Markos Moulitsas at Daily Kos says Newt Gingrich makes sense:
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said Tuesday that any lawmaker who votes for the Bush administration’s $700 billion bailout package, which he called a “dead loser,” will face defeat in November.
Gingrich (R-GA) said he thinks Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson is trying to scare […]
Andrew Sullivan (at 1:10 into the clip) of the Atlantic Daily Dish:
[Palin] is a farce. The nomination of this person to potentially be the President of the United States next January, technically speaking she could be President next January, is a joke. It is absurd. It is something that should be dismissed out of […]
The nine most terrifying words in the English language are “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”

Whoever’s been tutoring her these last two weeks should be fired. […]

Here is what John McCain had to say about the tragedy on August 4, 2007:
My friends, it was a terrible tragedy. I think perhaps you can make an argument that part of the responsibility lies […]
Frankly, the first thing I thought of was this picture of Rudy Giuliani.
Well done, Sarah Palin! Last night the governor of Alaska and former mayor of Wasilla emerged from her 5 day hibernation with McCain tutors to give an inspired reading of the speech written for Joe Leiberman in front of a partisan crowd starved for excitement. Kudos to Charlie Black and his team for an excellent […]

It made the usual lame comparison to religious fervor, using phrases like “viewed by many as a messianic figure”, “his true believers”, “Obama’s disciples”, and “God is not mocked. Nor is His Chosen One”. […]
