In spite of the political issues surrounding the writers strike, I posted it on my own site because I felt like it had significant educational value. It was obvious that the cuts were due to Goldbrick’s inability to explain his position on anything. At the end, Stewart just leans back in his chair imitating frustrated boredom. Sheer genius. Highly recommended.</p> This interview was awesome!

in terms of policy direction, every new initiative that has become standard for the candidates come from left of center. and the longer that edwards keeps the tension on the left, the better- hopefully all the way to the white house.

Why no complaints about no Osama? just as another example

You got that right!

RG’s delusionary state cannot get enough exposure
For example.
The NYT wrote today/yesterday of the concern about his poor results of his backers in the NY/NJ/CT region that his strategy of ignoring early primaries was faulty.
Poor NYT has forgotten one week later that he did not ignore NH, in fact out spent others on ad buys and to take into consideration the fact that voters do have preferences and may have heard a few bad things about him.
