Mr. Preston: One of the big accusations that’s leveled at her all the time is that she’s a puppet for somebody, and I got to tell you, anybody that tries to make a puppet out of her is going to have a stump for an arm. It’s not going to work.

That’s a good one Bryan…

Your stuff shows a startling level of talent and wit that is equaled only by the very best in the blogosphere. I agree with Valiant, your compulsively readable and subtly written contributions make HotAir an addictive thing rather than simply a great video blog. There's also a balance thing, with others providing the straight-ahead conservatism, and you providing the self-questioning side, almost as though you're constantly expecting the opposition to start making sense, and sadly shaking your head when it doesn't seem to happen.
