Palin said what?

Posted in WM_archive on September 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

So here’s a little snippet from Couric/Palin (emphasis mine): Katie Couric: You made a funny comment, you’ve said you have been listening to Joe Biden’s speeches since you were in second grade. Gov. Palin: It’s been since like ’72, yah. Katie Couric: You have a 72-year-old running mate, is that kind of a risky thing [...]

If you’re following me on Twitter, Facebook, or here on my blog, you know that I’m just a tad partisan as far as this election goes. I realize that not everyone shares my feeling that McCain 2008 bears little resemblance to the John McCain I used to respect or that the prospect of Sarah Palin [...]

The Perils of Palin

Posted in WM_archive on September 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Ta-Nehisi Coates has a long and thoughtful post on Sarah Palin (hat tip Andrew Sullivan). She starts by saying: I’ve been thinking a lot about this nomination and rewatching the videos of Palin’s interview. Honestly, it’s all made me tremendously sad. There are lot of us lefties who are guffawing right now and are happy [...]

Sarah Palin: post turtle?

Posted in WM_archive on September 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

So I got an email today with the post turtle story applied to Sarah Palin. This was after I read Ruth Marcus’ WaPo column today, which was likewise, not particularly flattering: An Alaska friend tells me that Palin has always benefited from being underestimated. Maybe I’m doing that. Maybe I’ve been around polished politicians too [...]

Never thought I'd be quoting George Will

But he does know how to turn a phrase re McCain 2008: Under the pressure of the financial crisis, one presidential candidate is behaving like a flustered rookie playing in a league too high. It is not Barack Obama. … It is arguable that, because of his inexperience, Obama is not ready for the presidency. [...]

Missed this park, originally uploaded by idblog. I used to stop by this park in north Old Town a lot, but haven’t been in a while. Picked a great day for a return visit!

Old boys network

Posted in WM_archive on September 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Oh, this is good: Yesterday, John McCain actually said that if he’s president that he’ll take on, and I quote, ‘the old boys network in Washington.’ Now I’m not making this up. This is somebody who’s been in Congress for twenty-six years, who put seven of the most powerful Washington lobbyists in charge of his [...]

I get more email

Posted in WM_archive on September 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Six degrees? I got the “Women Against Sarah Palin” email from a co-worker today: Friends and compatriots, We are writing to you because of the fury and dread we have felt since the announcement of Sarah Palin as the Vice-Presidential candidate for the Republican Party. We believe that this terrible decision has surpassed mere partisanship, [...]
