Hey, monkey, next time you're in Tulsa, let me know. I'm a lover, not a fighter, but I'll make an exception for you, you dim-witted gobshite.

Cheers Lawton! We'll win some silverware soon!
Didn't know that O is a hammers fan, well at least it's not spurs ;)

I completely disagree. The opposite argument is equally valid, O stays silent therefore he is an appeaser. Hitting it head on is the only way to counter such falsehoods. John Kerry assumed that people wouldn't believe the smears because they were untrue, bad strategy!

Good point Voltaire. Ignoring the douche troll is probably the best strategy, but I do love reading nisleib's responses, brilliant.
Oh, btw, looks like the monkey got an atlas for his birthday!

Very good point frogleg. Of course, with all of the supers coming out for O right now, one more isn't a huge deal but it IS Edwards. That in itself makes it big.

BTW, fogu2 and RaeK, suck my cheney!

In the article that Carol referred to, Dana Milbank said "After an appropriate wait, she steps from the plane and pretends to wave to a crowd of supporters; in fact, she is waving to 10 photographers underneath the airplane's wing. She pretends to spot an old friend in the crowd, points and gives another wave; in fact, she is waving at an aide she had been talking with on the plane minutes earlier."

Was he talking about Tuzla?

"The voters have stolen my nomination"

What a line!!! One of many pearls in this video. Brilliant. And it's so funny because many elements are true (not all of course!).

"The voters have stolen my nomination"

What a line!

As Larry the Cable guy says "that's funny right there, I don't care who ya are."

you're dead right peter, Penn did think it was winner take all. amk referenced a Time article above, the following is taken from it:

As aides looked over the campaign calendar, chief strategist Mark Penn confidently predicted that an early win in California would put her over the top because she would pick up all the state's 370 delegates. It sounded smart, but as every high school civics student now knows, Penn was wrong: Democrats, unlike the Republicans, apportion their delegates according to vote totals, rather than allowing any state to award them winner-take-all. Sitting nearby, veteran Democratic insider Harold M. Ickes, who had helped write those rules, was horrified — and let Penn know it. "How can it possibly be," Ickes asked, "that the much vaunted chief strategist doesn't understand proportional allocation?" And yet the strategy remained the same, with the campaign making its bet on big-state victories. Even now, it can seem as if they don't get it.
