		<description>[...] In other words, whereas Hitler at least intended to usher in a golden, if Jew-free, age, Bush has never aspired to anything grander than wrecking everything he touches. What you&#8217;re seeing here is the ne plus ultra of leftist argumentation, where every policy disagreement devolves inevitably into accusations of bad faith and suspicions of ulterior motive. That&#8217;s why they&#8217;ve always been a bit uneasy with the &#8220;Bush is incompetent&#8221; meme, true though it may be: incompetence doesn&#8217;t speak to motive. It&#8217;s perfectly consistent to believe that Bush wanted to build a liberal democracy in Iraq but cocked up the planning so badly as to make it impossible; it&#8217;s not consistent if you also believe, as a matter of faith, that conservatives must and can only be motivated by greed or malice. That&#8217;s why Sullivan, for instance, has to resort to gobsmackingly vile shinola about &#8220;the Likud strategy&#8221; to square the circle. Sure they&#8217;ve made a mess of things &#8212; intentionally, to justify genocide. Which, ironically, by Mehlman&#8217;s lights, would constitute &#8220;meaning well.&#8221; [...]</description>

		<description>[...] Delightful yet predictable, as it always is when movements based on ideological purity and &#8220;authenticity&#8221; start to eat their own. Calling Kos a centrist is as stupid as the Kossacks calling the media right-wing, but her point about his opportunism isn&#8217;t far off the mark. Kos was only too happy last summer to have some attention paid to him by moderate Dem Mark Warner (&#8220;this is a heck of a first date!&#8221;) and the Blunder Twins were surprisingly willing to tone down the Christian-hate when John Edwards came calling. Like I said at the time, &#8220;The first priority for the fightin’ nutroots, even above ending the war, is cultivating their own power. And if they have to make ideological compromises to do that, hey.&#8221; That&#8217;s O&#8217;Connor&#8217;s real complaint here, I think, not Screw Them&#8217;s alleged centrism. [...]</description>

		<description>[...] While Donohue has to deal with different sorts of communication venues, so I&#8217;m not criticizing him for being unable to do this, I personally think Dawn Eden&#8217;s approach is great because she writes as if she&#8217;s laughing about it. Pandagon blogger Amanda Marcotte, a familiar name to readers of this blog, whose online persona caused controversy after John Edwards hired her as his campaign blogmistress, has issued an apology of sorts: My writings on my personal blog Pandagon on the issue of religion are generally satirical in nature and always intended strictly as a criticism of public policies and politics. My intention is never to offend anyone for his or her personal beliefs, and I am sorry if anyone was personally offended by writings meant only as criticisms of public politics. Freedom of religion and freedom of expression are central rights, and the sum of my personal writings is a testament to this fact. [...]</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Either he’s a gullible moron or he takes us for gullible morons. Bad news either way.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Au contraire! This assures many months of comedy &lt;em&gt;platinum&lt;/em&gt;. This would only be bad news if Edwards had any chance of getting elected, and this lessens his already slim chances of that happening. There&#039;s also the added bonus of these &quot;satirists&quot; actually paying some taxes!

Kucinich just watched his entire base defect to Tort Boy, though. So it&#039;s bad news for him, unless he dangles a shiny object in front of them or announces Kofi Annan as his running mate. Which, admittedly, is sort of the same thing.</description>

		<description>By pandering to the nutroots like this in order to try to win the Democratic nomination, John Edwards has absolutely assured himself of losing in the general election if by some improbable chance he did win the Democratic nomination.</description>

		<description>Hey, look, I agree that this is bad for Edwards.  He may have won points with the nutroots, but the actual voting public will see this as more proof that he&#039;s a liberal hack.

But here&#039;s the gotcha:  whatever&#039;s bad for Edwards is good for Hillary.

I, for one, am glad I don&#039;t live anywhere near a metropolitan center.  No doubt the next ground zero is impending and will be on the head of whatever libtard gets voted in in &#039;08.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;This was the smart move. Well, the smart move would be not hiring these hotheads in the first place. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But now that they’re hired Edwards would only look weak and lacking in due diligence if he were to fire them for this.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;

		<description>Don&#039;t surrender mimi. I knew what you meant and it was an appropriate comment. I think most here get that.

&quot;There are certain sects, which secretly form themselves in the learned world, as well as factions in the political; and though sometimes they come not to an open rupture, they give a different turn to the ways of thinking of those who have taken part on either side. The most remarkable of this kind are the sects, founded on the different sentiments with regard to the dignity of human nature; which is a point that seems to have divided philosophers and poets, as well as divines, from the beginning of the world to this day.&quot;</description>

		<description>There is a three way cage match going on over at JohnEdwards.com.

In this corner, the candidate, looking to beat his own record for tone deaf, shameless pandering.

In this corner, some skank from Austin that no one&#039;s ever heard of, but who has successfully become the bitch du jour of the uberleft.

And in this corner, the moonbat commenters, who should need no introduction.  Have you ever read a series of comments so utterly disconnected from reality? 

Good luck to all three parties; this is a death match -- three men enter, none leave.</description>

		<description>I remember when I was a wee tyke and I got caught with my hand in the cookie jar, and I had to explain to Mom that I was actually &lt;em&gt;employing satire to mock the very concept of the sweet tooth&lt;/em&gt;. Unfortunately for me, she was smarter than the audience of Pandagon.</description>

Problem is, I believe it was the insane Ms. Marcotte who brought the T-word in to that discussion. Patterico called her an “idiot”, she responded by bringing up the T-word and going off the way she did. At least that’s what I gather.
