Do you think the corruption or the incompetency of the Bush administration was worse? Ronald Reagan sounding conservative saved us from regulation that would have prevented the current destruction of institutions like Bear Stears, Fannie, Freddie, Merrill Lynch, AIG. Are you "conservative Republicans" insane or just stupid? It's hard to tell. I imagine your portfolios are diminishing in value along with the destruction of the asset value of most of middle America.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427940.post-80542767708376756722008-09-05T15:27:00.000-04:002008-09-05T15:27:00.000-04:00OBH:Estrich isn't a terrible lawyer, and I'...OBH:<BR/><BR/>Estrich isn't a terrible lawyer, and I've been pleased over the years at the number of times she's stood up for principle at the expense of party.<BR/><BR/>PDS>PMS--funny, but I think it all a product of BDS.<BR/><BR/>AVI:<BR/><BR/>I'm more Jacksonian than fan of Jackson himself, though I read some other bio, not Hacket's (and haven't yet got around to Webb's Scots-Irish book <A HREF="http://assistantvillageidiot.blogspot.com/2008/09/andrew-jackson.html" REL="nofollow">you cite</A>; it's on my list, though I can't stand Webb).

Ive gained a little respect for some of the lefty pundits, including one I'd written off as a complete idiot, Susan Estrich. As M.O.M. points to Anchoress' site, one finds that Estrich has, indeed, acked that the media's treatment of Palin is both sexist and demeaning. I still think she's an idiot on the whole, but she does appear to have some principles, a pretty rare thing on The Left.<BR/><BR/>I do recommend one check out the Anchoress if one wants a nice summary of all the BS. <BR/><BR/>One thing someone commented on was that it ought to called "Palin Madness Syndrome", not PDS.<BR/>:o)<BR/>Especially true if you want to tick off the feminists.OBloodyHellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992539380115488567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427940.post-49982550848444455642008-09-05T14:44:00.000-04:002008-09-05T14:44:00.000-04:00> I suspect Sarah Barracuda will chafe at the b...> I suspect Sarah Barracuda will chafe at the bit and be assigned a good bit of work, but her job is mostly to understudy being president.<BR/><BR/>Quite true. I sort of touched on this in another thread, I think.

I thought media elites were supposed to know all this high-school civics stuff. It must come from regarding only what happens in Washington as "real." Being Governor of Alaska doesn't happen in front of Sally Quinn, being VP does, so it must be harder and more important.<BR/><BR/>I suspect Sarah Barracuda will chafe at the bit and be assigned a good bit of work, but her job is mostly to understudy being president.

In 1992, I taped a bumper-sticker to my car's back window because it summarized the best reason for my vote: "Annoy the media; re-elect Bush." Of course, it didn't work then. But, suddenly, I'm getting excited about this election, and about our potential historic ability to show how illiberal the left is. Their obvious fear-and-loathing of women, fertility, etc., is a big part of that.<BR/><BR/>So, annoy the feminists, and elect McCain-Palin.@nooil4pacifistshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16688417615117569825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427940.post-82909786258719712772008-09-04T16:32:00.000-04:002008-09-04T16:32:00.000-04:00This has exceeded normal jealousy, and veered into...This has exceeded normal jealousy, and veered into the "I'll cut my own breast off to spite your face" psychosis.MaxedOutMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08011469804162511617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427940.post-82014790973315700372008-09-04T13:27:00.000-04:002008-09-04T13:27:00.000-04:00Some women are jealous of some women.Some women are jealous of some women.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
