Speaking of dorks, there are some really dorking posts in this dorky-looking Bonfire of the Vanities hosted by mypetjawa.

When I found out the Super Zeroes were running around NYC, I hoped the Democrats were finally learning to inject a little levity into the tense, political environment. After seeing some pictures of Miss Leadership, Enron Ed, Hal E. Burton, and Lt. Bush I realized they just look like dorks. Compare them to Communists for [...]

The lastest SwiftVets ad deals with Kerry tossing “his” medals. It’s ok. It’s no where near as powerful as when the vets speak for themselves. It will keep them and their attacks on Kerry in the news.

McCain – eh. Didn’t listen. He reminds me of Don Rickles’ brother. The smart one who went to college and never made as much money as his famous sibling, and it rankled. Oh how it rankled.
He has pictures too!

Rich Galen’s a class act:
The best part of my day, however, was at the ice cream store across the street from my hotel where I had stopped in to buy a root beer float with chocolate ice cream. Just as I was finishing my order a fireman walked in and stood behind me.

When the “Blond Babes for Bush” aren’t reveling in Sean Hannity’s shadow or doing an excellent job of self-promotion (they did get a mention on TAM) they sell Mary Kay products. By 2008 they’ll all be driving to the convention in their pink Cadillacs.

Night 1 featured GOP moderates Sen. John McCain and Rudy Guiliani. Both delivered scathing attacks on Bush’s opponents. McCain defended the Islamist War in general and the Iraq War in particular. While plodding through his civil remarks and fighting with the audience over applause lines, he got all the delegates in a froth when [...]

Kfir Alfia and his Protest Warriors have his the Big Apple and the big time with an interview in Newsweek. Way before Alfia hit the big time he was a caller on Rush Limbaugh and the subject of this TAM interview.

The USA Today/Gallup poll offers more evidence that Bush is doing well in Wisconsin. We’re not a hard-core Republican state. So if Bush takes the Badger state I see him getting a lot of other battleground states making the final outcome more lopsided than most people think.

Either the MTV crowd didn’t think the Video Music Awards were the place for politicking or they think the Bush twins are hotter.

It appears two Attas were going into the Czech Republic in the spring of 2000. That certainly would confuse investigators. Instead of Atta the hijacker hanging around Prague’s Ruzyne Airport it was Atta the Pakistani businessman. However, the two Attas don’t explain where Atta the hijacker was 04.08.01. That’s the day a Czech informant claims [...]

According to a Rasmussen poll, President Bush is head of Sen. John Kerry 48%-45%. We’re getting to the point where polls actually start to mean something. This is good news for Bush. He narrowly lost the Badger state in 2000, but it has a few trends going his way. Even though the state has a [...]

100,000+ people came out of their homes, RVs, tents, and enironmentally-friendly caves to decry President Bush. Roger Simon is there and thought he was back in 1968. An NYC cop also thought the protesters had some temporal problems. “It’s like fuggin’ 9/11 never happened.”
