NR’s Rich Lowry, attending the Winter Meeting of the Democratic National Committee, watches the party’s presidential nomination seekers leapfrogging leftward on the war, particularly Iraq. Given PW’s recent focus on the Edwards campaign, I took note of the following:
John Edwards says that the White House is counting on Democrats to be “weak and political and careful. This is not the time for politician calculation.â€Â
Clearly. We’re in the middle of a war. This is the time for Democrats to be strong, impolitic and reckless.
Or, in the immortal words of Eric Stratton:
No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.
Extending this analogy, it’s actually the screaming Bluto (Howard Dean) who gets Mandy (you know who) at the end of the movie.
Is it just me, Karl, or does the PeaceMaker game ad look like the bloody puzzle penis of Palestine is screwing Israel?
Maybe it’s just the wrong time of the millenium to be be makin’ peace?
We could fight them with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives.
Nuke ‘em from orbit.
That John “Shiny Pony” Edwards quote sounds inspiring and downright full of resolve, until you look at Lowry’s piece for the context:
And, thus, Churchill morphs into Chamberlain. That’ll learn me to have any hope for a return to the party of Truman.
Uh oh.
What, this bit?
ROFL!
Bonus points if the futile gestures is the “one last shot” flail of a proven loser.
Howard Dean?
Howard Fuckin’ Dean?
Howard dean would be hanging out with Nedermeyer for Christ’s sake!
That would explain hiring Marcotte.
The silky pony still has over a year to blow this thing. Don’t count him out yet.
Howard Dean as Bluto? Have you ever seen the movie?
Howard Dean is obviously Flounder.
Ted Kennedy is Bluto, with half of Bluto’s charm and brains.
Good!
Let them continue to pander to the far left moonbats in the hope that the money and votes will flow.
How’s that work out for Nedrenaline?
heh
No, this is the time for political mis-calculation. Looking into my crystal ball, I see the Democrat candidates leapfrogging further and further to the Left over the next two years until just minutes before the election, when Hillary Clinton, who has been clumsily straddling the crest all the way, leaps into the center and wins.
Whaddyawanna bet?
TOGA! TOGA! TOGA!!
