(A quick once-over of the left of the left bloggers today)
Once again, the Democrats had their retro Viet Nam retreat party ruined by the lame duck. The score for your Democratic majority is now: Lame-Duck President-41 Majority Mandate Mavens: 0. Congress really should have a mercy rule.
Then the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, after years of pretending to be makers, rather than interpreters of the law, finally got one right.
Looks like it might have had the makings of a rough day for the lefty bloggers, don't you think?
Nah, tomorrow's Howard Dean's birthday, which is what TDKers celebrate instead of Christmas. So they're not too upset because they are busy firing up the bongs and giving shouts out to their emotional and ideological leader.
Hey, send a Xanax and Bourbon to the governor for me.
OK, they are actually going off on their pet court over there, which illustrates the ever-widening divide between right and left. True, the fact that the most dangerously rogue court in America would side with George W. Bush on a matter of national security is no less stunning on this side of the fence. I have a phenomenal imagination and I don't think I would have ever seen that coming. Still waiting for someone to wake me up...
However, we think it's a good sign that even some of the fringe can get the important things through their heads once in a while. The Extraterrestrial Left is up in arms about affronts to liberty and privacy rights, neither of which they would enjoy if the people we're going after were allowed to have their way. No doubt I'm a Kool-Aid drinking cretin for saying that enemies might act all enemy-ish if allowed to run roughshod. My favorite flavor is lime. Throw in some potato vodka for me, would you?
Calm down kiddies, I'm sure that the Ninth Circuit Court will get back to issuing keys to the U.S. Treasury to every illegal worker soon. Let them have their afternoon on the sane side of the street.
One post says that Wolf Blitzer is "hurting America" because he insisted on a yes or no answer. Frustration about the stupid questions and lame formats of the debates is all over the lefty blogs today. I won't pile on by letting them know they're agreeing with something Newt Gingrich has been saying for a long time. That, coupled with the Ninth Circuit Court acting all American for a day might make the poor dears faint.
My Through the Looking Glass moment came while reading blog after lefty blog complaining about the press and how awful the questioning at the debates has been. Ranting and raving about the fact that the MSM sucks...that's progressive. All I have to ask the Kosmonauts is, "Are there any other things we've been talking about on the right for thirty years that you'd like to borrow?"
One post fantasized about a panel of progressives staging a four hour debate between the eventual nominees. Why not have a panel of conservatives join in to truly test the candidates? Come on, ye lovers of all things ACLU, try sharing some of that First Amendment.
There is a lot of hatin' on James Carville going on with the Kosmonauts today and I'll admit that made it easier to hang around there longer.
Then I saw Al Gore referred to as a "visionary" and an "intellectual" in a post.
"Orderlies!"
