Shorter Richard Cohen:

I don’t care what you say — I’m not going to stop sucking John McCain’s cock and you can’t make me!

“As his North Vietnamese captors found out, there is only so far he will go, and then his pride or his sense of honor takes over.”

Yes, as I remember he actually made tapes for the North admitting he was a war criminal but would not let them film him actually giving bj’s to his captors or having little after dinner chats while smoking Havana Primos. After all, a man has his pride.

They’re a single ideological chameleon? At the same time? It has two heads, I imagine. I also imagine it coruscating with all the colours of the rainbow as its heads alternatively switch its body from red to blue and back again. That’s going to keep me awake at night.

Oh no. This is my fault. Brad originally wrote a phrase like 'both Obama and McCain are something of ideological chameleons,' and I was like, "Hm, this appears to be a typo of the hasty-typing variety," and I tried and tried to make the parts agree better, but it couldn't be done... Each Obama and McCain is something of a...? Both Obama and McCain are somethings of a...? Obama and McCain are both individually something of ideological chameleons, or are respectively an ideological chameleon? Each are, both is...?

“It was Karr, a French writer, who coined the phrase plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose” Isn’t it plus ça change, plus ci la même chose? I don’t feel like looking it up but that’s what I remember. Nope

Many feel that in order to become a millionaire and have a successful business you will need to start strong and make all your money right away so you don’t have to wait. However, the best millionaire businesses are willing to start out small sized and grow at a slower rate.

Millionaire: A presidential race is only incidentally about issues. It’s really about likability and character. Obviously, however, this is only the case for the ignorant "lower class," which comprises ninety-nine percent of the voters in this country, the ninety-nine percent with the lowest incomes. For the richest one percent, who own and run everything, particularly the news media, presidential races are all about issues, or to be exact, one issue: "We wanna tax cut! We don't care if the entire country gets wrecked in the process, we demand our tax cut! Gimme gimme GIMME MY TAX CUT!!!!!"

America is keeping the Richard Cohens of the world around the way we kept our VHS movies around three or four years too long, fooling ourselves into believing we’re going to watch them again.

I think this is a brilliant analysis of both Richard Cohen and the boxes of VHS tapes in my basement.

I can’t be bothered looking it up, either (Hey! I write a column for the Washington Post!), but I’ve always said, “La plus ça change, la plus ça ne change pas.”

Why do i get the feeling that every time McCain is against the ropes, he’ll talk about his capitivity in North Vietnam?

A presidential race is only incidentally about issues. It’s really about likability and character.
Conveniently but coincidentally, that takes away the onus from newspaper columnists to research the issues and policies, and acquire some understanding of them.
