If you believe David Broder’s latest tripe, he doesn’t give a crap either way who wins this election. Broder talks about the closeness of the race:
Some find this unsettling and unacceptable, and they give full license to their emotions of joy or despair. I find it wonderful, even inspiring. This has been — and remains — the election of a lifetime.
It really makes no difference either way. As long as everyone remains civil and talks about the issues…
I was just walking through my living room and Anderson Cooper announced that if I stayed tuned I will be able to hear James Carville and Bay Buchanan weigh in on the presidential race. I think that says it all about how much CNN sucks moose.
They can talk about whether remarks are sexy or not for 5 minutes? OH goody. what a waste of brain cells.
Booman, I attended the DC celebrity funniest comedy contest tonight. Total Wankfest, especially when the celebs are pols, activitsts, or media members. The event was for a good cause and my GOP buddy scored me a free ticket.
Huckabee won and he was really funny. The Huckster had a great lines about Palin and Romney. “Romney had more positions on the issues than underage women Chinese gymnists.”
The runner up, a Politico video blogger, James Kotecki stole the show with a hysterical rap, making fun of all politicians and himself. He should have won. He kept ripping on David Shuster because he was replacing him in the contest. Bob Barr was rolling 5 deep in his entourage too and I could not stop laughing about it. Barr had some OK lines. Riz Khan from al Jazeerah cracked me up too. I almost went up to CNN’s Pentagon correspondent Jamie McIntye to ask him about the Propaganda program and the killings of innocent people in Afghanistan. I did not have the energy or enough booze in me.
David Broder needs to retire, quit and just go away.
Here is more info on the event.

I saw McCain was on TeleMundo crying about negativity in the campaign. This from the man that used Paris Hilton and Britney Spears in his campaign commercials. What an ass clown. I’ve got your negative right here, you self-serving neanderthal. Lets hold McCain to the same standard as O’bama. I’d like to see some O’bama ads with McCain and images of the motorcycle gang the Sons of Silence. The potential assassins in StevenD’s diary. At least it would be truthful since McCain offered up his wife to these meth addicted losers in his Sturgis appearance.
When blackbirds test the reality of a field with their sweet questionings, I wonder if they have to deal with problems of wanking and chafing. If not, chalk one up for them.
Today is Broder’s birthday. He’s 79.
Maybe it’s death that drives him. Broder probably doesn’t want to leave any enemies behind. Except the Left. But we don’t count.
Not if wanking is your vocation, I guess.
On a more positive note, I noticed that the WaPo editorial page today managed to abandon its standard “a pox on both your houses” format…. Wow. You know a republican has gone off the deep end when they lose Fred Hiatt. Although I assume it will be temporary…and they still insist that McCain is “a serious man running an unserious campaign.” They still can’t give up on the idea the McCain is “really” a saint.
p.s. Speaking of “wankers”, I thought that Joe Klein’s take on the Sarah Palin phenomenon (in Time) is actually right on the money. Perhaps he has given up wanking in his old age.
As Ernest Borgnine and I can confirm, wanking does chafe. However, we don’t do it in public and we don’t show everyone the rash.
