But he throws the best cocktail parties

Or gives the best "intellectual head" or something because goddammit, the Washington Press Corps...a group that knows what's best with bree knows what's best for thee and what's best is apparently John McCain being "George Bush without the drool cup".

Now they enable the man they hope becomes pretend Warlord in Chief to stand up to public discourse by not allowing the "proles" to engage in public discourse. How dare those peons, those commoners, those liberals at the New School not only protest McCain's support of a fucked up war, but actually verbalize it in the form of a speech given before hand.

Here is his "Chief of Staff" being all tolerant and shit:

The Senator's intention was to discuss with Americans, not any particular subset of Americans, but his fellow countrymen, the things that he feels are important to remember in our political debates: that we owe each other our respect just as we owe each other our best advocacy for the things we believe are important for our country...

...He has, over and over again, risked personal ambitions for what he believes, rightly or wrongly, are in the best interests of the country. What, pray tell, have you risked? The only person you have succeeded in making look like an idiot is yourself.

You took exception to the paragraph in which he lightly deprecated the vanity of youth. Well, Ms. Rohe, and your fellow graduates's comical self-importance deserves a rebuke far stronger than the gentle suggestions he offered you. So, let me leave you with this. Should you grow up and ever get down to the hard business of making a living and finding a purpose for your lives beyond self-indulgence some of you might then know a happiness far more sublime than the fleeting pleasure of living in an echo chamber


Liberals are NOT allowed to express themselves in polite so-sah-i-tee.

What a nice bit of logical sleight-of-hand one can have when you are a Republican. You can be Jerry Falwell and say it was "the gays and the lesbians" that caused 9-11, and still get invited to sit down with the movers and the shakers in the Party as they invoke 9-11 to say "no it was the Iraqistanians" that must be punished because of 9-11. Just ask Mary Cheney!
