Apparently she has some notoriety among the "blog people."
Be afraid NotBob, and let our resident blogophiles hash this one out.

Huckabee
Sorry - I haven't been able to keep up so you have probably talked about this but this Mike Huckabee is starting to scare me. This guy is very Charismatic but he is no diffferent from Pat Robertson and Jerry Fallwell. His election would be like electing the Ayatolla.

I was just talking about this tonight. The guy is likeable; I remember reading a Runners World profile a couple of years ago that focused on his weight loss, etc.
But c'mon. A "serious" candidate that doesn't believe in evolution and thinks the earth is only [insert biblical number] years old? Makes it a bit more awkward to crisizing the other backward fucktards in the world a bit more difficult.

His nomination would ensure a Dem. victory. I am rooting for him in a sick way.

"We're an empire now, we make our own reality."
How are his particular little fantasies less dangerous than Bush's?
There are ways in which I am less frightened of genuine, sincere evangelicals than of insincere right-wingers pandering to evangelicals. But I find all the Rs pretty scary. |

Rice, on the U.S. intelligence report saying Iran hasn't expanded its nuclear weapons program since 2003:
"People need the opportunity to absorb what they've heard," Rice said. "We have been completely transparent about what the intelligence assessment says. And people need a chance to read it. When they do that and when they read it in its detail and nuance, they will be able to see the points that I have made."
Having to use "opportunity to absorb" and "nuance" in stating your position=you don't have a very good position.

I suspect his nomination would also ensure that Bloomberg emerges from foreign policy school ready to run as an independent.

2. He'll get brutalized on the literal interpretation of the Bible thing. Too many easy jokes for the press in it. I think he's going to try to broker the Jesus Freak vote a VP slot with Romney or Rudy.

How would that make sense? It would be like a schism within the White House.

thinking of you all.
watched the mall news on fox, and couldn't help but think of the board and all it has taught me. i remember how you all explained that the guys who get on buses in Israel and blow themselves and moms and kids up are suicide bombers, and to call them homicide bombers is wrong.
with the mall guy, Fox mentioned the guy did suicide, but the news focused on the people he killed while doing it. Fucking fox.
anyone know if CNN called him a suicide shopper, and put the focus where it belonged?

no. but looking at the coverage, it occured to me that his ultimate suicide is no different than the bomber dying. they both act to kill, and I was thus questioning the earlier politically based arguments that calling the bombers "homicide" was somehow wrong.
It called an absurdist example, and is intended to perhaps maske some rethink their earlier position relative to the phrase "homicide" bombers.
