'mitt, im talkin to chris right now'

SONNED

romney turning into the GOP's bitch is the funniest shit ever

the law huckabee passed in ark. that allowed children of immigrants to receive fed aid for college is the best thing he's ever done

ethan did you see all the romney zings last night?

i was out but i saw them today looool

'which one?' ahahhaa

i dunno, i'm not even trying to guess what people who might think romney might be preferable to mccain or huckabee could think because those dudes seem to have souls? Their live-graph thingie had romney's approval at like 90% of their focus group when he was talking about this stuff...

why are they all stuttering so much more than yesterday?

the repub. debate was the most entertaining non-sports non-30 rock tv show ive seen in 6 months i think

last night*

why is thompson even there? he rarely speaks.

i wish ron paul was around

no, wait....

when they speak "sensitively" of other countries these guys just drip with condescension. actually huckabee is the least objectionable in this respect.

Huckabee is the least objectionable in many respects.

And if you throw out Paul/Hunter/etc., the most objectionable in others.

Thompson, refreshed after a 10-minute power nap.

^^i could hear alfred tell these jokes forever

damn, rudy

'giuliani, how will you mobilize republicans in the 2008 election?' '9/11'

last night i turned on the debate and giuliani was talking abt 9/11 and it made me so happy

heh, ron paul is talking sense re. foreign policy/islamism.

romney condescends to him.

paul and mccain are the only adults here.

oh, whoops. had an internet moment--i was watching last night's debate on youtube, and forgot that it wasn't live.

The jokes on the Simpsons ep tonight are amusing.

i watched that, and you are wrong

Enh, some of them were, then they got worse. Such is life.

what was one you laughed at?

The Fred Thompson one and the Dennis Kucinich one.

Oh, and Homer making the guy dance like a crazed gold prospector.

the dennis kucinich joke? really??

This is the Simpsons in 2008; I'll take what I can get.

xp

the first one, not the second.

it was the first one ive watched in about a year because the concept seemed like it could be funny but instead it was a bunch of lazy custos non-insights about nothing

why have fake candidates if youre going to make a bunch of jokes about hillary?

John McCain trying to look likeable = funniest thing ever

Supposed to be an image...oops whatever. Carry on

These folks have been knocked senseless by the events of the last three days. And they seem almost incapable of even thinking straight. Through the day I got pitched, formally and informally, by various Clintonites on Obama stories, most of which were almost embarrassing to hear.

I laughed at the Arianna clone and her Latino queen "ex-husband" w/ the assless chaps.

Robert Shrum's take on the missteps of the Hillary campaign:

http://www.nydailynews.com/opinions/2008/01/07/2008-01-07_sen_clintons_massive_mistake__and_the_fi.html?page=0

The Clinton industry, encrusted with the beneficiaries and acolytes of the first and probably only Clinton presidency, has turned Hillary into a product whose sell-by date has passed. In a year of change, she has been positioned as the establishment candidate. The relentless appeal to "experience" reinforces that - and too often elides into a dubious attempt to take credit for some of Bill's accomplishments.

More fundamentally, Hillary seems to be making an argument about herself, not the future or the voters. No wonder she is losing to a young senator who comes across as the leader of a revolution in our politics.

There could still be a Clinton miracle, but by tomorrow night she is more likely to be the KOd Kid than the Comeback Kid.
