MNSpeak: Talk

Powerline Takedown

Lambert goes after the locally created political blog for claiming that Obama must learn to be as careful a public speaker as Bush: Hinderaker won The Golden Wingnut for this 2005 musing: "It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius...."



Maybe Hinderaker was hoping for a sleepover with that last one, but my point here is that Hinderaker and the rest of his Powerline team truly are regarded as part of the intellectual foundation for 21st century conservatives. Hence the internecine warfare the Republicans are waging as we speak. How do you climb out of a hole dug by that kind of thinking if you depend on ... that kind of thinking ... to return you to the suirface?

Also, what is up with the right suddenly playing the victim card for W? Was that on the Daily Show last night?

In other news, I was at Walkin' Dog for lunch today and they were playing Fox News. I liked how Fox News is getting on Obama because there's no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog. And yes, I was really at a place called "Walkin' Dog"

There's a strong odor of bloginary masturbation coming from that post. I hope Mr. Lambert feels better after such a profound release.

Is it the Walkin' Dog, or just the smell of urine, etc. in that putrid section of sidewalk under the Northstar ramp entrance?

Hot dog water is putrid.

Anyone who tries to make a case for George W Bush's care with words is clearly smoking the good shit.

They are lawers working for bankers, erica. If anyone can afford the good stuff, it's them.
