I think the whole thing is funny.

Dems and the left build a myth about how
stupid Bush is, then nominate Kerry.

Dems yowl about the "secretive," "dishonest,"
"manipulative," "abusive of the constitution"
Bush and then look like they might nominate Clinton.

Damn, but that's funny.

This silly season may provide more fodder for the comics
than the last several combined.

Holy carp, you had me hyperventilating there for a second!

National Review saying " . . . outright lying to the press, as the Bushies have done . . ."?

Phew. TNR, not NR. Ha! hold my Brain; be still my beating Heart.

The main difference between the Republicans and Democrats is that when the Republicans rape me, they throw on a tiny bit of lube first.

If only!! I think you meant "flouting".

Seconded.

Also, given your experience with the press, it hardly seems surprising that Clinton would want to keep them on a short leash. Journalists are often lazy and will print the silliest things without bothering to understand or check up on facts.

“It Takes a Village.” That book scares me, because she really believes it. She believes the collective should be allowed a say in your upbringing, and if she is elected president say goodbye to Mom and Dad. I am of course exaggerating, but not by much. Also, in the 7 years she has been a US Senator I have not found a single female (single meaning 1, not not married, huh?) who likes her. If they are counting on the female vote I think they will be very disappointed.

Hilary hasn't had a chance to be caught in a really big lie yet. You can only do that once you're elected and have power. I also think she's less likely to put her foot in it than Bush is; she's more naturally controlled than him, although that also makes her less appealing a person to those that care about surface impression.

I do have to say, though, that Hilary as President would be exactly what those who supported Bush in his power-grabbing, authoritarian, executive-privilege ways deserve - an object lesson in why not to set precedents and to remember that everything that your own guy gets will also be available to his other-party successor. Not great for the country, though.

I’m nto a fan of Hillary, I’m pretty much deciding between Ron Paul and Gulianni, but I think you have to allow Hillary that it’s reasonable to run as tough a campaign as possible and to beat up the media as much as she can. That’s what I would do if I ran a campaign.

If only!! I think you meant "flouting".

National Review? TNR = The New Republic.
