Nice post, baby. You still got it.

There was a debate????
 

The problem isn't that Cheney thinks that Edwards is an empty suit. Heck, I'm sure that Lloyd Bentsen felt the same way about Dan Quayle. But Ms. O'Beirne is selling nothing but spin by calling Edwards irrelevant -- the Bush-Cheney '04 people have known all about Mister Trial Lawyer for a loooooong time. They started putting out the "Breck Girl" comments about him over a year ago, if memory serves. He may be a Bob Forehead in their minds, but he's been on their minds. That ain't gonna cut it.

Simply put, Cheney fucked up. He relied upon his apparently faulty memory to try to slam Edwards by demonstrating how cavalierly he took his Senate duties. Or, his staff fucked up by relying upon his apparently faulty memory. You had to think that that was a planned line. Why didn't Scooter or Matalin do some legwork to make sure that the boss had never met the Breck boy before they allowed the boss to say it on the air like that?

It may undercut Cheney by allowing Edwards to show that the facts don't matter to Cheney -- you can hear Edwards saying "he misled the American people about 9/11, about WMD, even about whether he met me." And it backfires becuase now instead of talking about Edwards' lack of attendance, we're talking about Dick's gaffe.

That being said, why did Posada try to score on Hunter? Why, bilmore, why?

Its more emotional than that. I think you knocked on the door of my soul and found someone home.

PS: What was the definition of fuckwad again? Ty is a fuckwad.

Michigan's absentee ballot apparently is misaligned, such that the box next to Kerry's name will instead record a vote for Bush:

Oops. Kevin Drum has the story. Do these problems have something to do with being surrounded on three sides by water? Why, Hank, why?

I posted the above at another forum when the site was down. My favorite response:

• I'm pretty sure the reason Cheney didn't speak much on that subject is that he is actually repelled by the mere mention of the word God. Actually entering a church or touching a cross causes him to smoke, or even burst into flames. As such, having him speak on such matters is impractical.

Ty, and I are like Nixon and Kennedy (the original). We both started out believing. and trying to convince others of our positions. I gave up and retreated to dirty tricks, but with Ty its still Camelot....

Me too. And Ken Lay/Enron, and the entire defense industry.

Everyone look, this is Democratic paranoia. this state is completely ruled by Dems, and puts out a ballot where it appears you can't even vote for Bush at all, and Ty blames me.

He has enough troubles. You don't need to start in on his sexual inadequacies.

Who WAS that masked man sitting next to Carter at the convention, kemo sabe?

You know better than that. I don't work.

If you insist on being stupid, don't half-ass it, homey. Take the actual words "global test" and play it out to your illogical conclusion. It should mean that every country gets a vote on when we invade, right? This includes the "Axis of Evil," Djibouti and Estonia, right? No. Wait. It means that it should be submitted to every person on the face of the Earth as a referendum.

You're embarrassing yourself.

I think you can only relate to half-wits. Do you and Hank vacation together?

You heard wrong. He's been on vacation more than anybody I've known with a job in my whole life.
