My take is that if Rich thinks that McCain has more foreign policy creds than my housepets, his column is only fit to use for paper training.

But I think I figured out Rich’s MO.

He trashed Gore unmercifully and gave us Bush and when Bush f’d up he had endless fodder for his column. Now he’ll do his best to give us McCain. When McCain f’s up he’ll have endless fodder for his column.

You think people actually listen to who makes endorsements?

Hilary, on CBS, said something new in explaining Bill’s behaviour recent, that “he loves me”. I think that is going to resonate with women.

He went with It’s bad to fight. Choose me. I’m not all divisive like them.

Everybody still ignored him, but New Yorkers who didn’t blink and miss it are amused.

When I did that for Howard Dean I got quick trip on the learning curve about people and what they expect to see in a presidential candidate. Factors that contribute to a candidate’s electability are real.

I have to wonder when the last time any pundit or high paid consultant canvassed the public for themselves instead of relying on data supplied to them. I wonder venture to say they enjoy the view the from the ivory tower because from there they see little of the details that matter.

Why the heck is the press paying any attention at all go Giuliani? Where is Obama? Where for that matter is Mr. “Kingmaker” Edwards?

I swear, the MSM might simply do the next four years in complete denial of who is president. In 2012 I may fine myself yelling at my television…

“Today President Giuliani continued his low key approach to running the country.”

(”What? Obama has been president since 2009!”)

“We’re looking forward to President Giuliani’s visit to Jamaica later this year with his First Mistress.”

(”Judy Nathan dumped him! He’s dating his niece, and he’s NOT president! President Obama and Vice President Edwards are in Tel Aviv for the peace accord!”)

“Up next, President Giuliani’s fashion leadership: will everone be wearing bathrobes in the boardroom?”

(”AAAARGGH!”)
