Surging Dread For The Dems & A Weekly Review

A perusal of this past political week, as processed by my non-linear brain.

As I watched the first NFL game of the season last night I thought about strategy, leadership and Nancy Pelosi (told you it was non-linear up in here!). At the end of the first half, the team with the superior firepower (the Colts) was tied up with a team that wasn't as good but formidable in their own way. Under the Pelosi/Reid/Schumer strategy, the logical move for the Colts would have been to wring their hands at halftime, whine "This isn't easy!" and not take the field for the second half. For you non-football fans, the Colts stayed the course and handily achieved all of their goals by the end of the game.

If Rudy Giuliani had been coaching the Colts he would have spent all of halftime talking about his eight years as a head coach in New York and not mentioning any real strategy for the second half.

Medical miracle of the week: Chuck Schumer's ability to speak is completely disconnected from his brain!

Clinton donor/felon Norman Hsu showed up in a Colorado hospital after being on the run this week. All hospital officials would say about his condition was that he was "delirious." I say that about everyone who writes Hillary a check, it's nice to see doctors classifying it as a medical condition. If we work together we can find a cure!

I've had a rough couple of years but I am extremely grateful for the fact that I haven't ever had to explain my "stance" on public restrooms.

Fred Thompson and John McCain give the Republicans two real men running while the Democrats are still stuck with just Hillary.

A new contest by the Clinton campaign is offering the winner lunch with Hillary. To spice up the offer, Bill sent a note to supporters saying "I hear you might be having lunch with Hillary — do you mind if I drop in?" He then goes on to say "It would be really cool if we could do it at Hooters," as he has an office there.

A short week gets a short review. Next week we'll have the Petraeus report, Fred's first full week and new video of Mitt Romney and Barack Obama suit shopping at the Elite Guy mall.
