Brownback is running for preznident on the Repub ticket, and all the positions from center-right to farther-right-than-Genghis-Khan have been staked out by other Repubs. Standing up against Teh Surge gives him a little novelty value, at least. Holey Joe, on the other hand, is not going to be running for office for another five years… unless, of course, he can triangulate far enough to the right that St. McCain or one of the other Repub primarians taps him for the VP role. (And after all the good Joe did in that slot for Gore’s campaign, any Repub would have to be insane or desperate to do that, but Joe prays every night to the Political God of Insane Desperation, so… )

Why do I get the feeling Liberman thinks it would be reasonable and non-partisan under certain circumstances for George W. Bush to remain in the White House for, say, an extra term?

Look, only the radical left thinks the suspension of the Constitution is a bad thing.

Dude, relax. I said nothing of the sort.

I still like him better than Holy Joe though.

I know you didn’t. It was more of a “crazy madman yelling at the world” moment, rather than “crazy madman yelling at you specifically”.

And I agree. I’d much rather deal with folks to are honest about their wingnuttiness, than those who try and hide it in terms of moderation. Easier to debate, and much less whining about being “misunderstood”.

Yeah, Sam Brownback “Mountain” is insane. But not as insane as Joe Lieberman.

Does that mean I’d vote for Hillary over Sam? No. But I might vote for Sam over Joe.

Of course, in that latter scenario, I think suicide might be the only palatable option.

So in terms of your level of respect for him, Brownback’s mountin’?

Our troops’ll be discouraged all right — to hear that the Senate thinks extending their duty tours is a horrible plan but don’t have the balls to, you know, stop it from happening until another thousand or so of them are dead for a lie that no one believes any more.

Firstly, George Bush has put endangered animals at risk (and his VP favours shooting wingless birds in canned hunts)... The good news, Lesley, is that, far from being endangered, the population of elephants has tripled in the last decade! ... and second, the elephant is one of the most magnificent mammals on the planet, embodying the best, and only rarely the worst, of human qualities. It saddens me to see the elephant in the photo above being used to mock scum like Lieberman. To be fair, Lesley, Brad is using the elephant dung implied in the photo to mock Holy Joe (the elephant, if I understand the metaphor, is the GOP). While elephant dung is, arguably, one of the most magnificent mammal poops in the world (you can make paper out of it and you can use it to piss off Rudy Giuliani and Bernard Goldberg), I'm quite comfortable comparing Joementum with this.

Itâ€™s (embolden) a perfectly cromulent word.

Derivative. The original word was embiggen, attributed to Jebediah Obidiah Zachariah Springfield.

I spell it “crombulent”. It just feels like it needs a ‘b’.

No, Brad. You dislike him less. If you have any warm feelings about either of them, please don’t sully this forum with that filth.

“Ok, Iâ€™ve had it with the word â€œembolden.â€? Seriously, who talks like that? Is that even a word?”

It’s a perfectly cromulent word. Dunno what your problem is.

Ok, I’ve had it with the word “embolden.” Seriously, who talks like that? Is that even a word? Isn’t there a normal word that would be better? Inspire? Cheer? Encourage?

That’s it. Any more “embolden” talk and I’m writing a nasty letter to the New York Times. I mean it! I’ll turn this car right around!

I donâ€™t see any ethics, just pure political calculation.

Yep. No surge, but he blabs about “cut-and-run” like the rest of ‘em.
