yes, that's exactly what she said

i'm sure she was just tired and babbling tho

Mamet: if there were the two candidates, McCain and Obama, either of them would probably make a hell of a president... But I’m not the guy to ask about politics.

well, obviously.

great from Colbert last night after MSNBC Hil montage-

HILLARY '08: What Barack Said

shocker that mamet doesn't like the girl

mamet on just about anything but dramatic theory and practice = sucks (including his actual directing)

You also directed a Ford commercial. Why?
I did it for the money. Why do you think I did it?

all my favorite people are endorsing my favorite candidate

Hilarity ensues.

it's better with the visual aid

wtf I don't get how that's an "inappropriate" joke at all

shakey are you serious

I dunno, maybe. depends on who said it and how it was said, I guess.

he's just the first guy to get called out for a joke everyone's already thought of but then decided not to tell because it's a dumb, unfunny joke.

everyone, huh

yes. even george clinton.

but feel free to interpret my offhand remark through the narrow lens of dull literalism if you wish.

lolz

Edwards made his bed - http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/064006.php

Rielle-ty bites.

judge tosses whiny vegas lawsuit, Bill gets testy about it, and Leahy pimps Obama. This might be enough Omentum to push him through NV and SC.

YesYesYes -- Huckabee Pulls Even With McCain in South Carolina

Best primary season ever.

This is a fun one.

Feingold on Edwards. Pretty much sums up the reasons I can't understand anyone wasting their time/money/vote on him:

Voted for the Patriot Act, campaigns against it. Voted for No Child Left Behind, campaigns against it. Voted for the China trade deal, campaigns against it. Voted for the Iraq war... he uses my voting record exactly as his platform, even though he had the opposite voting record.

xp: cuz he might've changed, and might be able to beat McCain.

are you calling him electable?

Edwards v. Romney might be fun. Who will flip-flop fastest? Who will pander most? Who has better hair?

Sadly, won't happen.

half of the electorate thinks he's a big phony (edwards I mean)

They don't know him like we do.

half hate Rodham's guts, so he's at least even there.

Bill's outburst about the lawsuit = classic Clinton sliminess

so someone posted a week or 2 ago that McCain wd be toast in November because he's so wrong on the "#1 issue," Iraq. Well, it's almost universally agreed now that the economy is #1 -- maybe because everyone realizes that NO ONE in this cluster of losers is getting us out by 2013 -- and, if David Brooks ain't lying, McC carried voters who disagree with him on the war in NH and Michigan, and lost Repubs who agree with him. Be afraid.

nah I always figured McCain would be toast because Republicans in general don't like him. Which is reflected in the polls and in the primary voting patterns.

The rules that constrain other men,
mean nothing to McCain.
The punches that bring pain to other men,
mean nothing to McCain.
McCain!
McCain!
McCain!

CW would have it that rise of economy as issue translates to increased support for Romney

rather than the guy who recently said he doesn't know much about economics

I always figured McCain would be toast because Republicans in general don't like him. Which is reflected in the polls and in the primary voting patterns.

From your lips to GOP primary voters' ears.

Chris Matthews is sorry he's such an asshole

...being careful not to say "I'm sorry" or "I apologize."

exactly

I really hate him and he may not be wrong at all this time

wtf comments

"Hillary Rodham...Smith.... would not be elected to anything. She is just not that good of a politician on her own. This is not taking into account her marxist-neoconservative ideology for a moment which certainly would not help either."

marxist neoconservative?

Irving Kristol?
