome the gridlock they now own, the Reps can just play off that, and next time with it fresh in thier minds, they’ll have the initiative, and therefore the momentum.
– The right candidate – Nobody on the National scene, with the exception of the first term Clinton, when no one knew how much of a diddler/empty suit he really was, has a thimble full of the massive widespreaad likability, and proven leadership that Guiliani exudes from every pore. the Left is so scared shitless about his natural, country wide, bipartisan popularity they won’t even bring up his name. Mate him with a well liked black american running mate, like Condi or Steele, (the Reps/Rove just made sure Steele was appointed RNC chair for a reason), and I’d spectulate on a modern record landslide.
– I’ve felt all along, leading up to the elections, that the best possible outcome, given it was enevitable that the Reps would lose something, would be for the Dems to get just enough rope. It’s a no-brainer now, that that’s exactly what’s happened. The Dems aren’t faking the new found friendliness. they better than anybody, once the initial Yeehaws wore off, have looked at the situation, and reaalize it’s a DOH’ moment.
BBH…Guiliani/Steele? Man, oh man.
You just know the Dems would counter with Hildebeast/Obama.
What are the chances of an election going Pay-Per-View?
All that is well and good but 2 years is a long time. Guiliani has some baggage (divorced, pro-choice) that will have to be overcome. We’ll know more about Steele if he takes over the RNC andis effectivre at raising money and energizing the base.
Could be fun, though.
Why doesn’t harold ford just raise the money? And he can go on TV and argue against mehlman or whoever is replacing him.
Is KOS’s rant racist? He thought Lieberman in blackface was a riot, didn’t he?
A old friend of mine used to tell a joke about a mouse who fancied himself quite the swordsman, he would go about bragging he could satisfy any female. One day his buddies pointed him at an elephant, so he duitfully climbed up, grabbed her tail, and went to work. About that time a ccconut fell from a tree and hit the elephant on the head, and she let out a little moan, the mouse grinned and said, “Yeah, you like it, huh, bitch.”
Kind of reminds me of Kos, Hamster, et al.
Moe – I heard that one long time ago…. cept the punchline was:
“Ohhh….jeeezzz….Did I hurt you Bitch?”
