[...] Quite literally, it seems; picking up on the most recent Howard Fineman laugher, DJ Drummond at Polipundit says “Beltway vs. Blogway” brings some other comparisons to mind… [...]

Dennis, I guess you’re right; I just know I used to hold the man in fairly high regard, and now I’m at a loss when I try to recall why…he seems to have declined substantially in the last year or two (BDS, perhaps?)…

Fineman, in my experience, is a conventional-wisdom weather vane. And that means by the time he’s writing about something, the weather’s already changing. I mean, those of us on the Net have been noticing the problem Hillary is facing from the left for quite some time, and he’s just spotting it now? I’ve never viewed him as a jackass so much as a regurgitator of whatever the last person he spoke to told him.

And you’ve got to love a column where the Kossacks are both the French Resistance fighting the Nazies and the slaveholding Confederates fighting the Union. Mixed metaphors, schmixed metaphors…

BSR, it’s a little different here…if you hover over the word trackback in the boilerplate at the end of each post (“You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site”), then rightclick and choose copy link location, you can then paste the trackback url wherever you like. Alternatively, just add /trackback/ at the end of the post URL, that works, too…

I was stunned Bush had the chuzpah to go to the UN and give a big speech today. Do you think he missed the Dionne article? Maybe if someone would tell him EJ says he’s finished then he would FINALLY shut up, stop torturing the Democrats, and just plain go away…

I don’t know, but they HAVE to be wrong – the Bush era is over, E. J. Dionne, Jr., told me so…

Hillary allies herself with these people at her peril. They’re going to vote for her no matter what, and a close association will only make her look like part of the crazy fringe. She’s spent ten years trying to shed that stigma; she should know better now. Jonathan Turley on the Lou Dobbs show last night said that the Dems who were trying to “get” Roberts came out looking “ridiculous” themselves–and that’s no way to make people vote for you for president.

Speaking of the prognostications of Howard Fineman (who is making a brilliant darkhorse run at jackass of the year), have you seen the new Gallup numbers at Ankle Biting Pundits (you have to pay for them at Gallup…)? Maybe things are not so bad for Bush–his numbers are steadily RISING–how can this be when his era is over?
