Contagious George, or The Masque of the Red Death

[No Exit]

THIS (from Billmon) is priceless:

"Dr. Death

From the National Journal's political bloviator, Chuck Todd:

There's plenty of evidence to suggest that President Bush may have been the deciding factor that killed the GOP's momentum in some key Senate races over the last week. One Republican consultant is convinced that Bush's last-minute visit to Missouri on behalf of ousted GOP Sen. Jim Talent did the incumbent in. According to the network exit polls, Democrat Claire McCaskill crushed Talent among those late-breaking voters who decided in the final three days (a full 11 percent of the electorate). Bush also made a last-minute trip to Montana, where anecdotal evidence indicates the president's rally for Republican Conrad Burns stopped the incumbent's momentum in Billings.
I said earlier this year that I thought Shrub would end up about as popular as cholera. But I never thought he'd prove almost as lethal. Campaiging with him was like campaigning with Typhoid Mary."

5. I'd assume (and hope) that they report on * the way our media reports on Chavez

or on Ahmadinejad. Bush is truly a tin-pot dictator--whereas Chavez and Ahmadinejad actually have brains. In Ahmadinejad's case it is particularly galling, considering that the man is apparently some sort of scholar and professor. Shrub can barely form a sentence. I get sick of our media calling other people's chosen leaders "thugs" when we have been for so long crushed under the heel of a crooked, banana-republic-style dictator who thrives on the ignorance, fear, and laziness of his constituents.

6. The understatement of their report makes our media look hysterical.

They said his trip (to stump) "didn't work".

Lol! -- they got it exactly right.
