The Week That Was
The fantastic kavips surveys the interesting headlines of the day and wonders if we are as cocky as we were last week after Obama clinched the Democratic nomination. If I am to believe the evidence of my newsreader, Delaware Liberal doesn’t rate too highly on the cockiness meter, but I have no doubt that we provided a bit of a performance.
I’ll tell you, though, that the thing on kavips’ list that may be the biggest tell of what is to come is that even the comedian Rush Limbaugh is still calling out John McCain. On his manliness, no less. This from a guy who keeps getting caught with viagra not prescribed for him at airports. If McCain still doesn’t have the shill of all RNC shills actually, you know, shilling for him — there’s clearly a whole bunch of GOPers who are gonna be demonstrating alot of independence this election season. We should be on the lookout for the websites they create!
In the meantime, if I could add to kavips’ list:
Jack Abramoff to be sentenced in September, right around the GOPer convention.
The idiot Bill Kristol dispairs over McCain’s campaign.
Bob Novak dispairs over McCains inability to dominate the conservative Christian vote.
This Kossack surveys Hillaryis44 and finds there are only 180 unique screen names.
And, lastly, Tom Tomorrow’s wrap up of last week’s events. Bonus points for spotting the Total Nerd factor here:

What stands out to me is how conservative blogs are filled with posts about Obama and practically none about McCain. They’re ignoring their candidate.
Well maybe they’re adhering to the old adage… If you don’t have anything nice to say…
I stopped watching “Doctor Who” about two minutes after I accidently watched one minute of it.
Cassandra,
Great post. Reading that thing about Limbaugh I had to track it down and found this by jeff feldman.
Very interesting stuff on McCain’s New Orleans speech.
Jeff Feldman is a very clever guy about how language gets used and that is a great observation that McCain is trying to walk his fine line of not Bush bashing by just bashing government. And comedian Rush Limbaugh does not respect veterans, clearly. Or his elders.
I love the McCain background that Tom Tomorrow did on that cartoon (whose image I’ve clearly broken the page with).
I love that one and “The Audacity of Nope!”
How great is it that after no news of Bill Lee, I wake up this morning to both the News Journal and WDEL trumpeting the newest spin put out by the Republican campaign machine…
Both headlines made news by saying in essence, that Bill Lee has been invisible over the last 6 weeks.
What a way to grab the headlines. Sounds like they really do need a top notch press agent…..
In contrast……Mike Protack had a really good announcement which I heard on WDEL….
He might be on to something……
