Rooting for injuries
Like John, I’m rather enjoying the public spat going on between Steve Schmidt and Emperor Palpatine Bill Kristol. Here’s the good stuff:
William Kristol, the editor of The Weekly Standard and at times an informal adviser to Sen. John McCain, touched off the latest back-and-forth Tuesday morning with a post on his magazine’s blog criticizing the Todd Purdum-authored Palin story and pointing a finger at Steve Schmidt, McCain’s campaign manager.
Kristol cited a passage in Purdum’s piece in which “some top aides” were said to worry about the Alaska governor’s “mental state” and the prospect that the Alaska governor may be suffering from post-partum depression following the birth of her son Trig. “In fact, one aide who raised this possibility in the course of trashing Palin’s mental state to others in the McCain-Palin campaign was Steve Schmidt,” Kristol wrote.
Asked about the accusation, Schmidt fired back in an e-mail: “I’m sure John McCain would be president today if only Bill Kristol had been in charge of the campaign.”
“After all, his management of [former Vice President] Dan Quayle’s public image as his chief of staff is still something that takes your breath away,” Schmidt continued.
It’s tough to know whom to root for in this fight, but if I had to choose, I gotta say I sympathize with Schmidt. Oh sure, he’s a sleazy GOP political operative who’s clearly trying to cover his ass for his own failings. But at the same time, Schmidt has actually had to, you know, do stuff in his career. He help Ah-nold get reelected in California. He was apparently the Bushies’ point man for getting Alito and Roberts confirmed. Of course, these aren’t admirable achievements, but they are achievements.
Meanwhile, what the hell has Bill Kristol ever done? Mostly he’s sat on his ass in the Weekly Standard office and advocated invading other countries. Christ, he even backed sending America’s armed forces to take down the damned Somali pirates — as though the Army doesn’t have enough wars to fight already.
The bottom line is this: imagine you’re Steve Schmidt. Imagine that you’ve worked your ass off to make John McCain into a semi-legitimate candidate for the presidency. And then imagine that this twerp from the Weekly Standard comes along and convinces McCain to pick as his running mate a crazy, narcissistic wingnut who is well known for stabbing her allies in the back and whose sole qualification for the vice presidency has been eating a moose. How the hell would you feel?

Built two Death Stars, had three Sith Lords killed, converted The Convergence to the Dark Side, destroyed a Republic and turned it into an empire….Get off his back, willya????? The guy only has two hands!
J Edgar said,
July 1, 2009 at 15:54
So, Steve Schmidt didn’t notice that John McCain would say or do ANYTHING at anytime, and possibly reverse himself the next minute or next day. Or he just didn’t care? Which feeling is it?
Fleas correct the era said,
July 1, 2009 at 15:55
It’s the didn’t care one. He’s a Republican.
St. Trotsky, Pope-in-Avignon said,

Why do I have the feeling choosing between these two is comparable to the expression “not knowing whether to shit or go blind”?
Ted the Slacker said,
July 1, 2009 at 16:02
“It’s tough to know whom to root for in this fight”
Well, given Kristol’s awesome record of GOPFAIL, I’d have to root for him.
forked tongue said,
July 1, 2009 at 16:05
Yes! We want Kristol to emerge stronger from this fight, with more political capital and leadership status!
Pere Ubu said,
July 1, 2009 at 16:05
Access my loach, tribs!
“some top aides” were said to worry about the Alaska governor’s “mental state”
Wheee, so that would make two American governors who are certifiable. At least.
Ah yes, the prattle said,
July 1, 2009 at 16:16
I was going to root for Kristol to take down Schmidt on the chance that Schmidt may have learned something from the failed McCain candidacy that would make him more effective managing future campaigns but then I had a vision of him as the GOP’s answer to Bob Shrum. Now I have to root for him to work for every Republican presidential candidate for the next 20 years or so.
Ted the Slacker said,
July 1, 2009 at 16:19
One other thing – “imagine you’re Steve Schmidt”
Okay I tried.
Doesn’t much matter whether it’s Steve Schmidt, Steve-O or Steve the Pirate, the idea of Bill Kristol pointing an accusatory finger in your direction for talking to journalists is like having Doughy go apeshit on someone for having an oedipus complex.

I find Bloody Bill much more tolerable now that he has zero influence over anyone relevant. Keep grinnin’, Billy.
D.N. Nation said,
July 1, 2009 at 16:24
To be fair to Kwazy Kristol, though…
Actually, dude, you pretty much did run the campaign like Kristol would have. That is to say…perpetual pronouncement of victory was Job #1. Every single drooling sub-moronic stunt Camp McCain pulled- from Notjoe the Notplumber to AyersAyersAyers to the Britney ad to the campaign suspension was done for the sake of declaring to any schmuck who’d listen that each stunt would finally drive that last nail into the Obama campaign’s coffin. I can’t see how Bill da Butcher would have done any worse.

It’s the collateral damage I’m enjoying. It all turns around how obviously terrible Sarah Palin is.
Let us note her place in the minds of voters as of June 10th:
Her under-two-percentness is not for lack of hearts to win: the top three vote-getters who speak for the Republican party are Other, No one, and No opinion.
Mr. GOP said,
July 1, 2009 at 16:28
You know, Palin is still one of the most popilar Governors in the country. You can almost taste the fear coming from the lib bastions of Hollywood and Manhattan over the prospect of a Palin nomination.

Obviously, the only honorable and masculine way Schmidt and Kristol can end this argument is with hand grenades at five paces.
Anything less means they are spineless cowards and liars.
Mr. GOP said,
July 1, 2009 at 16:44
Who do you really think the American people will vote for in 2012 when the economy still hasn’t recovered, the deficit is spiraling out of control, and inflation and taxes are on the rise?
Sure as shit they won’t vote for Hopey McChange again.

If you want to see the end results of liberalism, look at New York City and California. Both bankrupt shit holes that are losing population due to their high taxes, high spending, political corruption, crime, and nanny satate laws.
While NY and CA have huge budget deficitsn guess what state has a budget SURPLUS, even in a recession? Texas. And its population is growing. Because of successful conservative principles.
Compare it to shithole Michigan, California, or New York.

Hi, Twoofie. Looks like you know something about me.
Something you don’t know: the GOP brand here is el toasto in 2010/2012. Apparently you can’t campaign entirely on “Atlanta SUX!” and expect to run the state forever.
Mr. GOP said,
July 1, 2009 at 17:10
McCain lost because he voted for the bailout, and because the MSM was in the tank for Obama. ACORN busing homeless people in from Chicago and Kentucky to vote in Indiana and Black Panthers intimmidating people at to polls in PA didn’t help, either.

As a rule I eschew violence, but in this case I think I’d be pretty happy to hand out the 2X4s for however long it takes one of them to work their way through the other’s lead-filled skull.
You can almost taste the fear
Mmm, num num num … yummy yummy fear … kinda like butterscotch, actually.
I didn’t notice any flavor coming from the extremely fearsome link in my previous comment here but I’m pretty sure that scratch-&-sniff cards would only add to the fun-factor.
But I practice what I preach when it comes to tolerance of others’ cultures – if the GOP decides it really wants to nominate The Whore Of Babylon, for POTUS then I say what the heck, let ‘em – after all, it’d STILL be an improvement on that grinning human boil made of non sequiturs & epic fail they got “elected” last time.

Well, in the post-apocalyptic wasteland she’s certain is arriving any day now, she’ll be Queenie-for-Eternity, so these minor details about a census is but a trifling impingement on her fantasies of wearing a crown and bossing around underlings into physical infirmity, the mental already long infirm.
Honestly, not really long-term thinkers we’re dealing with here.
Mr. GOP said,
July 1, 2009 at 18:26
She told her constituents to only put down the number of people in their household and their addressan since that is the only thing the Constitution authorizes the Census to do. Any other questions are unconstitutional and an invasion of privacy.

It’s fun to watch Twewfie sputter old wingnut bullshit in response to the scorn justly heaped on his original assertion, that people are actually scared of a Palin presidential run instead of it being the best-case scenario for Democrats. He’s like our own personal Shut Up, Little Man!

Is this the same (putative adult) troll that has the hot stripper wife and talks to high-ranking career CIA guys at his barbecues?

Troofie, or someone remarkably like him, likes to go into supervillain mode sometimes:
When will the Republicans start coming back, Troofie?
Are you going to keep moving the goalposts, Troofie?
Bookmark, this, GOP!

That was The Fool.
I can see how you could mix them up.

I am actually scared of a Palin presidential run – if she’s anywhere on the ticket, there is a possibility she’ll actually win. It might take major electoral shenanigans, or the U.S. public might just be stupid enough to do it for real. Better safe, I say.

Being scared of a Palin presidential run is somewhere between ’shark attack’ and ‘lightning strike’ as far as plausibility goes.
And being from Florida, I’ve got much better odds on the first two.

True enough, but I don’t go stand under tall trees during rainstorms. Here in the desert I’m relatively safe from shark attacks.

Home run, Brad. I also love Schmidt’s line on Quayle.

nanny satate laws.
What Tw00fiee (extra E) doesn’t realize is that NY actually has nanny satiate laws. Should a liberal libertine decide to have hawt sexxx with a nanny, it is illegal not to satisfy her. Of course, he would be against such a law, being completely unable to please (or even locate) a lover.

The bottom line is this: imagine you’re Steve Schmidt. Imagine that you’ve worked your ass off to make John McCain into a semi-legitimate candidate for the presidency. And then imagine that this twerp from the Weekly Standard comes along and convinces McCain to pick as his running mate a crazy, narcissistic wingnut who is well known for stabbing her allies in the back and whose sole qualification for the vice presidency has been eating a moose. How the hell would you feel?
You know when you put it that way it’s a bit of a wonder that Schmitt hasn’t become a proud member of the Democratic party.
