Both parties held their respective state conferences over the weekend, and presumptive Dem nominee for Governor Tim Kaine fired off a nice salvo that emphasized the success Mark Warner's government has had cleaning up Jim Gilmore's mess.

Apparently yelling during a pep rally isn't presidential, neither is (allegedly) receiving Botox injections, judging from the number of diaries devoted to these subjects...

Taking advantage of a national tragedy in order to ram through a radical domestic agenda for which one never received a popular mandate? Presidential, apparently.

Unilaterally begin a war with questionable evidence and unclear motivation? Presidential, you say? Fine.

Well, judging by the recent stories Drudge is dredging up, I ask this...

Is it presidential to be caught picking your nose in public? Read More

At the time of this diary entry, the response to the question "Are the media unfairly characterizing Howard Dean's post-Iowa loss rally?" is 58% yes (about 25K voted). How might one interpret this? Evidence that the Dean charm campaign is working? The media annoyed the public (gee, that's a shock) by playing the clip 83 trillion times? Someone put this poll up on BFA? Thoughts?

Writer wants to use my Dean blog quote (out of context?)..

I received this e-mail today...

Dear Sir/Madam- I work as a freelance stringer for AP, Reuters and several other news orgs.

I am currently compiling information for an OP-ED piece that will be contrasting Candidate Dean's political statements with those of his supporters.

Especially in regards to a perceived sense of growing hopelessness in the ranks of his supporters following the Iowa loss.

I will be using your statement, quoted as follows:

" ....I just picked myself off the floor yesterday."

This is a courtesy notice as your comments were posted on a public forum and as such need no permission to be used.

Sincerely

Of course, I did write this, I was in shock after Dean's loss in Iowa. The whole point of the post (which I sincerely wish I can find) was that after my initial shock I am still committed to the Dean campaign. It simply makes me ill to think my quote might be used to illustrate that Dean's support is waning now.

Bush: "The no jobs president" (Salon)

In anticipation of the roughly 30,000 times we're going to hear the phrase "Our economy is improving" in the upcoming SOTU address, I recommend watching the free ad and reading the John Galbriath piece on Salon. The money paragraph?

What does Bush want? He wants a growth rate high enough to get him through the election. That's obvious. After that, he doesn't care. His clientele -- the military contractors, oil companies, pharmaceutical firms and big media that control this government -- make their money on patents, contracts and the exercise of monopoly power. (Case in point: Bush is pressuring impoverished Central Americans, in trade negotiations, to add 10 years to the length of drug patents.) These people have no interest in full employment. They like unemployment, weak labor, low wages and a government that bullies on their behalf. And after the election, if Bush wins, that is what they will get for four more years.

We all know how much our prez loves talking to the press, which is why he's given an interview with the hard-hitting Barbara Walters over Christmas the past two years. Apparently Barbara's getting a little big for her britches, though, and Dubya, tired of the trick questions, is going to sit down this year with the fair and balanced Diane Sawyer.

The network said that the interview will air on Sawyer's Primetime program on Thursday and will also be excerpted for her Good Morning America. As with the previous Walters interviews, the president is expected to be joined by First Lady Laura Bush for part of the program.

Oh, what will they talk about? What Dubya's getting for Christmas? How Laura feels about those evil terrorist-lovin' Democrats? What a b*tch Natalie Maines is?

I've got no problem w/gambling myself. I think it's great. I also live hours away from the nearest casino, which has probably kept me from being a [Pesci] low-life degenerate gambling pr*ck motherf*cker [/Pesci]. This article was, therefore, very interesting to me...

The world's largest casino company is creating a list of problem gamblers who would be barred for life from all Park Place Entertainment casinos, company officials said Tuesday.

Didn't make sense to me, I thought, when has a casino ever looked out for its patrons in a way NOT designed to take more money from them? Read More

Yep, legendary funk musician George Clinton was arrested in Florida on a felony charge of possession of cocaine. Meanwhile, Florida continues to slowly sink into the ocean under the weight of Rush's illegal Oxycontin shipments. So...

Dean: "Misled"

Maybe it's cheap of me to keep running stories from the Dean blog, but here's the script for the Dean ad that will be running with the new bat money.

Misled
TV script -- 30 seconds

Narrator: The president misled us about weapons of mass destruction.

And we went to war when we shouldn't have.

Howard Dean is committed to fighting terrorism and protecting our national security.

But Howard Dean has been opposed to the war in Iraq from the beginning.

He believes it's time to have a foreign policy consistent with American values.

And it's time to restore the dignity and respect our country deserves around the world.

Howard Dean: I'm Howard Dean and I approve this message because our party and our country need new leadership.

How about "Misled" by Kool and the Gang as a campaign song?
