And The Leftinistra Slip Further Into Obscurity
Reid says to himself..."Oh my [god]...they are winning. Now what do I do? I know. I'll call Nancy! Yeah! That's the ticket!
"Hello? Nancy? What is my next step? Really? Ignore it for long enough and it will go away? Really? You sure? Oh. Yeah. Right. Just like when we repeat our lies to garner votes and position for long enough, the American Idiots fall for our crap! Man! How could I be so stupid? What? Well, jeez! You didn't have to go and answer that. Damn, Nancy.
"But some of the weaker ones that have their own consciences still in tact are beginning to bail on us. What do we do about that? AH! Take their pork away! Why didn't I think of that? What do you mean I am dumber than a box of turtle turds? Snooper? Who in the hell is that? And who is collecting turtle turds for Christ's sake? Oh! Sorry. I didn't mean to mention a religious figure. Can I still have my warm mocca-java? OK. Now. Who is Snooper?
"AH! One of those friggin' Blog Swarm creeps! We need to shut them down! They are WAY too effective and they are beating the hell out of our pet moonbat base! They are slipping fast and now that idiot Cindy says she is mobilizing the base to take us out!! Who does she think she is?
"HOLY COW! Oh. There I go getting religious again. Sorry. I know. You weren't asking for a character witness but I am scared. Everybody is saying how dumb I am and it hurts my feelings. Why can't they just listen to us so we can stay in power and why does that dumb military have to go and start winning? Don't they know that will destroy us? We have worked so hard at getting the American Idiots to believe our lies and now they are using those SAME lies on us! It isn't fair!
"OH, bite me, Nancy! You went out and did that retarded Damascus thing and screwed it up so bad! Talk about calling the kettle pink. What? Black? Isn't that politically incorrect to use that color? Listen, Stretch. You are the one...but...but...but...STFU beeotch! Hello? Hello? Nancy?
"Well. Hell. She hung up on me. Maybe if I call Rush...?"
It it was only true...
One senator said U.S. troops are routing out al-Qaida in parts of Iraq. Another insisted President Bush's plan to increase troops has caused tactical momentum.
One even went so far on Wednesday as to say the argument could be made that U.S. troops are winning.
These are not Bush-backing GOP die-hards, but Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin, Bob Casey and Jack Reed. Even Sen. Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services committee, said progress was being made by soldiers.

This doesn't necessarily mean these senators will abandon their calls for retreat, but it does seem likely that, come next month, those Democrats who do want America to win in Iraq--as well as Republican weak sisters, who've feared that they'll pay a price politically if they don't jump on the surrender bandwagon--will have an easier time voting their consciences.
On the other hand, it's doubtful that this will change the politics of the Democratic presidential race, where the core voters have always opposed the war and, failing that, favored retreat.
Actually, when you think about it, it's amazing how similar the 2008 race is to the 2004 race. We have a formidable establishment candidate who originally backed the war, then changed his mind (John Kerry then, Hillary Clinton now); a challenger who has opposed the war all along, and who is clearly out of his depth (Howard Dean, Barack Obama); and a third guy who stands around looking pretty (John Edwards, John Edwards). The biggest difference is that Mike Gravel doesn't quite have the gravitas of a Carol Moseley Braun.
This year, of course, everyone seems to think the Democrats are very likely, even guaranteed, to win. That's because, unlike in 2004, George W. Bush is very, very unpopular. The biggest danger for the Dems, then, is that their nominee will figure out that Bush is not on the ballot and won't know what to do.
Say It Ain't So!
From the Hill:Congress's failure to secure a timetable for withdrawing American troops from Iraq has split anti-war activists on the tactical question of whether to attack Democrats, who now control Capitol Hill.
The split has also underlined accusations among some activists that MoveOn has abandoned its credentials as an issue-based advocacy group and now instead provides cover for Democratic Party leaders.
We guess we should apologize for our August 2003 characterization of MoveOn as a "far-left, pro-Saddam group." It seems they're actually just a bunch of partisans. How disappointing.
