  • I don't think you understand people very well, shooter242.

    Anyone savvy enough to recognize condescension is bound to ascribe its effects to his gullible neighbor (or brother-in-law) too dumb to know when the object of the condescension's being treated as a rube.

    And no one -- least of all that sophisticate -- has a lot of sympathy for a bumpkin.

  • Off topic -- a bit.

    I am bothered by the media's habit of reporting a campaign representative's claim of what their principal said as if the reporter had been present and heard the principal's statement: "John McCain said . . ." "Barack Obama said . . ."

    While I don't approve of reporters acting as filters, I heartily object to enabling spin doctors to do the filtering.

  • Perhaps there were moments where it scrolled slightly past her exact point in the speech. But I was sitting in the press section next to the stage, within easy eyeshot of the teleprompter. I frequently looked up at the machine, and there was no serious malfunction. A top convention planner confirms this morning that there were no major problems.

  • Ed --

    What could possibly induce you (naivety excepted) to believe an account of alleged teleprompter malfunctions designed by Repug operatives to excuse beforehand any errors an inexperienced Palin might commit and to set the bar as low as possible and reported by FoxNews?

    Trust me! None of it's true.

  • Yoo. Es. Ay.

    I didn't like it at the '84 Olympics, either.

  • C'mon.

    McCain's a victim -- a disabled vet. Ask Brando if that makes a guy a hero.

  • Who's going to be at McCain's side in his appearances in Florida? Palin or Lieberman?

  • I didn't select the lowest data point, kenga; I selected the closing price on the day the Iraq War started.

    I leave it to you 1) to read more closely than you have thus far to determine why I would choose to make that selection and 2) to locate whatever market prices you believe germane -- on your own.
